Our GPU Value Score is based on performance per dollar (65% weight), warranty (10%), and reviews (25%). Performance is measured by 3DMark TimeSpy score, a standardised DirectX 12 benchmark. Higher score = better performance per dollar spent.
Which GPU is best for 1440p gaming?
For 1440p gaming at high/ultra settings, the RTX 4070 Super and RX 7800 XT are the current sweet spots — enough VRAM and performance to handle any modern title at 1440p. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is the premium step up for future-proofing.
8GB is the minimum for 1080p gaming. 12–16GB is the sweet spot for 1440p and texture-heavy games. 24GB is recommended for 4K gaming, AI workloads, and professional 3D work. Modern AAA titles are increasingly pushing past 8GB at higher settings.
