Best GPUs in 2022 for you - Without breaking the bank

 You want a GPU? On a budget? Super performance? Also with RT?! Ok, so...


In 2021, getting a GPU is a hard nut to crack. But if you can't wait, You're in the right place to get info for a new GPU.

 Note: This GPU list is not based not "Only" on US area, it is based on the GPU stock status of the whole world. So, keep that in mind.

So, here are the best GPU's of 2021 at a glance.

1) Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030. (Best at budget)

2) Visiontek Radeon RX 560. (Overall best for mid budget)

3) Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founder edition. (Best for some punching performance)

4) Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 twin Edge. (Best for 1080p ray tracing.)

5) Sapphire Technology Radeon RX 6600. (Winner for 1080p!)

6) Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity OC edition. (Best for 1440p and 2160p.)

Let's jump on the GPU details and pros and cons.

1) Gigabyte GT 1030 OC 2G :



Yes, for now this is the good looing GPU for the budget seekers. But honestly it's a really good OC GPU. Don't underestimate this GT. Here is a small video of GT 1030 where the tester is using 16 GB of DDR4 ram combined with a Intel core i3 9100f. By, "Testing Games".


As you see you can get a playable FPS on the new games like RDR 2. And getting 60 to 80 FPS on the previous gen games like GTA 5. So I hope you may consider this GPU for your next upgrade if you're not a Nvidia GTX user or a AMD RX 500 series user.

But if you are, you're not here to read the praise of this GT lineup GPU. So here some suitable upgrades for you,

2) Visiontek Radeon RX 560:





This GPU is really worthy, for those who are using GTX 6 series or GT series GPU's. It can fight nicely against the GTX 7 series. Even in some cases it could also tackle the Nvidia 10 series GPU's. It also got 4 GB vram with GDDR5 high speed memory. Which is a nice amount of memory to play some decent games of these days. The GPU clock speed (1175 MHz) and the stream cores are pretty decent. Yeah, I know that you are seeing the old GPU design which cannot create a decent impression to the buyer's eye. But it's not the design, the spotlight of this GPU is it's performance. With four 4K@60 FPS ports, you can't connect more than four displays. But that's spectacularly enough. Also, for the favor of performance and current GPU stock situation, you may consider to buy one.

3) Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founder edition :



The GTX 1080 is a monster! It's performance and price are pretty decent in these days. But the problem is this GPU  is discontinued. That means you can barely find it in stock. But still I got some  purchase links down below. This GPU can achieve decent FPS in many modern games. I don't have much to say about it. Here's a video of it's monstrous performance.




This video was uploaded by "Testing Games". This was combined with a Intel Core i9 9900K and 16 GB DDR4 memory. And it's amazing! In COD Warzone, it got over 100 FPS on average in 1080P ultra!
And achieving 58 FPS in 4K. But the problem..... as I said availability. But anyways, go check pricing on amazon and other sites.

 4) Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 twin Edge:

With a few things that can control the performance of the game, you only know what to expect from this card in all 1080p, 1440p, and 4K when playing in high or ultra graphics. So this card really counts on this list!

In the first two counts, 1440p and 1080p, I am happy to say that all is well in the green side. These resolutions are easily accessible on the RTX 3060 across all of our gaming benches, even in the available photo settings. We expect nothing less from the entry-level cards these days, so the $ 329 GPU should get higher scores. And actually it does. So, you may consider to get one at this situation.

5) Sapphire Technology Radeon RX 6600:


Yes, I've to include the both Pulse and Nitro+ edition. The red side just did the right thing for gamers in the siege of... you know. 

SAPPHIRE does not change much here with the PULSE Radeon RX 6600 XT GAMING OC, PULSE cooler and style that remains unchanged - the new features are the Navi 23 GPU and 8GB of GDDR6 And with FSR. You won't see much difference in performance between custom RX 6600 XT cards, so what does SAPPHIRE do differently here?

Difference is price, it's MSRP is jus $20 ahead of the original aka founder edition. But who takes the MSRP these days?

I personally recommend pulse edition because it's kinda... Cheaper.

6) Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity OC edition:

This GPU is our champion! Because,

ZOTAC does not have the best GPU clocks out of the box, but this is a stock model of the Trinity - rather than the fast RTX 3080 Trinity OC, the RTX 3080 AMP Hall and the flagship RTX 3080 AMP Extreme Hall.

Because of this I won't recommend you a RTX 3080 Trinity. I'll instead give you the purchase links for the champion OC edition of this card.

The non OC edition can drop a few FPS on the heavy visuals. But the OC edition is the bright side of this card series. More good sides are, ice storm cooling 2.0, superbly customized RGB design etc. I can't tell the all so,

Final thoughts: 

This is a situation of chip shortage, so actually I can't tell if you can find this cards at the desired price. But I tried my best to give you some recommendations. If you're not happy, wait till 2023. (According to Intel).
