Best Graphics Cards In 2019 – Comprehensive GPU Buyer’s Guide and Reviews

Our main focus on this website is 144Hz monitors, although we cover all monitors out there that are interesting to us as well. However, in order to take full advantage of a 144Hz refresh rate, you will need a GPU capable of delivering 144 FPS (Frames Per Second) or above. If you are playing a very demanding game, it may be difficult to reach the desired 144FPS and you may want to upgrade your graphics card or lower the settings to take advantage of your monitor.

The 14 Best Graphics Cards For 2019

A detailed sheet of graphics card specifications and tons of reviews are great without a doubt, but it will surely cost you a lot of time and stress to look through a bunch of computer graphics cards. We have done the paperwork and collected a list of the best Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, split into several different categories. You simply look at the categories and choose the one that fits your situation best, and then select a GPU accordingly.

In categories where GPUs support AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-SYNC, we try to include one GPU from each manufacturer that are very much alike and support the respective technology. So if you already have a FreeSync monitor, you choose the AMD card and the NVIDIA card if you have a G-SYNC monitor. Choosing one technology over the other pretty much locks you to that GPU vendor until you purchase a new monitor and it’s not like you are going to replace your monitor every year. On average, a monitor is replaced every 4-5 years.
