5 best GPUs for MultiVersus

MultiVersus is a free-to-play game where you can battle some of the most iconic characters from comic books, including DC Comics, Cartoon Network, Looney Tunes, and more. The game went on early access earlier and became quite popular. Releasing on May 28, 2024, the game will be available for everyone to play. But the game won't run well on most integrated GPUs and may cause stutter unless it's an AMD APU.

Dedicated GPUs are always better and also allow you to play other popular games. This article discusses the best GPUs you need to play MultiVersus smoothly in 2024.

Price: $167

The RTX 3050 6GB is a cheaper cut-down variant of the regular RTX 3050, which crosses the $200 mark. However, this GPU is currently available at just $167, making it a great alternative. The RTX 3050 6GB is the cheapest RTX GPU and supports many RTX technologies like DLSS upscaling, ray tracing, and ray reconstruction.

Specifications	Details
Shader Cores	2304
RT cores	18
TMUs	72
ROPs	32
Base clock	1042 MHz
Boost clock	1470 MHz
VRAM size	6 GB GDDR6
VRAM bus width	96-bit
VRAM bandwidth	168 GB/s
Manufacturing nodes	8nm
Thermal design power	70W

It can run MultiVersus at 2K resolution with higher graphical settings easily. The TDP of the GPU is 70W, which makes it possible to run this GPU without requiring eight or six-pin power connectors from the PSU.

Pros

It can play MultiVersus at 2K resolution with high graphics.
It has support for ray tracing.
It supports RTX technologies like DLSS upscaling and ray reconstruction.
It can used without needing any PSU connectors.

Cons

Since there is no external power, overclocking for enhanced performance is practically impossible.

3) Intel Arc A580

Price: $159.99

The Intel Arc A580 is a surprisingly powerful GPU in this list. This GPU is even more powerful than the RTX 3050 6GB while costing less than that. However, you don't get access to the RTX technologies with this GPU. It has its own version of upscaling called XESS, which is quite good but not as good as RTX GPUs.

Specifications	Details
Shader Cores	3072
RT cores	24
TMUs	192
ROPs	96
Base clock	1700 MHz
Boost clock	2000 MHz
VRAM size	8 GB
VRAM bus width	256-bit
VRAM bandwidth	512 GB/s
Manufacturing nodes	6nm
Thermal design power	175W

It supports ray tracing, therefore you can play ray-tracing-only games like the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on this GPU. The GPU can run the MultiVersus game at the highest graphics settings with plenty of juice left for other tasks. It also has an 8GB VRAM like the AMD RX 6600 but is available for cheaper. Games like Spider-Man Miles Morales run well on this card.

Pros

It is a powerful GPU that can effortlessly run many demanding games at 1080p.
Its performance in MultiVersus is awesome.
It has 8GB of VRAM, which will be better in the long run.
Its ray tracing performance is respectable.

Cons

Its clock speeds are lower out of the box, which hurts its performance in some games.

4) Nvidia GTX 1650

Price: $139.99

The Nvidia GTX 1650 is the cheapest Nvidia GPU that is still available for purchase. It can comfortably play MultiVersus at high settings, and can also play popular competitive games with low to medium graphical settings. However, this GPU is quite a bit older at this point, but those who need a CUDA GPU for cheap will love it.

Specifications	Details
Shader Cores	896
RT cores	No RT support
TMUs	56
ROPs	32
Base clock	1485 MHz
Boost clock	1665 MHz
VRAM size	4 GB GDDR5
VRAM bus width	128-bit
VRAM bandwidth	128 GB/s
Manufacturing nodes	12nm
Thermal design power	75W

It is the only GPU on this list that doesn't support any form of ray tracing or upscaling since such technologies didn't exist back then. It has 4GB VRAM, the lowest VRAM size on this list, which won't be good for the long run. This GPU can only be recommended for those who need an Nvidia GPU specifically.

Pros

It can run MultiVersus decently well at high graphics.
It can run competitive shooters decently, at least at lower settings.
It can run CUDA applications.

Cons

It doesn't have a lot of technologies needed to run modern games.

5) Intel Arc A380

Price: $109.99

The Intel Arc A380 is better than the Nvidia GTX 1650 and would have been an easy recommendation, but Intel drivers aren't as stable as Nvidia's. The driver is the only thing that puts it behind the Nvidia GPU. But the performance of the GPU is definitely better, and it can easily run MultiVersus.

Specifications	Details
Shader Cores	1024
RT cores	8
TMUs	64
ROPs	32
Base clock	2000 MHz
Boost clock	2050 MHz
VRAM size	6 GB
VRAM bus width	96-bit
VRAM bandwidth	186 GB/s
Manufacturing nodes	6nm
Thermal design power	75W

The GPU supports ray tracing, but the ray tracing performance is not that strong, and it can only run some light ray-traced effects without dropping too many FPS. The GPU doesn't need external power and is also available in low-profile slots, making it perfect for SFF PC builds.

Pros

The GPU can run MultiVersus at 1080p.
It is the cheapest GPU to support ray tracing.
It still has 6GB VRAM at this price point.
It supports XESS upscaling technology as well.

Cons

Intel's drivers are still not as stable as Nvidia and AMD.

There are the best GPUs to play MultiVersus. Each GPU on this list brings something unique to the table and has support for unique technologies. So, choose a GPU that best supports your needs and budget.
