Last year, we already published the ranking of the best PC graphics cards for 2011 by performance, it's time to update the indicators and present you the updated lineup and rating of graphics cards in 2019. There were no fundamental differences in the composition of manufacturers either. The main struggle for the past several years has been unfolding between Radeon and GeForce, which are clearly not going to give each other a pedestal rating.
Compare the changes in the top ten of the top for 2011 and 2012. If a year earlier in the top ten there were 6 places for AMD and 4 for NVidia, then this time the gap widened: 7 Radeon video cards, against 3 GeForce.
Let's move on to the final table, so:
