TOP 5 BUDGET GRAPHICS CARD

1. AMD RX 6600 

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is a best mid range graphics card that is based on the RDNA 2 architecture and uses the Navi 23 chip. It offers 1,792 shaders and 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM with a 128 bit memory interface (14 Gbps, 224 GB/s max).

The RDNA2 architecture offers new features like SAM (Smart Access Memory) and Infinity Cache. PCIe 4.0, RIS (Radeon Image Sharpener) and Raytracing support are also included in the RX6600.

2. NVIDIA RTX 3050

The GeForce RTX 3050 is one of Nvidia’s latest desktop GPUs. Unlike the premium RTX 3090, the RTX 3050 is a moderately specced and moderately priced entry-level GPU.

In a world where people are clamoring to get their hands on cards like the RTX 3080ti and RTX 3090, the RTX 3050 is somewhat of an oddity. A card specializing in 1080p/60fps gaming isn’t something most hardcore PC gamers want in 2022. Sure, ray tracing is a great addition, as is DLSS and Nvidia G-sync, but outside of those features, the card isn’t all that impressive on paper.

3. NVIDIA GTX 1660 SUPER

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super is a powerful mid tier GPU. The GTX 1660 Super is based on the TU116 chip with 1,408 shader units, 48 ROPs, 88 TMUs and a 192-bit-wide memory bus (GDDR6 clocked at 7 GHz, effectively 14 GHz, bandwidth: up to 336 GB/s).The TU116 chip and other Turing-based GPUs are produced using the 12-nm manufacturing process. However, the GeForce GTX 1660 does not offer the latest features such as DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and Real Time Ray Tracing. Nevertheless, there are some architectural improvements when it comes to floating point and integer performance. These operations can now be carried out simultaneously.

4. AMD RX 6500XT

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is a performance-segment graphics card by AMD, launched on January 19th, 2022. Built on the 6 nm process, and based on the Navi 24 graphics processor, in its Navi 24 XT variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon RX 6500 XT. The Navi 24 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 107 mm² and 5,400 million transistors. It features 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The card also has 16 raytracing acceleration cores. AMD has paired 4 GB GDDR6 memory with the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 2310 MHz, which can be boosted up to 2815 MHz, memory is running at 2248 MHz (18 Gbps effective).

5. NVIDIA GTX 1650

The GeForce GTX 1650 is a mid-range graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on April 23rd, 2019. Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the TU117 graphics processor, in its TU117-300-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GTX 1650. The TU117 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 200 mm² and 4,700 million transistors. It features 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 1650, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1485 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1665 MHz, memory is running at 2001 MHz (8 Gbps effective).
