We also have the legacy GPU hierarchy (without benchmarks, sorted by theoretical performance) for reference purposes. On page two, you'll find our 2020–2021 benchmark suite, which has all of the previous generation GPUs running our older test suite running on a Core i9-9900K testbed. Meanwhile, Intel's Arc Alchemist architecture brings a third player into the dedicated GPU party, even if it's more of a competitor for the previous generation midrange offerings. AMD's RDNA 3 architecture powers the RX 7000-series, with only two desktop cards presently released. Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture powers its latest generation RTX 40-series, with new features like DLSS 3 Frame Generation. If you want to see additional GPU testing with recent games, check our Diablo IV, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Redfall, and Dead Island 2 GPU performance articles. Nothing new since the addition of the RTX 4060 Ti and RX 7600 to the hierarchy. The results are all without enabling DLSS, FSR, or XeSS on the various cards, mind you.

Those of course require a ray tracing capable GPU so only AMD's RX 7000/6000-series, Intel's Arc, and Nvidia's RTX cards are present.

Our full GPU hierarchy using traditional rendering (aka, rasterization) comes first, and below that we have our ray tracing GPU benchmarks hierarchy. We've also retested a bunch of cards to clear up some lingering oddities from earlier testing. Our latest additions to the hierarchy are Nvidia's RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti, and AMD's Radeon RX 7600. For now, we have the same test suite we used in 2022. We're nearly finished retesting all of the ray-tracing capable GPUs on a slightly revamped test suite, using a Core i9-13900K instead of a Core i9-12900K. Current GPU prices are slowly trending down as well, though the new cards are all holding relatively steady.

Whether it's playing games, running artificial intelligence workloads like Stable Diffusion, or doing professional video editing, your graphics card typically plays the biggest role in determining performance - even the best CPUs for Gaming take a secondary role. Our GPU benchmarks hierarchy ranks all the current and previous generation graphics cards by performance, and Tom's Hardware exhaustively benchmarks current and previous generation GPUs, including all of the best graphics cards.
