For the longest time, the best graphics card could be found squarely in the ‘green’ (read: Nvidia) department. But in 2020, AMD has a great deal to offer. With the release of AMD's Big Navi RX 6000 cards going head to head with the Nvidia RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, the Nvidia vs. AMD battle no longer has a clear-cut winner. AMD’s taking the battle to Nvidia like it hasn’t done in a very long time.
On the budget end, there are plenty of relatively inexpensive graphics cards available in 2021 to keep your gaming setup ticking over nicely. Whether you want to keep it truly cheap and cheerful and get something like an Nvidia GTX 1050 for the sole purpose of playing League of Legends or CS:GO, or spend a little extra on an Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti to be hitting 60fps at 1080p in Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War, there are some great budget graphics card options at the moment.
If you have no reservations about money, already rocking the best gaming CPU in your rig, there are treats indeed for you. The RTX 3090 is the fastest graphics card in the world right now, rocking a four-figure price tag, and there’s also the Nvidia RTX 3080 ready to take you into the next generation, with ray-tracing and DLSS capabilities combined with stellar 4K gaming performance for just under $700/£700, /if/ you can find one at that price. And with AMD threatening to compete at high-end again with its Radeon RX 6000 series cards, you've got a lot of options to mull over when it comes to upgrading your GPU.
