Best GPU Under €800 (2026) — Ireland
At €800 you're paying for consistency: high framerates at 1440p even in demanding titles, and a genuinely playable (if not maxed-out) 4K experience with upscaling enabled.
Best for high-refresh 1440p gaming (165Hz+) and as an entry point for 4K gaming with DLSS/FSR upscaling.

Is €800 enough for 4K gaming?
With upscaling (DLSS/FSR) enabled and settings tuned, yes for most titles. Native 4K at max settings in the most demanding games usually needs the €1000+ tier.
What's the difference between this tier and €600?
The jump from €600 to €800 typically buys meaningfully higher average framerates and better ray-tracing headroom, rather than a new resolution tier outright.
Is more VRAM worth paying extra for at this tier?
Generally yes if two cards have similar performance — 12GB+ VRAM protects against stutter in texture-heavy titles as game requirements grow.
