There is no such thing as THE best graphics card. It also has to fit and be compatible with the rest of the system.

Which hardware, CPU, Mainboard, RAM, etc. do you use?

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

An excellent choice would be the Nvidia RTX 4070TI. Not the VERY fastest, but close and somewhat future proof considering the expected cost $$$$$ of the next generation or two.

 

Ken Seals - Nikon Z 9, Z 8, 14mm-800mm. Computer Win 11 Pro, I7-14700K, 64GB, RTX3070TI. Travel machine: 2021 MacBook Pro M1 MAX 64GB. All Adobe apps.

There is no such thing as a "best" GPU. Furthermore, it depends on what you are doing. If you are going to be using the AI features, maybe you want a high end GPU, if not you can save some money and get a less expensive one.

 

So, what do you think you will be using this GPU for?

I’ll be using it for LRC and Photoshop and don’t want it to be obsolete in a few years. Thanks

That's nice, but it doesn't really answer my question. (Nor can any of us say what LrC and PS will need 5 years from now)
