The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition offers huge gains over its predecessors. It's the first graphics card to get you 4K 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled, and upscaling disabled. Do you prefer 120 FPS instead of 60? Just turn on DLSS 3.

ASRock's Radeon RX 6950 XT OC Formula is one of the fastest RX 6950 XT custom designs we've reviewed, and its great cooler achieves excellent temperatures. The card also has a super-strong VRM with 21-phases, more than any other RX 6950 XT.

The quad-slot ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 Noctua is the quietest RTX 3080 we ever tested by a huge margin. Even when fully loaded and delivering more than 60 FPS at 4K resolution is the card nearly inaudible. Not only noise levels are incredible, temperatures are very impressive, too.

The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT Reference Design card not only looks great, but also achieves excellent performance, matching the GeForce RTX 3090, but at much better pricing. Because of good optimization and surprisingly good energy efficiency, AMD's thermal solution works very well, too.

The Sapphire Radeon RX 6950 XT Pure is a new addition to Sapphire's lineup that comes with a sexy white color theme. In our review, we find out that the card not only looks great, but the quad-slot cooler achieves fantastic noise levels which make 4K gaming at 60 FPS a whisper-quiet experience.

MSI's Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio is the fastest RX 6950 XT we tested today, making it the fastest Radeon we ever tested. It beats the NVIDIA RTX 3090 and almost matches the much more expensive RTX 3090 Ti, with very little noise and good temperatures.

The Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600 Eagle is the only triple-fan design variant for the RX 6600. In our review, we're taking a close look at the cooling capabilities of this dual-slot card and also run it through our 25-game strong test suite, plus 9 ray tracing titles.

The ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 Noctua OC is the quietest graphics card we ever tested thanks to a dual 120 mm fan setup made by Noctua. It runs so quietly, you'll have to put your ear right next to it to hear it at all even when fully loaded while gaming.

AMD's Radeon RX 6600 is an excellent choice for 1080p Full HD gaming. As our review shows, the red team's latest release has enough power to achieve 60 FPS at maximum details, yet doesn't require much power to do so. It's actually the most energy-efficient graphics card we ever tested, which helps keep noise levels down, too.

The Zotac GeForce RTX 3070 Ti AMP Extreme Holo is the highest-clocked RTX 3070 Ti available; it also comes with a huge cooler that’s over 35 cm long. Temperatures and noise levels are excellent, depending on whether you’ve activated the software-switched dual BIOS for "performance" or "quiet" mode.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the green team's answer to AMD's recent Radeon launches. In our testing, this 12 GB card basically matches the much more expensive RTX 3090 24 GB in performance. The compact dual-slot Founders Edition design looks gorgeous and is of amazing build quality.

Palit's GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GamingPro is clocked at reference speeds, but doesn't come with a price increase over the NVIDIA MSRP. This makes the card an attractive option for gamers looking for the best 4K performance without overspend for fancy custom designs.

The ASRock Radeon RX 6900 XT OC Formula is built using AMD's new Navi 21 XTXH chip, which runs much higher clocks than what the regular RX 6900 XT can achieve. In our testing, this is the first AMD card in a long time to beat NVIDIA's current-generation flagship, the RTX 3090.

The ASRock RX 6700 XT Phantom Gaming D is the first factory overclocked card that's actually faster than the AMD reference. All other competitors failed to deliver any performance gains. Not only out-of-the-box performance is good, overclocking is better than with any other RX 6700 XT, too.

Gigabyte's Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC comes with a triple-fan, triple-slot cooler that achieves temperatures and noise levels that are better than the AMD RX 6700 XT reference design. Unlike many other cards, we saw good overclocking potential, better than nearly every other RX 6700 XT we've tested so far.

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT introduces the new Navi 22 GPU, which is optimized to take the fight to NVIDIA in the $500 segment. The RX 6700 XT in our review beats the RTX 3060 Ti with ease and achieves performance that rivals the more expensive RTX 3070, with lower fan noise.

MSI's Radeon RX 6700 XT uses a more compact physical design than other cards, which ensures it will fit into all cases. Even though it just has a dual-fan cooler, the card achieves an excellent balance between temperatures and noise levels: whisper-quiet when loaded, fans stopped when idle.

The XFX Radeon RX 6700 XT Merc 319 not only looks amazing, it's also by far the quietest RX 6700 XT we tested today. Despite the impressive acoustics, temperatures are uncompromised and much better than the AMD reference card. Idle fan stop is included, too, of course.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3060 Ti comes at incredible pricing of $399, yet beats the GeForce RTX 2080 Super in rasterization, and even the RX 6800 in raytracing. In our RTX 3060 Ti review, we found that NVIDIA picked a fantastic cooler that's extremely quiet, yet fits everywhere because of its dual-slot design.

The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a worthy opponent to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. It offers similar performance at better power efficiency and lower noise levels. In our Radeon RX 6800 XT review, we also take a closer look at raytracing and "Rage Mode", a new 1-click method for overclocking.

The Radeon RX 6800 is the world's most power-efficient graphics card, better than anything NVIDIA Ampere has to offer. The smaller brother to the RX 6800 XT comes with a smaller heatsink, at more affordable pricing, but retains the lavish 16 GB VRAM memory buffer.
