If you can’t get your hands on an RTX 3080 at the moment, we’d also suggest looking at the AMD RX 6800.

This, plus its large dual-fan design, make it an awkward fit for smaller builds. Smaller builds will also want to avoid it due to the card’s high thermals, which exceeded 90 degrees regularly when playing demanding titles in our test rig’s open case. However, our tests did show that the card can run a little hot and, based on our experience, doesn’t have much room for overclocking. While these gains aren’t to be ignored, we still recommend most buyers opt for the much more reasonably priced RTX 3080 since it represents superior value. On top of that, the RTX 3080 Ti typically only renders games around 5-10 frames faster than the base RTX 3080 in 4K with ray tracing and DLSS on. The Nvidia RTX 3080 managed to play both Control and Battlefield V in 4K, during our latest checks, with a performance over 60fps with their graphics maxed. While we found the RTX 3080 isn’t the fastest card available – with the RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti flaunting more power – it’s still more than powerful enough to play most games in 4K with ray tracing activated. The Nvidia RTX 3080 is our top recommended graphics card for gaming in 4K. Every card on the list has passed through our labs and been benchmarked using a series of specialist tools and AAA games to get accurate performance data, so you can trust our buying advice. But, if that’s not an option, scroll down as we’ve detailed the top performing cards for every budget and type of gamer that we’ve tested in the list below. If you can wait, our team of experts would actually recommend doing so. With new Nvidia RTX 4000 and AMD RDNA 3 cards expected to arrive in the very near future, as well as Intel’s first wave of Intel Arc GPUs, there is also a very good argument to wait and see how they perform when we finally get them in for testing. On top of that new technologies like resizable bar and infinity cache can also make certain cards perform better when paired with specific parts, so the answer to which is best can also be determined by what you plan to pair the GPU with. But, because they’re based on different technologies and use different terms to describe their features, comparing the two families can be fairly tricky. AMD and Nvidia currently have a number of great cards on the market covering a multitude of prices.
