Compare graphics cards

Pick two graphics cards to see their specifications side by side, or scroll down for the full list. These are stated figures rather than measured results, and there is no performance score, because we hold no benchmark data to base one on.

Every chip we hold

One row per chip rather than per card. We hold every partner version — eighty-six RTX 4070s, seventy-five RTX 3060 Tis — and within a chip the figures below are the same on all of them, so listing the cards would mean scrolling past dozens of identical lines to reach the next chip. The Cards column says how many versions share each one.

Sort by any column, or search by name.

Reading the columns

Memory. Capacity in gigabytes. When a game needs more than the card holds, the symptom is stutter as data is swapped across the bus rather than a lower steady frame rate, which is why an otherwise capable card can feel worse than a slower one with more memory.

Memory type and bus. Together these set bandwidth. A wider bus moves more per clock; a newer memory type clocks higher. Neither figure alone tells you the bandwidth, and cards are frequently compared on one while the other differs.

Power. The board power the manufacturer states. It matters for supply capacity and for the connectors the card expects, both of which the power supply calculator works through.

Cards. How many versions of that chip we hold. It is the one column that describes the group rather than the hardware: a chip with sixty entries is one partners built many designs around, which usually means it sold well.

What a row leaves out

A row names a chip, and the partners who build cards around it differ in cooler design, board length, noise and a few tens of megahertz of clock speed. Those differences are real and this table does not show them, because they belong to a card rather than to the chip every card shares.

Board length matters most of them, and it varies widely: thirty-four different lengths among the RTX 3060 Tis alone, from 172 mm to well past 300 mm. Check the specific card against your case rather than assuming the chip implies a size.

The PC Builder works with individual cards for exactly this reason, and checks the length of the one you pick against the case you pick.

Building around one of these? The PC Builder checks case clearance, power connectors and supply capacity against the rest of your selection.
