Best GPUs for Ryzen 5 7500X3D

V-Cache on a six-core budget part, which is a more interesting idea than it first sounds. The cache is what makes X3D chips punch above their clocks in simulation and strategy games, and getting it at the bottom of the stack changes what a cheap AM5 build can do. Six cores does mean you feel it sooner in newer titles that spread work across more threads, so treat it as a 1440p chip rather than a 1080p esports monster.

Ranked below: 15 GPUs against the Ryzen 5 7500X3D at 1440p, balanced pairings first, then by bottleneck %.
