Using the average frame rate data presented on the previous page, here we look at the cost per frame using the UK MSRP launch prices for each GPU.

Cost per frame isn't a particularly useful metric at the minute given GPU prices are all over the place, and significantly higher than the given MSRPs, so consider these charts for ‘academic' purpose only. Nvidia's MSRP for the RTX 3060 is £299, while Gigabyte has told us this Gaming OC model has an MSRP of £429.99, which is obviously much higher. We've therefore included two data points for the GPU, to give you an idea of what sort of cost per frame we'd be looking at if GPUs were actually in stock.
