The G15Tools GPU Tier List is a hierarchical order of the Best Gaming GPUs sorted in a way that reflects the best value for graphics performance. The tier list is a combination of a PC gaming benchmark and a statistics graph. The benchmark runs a series of benchmarks with the most demanding graphics settings at 4K resolution and high settings. The graph shows a percentage of the graphics performance, with the most demanding tests on the top of the graph.
This is the last update of my GPU Tier List before the next big GPU launch is in December. I do not expect anything to change in the next months, but if anything changes I will update the list accordingly. Also note, the complete list can be found here.
The hierarchy of GPUs is very important to understanding the different categories of graphics cards. The tiers of the hierarchy represent the performance and price of the graphics cards. The middle tier of the hierarchy is called the mid tier and contains the cards that are close to the performance and price of the top tier of the hierarchy. The bottom tier of the hierarchy is very problematic for the reasons we will explain later.. Read more about graphics card comparison list and let us know what you think.
Choosing a good working GPU may be difficult, particularly when the choices are stacked against one other. There will be zillions of graphics cards available in 2021, from Nvidia to AMD, and the list goes on. The finest graphics cards are ones that can proudly stand out amongst their peers, providing you with 4k rendering and gameplay improvement.
It’s more difficult than ever to choose the right card at first glance these days. New cards with cutting-edge technology have ratcheted up the rivalry. It became clear when Nvidia launched their 20-series of RTX GPUs. Ray tracing technology is enabled by these RTX cards, offering you a photorealistic experience. The same can be said for AMD cards; although they don’t currently have RTX technology built in, their performance is on par with top-tier Nvidia cards. For what they have to offer, the GTX 1060 and RX 580 have a strong competition. However, the issue remains: which route should you take? Perhaps the hierarchy model can help you?
An inside look at the hierarchical structure
Before we get into the meat of the post, we’d like to point out that this list is only for you if you want to play games at a consistent FPS with a 144hz refresh rate. A gamer’s fantasy is to have a beast operating in his or her living room. The ranking is based on the number of frames per second (FPS) and performance charts.
The following list was put to the test on several setups, and the results were documented. We can guarantee you that the GPU tier list has been verified and corresponds to official data. So, without further ado, let’s have a look at the performance statistics!

The Gem GPUs are in Tier S (Platinum).
The platinum tier (S) is made up of the most powerful GPUs available. Surprisingly, Nvidia grabbed the top spot without allowing AMD to compete. Why? The CUDA cores and the newest RTX technologies are responsible for Nvidia’s supremacy. Nvidia, in particular, manufactures high-end and cutting-edge GPUs.
The platinum tier’s price tags are completely out of this planet. They are very costly cards that can only be purchased by billionaires (pun intended). Because of the features credit cards offer, the high price is justified. If you want a 4K gaming experience with a consistent refresh rate, these cards are perfect for you. Not to add the new RTX in Minecraft, which looks incredible. Through these beautiful gem cards, you may already experience it.
Regardless, the Titan series is one of the few that can give the system a threader effect. It has the ability to execute millions of processes at the same time. If you want to operate a lot of web servers, the Titan V is the way to go.
These cards have been reported to exceed the limits by 3%, giving you a gaming increase of approximately 103 percent, which is extraordinary and amazing. What about the rendering process? It’s incredible, and it only takes 3 minutes to render!

