Top 10: These are the currently most popular graphics cards in Germany

The graphics card crisis is slowly ebbing away, but it is far from over. AMD and Nvidia are still unable to cope with the demand. Does this affect the current GPU top 10? We’ll tell you!

Top 10: The currently most popular graphics cards in Germany

Processor, mainboard, RAM, housing, power supply, SSDs/HDDs and last but not least the graphics card – the gaming PC is done. If you put your own computer together, you should make sure that all components harmonize well with each other and ideally do not slow each other down. In most cases, the largest part of the budget goes into the purchase of the right graphics card – and rightly so!

But which graphics cards are particularly popular with Germans? Are they cheap entry-level and mid-range models? Or are most PC gamers looking for high-end graphics cards? Our list gives you an idea!

Note: The following order is based on the skinny price comparison and is subject to change.

It starts with a powerful entry-level graphics card from the Radeon 6000 series, the Radeon RX 6500 XT Fighters with AMD FidelityFX to improve performance. This is available from various providers, as it is of no interest for mining, currently, among other things, from Kaufland for 314.59 euros.

After these and many other tickets have been sold out almost continuously over the last few months, they are finally back in stock – albeit mostly in small numbers. This is about the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Tia slightly slimmed down version of the RTX 3090.

However, the purchase is not cheap at all. A proud 1,937 euros are currently due for the Nvidia flagship among the graphics cards.
