Best & Worst Graphics Cards April 2025: Top Picks & Budget Entry-Level GPU Buying Guide
Hey gamers, it’s your tech buddy Xingxing here! April has arrived with a bang, and I’m kicking off the month with the hottest Red and Black List for graphics cards – your ultimate buying guide [doge][doge].
For Team Green fans, Nvidia has rolled out almost all their new GPUs this month except the 5060 and 5060 Ti. The 5070 Ti and 5070 are absolute game-changers with killer performance, while the 5080 just got sweeter with a price cut. But hold your horses – the 40-series cards are still stubbornly overpriced, especially that pesky 4060.
AMD lovers, rejoice! The 9070 XT and 9070 are pure gaming monsters that demolish Nvidia’s offerings in value. Though fair warning – the 7800 XT’s price has crept up, so maybe hold off for a potential drop. On the budget front, the 7650 GRE and B580 shine as the only sub-2,000 yuan cards actually worth your hard-earned cash right now [cry][cry][cry].
That wraps up this month’s must-know GPU insights! Personally, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see how the 5060 series performs – here’s hoping they’ll be kind to our wallet-conscious gaming community [sneaky]. Catch you next month with more electrifying updates!

Absolutely, I understand your concern about the price versus performance! In terms of long-term power consumption, the 5070 Ti is fairly efficient, but it does draw more power than some competitors at full load.

Glad you found the breakdown helpful! The RTX 5070 Ti offers about 35-40% better performance than the 4070, which makes it a solid upgrade if you’re chasing higher frames or ray tracing. Personally, I’d say it’s worth it if you play at 1440p or 4K—otherwise, your 4070 still holds up well. Thanks for the kind words, and happy gaming!