2) GeForce RTX 2080 Ti from Nvidia |
3) Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Supercomputer |
4) GeForce Titan V from Nvidia |
5) GeForce RTX 2080 from Nvidia |
6) Nvidia GeForce Titan XP graphics card |
Tier A (Extra-Extra-Extra-Extra-Extra-Extra-Extra
Because of the identical performance charts, Tier A GPUs maintain the same position as the “Platinum” tier. The only reason they aren’t in the top tier is due to a few FPS and price range changes. If you have the vision of building a monster rig, these cards are reasonably priced.
Surprisingly, in terms of 4K and 1440P gaming, Nvidia continues to dominate the second tier. The reason for this was, once again, the use of cutting-edge technology in these new RTX cards. We also saw AMD enter the picture at this point. Because to the fantastic gaming experience provided by RDNA technology, AMD Radeon VII and RX 5700 X took two places. In terms of rendering and gameplay, AMD Radeon VII was found to be competitive with RTX 2080. Although there were only small FPS reductions, it’s impressive that such a card can compete against Platinum cards.
Regardless, tier A suggested a 1.5 to 2% increase in the system’s overall performance. Tier A should be your first choice if you want to render 3D models and play in high-end gaming settings since they are still cheap and can be juiced at any temperature.
Tier B (High-Middle Range)-Extremely high performance.
Tier B cards are ones that can provide unrivaled performance and are readily available to enthusiasts. It’s a delicate balancing act between price and value. But there’s a snag. These GPUs can only provide a constant FPS 1080P gaming experience. Essentially, these cards were created to offer a gaming and rendering experience in Ultra-high-definition.
Although you can still play 4K games on a display with the appropriate refresh rate, you won’t get consistent frame rates. It’s as if you’re pushing the envelope and pushing the boundaries that aren’t intended for such cards. It’s incredible to watch AMD GPUs go up against competitor Nvidia cards. The AMD RX 5700 takes the top position, despite the fact that it is one of the high-end GPUs in this price category.
The explanation is simple: AMD intends to push modern technologies to RDNA2, which is capable of supporting almost everything, including Ray-trace technology. These AMD cards provide a positive push that is deserving of what is to come. Nvidia cards in this category are less expensive than AMD cards, but they’re worth a shot, particularly the RTX 2060, which lets you enjoy Ray-tracing in titles like Minecraft and Cyberpunk 2077.

4) GeForce RTX 2060 from Nvidia |
5) AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics card |
6) Nvidia GeForce 1070 Ti graphics card |
7) GeForce GTX 1660 Ti from Nvidia |
Tier C (Mid-Range)-Performance cards with no flaws.
Tier C is aimed at gamers in the middle of the market who can buy these GPUs at a fair price. These GPUs are known for delivering perfect 1080P gameplay. The greatest gaming performance comes from the GTX 1060 and AMD 580. They are both competitive and can be counted on to go on a gaming binge. The issue is that these GPUs don’t support 4K, thus you can’t play games at that resolution. It’s not that you won’t be able to play the games at 4K, but there will be a lot of stuttering and ricocheted temperatures.
Not to add, due of the performance offered by the Polaris architecture, AMD outperformed most Nvidia cards in this category. To be honest, OpenCL offers more opportunities for improved performance than the CUDA fan club. These graphics cards are your final option if you want a 1080P experience with correct synching characteristics for your non-standard display. My recommendation is to go with the AMD 580 from this tier!

6) AMD Radeon R9 390 graphics card |
7) GeForce GTX 1060 from Nvidia |
Budget gaming performance in Tier D (Mid-Low Range).
The last category is for individuals who like subpar gameplay with less-than-stellar visuals. If you’re on a limited budget, this tier will suffice. Although 1080P gaming and rendering are still feasible on these graphics cards, you won’t be able to push them to their maximum. Overclocking is a pain in the neck because if your CPU is new and your GPU is old, you may wind up with a CPU bottleneck.
So long as you don’t mind playing on medium settings, this tier is perfect for you. We recommend the GTX 980 since it competes with the 1050 and 1060 GPUs in terms of FPS and rendering capabilities. If you’re an AMD user, the AMD 570 or 560 are cheap GPUs that are ideal for you.

This is the last chapter!
The levels described above are not meant to belittle any aspiring gamer or professional editor. To ensure validity, the sequential sequence was compared to installations. In summary, tier S should be your ultimate objective for professional use and gaming if you have the money to support your dream beast. Similarly, if your budget allows, you may choose from Tier A, B, or C, depending on your needs. Tier D, on the other hand, is ideal if you’re on a limited budget but still want to obtain a good and discernible performance.
The tiers are also susceptible to change when new items with new technologies are released. We hope this information helped you find what you were looking for.
The GPU Tier List is something that is still being worked on, but I decided to start with a simple tier list that I feel will be the most accurate. The tier list is an order that is based on price and performance of graphics cards. It has been used by other sites and the general idea is that the lower the tier, the cheaper the card and the higher the tier, the more performance and higher the price. The other factors that go into the tier list include the quality of the card and whether or not the card has been tested and benchmarked..
