Cards appear when GPU Drip has benchmark data for them and a recorded in-stock price between $150 and $300. Each price is the lowest in-stock offer recorded at a supported retailer, with the date it was checked; these are recorded observations, not live quotes. FPS figures are representative gaming averages, the same ones our comparison pages use, and price per frame divides the recorded price by the 1440p average.
