Top 5 best GPUs in 2020

            It is time for the first installment  top 5 best GPUs in 2020 series and with the recent release of AMD's RADEON rx 5600 XT along with some updated pricing and even some drivers it's time for an update in this series. So the idea of this article is to summarize all of our findings from our various in-depth benchmark article and reviews so summarize all information to date to help steer you towards the best buy at each price point. As usual there are five categories and they cover numerous price ranges so there should be something for everyone so let's get to the topic top 5 best GPUs in 2020.

            Best Entry Level GPU($100-$200 Price Range):- At the time of making this article, it is possible to buy an 8 gigabyte rx 580 for as little as $160  which is a pretty incredible price for such a product though to be fair a more typical asking price is around $170 to $180. Meanwhile a gigabyte rx 570s come in at $150  with 4 gigabyte versions selling for just $120 and that's another great buy for those of you with a more limited budget. Then we have the rx 590 that's at $200. So there are quite a few Polaris based options out there for $200 or less the New Kids on the Block include the geforce gtx 1650 super at $160 u.s. or the RADEON RX 5500 XT for $200. If you want the version with an 8 gigabyte vm buffer or $180 for a measly 4 gigabytes the 5500 XT is a bit of a gimped GPU in our opinion given that it is limited to PCIe 4.0 x 8 bandwidth not only does that make the PCIe 4.0 support completely worthless. But it means the card is potentially handicapped to install in a system that only features PCIe 3.0 support which right now is the vast majority of systems especially for those buying entry-level GPUs. Therefore if you're after power efficiency we recommend the GTX 1650 super $106. But if you want the most bang for your buck right now and an 8 gigabyte memory buffer we recommend the RX 580 or possibly the 590 the 8 gigabyte version of the RX 570 isn't that great in terms of value. But if you want a cheap and still very capable graphics card the 4 gigabyte 570s are a steal at just $120 u.s. So to recap the best low budget option is the 4 gigabyte rx 570, best power saving model is the gtx 1650 super and then the best bang for your buck is the aching about rx 580.

           Best Mid Range GPU($200-$300 Price Range):- Now for those of you able to spend between $200 to $300. There are a few options at the lower end of this price range we have the gtx 1660 super which is competing with the RX 590 in terms of cost per frame that about the same. So the GeForce GPU is a little faster while the RADEON GPU is a little cheaper outside of that the 1660s super uses less power but the RX 590 has a little more vrm. It's a tough choice but of the two I'd go with the 1660 super for the power savings in that extra OC Headroom. Then for those of you wanting to spend around $300 u.s. there is the RADEON rx 5600 XT and GeForce r-tx 2060. Well some RTX 2060 models this is a bit of a tough one and really it shouldn't be the 5600 XT is a little cheaper, it's also a little faster and a little more efficient add all that up and you have what should clearly be a winner. However after recently pitting the two head-to-head I ended up recommending the RT X 2060 simply because of the driver issues AMD were facing at the time. Since then though AMD has released an updated driver which addressed a number of the issues users were having and as far as I can tell a lot of the problems have been solved. Moreover in videos $300 RT x 2060 founders edition graphics cards seem to be no longer available they've been removed from the shop and the product page says out of stock and that's been the case for weeks. Now for the most part the RT X 2060 looks to be a $320 US product so about $30 u.s. more than factory overclocked AIB 5600 XTS. So given the increased price of the RTX 2060 graphics cards and the recently improved drivers from AMD I'm going to reverse my previous decision and recommend the RX 5600 XT.

            Best Performance Mid Range GPU($300-$600):- So the rather large $300 to $600 price range is still locked down by AMD with their RADEON rx 570, 570 XT. Especially now that AMD appears to have ironed out those pesky driver bugs to date I've completed a number of massive gaming benchmarks featuring the 5700, 5700 XT, RTX 2060 super and the 2070 super. So we have a very good idea of how these GPUs compare in short the 5700 XT is still at least $100 cheaper than 2070 super and when compared across a massive range of games at 1440p. It was just 6% slower on average and that meant it was 14% cheaper per frame in our cost per frame analysis. The only reason you might consider the RTX  2070 super would be for 4k gaming but even there the 5700 XT still offers more value despite being 9% slower as it cost 20% less the 5700 XT. Also eliminated the RTX 2060 super offering more performance at the same price while the vanilla 5700 offers 2060 super performance for around a $50 saving. So in my opinion this one is pretty cut-and-dry get yourself a 5700 series graphics card.

           Best Performance High End GPU($500-$700 Price Range):- Nothing's changed here if you still have around $700 to spend on a new graphics card, the GeForce RTX 2080 Super is what you're after. Mostly because there are no other alternatives and please be aware you are going. Well beyond the point of diminishing returns the 2080 Super is just 15% faster on average when compared to the 5700 XT. Yet it's priced 75% higher so you're paying 52 percent more per frame and that is quite the hefty premium. There's really not much more to say here the 2080 Super was the worst of the Super refresh at least in our opinion and with no competition from AMD Nvidia can clearly get away with charging such premiums.

            Best 4k Gaming GPU($1000+ Price Range):- Speaking of premiums can I interest you in an RTX 2080 Ti, a year and a half since it was first released AIB cards are still priced $100 over MSRP. Again you've got to love that complete lack of competition. Unfortunately for those with really deep pockets all options right now are Nvidia and the only choice for gamers seeking maximum performance is the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and yet it is certainly a beast of a graphics card offering around 20% more performance than the RTX 2080 super though it does also cost around 40% more as well. So be aware of that and as I just noted the 2080 super is pretty horrible value here you're paying about a 175% more than the 5700 XT for 47 percent more performance at 4k that said it does enable a much higher quality 4k gaming experience. But if you are after a no compromise type solution for the ultimate 4k gaming experience then I suppose get ready to part with at least $1,100 u.s. probably more like $1200. If you want one of the more fancy versions such as the gigabyte Aorus extreme, MSI gaming extreme all the asus ROG Strix for example and that brings us to the end of our picks.
