Methodology note: Tiers are curated by Indie Kings using published GamersNexus MegaCharts benchmark data (GamersNexus MegaCharts) as a reference point. Street prices are Sept 2026 US street prices compiled from the Indie Kings GPU crisis post. Prices move fast during the RAM and VRAM shortage — verify before you buy. Ratings are 1 to 5 for raster plus upscaling value at each resolution, where 5 is best in class.
Tier key: 1 = Flagship / halo, 2 = High-end, 3 = Upper mid-range, 4 = Mid-range, 5 = Budget / entry 1080p, 6 = Bottom tier.

Resolution:
| GPU | Brand | Tier | 1080p | 1440p | 4K | VRAM | TBP | Street $ | Buy |
|---|
Tip: pick your resolution tab to re-sort by that resolution rating. Then set max budget and min VRAM to narrow the list. 12GB or more is safer for 1440p and 4K in 2026.
