Frequently Asked Questions

Is £300 enough for a good gaming GPU in 2026?

Yes — £300 reliably buys a card capable of smooth 1080p gaming at high settings in most titles, and playable 1440p in less demanding games. It's the most competitive price tier for esports-focused builds.

Should I buy new or consider a refurbished card at this price point?

A reputable UK retailer's refurbished or open-box listing (with warranty) can sometimes beat a new card a tier below in Value Score — just check the return policy and warranty length before buying, since cover varies a lot between sellers.

How often does this list update?

The picks above reflect current in-stock UK retailer prices, refreshed regularly — the ranking can shift day to day as prices and inventory change.
