Best GPU for AMD Ryzen 9 3900X in 2020
Depending on what you plan on using your new AMD Ryzen 9 3900X-powered PC for, we've rounded up some best graphics card recommendations to get the most out of your processor. Whether you need the PC for work or 4K gaming, we have you covered.
Choosing the right GPU
Why you can trust Windows Central
The right GPU comes down to the resolution you plan on gaming at. If it's 1080p or you won't be gaming that much and would like to save a little in the process, the GTX 1660 SUPER or RX 5500 XT are great options. Simply go with AMD if you have a FreeSync monitor or NVIDIA if it's G-Sync.
If you want to go all out and enjoy games with all the visual settings cranked up to the highest levels, you'll want the XFX AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT RAW II or EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra Gaming. Just like our more affordable options, you'll want to go with AMD for FreeSync panels and NVIDIA for G-Sync monitors. These two GPUs will let you game at 4K, though the 2080 Ti is vastly more expensive and powerful.
