GPUs

The current generation from all three vendors is on the shelves and shipping. I build with whatever fits your budget, resolution target, and the games or software you actually run. Pricing changes week to week, so everything here is a starting point. Message me for a current quote.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series

Blackwell architecture. Strong ray tracing, DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, and the best feature set for creative work, AI workloads, and streaming.

• RTX 5060 / 5060 Ti — solid 1080p and entry 1440p

• RTX 5070 / 5070 Ti — 1440p high refresh, entry 4K

• RTX 5080 — 4K gaming, content creation

• RTX 5090 — flagship, 4K high refresh and heavy compute

AMD Radeon RX 9000 series

RDNA 4. Big generational jump in ray tracing versus the 7000 series, FSR 4 with machine-learning upscaling, and strong raster performance per dollar.

• RX 9060 / 9060 XT — 1080p and 1440p value picks

• RX 9070 / 9070 XT — 1440p high refresh, competitive 4K

• Higher tier cards as availability allows

Intel Arc B-series (Battlemage)

• Arc B580 and B570 — budget 1080p and light 1440p, strong price-to-performance for build-on-a-budget rigs

Which one is right for you

Short version:

• Pure gaming on a budget — AMD or Intel

• Gaming plus streaming, video editing, or AI work — NVIDIA

• 4K high refresh or VR — RTX 5080, RTX 5090, or RX 9070 XT

• Replacing an older card in an existing system — tell me the PSU wattage and case size and I'll tell you what actually fits

Pricing

GPU prices move constantly with supply, tariffs, and demand. Rather than post numbers that go stale the next week, I'll pull current pricing when you ask and quote you a real total that includes the card and any related parts you need (PSU upgrade, new case, thermal work, etc.).
