GPU value ranking, September 2026: ten models at Japanese retail prices

Among these ten models, the RX 9060 XT 8GB leads on average frames per second per yen. VRAM capacity and your target frame rate remain separate requirements. The RX 9070 leads the selected 16GB models at 1440p. This comparison uses September 19, 2026 Japanese prices and one common published test suite.

Who this guide is for and what to prepare

  • Buyers comparing graphics cards from Japanese retailers
  • Readers who want value calculated from observed retail prices

What you need

  • Choose your monitor resolution, games, quality settings and target frame rate.
  • Record the case, power supply, processor and motherboard models.

Scope, price date and ranking formula

Prices are the tax-inclusive amounts shown on Dospara product pages between 19:51 and 19:52 JST on September 19, 2026. For these ten GPU models, we selected listed products available to order and checked their product-page stock status. This is a defined retail sample; shipping, points, coupons and extra warranties are excluded. Since the first version (September 12, 2026) the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, RTX 5070, RX 9060 XT 16GB and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB fell in price; the other six were unchanged.

Performance comes from the Tom’s Hardware table, shown on the source page as last updated 24 June 2026 (UTC),: the geometric mean of 11 rasterized games on a Ryzen 7 9800X3D test system. It uses native rendering without upscaling or frame generation. The benchmark update and price check are different dates.

The score is average fps divided by price, multiplied by 10,000. Higher means more fps per ¥10,000. A GPU-level measurement represents the retail board, so small gaps do not establish meaningful advantages between factory overclocks or cooler designs. Electricity cost, noise, creative workloads and ray tracing are outside this score.

Prices were re-checked at 01:28-01:29 JST on 21 September 2026. None of the ten moved from the previous check at 19:52-19:53 JST on 19 September 2026, so the rankings below are unchanged. Availability did move: the product pages for the RTX 5060 8GB and the RX 9070 16GB both showed "out of stock" this time. The ranking is a calculation over prices and published frame rates, not a statement that a card can be ordered right now.

Because prices move and the formula does not, this site has a value recalculator. It keeps the performance figures listed here and applies the same formula to a tax-included price you have checked yourself. It runs in your browser, and this site fetches no price.

1080p value ranking: 1920×1080

Read price and performance together. Exclude a card if it cannot meet your game’s frame-rate or memory needs, even when its price efficiency is high. A suite average does not promise the same frame rate in a particular game.

1440p value ranking: 2560×1440

Some positions change at the higher resolution, and the delivered frame rates differ. With a 16GB requirement, the RX 9070 leads this table. Before choosing a cheaper 8GB board, check the intended game’s texture settings and behavior under memory pressure.

Buying decisions: VRAM requirements and price gaps

Set a spending limit, then retain the cards that satisfy the required performance and features. The highest numerical value score is not automatically the best product for every workload.

  1. Choose a few games and find tests at the resolution and quality you intend to use.
  2. Check demanding scenes, 1% lows and the test’s discussion of memory use.
  3. Recalculate with the same formula if you find a different store price.

Retail boards used for the prices

Boards using the same GPU can differ in VRAM, dimensions, power connectors and warranty. These are the product pages used in the calculation. They are ordinary retailer links; prices and stock may change.

Check compatibility and the complete upgrade cost

Before spending the whole budget on the GPU, check whether the power supply or case also needs replacement. Power-connector type and count, plus space to route the cable properly, require more than a card-length check.

  1. For Intel Arc B580, also check Intel’s supported platforms and Resizable BAR requirements, especially before upgrading an older PC.
  2. Check the exact board’s length, height, thickness and slot occupation, including clearance from front fans or a radiator.
  3. Check GPU and board-maker PSU requirements and the power supply’s supported cables. Do not reuse modular PSU cables from a different product.
  4. Check monitor outputs and display count, then compare the total cost of all required upgrades.
  5. Immediately before ordering, recheck the model, VRAM, total charge including shipping, stock and warranty.

Limitations and requirements

  • The performance measurements belong to the cited publication. FaultNote has not benchmarked these GPUs.
  • This ranking covers the ten listed models at the price-check time. Unexamined older cards, used products and other retailers’ offers may change the result.
  • Meet memory and application compatibility requirements before optimizing this price-efficiency score.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose 8GB for 1440p because it ranks first?

It depends on the workload. The table measures the ratio of a gaming average to price. Check texture quality and application memory requirements, then compare only 16GB cards if that is what you need.

Why does this differ from a launch-price ranking?

Changing the price denominator can change the ordering even when performance is unchanged. This article recalculates using the observed Japanese retail prices.
