About best-gpu.com

An independent tool for GPU price-to-performance comparison.

What this site does

best-gpu.com tracks 483+ graphics cards listed on Amazon US, updated daily. Every GPU in the table has a calculated Value Score — a price-to-performance metric that combines real-world gaming benchmark data (3DMark TimeSpy) with raw compute throughput (FP32 TFLOPS). The goal is a single number that answers: how much performance are you getting per dollar?

The GPU Upgrade Calculator extends this by letting you enter your current GPU and instantly see which upgrades offer the best performance gain per dollar spent above what you already have.

Who built it

best-gpu.com was built and is maintained by an independent developer. There is no team, no investors, and no relationship with any GPU manufacturer or retailer. The site exists because comparing GPUs across generations and brands by raw specs is genuinely hard — and existing tools either bury the value math or don't use live prices.

How the data pipeline works

Prices are collected daily via a custom Chrome extension that scrapes Amazon search results and product pages. The extension matches GPU listings using title patterns (RTX, RX, Arc, Quadro, etc.), filters out non-GPU products (cables, brackets, laptop GPUs), and deduplicates by ASIN — Amazon's unique product identifier.

Each scrape run ingests prices into a MySQL database. Only price changes are logged to the price history table; unchanged prices are skipped to keep the history clean. Listings not seen within 7 days are marked unavailable and removed from the default view.

Performance data (TFLOPS, TimeSpy scores, VRAM) is sourced from manufacturer specifications and third-party benchmark databases, curated manually in a lookup table. The Value Score and Performance Index are recomputed on every page load based on the current price.

Affiliate disclosure

All product links are Amazon Associates affiliate links. If you purchase a GPU after clicking a link on this site, we may earn a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. This commission funds the site's hosting and development costs.

The affiliate relationship has no influence on rankings, which GPUs are included, or how Value Scores are calculated. No GPU manufacturer or retailer pays to appear in results or to be ranked higher. Every listing is ranked purely by its calculated Value Score based on live Amazon prices and published performance data.
