Our index measures regular gaming, not ray tracing. Ray tracing results can differ between brands more than the index suggests, so check a game's own benchmarks if you plan to turn it on.
AMD Radeon desktop graphics cards with their own memory, ranked by performance index. The index is our own estimate of gaming performance, so it is a guide to which part is faster and not a benchmark result. Prices are launch prices in US dollars, not today's shelf prices. The methodology page explains how the index is built.
