So we'll have to wait and see if there's room for Intel's contributions. The GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3070 are two of the best graphics cards to date, and AMD isn't far behind with the Radeon RX 6800 XT-it rivals even the RTX 3080's stellar graphical performance at the high end. Nvidia's Ampere GPU generation has set the bar high for prospective contenders. That's likely to make the GPU landscape a little more complicated. Soon enough, Intel will drop in with its Arc Alchemist graphics card. With the launch of the Radeon RX 6800 XT things got very interesting, leaving both Nvidia and AMD vying for the best GPU crown.

We've put each GPU through our gaming benchmark test bench wringer, with in-depth analysis comparing thermal performance, power draw measurements with dedicated tools, along with average frequencies and frame times.įinally, as we've noticed from our testing, the GPU market is getting competitive again. Although Covid-19 and cryptocurrency booms (among other things) have helped to stretch the GPU market to its limits, we've still managed to test every new graphics card from the most recent generation.
