GRAPHICS CARDS
With the arrival of AMD’s RX 6000 series, we now know how the high-end of graphics cards looks for this GPU generation. At the pinnacle of performance, you’ve got Nvidia’s RTX 3090 sparring off with the RX 6900 XT. That’s a fierce match, but the Nvidia card takes the win.
Performance doesn’t come cheap—the RTX 3090 will set you back $1,499, somehow making the $999 RX 6900 XT look cheap. Well, definitely cheaper. As ever it’s the more affordable cards that have the biggest impact on PC gaming as whole. Or they would, if it were possible to find any of them in stock.
It’s important to know exactly what you’re after before attempting any risque back alley purchases. And that’s where I come in, PC Gamer’s resident graphics card fixer.
