Hello friends, today I will share some tips which will help you in choosing a graphic card for your computer. A graphic card is a device which is used for display purposes and every type of computer has a internal graphic card which helps in display of the output. However, these internal graphic cards are of very basic model and they are suitable for normal purposes only, but if you are a gamer or do some work related to design and animation, then you will require an external graphic card which is also sometimes called dedicated graphic card. These graphic cards are used for high performance output.
Nowadays, various types of graphic card are available at different price range, for example the cost of Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 is around 15000 rupees and the cost of Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 TI is around 78000 rupees so there is a huge difference between these two models and choosing the right one depends on you. So here are some tips which will help you to choose best graphic card from the available ones -
1) Check your PC - First thing you need to do before buying a graphic card is to check your PC. Different types of PC’s have different types of slots. If you are using a old PC then it might have a AGP card slot which means that you can only fit a AGP type of graphic card in it. If you are using a PC which is not very old, then your PC might have a PCI slot. PCI slots are very common nowadays so look for a suitable graphic card. Also check the power input of your PC because different graphic cards have different power requirements.
2) Clock Speed And Memory - Like computer processors, graphic cards also have some clock speed which is measured in MHz and all external graphic cards have some dedicated memory. High clock speed and dedicated memory
means that you can run heavy graphic games and animation software very easily but they are more costly also.
3) Purpose - If you are a casual gamer then you can buy a lower range graphic card as they can run almost all light games very easily. For casual gaming you can buy any graphic card in the range of 2000 to 5000 rupees. But if you are a hardcore gamera or in the field of animation, then you might need high end graphic cards having higher clock speed and dedicated memory.
4) Decide your budget - As I said earlier that different types of graphic cards are available in different price range so it is very important to decide your budget. For hardcore gaming and animation you can invest around 10, 000 to 20, 000 rupees in a graphic card based upon your game requirements and if you want to run any game without lagging issue. You can also look for graphic cards below this range, as they can also run heavy games but the gaming experience might be not so good in that case. If you are a casual gamer, then you can invest around 2000 to 3000 rupees to meet your requirements.
I hope that you will find these tips helpful while choosing the best graphic card for yourself. Thanks for reading this article.
