How we test graphics cards at GamesRadar+

A white Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Super graphics card on woodgrain table.

At GamesRadar+, we test the latest graphics cards using a blend of robust practices and expertise to assess performance, efficiency, and value for money. Ensuring that GPUs provide the exact gaming PC experience they promise is crucial, and we take all setups and budgets into consideration when road-testing cards using the latest games and old favorites. 

When testing the best graphics card options out there, we use quantitative data and qualitative first-hand experience to determine whether a GPU is worth buying. Yes, it's easy to get caught up solely on benchmarks and whether a card can boost fps, and those are important qualities. However, taking a step back and assessing how factors like cooling, power consumption, and overall performance per buck affect the overall experience is vital, and ultimately paints a better picture of whether our reviewed GPUs are a good fit for your build.
