The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I believe many people are considering upgrading their computers or assembling new ones. NVIDIA and AMD have also launched new generation graphics cards, and prices have returned to normal. Friends who want to buy new graphics cards will definitely want to know which ones have higher CP values and are more worth buying. Recently in a foreign forum, a reader was very attentive. He compiled the current market prices and performance benchmarks of various graphics cards, and then converted the performance per euro. In the end, if you don’t use ray tracing, AMD Radeon 6700XT has the best CP value, regardless of 2K or 4K image quality. I will summarize it for everyone below.
Current graphics card CP value rankings: Foreign readers compiled the current market price and performance, excluding light-chasing AMD. This one is the best.
Recently in the German Computerbase forum, a Maine shared a statistical report on the CP value of graphics cards he compiled. The current market price is the German price (no matter which graphics card is the cheapest, so), so there must be a difference with Taiwan or other countries, but in terms of performance per dollar, it should be similar, so it is worth reference.
In addition, his tests mainly focus on 2K and 4K game image quality, so if you are looking for an entry-level graphics card, this list has little reference value. He shares the following six statistics. DLSS and FSR/FSR 2 technologies are excluded because they are very harmful to the games you play:
- Rasterization (WQHD, 1440p)
- Ray tracing (WQHD, 1440p)
- Rasterization (4K)
- Ray tracing (4K)
- Cyberpunk 2007（WQHD、1440p）
- Cyberpunk 2007（4K）
The first is rasterization (WQHD, 1440p). Without ray tracing, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT has the highest CP value in 2K quality, followed by NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and AMD Radeon 6800, and then AMD Radeon 6800 XT. The CP values of these three pictures are actually quite close:
In the rasterization (4K) part, the RX 6700 XT also has the highest CP value. Surprisingly, the next two are also AMD graphics cards (6800 / 6800XT), and the RTX 3060 Ti retreats to fourth place. So overall, if you don’t know how to turn on light chasing when playing games, then the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is a good choice:
The ray tracing performance of NVIDIA graphics cards is really good. The first is 2K image quality. The one with the highest CP value is RTX 3060 Ti. The next two are also NVIDIA graphics cards (4070 Ti / 3070). For AMD, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is the most cost-effective:
The ranking of 4K ray tracing has changed somewhat. The graphics card with the highest CP value has become the RTX 4070 Ti, followed by the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090. AMD’s RX 6900 XT and RX 6700 XT perform similarly:
For those who are buying a new graphics card to play the Cyberpunk 2077 game, the next two pictures are most worthy of reference. Among 2K image quality, the one with the highest CP value is the RTX 3060 Ti:
The 4K image quality is RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080, but RTX 3060 Ti becomes the last one:
For more detailed instructions, you can click here to jump to Computerbase Reading (German), if you want to be more precise, you can also compare the price gap in Taiwan to see if it is very close to the one compiled by this netizen.
