So while pricing still sucks compared to 2019, it could be worse, a lot worse.

For that, we’ve come up with some fresh data and created a cost per frame analysis.

We tested at 1080p 1440p and 4K resolutions using theRyzen 7 5800X3Dwith DDR4-3600 CL16 memory andresizable BARenabled.

With that said, the most valuable information here is the frame rate data.

That makes it 16% cheaper than the 6500 XT per frame.

TheGeForce RTX 3060 Tistacks up better despite costing more per frame.

For comparing more higher-end graphics cards let’s move to 1440p.

As we move beyond the mid-range though towards the higher-end models, AMD stacks up well.

Where the GeForce range becomes ridiculous is with the RTX 3090 series.

The3090at $1,700 is dumb and the 3090 Ti at $2,000 is equally silly.

The 3080 12GB was between $100 to $200 more expensive, which is still the case today.

The best value GeForce GPU in Australia is theRTX 3060 Tior3060.

The RTX 3060 is also competitive with the 6600 XT.

As we get to the high-end parts, AMD does stack up well.

Closing Notes

That’s where things stand on the GPU frontas of April 2022.

We’ve updated the data for most GPUs at this point.

We hope this guide is helpful to those of you buying a new graphics card right now.
