Best GPU Under ¥60000 (2026) — Japan

$500 is the most popular price point for a reason: it's comfortably enough for 1440p gaming at high settings across most modern titles, with enough performance headroom to handle a game or two above their recommended specs.

The default recommendation for 1440p gaming at high settings, and a strong 1080p choice for anyone chasing very high refresh rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is $500 the best value tier for GPUs right now?

It's typically the most contested tier — several manufacturers compete hard here, which tends to produce strong Value Scores. Check the live ranking above rather than assuming any one card holds the title for long.

Can a $500 GPU handle ray tracing?

Entry-to-mid ray tracing effects are usually playable at 1080p/1440p with upscaling (DLSS/FSR) enabled; full path tracing at native resolution generally needs a higher tier.

Should I wait for a sale instead of buying now?

If the top pick's current price is below its typical 12-month price (see its GPU detail page for the price-history verdict), it's usually not worth waiting.
