2025: A Big Year for Graphics Cards
In 2025, Nvidia is introducing the RTX 5000 series, while AMD is launching the RX 8000 lineup. These cards are expected to bring a major performance leap, but that doesn’t always mean they’re the best value for everyone.
With mid-gen refreshes like Nvidia’s “SUPER” and AMD’s “XT” or “XTX” models still in circulation, now is the perfect time to break down which GPUs actually offer the best experience across different resolutions and budgets.
Top Graphics Cards for Gaming in 2025
Whether you’re Team Nvidia, loyal to AMD, or curious about Intel GPUs — we’ve got something here for every type of gamer.
Best for 1080p: Nvidia RTX 4060 8GB
Don’t be fooled by its age — the RTX 4060 is still a great choice for Full HD gaming. With many retailers offering it between €300 and €350, it provides stable FPS and great visual quality in modern games, including GTA VI.
Even with the RTX 5060 expected around April 2025, the RTX 4060 remains a solid option — a fantastic entry-level choice in both performance and price. Of course, your overall PC setup matters too. Make sure the rest of your components don’t bottleneck the GPU — but that’s true for any graphics card you choose.
Surprising Contender: Intel Arc B580
The Arc B580 surprised everyone with its performance. While Intel’s first-gen GPUs were a flop, the B580 is a serious option for both 1080p and even 1440p gaming.
Priced around €300, it rivals AMD’s RX 7600 and Nvidia’s RTX 4060 in raw performance — but with 12GB of VRAM, it offers better future-proofing. Its main downside is higher power consumption, so you’ll need a beefier PSU.
Best 1440p Option: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT
If you’re gaming at 2K resolution, the RX 7700 XT hits the sweet spot. Originally priced above €600, it’s now available around €400–€500, making it a strong and valuable option.
With 12GB of VRAM and impressive rasterization performance, it’s perfect for both gamers and creators — often overlooked in favor of more popular picks like the RTX 4060 Ti.
Best Price-to-Performance: Nvidia RTX 4070 SUPER
Still in the 1440p (and even light 4K) territory, the RTX 4070 SUPER is arguably one of the best value cards in Nvidia’s 4000 series. Priced around €600, it matches the performance of the more expensive RTX 4070 Ti.
It’s about 20% more powerful than the RX 7700 XT and can handle many 4K games — thanks to DLSS and excellent ray tracing. It’s a must-have for competitive gamers looking for high FPS.
Best for 4K: Nvidia RTX 4080 SUPER
If you’re aiming for smooth 4K gaming, the RTX 4080 SUPER is your go-to. While AMD’s RX 7900 XT is a close contender, Nvidia’s superior ray tracing and DLSS give it the edge — especially in next-gen titles.
Yes, the price can reach €1,200 or more, but for those who want the absolute best gaming experience, this is the one.
Don’t Forget the Software!
Software matters more than many gamers realize — from Nvidia’s GeForce Experience to AMD’s Adrenalin suite, both offer amazing tools for gaming, driver updates, recording, and performance monitoring.
Intel is still catching up in this area, but for Nvidia and AMD users, installing these apps is a must to unlock the full potential of your GPU.
Price vs. Performance vs. Practicality
You might be wondering: “Where’s the RTX 4090?”
While it’s a beast in terms of raw power, it’s not a practical choice for most gamers. Unless you’re working with AI or high-end production workloads, its price-to-performance ratio for gaming just doesn’t add up.
Final Thoughts
Prices may vary depending on availability and current deals, but we’ve done our best to check and provide accurate ranges. If something looks off, feel free to do your own research and learn more about the GPUs that catch your eye.
