The MSRPs

Using the average frame rate data presented earlier in the review, here we look at the cost per frame using the USD ($) MSRP launch prices for each GPU.

Using our data to calculate cost per frame, we can see that the B580 comes in at the top of the chart, delivering value that is clearly better than what either AMD or Nvidia can muster for this market segment. Versus the RX 7600 for instance, it represents a 19% improvement to cost per frame at 1080p, while that increases to 23% when compared against the RTX 4060.

At 1440p, it fares even better, now delivering cost per frame that's 25% lower than the RX 7600, and 28% better than the RTX 4060.

Current retail pricing

Things do change slightly when looking at the data based on current retail pricing, rather than MSRP figures. Even then however, the B580 is still clearly better value than its competition, with a 21% improvement to cost per frame versus the RTX 4060 at 1080p, and that increases to 25% at 1440p.
