GPU Compare: Compare Any Two Graphics Cards
Two graphics cards are comparable when you put the same fields next to each other: gaming score, VRAM, TDP, and the bottleneck result with one CPU held still. This page does that for seven pairs. The percent is a calculator estimate at 1440p with a Ryzen 5 7600X, 16GB DDR4-3200 dual channel, NVMe, ray tracing off, and upscaling off.

How Our GPU Scores Work
One number, one job: the gaming score is the field the bottleneck calculator uses for a gaming workload. It is not a blend of ray tracing, creator apps, and a street price. A higher score is a faster gaming card in this model. The GPU tier list is the same score, cut into bands.
How to Read a Comparison
Read the column that matches the question: VRAM when you care about texture capacity. Read TDP when the question is heat and the power supply, then confirm the connector on the compatibility checks rather than treating TDP as the whole PC. Read the 1440p column when the question is whether your current CPU still fits. A GPU-limited result means the card is the slower part. Swapping to the faster card makes that gap larger if the CPU does not move with it.
VRAM behaviour in games, separate from this score, is covered in the VRAM bottleneck guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I compare cards that are not in the seven pairs?
Yes. The calculator accepts any CPU and GPU in the database. This page only writes up the pairs people ask for most. The tier list has the rest of the scores.
Does a higher TDP mean a faster card?
No. TDP is the power figure stored for that card. The gaming score is the performance figure. Read the column that matches the question.
Why is the CPU the same in every row?
Holding the Ryzen 5 7600X still shows what the card change does. Change the CPU and both percents move. That second test belongs in the calculator, with your chip selected.
