Advanced games come with 3D graphics, and you need to have a suitable graphics card for gaming if you want to get the most out of your in-game play. Laptop Outlet houses a vast collection of top-class NVIDIA GeForce, Strix GeForce and various other high-end GPUs, enabling you to play your favourite games without any lag.

GRAPHICS CARDS BUYING GUIDE

When it comes to buying a suitable graphics card to cater to one’s multimedia requirements, there are some factors that you must consider to get the best value for money. Although it often becomes a confusing task to decide what factors matter the most, However, you don’t need to worry. We have crafted a list of specifications that you should pay attention to while buying a graphics card to ultimately land on the best product.

GDDR RAM

When it comes to graphics cards for gaming PCs or laptops, GDDR RAM is one of the most significant factors. GDDR (Graphics Double Data Rate) RAM is a specialised memory for fast rendering on graphics cards. Your GPU RAM is different from your system RAM, which is used for non-graphics-related processing operations. GDDR is the primary graphics RAM that is used in most GPUs nowadays. The thumb rule to follow here is that the more GDDR RAM your GPU has, the more efficiently it can render the graphics.

RERERENCE VS NON-REFERENCE GRAPHICS CARDS

Laptop Outlet contains an enormous collection of versatile graphics cards, including reference and non-reference cards. Manufacturers like NVIDIA or AMD make the actual graphics cards for gaming PCs. After that, these cards are either directly sold to the consumer or to companies like MSI and ASUS, which make modifications to the cards and sell their own versions of them. The cards from the manufacturers are called reference cards, while any modifications make them non-reference. Usually, reference GPUs come with one cooling fan, while most non-reference GPUs feature two to three cooling fans. So, depending on your system cooling needs, you can opt for either of these graphics cards.

CLOCK SPEED

The graphics card's clock speed is vital for gamers as it is directly linked with the frame rates per second of your system display. Besides gamers, GPU clock speed is also critical for multimedia editors, whose editing work demands high clock speed. Graphics cards for gaming feature high clock speeds to deliver a smooth and screen-tearing-free experience. If you already own a graphics card, testing its performance is an experience worth having. We would recommend that you test your graphics card's capabilities through any of the various tools available on the internet. This is a crucial setup that will greatly help you understand your graphics card's full potential. After analysing the tool's results, you can upgrade your graphics card if you think that it is necessary.

THERMAL DESIGN POWER (TDP)

This information about the graphics card correlates with the cooling system. The thermal design power of a graphics card indicates the amount of heat produced by a GPU, which needs to be profligately released into the environment by the cooling system under any workload. In place of TDP, you can also find the terms ""Max power Draw"", ""Maximum Board Power"", or ""Power Envelope"". To get the value of TDP, you can use a wattmeter plugged into the power supply unit. You will have to measure the power in idle mode as well as in FurMark stability test mode. You can then calculate the value of TDP by subtracting the power value observed in FunMark test mode from the value noted in idle mode, and then the availed value should be further divided by the power supply's unity efficiency.

COMPATIBILITY

The most important thing that you need to consider while buying a graphics card for your PC or laptop is compatibility. If you own a powerful CPU, you can rely on a less powerful graphics card and still notice better performance. However, if your CPU is weaker, then you need to invest in a stronger graphics card to compensate. It is crucial to have a balanced system so that all the system components can work efficiently. You can browse Laptop Outlet to discover abundant graphics card options available for you as per your system compatibility.
