Graphics Card Specification

CommanderJiJi

Hello guys, i'm really confuse about picking the right graphics card and i'm not that knowledgeable about the computer components. So, what should I look on a graphics card, memory type, memory size, bus width, GPU clock, or memory clock?

look at gpu clock, memory size and type and also any info from the manufacturer(bad parts?) and also the cooling system i guess

also look at what features the card has (such as the 20 series's nvenc encoder) and see if you can take advantage of it

Ryzen 9 3900X overclocked to 4.3-4.4 GHz

Corsair H100i platinum

None of that: just benchmarks.

 

Look at how different videocards perform in what you do with your system (gaming, video editing, 3D modeling, etc.) and decide what to get from there.

Then, once you have decided what GPU to get, you can then decide what variant to get (what cooler variant). You decide that based on reviews too; to see which are the quietest for example.

Of course keep in mind the videocard should fit in your case too.

 

And remember that the RTX 3070 is going to release in a month, but expect it to sell it in seconds, plus AMD is going to announce some stuff too; so be sure to check if what you're buying now won't be succeeded soon.
