benchmarksutra GPU Score: how we rate graphics cards
Summary

How benchmarksutra rates graphics cards: five ratings from maker specs and store prices, six buyer profiles, no invented frame rates.

Quick Verdict

The benchmarksutra GPU Score rates 213 graphics cards sold by MD Computers, Computech and Vedant. It uses only maker specifications and real store prices. We do not invent frame rates, and we never use another site's results.

Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores come from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel specifications and the prices at our partner stores, checked 12 November 2026. We did not run games or measure frame rates. How the GPU Score works.

The five ratings

  • Paper performance (0–100). √(FP32 TFLOPS × memory bandwidth in GB/s), both from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel, on a log scale: 15 scores 0, 250 scores 100. Compute and memory both limit games, so we use both.

  • Video memory. A step table: 8 GB = 45, 12 GB = 66, 16 GB = 82, 24 GB = 92, 32 GB = 97, 48 GB = 100.

  • Features. 75% upscaler generation (DLSS 4 or FSR 4 = 100, DLSS 3 = 80, XeSS = 70, DLSS 2 = 60, older FSR = 50) and 25% hardware AV1 encode.

  • Efficiency. Paper performance per watt of the maker's board power.

  • Value. We fit a line through every gaming card's paper performance against its cheapest price (log–log). A card on the line scores 50; cards above it score more.

Six buyer profiles

Each profile spreads 100 points across the five ratings. Lists also filter: 1080p needs 8 GB and a ₹80,000 cap; 1440p needs 12 GB; 4K needs 16 GB and high paper performance; the AI/creator list needs 12 GB and AV1 encode.

Price vs score

Graphics card price in India vs benchmarksutra GPU Score

What the score does not measure

  • Frame rates in specific games. Two cards with the same paper performance can differ by 10–20% in a given game.

  • Ray-tracing strength. NVIDIA is generally stronger here, and the score does not reward it.

  • AMD dual-issue. AMD quotes RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 peak FP32 with dual-issue, so Radeon cards can look stronger on paper than they play.

  • Cooler quality, noise, coil whine and factory overclocks. Boards of the same chip share chip-level ratings and differ only on price.

  • Driver and software support, including CUDA for AI tools.

Where the data comes from

  • Chip specifications: nvidia.com, amd.com and intel.com product and comparison pages. For older NVIDIA cards, bandwidth is computed from NVIDIA's stated memory speed and bus width.

  • Board details (length, connectors, recommended PSU): each board maker's product page. Where we could not confirm a figure on the maker's page, we leave it out and link the page.

  • Prices and stock: the live product pages of MD Computers, Computech and Vedant on 12 November 2026. We use the cheapest in-stock price. We recheck links every week.

External GPU enclosure (AORUS AI BOX), not a desktop graphics card.

GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI Box

Store lists it as GIGABYTE, but we found no GIGABYTE product page for it, so the maker is unconfirmed.

3

GIGABYTE Arc A380 6GB, GIGABYTE Intel Arc A310 Windforce 4G Gddr6, GIGABYTE Intel Arc A380 Gaming OC 6G 6GB Gddr6

No official chip specification for this memory variant.

9 more cards are scored but never picked: they have no maker product page (Nextron, plus unbranded listings), or they are sold as bulk OEM packs whose warranty we could not confirm.
