Performance
Every card gets a gaming performance number on one scale, where the RTX 4060 is 100. A card at 150 is half again as fast as an RTX 4060 (1.5×); a card at 50 is half as fast. Card pages say it in words; the table below and the open data use the numbers.
The number is the average frame rate across many games, with no ray tracing, upscaling or frame generation. Each card has a score at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, because the gaps between fast cards open up as the resolution goes up. 1440p is the default; pick your monitor on Find a card. A card reviewers never tested at a resolution is carried over from its nearest tested one, scaled by how the cards it was tested beside move between the two, and marked with a *.
We build the index ourselves from 51 review charts by Expreview, Gamersky, Mydrivers, TechPowerUp, TechSpot, Tom's Hardware. Each chart is one outlet's average across its games for every card it tested at one resolution. A chart only tells us how its own cards compare, so we fit every chart at once: each card gets the one score that best agrees with every chart it appears in. Newer charts count more (a chart's weight halves every 2 years of age), because newer games are harder on older cards and those are the games people play.
A close variant (a Super, a refresh like the RX 6650 XT, a China-market version) is placed against the card it is based on, using only the charts that test both, so a refresh never lands below the card it refreshes. Before a score is final, any 1080p or 1440p chart number more than 12% away from what every other chart says about that card is set aside and listed below. At 4K we keep them: cards with 8 GB really do fall behind in newer games there. Each card page shows what every chart put it at on our scale. We don't republish any outlet's chart.
Value
Value is performance per $100 of the card's typical used asking price on eBay this week. An RTX 4060 scores 100 and its used listings typically ask $370 right now, so it works out to 27 per $100. The higher the number, the more performance each dollar buys.
Asking prices move every day, so value does too. Only cards with at least 5 used listings get a value number.
Use the data
The index is free to use, in your own site, app, video or spreadsheet, under CC BY 4.0. Just credit gear.casa with a link to this page. It updates with the asking prices every hour.

3D rendering
Cards bought for Blender, not games, rank differently, so cards also get a rendering score from Blender Open Data (Blender 4.5.0), the public-domain results people submit from their own machines: the median score per card on the backend most people use (OptiX for NVIDIA, HIP for AMD, oneAPI for Intel), RTX 4060 = 100. Cards with no HIP support (the RX 500 series) have no rendering score.
What it doesn't tell you
A few numbers can't cover everything. Games differ, VRAM matters more at higher settings and in newer games, and ray tracing and upscaling favor some cards over others. Check reviews for the games and apps you use.
