BEST GPUs to buy in September 2024!!!

These are my picks for the best value GPUs at each price point:
Best GPU under $200
Best GPU around $300
Best GPU around $400
Best GPU around $600
Best $700 GPU (but not great for RT)
Best $800 GPU:
Past this point is diminishing returns on "value" and next gen could be out soon, so I don't really recommend. But if you want to buy anyway:
Best $1000 GPU:
I want High FPS 4K Ray Tracing, I don't care about price:

Believing the 5090 will release at the same price point as the 4090 is the most wishful thinking I've heard in recent months...

[Vermilicious]

GPUs are still way too expensive overall.

[lastexile]

The fact that some people belive that 5090/80 will be in same price point as 4090/080 is mind blowing lol

i snagged a radeon 6800 non xt a while back and i never regretted my purchase. great 1440p performance

[thkhoa]

Thank you the $699 price tag of the PS5 Pro, for making my $300 6800XT look and age like fine wine LOL

[sherrydowns]

Glad to see you mentioning the 7900 gre

[ShadowAngelSK]

right now the best value is the RX 7900 XT. Here in Europe at least its 720, and the performance is roughly 95-96% of a 4080 for 33% cheaper

[zevak]

I just looked prices here in Australia, a 4090 is $3600, I spat my imaginary coffee all over my screen

[andrejsimak]

i picked up an 7900xt nitro + for 600 bucks thanks god

[Milo-vume]

I wish people would stop talking about gaytracing. Let Ngreedia keep their gimmick.

[fernandoteacher]

I’m on a 6700xt and play at 1440p. Works like a charm

Just bought a new 4070 ti Super MSI Slim on Amazon. Was also able to snag up an Amazon Resale shipped and sold by Amazon 7800X3D for $320 and it comes tomorrow.

[swshaffer]

The fact that some people will be tripping over themselves to spend almost $2, 000 for a 10% increase in performance is wild to me.

I'm pretty sure the 6000 series cards will not get the AI based FSR 4. So I think the RX 7800 XT is a better choice than the RX 6800 XT. Even at the really low price. The RX 6800 XT is really terrible at RT, I'm not saying the RX 7800 XT is great at it, like Nvidia cards, but yes the 7000 series cards are clearly better at it then 6000 series cards.

BUY USED!!! Got a 6700xt for $175. It depends on your area, but there are some great deals out there as long as you're carefull.

[knock]

I literally picked the worst time to want a new graphics card 😂😂

[TheSpawnTrapper]

I just bought the ASRock 6800 XT, the XFX 6800 is $360 right now on Amazon and is also a really good deal if you aren't interested in the Game Bundle the 7700 XT gets. The Fighter 7700 XT is $350 in places.

[Fenris-Ski]

Hey Daniel, I know the AMD GPU's are behind The Nvidia GPU's for ray tracing. But do you think you do a video on just the AMD cards and their ray-tracing capabilities? And maybe compare them loosely to the Nvidia cards. I think it would be really helpful to those of us running the AMD cards.

[J.Wick.]

My 2080 and 4070Ti are still chugging right along. Looking forward to seeing what the 50 series entails.
