Best GPUs for Intel Core i5-13400
Raptor Lake branding on a design that is largely the generation before it, which sounds like a criticism and mostly is not. What you get is a cool, cheap, six-core gaming CPU with integrated graphics for when something goes wrong. What you do not get is much of a step over the 12400F, so pick on price rather than on the number in the name.
Ranked below: 15 GPUs against the Intel Core i5-13400 at 1440p, balanced pairings first, then by bottleneck %.
