With GPU prices coming down for some GPUs, going up for others, and the recent launch of the RX 7700XT and RX 7800XT shaking up pricing, it can be a confusing GPU market. You should not look based on MSRP, but instead look at which GPU offers the best performance at the actual price it sits at in the current market.
