Best 1440p GPUs Under $500
Looking for the sweet spot in price/performance? We've analyzed the best GPUs for high-refresh 1440p gaming.
The $500 mark is the most competitive segment in the GPU market. Currently, the RX 7800 XT and the RTX 4070 (on sale) dominate this space. Our testing shows that the RX 7800 XT offers superior raw rasterization performance, while the RTX 4070 takes the lead in ray tracing and efficiency thanks to DLSS 3.5. If you're building a purely gaming rig, the AMD card is hard to beat for the price.
