Best GPU for The Finals

At the top of our selection is the RTX 4080, the recommendation for enjoying the game at its best unlocks the full potential of the game. It brings the Ada architecture to a great new power without being in the top spot.

It offers up a great performance across the board, as it even can achieve over 100FPS average in benchmarks in a 13-game average. It will be more than adequate for The Finals even if you are playing in UHD. It will also let you enjoy the ray tracing in the game and the great lighting it provides.

As the top choice, it will certainly last you quite some time as well, with the hardware behind it so new and future-proof. It also is a choice to be used across the board even when you’re not in The Finals. Especially with access to DLSS 3 through the frame generation tech inside of it.

The ASUS ROG Strix is the model we opted for as it gives one of the best performances out of the lot. As an overclocked model as well that boosts what it can achieve compared to the other base models. With so much cooling capacity on it too, that won’t falter under heavy usage.

For the second selection in our range, we go for the RX 7800 XT. After taking some time to release and fill in the RDNA 3 gap, it offers up a great 1440p framerate for it. Although even in some games you can get a 4K experience.

It also tops graphs in benchmarks for what it can achieve. With smashing results at 1080p averaging near 150FPS across 15 games, with 1440p getting close to 108, and 4K just above 60. That gives you a good range and a good opportunity for The Finals and beyond.

As for the ray tracing, well AMD Radeon cards do fall behind what Nvidia has to offer. Although it isn’t as efficient a choice for it, they can still achieve it, which means you might have to tune the settings a bit more, but it could still be a good choice for the budget.

The XFX choice gives you a good value option for the 7800 XT. With a great cooling solution, including a ridged backplate, its ability does provide a good solution and choice of GPU.

As for the budget and third choice, we have the RTX 3060 Ti. A great value GPU of the previous generation, it has a lot to offer. Considering it now has been surpassed, it can be found for even cheaper, with sales to be found it does mean it can be found for an even better price.

The GPU is also focused on 1440p and has excellent 1080p performance. Part of the RTX family too, it has plenty of efficiency and power behind it even if it is a lower model. This gives you a good choice for The Finals as it comes close to the recommended RTX suggestion.

As part of the Ampere family, it has a lot to offer and a popular range of cards. MSI does not disappoint with the model it provides. Although it might be a bit overkill with 3 fans, it does give you a good cooling solution to keep your card from throttling.

Do I need a good GPU for The Finals?

Not necessarily, as the requirements for the base performance are nothing too egregious. It’s nothing like compared to the Cities Skylines 2 requirements that are very recent and rather high-end. The minimum options are cards that are multiple generations old and don’t necessarily require an upgrade straight away.

Unless you do want to take advantage of ray tracing, then you need hardware that supports it. That means an RTX GPU or an RX 6000 or higher AMD card.
