12 min read5 products evaluated
World of Tanks runs well on mid-range cards at 1440p. Every pick has 8GB+ and sits between $250 and $500.
Rankings weigh GPU, VRAM and memory as the makers state them; if a maker skips boost clock, the guide says so rather than guess, since we have not benched them.

The Arc B570 is the B580's cheaper sibling with 10GB of memory on a 160-bit bus.
Best for
- Buyers who put video memory first.
Skip if
- Look at the other picks if you need a feature not covered above.
Why we like it
It was the least expensive card here at the time of writing and still offers three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Its 10GB video memory is the largest here; the ASRock RX 9060 XT Challenger 8GB comes next at 8GB. You get an arc B570 gpu here, which sets it apart from the ASUS Dual 7600 EVO and its an RX 7600 gpu.
It is the only pick here with a 2600MHz boost clock; the ASRock RX 9060 XT Challenger 8GB has a 3290MHz boost clock instead. It also comes with 0dB fan stop. No dimensions are published for the Arc B570 Challenger; get length and thickness from the maker's page first.
Power for the Arc B570 Challenger comes through 1 x 8-pin. No other pick here cost less at our last price check, and the ASRock RX 9060 XT Challenger 8GB was closest.
