Best gaming graphics card in 2026: the complete comparison
The graphics card (GPU) is the most important component for a gaming PC. In 2026, NVIDIA dominates with RTX 4000, while AMD offers excellent alternatives with RX 7000.
Budget €200–300: RTX 4060 or RX 7600
The RTX 4060 (€250–280) is the best gaming GPU under €300 in 2026. It reaches 60–100 FPS at 1080p ultra on all recent AAA titles.
The RX 7600 (€200–240) is slightly less powerful but has more VRAM (8 GB).
Budget €300–450: RTX 4060 Ti or RX 7700 XT
The RTX 4060 Ti (€330–380) offers a significant performance jump at 1440p.
The RX 7700 XT (€320–370) competes directly with 12 GB VRAM — a notable advantage.
NVIDIA vs AMD: how to choose?
Choose NVIDIA (RTX) if: you stream (NVENC), play DLSS 3 titles, or use AI tools (CUDA).
Choose AMD (RX) if: you want more VRAM for the same price, use Linux, or pure rasterization value is priority.
