FAQ

Frequently asked questions about how best-gpu.com works.

Prices

Where do the prices come from?

All prices are sourced directly from Amazon.com product listings. We show the listed price at the time of the last update — this is the price Amazon displays on the product page, not necessarily the lowest available from third-party sellers.

How often are prices updated?

Prices are updated automatically on a daily basis. The "Updated" date in the sidebar reflects the most recent price check. GPU prices can change frequently. Always check the current price on Amazon before purchasing.

Why do some prices show —?

A dash means the price was not available at the time of the last update. This typically happens when Amazon shows "See price in cart", when a listing is temporarily out of stock, or when the item is only available from third-party sellers at variable prices. The listing is still shown so you can click through and check the current price directly on Amazon.

Metrics

What does $/TFLOP mean?

$/TFLOP is the price divided by the GPU's FP32 (single-precision floating point) performance in teraflops. It tells you how much you're paying per unit of raw compute power — lower is better. It's the most useful metric for comparing value across different GPUs.

RTX 4080 @ $800 ÷ 97.0 TFLOPS = $8.25 / TFLOP

TFLOPS figures are the manufacturer's rated FP32 peak throughput. Real-world performance varies by workload.

What does $/GB VRAM mean?

$/GB VRAM is the price divided by the amount of video memory. It's useful if VRAM capacity is your primary concern — for example, when running large AI models or working with high-resolution textures. Lower is better.

RTX 3090 @ $600 ÷ 24 GB = $25.00 / GB VRAM

Why are $/TFLOP and $/GB VRAM blank for some listings?

Both metrics require a known price to calculate. If the price is unavailable (shown as —), these metrics cannot be computed and will also show —.

Filters

What does the Condition filter do?

Filters listings by condition as reported on Amazon. New means sold as new by Amazon or a seller. Used includes Amazon Renewed, refurbished, and used listings. Both are checked by default, showing all listings. Uncheck one to hide it.

How does the Price filter work?

The price checkboxes let you narrow results to a budget range. You can select multiple ranges — for example checking "$300–$500" and "$500–$800" together shows everything under $800. With nothing checked, all prices are shown.

How does the VRAM filter work?

Filters by the GPU's video memory capacity. The "20 GB+" bucket includes all cards with 20 GB or more. As with price, multiple options can be selected at once, and nothing checked means no filter is applied.

Affiliate links

Are the product links affiliate links?

Yes. All links to Amazon products include our Amazon Associates affiliate tag. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is how the site is funded — there are no ads, no sponsored placements, and no payments from manufacturers to appear in results. Every listing is included purely based on availability on Amazon.

Does using your affiliate link affect the price I pay?

No. The price you pay on Amazon is exactly the same whether you arrive via our link or navigate to Amazon directly.
