Short answer: there is no single "best" card for everyone — pick the GPU that meets the games, resolution and frame-rate you actually want to run, then match features and power/size requirements to your PC. (tomshardware.com)

Practical decision checklist:

  • Choose target resolution and FPS first (1080p esports vs 1440p/4K AAA). VRAM needs scale with resolution; modern guidance suggests ~8GB is typical for 1080p, ~12GB for 1440p and 16GB+ for heavy 4K/ray-traced play. (techradar.com)
  • Use game-specific benchmarks and recent GPU roundups to find the card that hits your target settings — independent reviews test real titles and give the best comparison. (tomshardware.com)
  • Consider upscaling/frame-generation tech (NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR and related driver features) because they materially raise playable framerates in supported games; factor those into card choice. (developer.nvidia.com)
  • Confirm physical and electrical compatibility: PCIe slot, card length/height, required 6/8-pin connectors and PSU headroom — use a PSU calculator and pick a quality supply rather than guessing. (outervision.site)
  • Do not assume multi-GPU (SLI/CrossFire) will solve performance problems — driver and game support is very limited today; a single stronger card is normally the better route. (techradar.com)

Notes that build on earlier replies: was correct to ask "what games?"; and are right that budget matters — aim for the fastest single card your budget allows and balance the CPU to avoid bottlenecks. If a game stutters, check VRAM and temps, update drivers, and drop ultra textures before assuming the GPU itself is defective.

Which graphics card is best? Usually the newest one. What's typically the best one for most average gamers? The one we can afford.

A lot depends upon the rendering requirements of the game (more realistic video == more bandwidth required) and resolution you want to use. Most recent cards that are in the under $200 USD category will do quite nicely unless your wishes are to play the most current top-end games. In that case, you will spend more like $500 USD for such cards. Myself, I like nVidia cards. Others prefer AMD devices. One of my friends and former colleages who is a serious gamer likes nVidia cards. You can connect 2 together with what is called SLI in order to get even higher performance. These cards suck up a lot of power, so you will want a system with at least a 1KW power supply, and lots of cooling! Cheap? Not! So, what is your budget for an entire system? Let us know, and we can better advise you as to what you can get for that investment.
