methodology
Methodology
Updated daily

Requirement bar: hand-estimated

Each software has a minimum VRAM and 3DMark Time Spy score per tier, estimated from published benchmark and settings guides. GPUs below the bar aren't shown; approximate by design, not a guarantee.

Ranking among qualifiers

GPUs that clear the bar are ranked by our standard Value Score (performance relative to price), same metric used across the site.
