What to Expect from a $350 GPU
The $350 bracket is where 1080p gaming truly shines in terms of value. These cards deliver Ultra settings performance with headroom for 1440p on less demanding titles. It is the ideal range for a no-compromise 1080p or entry-level 1440p build.
At $350, the best cards can often sustain 100+ FPS at 1080p Ultra or hit playable 60+ FPS at 1440p High. The FPS-per-dollar in this range is often the best across the entire market.

How We Rank GPUs
Benchmark methodology
All FPS figures are averages across 21 modern games at 1920 × 1080 Ultra preset, measured on a standardized testbench (AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, DDR5-6000, NVMe SSD) to eliminate CPU bottlenecking.
FPS per Dollar metric
We divide average FPS by the current street price (updated daily). A higher number means more gaming performance per dollar spent. Check the full ranking and filter to explore other resolutions on the GPU ranking page.
