Getting the best graphics card for your PC is the number one upgrade you can make, and can take your system from being a solid performer to a top-class choice. Therefore, it makes sense to spend some time researching which card is going to be best for your needs, budget and otherwise.
To make life easier, you can lean on Eurogamer’s extensive testing into the matter, as we’ve picked out the best GPUs that we’ve tested from across the catalogue of Nvidia, AMD and Intel releases at a range of price points to keep things simple.
The long and short of it is that, rather unsurprisingly, Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is easily the best GPU we’ve tested, with a decent generational uplift over its predecessor, the benefit of Nvidia’s new multi frame gen tech with DLSS 4 and upgraded VRAM in both capacity and speed.
If you want more information on which GPU you should be plonking in your system, then read on to find out our recommendations.

It is perhaps unsurprising that the best GPU outright that we’ve tested is the Nvidia RTX 5090. It sits atop the tree of Nvidia’s new Blackwell architecture as a near £2000/$2000 spectacle of 4K gaming performance in an unfathomably slender form factor – at least in its hard-to-find Nvidia Founders Edition iteration, with third-party cards largely using the customary triple-slot designs we’ve come to expect from flagship Nvidia GPUs.
