unsai critical specs sa video card ang angay/dapat bantayan/i.consider

[vanz_paltog]

---

pwede mka.hatag mu ug tips kung unsai unahon ug consider...

example.

1st.gpu clock
2nd.memory interface
3rd.video memory..
4th.cooling system..

sample rah nah ha

[lloyd_joy]

for me, given na ang cooling system sa design sa GPU... if stock speed lang, usually, reference design ra ang gamiton or, naa'y gamay na improvement but basically, the performance is almost the same lang... if OC ang variant, kani, mas better ang cooling system sa GPU kay taas naman ang core clock frequency as well as the memory clock frequency... ang uban OC variants na designed to be further OC'ed by its owners kay naa ni sila'y improved VRM circuit and usually, at a premium cost...

if mag pili ka'g GPU, the higher its factory setting, the better... higher frequency on the clock and memory... granting, the same GPU chip ang imohang choices...

for the bus width, depende ni sya sa class sa GPU... for the current tech GPUs... entry level has 128 bit (i'll not mention the 64 bit bus na lang ha); mid level usually has 192 bit & 256 bit... while the high end ones have 256 bit & 384 bit... right now, wla pa'y new technology on DDR5 na naka 512 bus width on a single bus lane. sa mga naka dual GPU like the GTX 690 and HD 7990. ang ilang bus width kay 2 x 256 bit and 2 x 384 bit respectively... ang old technology ra ang naa'y 512 bit bus width but they are on DDR3. on the current technology, the higher the bus width, the better is its performance... this statement is true only on the offering from the same GPU company. but for the competing company, it doesn't follow... the bigger the bus width doesn't mean, the faster is the GPU if we will compare the same class or the same target market that the big 2 GPU companies currently offers...

kun mag pili ka'g GPU then maka zeroed-in naka sa GPU model... again, pili-a ang higher factory OC presets... on the core clock and mem clock frequencies...

ang pinaka critical specs.. IMO.. is the PRICE. heheh.

salamat boss @lloyd_joy

If you are looking sa performance difference between video cards, It's better nga i consider nimo first ang gpu architecture.

If same gpu architecture kay momatter jud ang difference sa:

1. number of stream/shader processors
2. number of backend ROPS
3. pixel and texture fillrate
4. memory type, memory bus width, memory capacity(makita ang difference sa hi-res monitors)
5. gpu clock
6. memory clock

If different gpu architecture kay different story:
1. Some of the specs above if more siya does not always mean nga mas better.
2. Ing ani nga case kay refer to online benches jud.

Consider sa asa nga gpu category imo plano

Mainstream

HD77xx/GTX 650 Ti/650 non-Ti

Midrange

HD78xx/650 Ti Boost/GTX 660/660 Ti

High-end

HD7950/70, GTX 670/680/770/760

Enthusiast

GTX 780/Titan/690/7990


Choosing your category you need to consider the resolution you'll be playing at. TBH dili na ko gatan-aw ug specs. Mao nay pulos sa mga prof. tech reviews. They give you an idea how playable a card is at a given resolution and how a card performs on stock cooling etc. Basa pud ug user reviews ana nga card. Naay mga factors nga di maka cover up sa tech review nga sa user reviews ra nimo makita.

[Archfear]

1. Choose between Nvidia and Radeon (Personal preference matters for your happiness)

2. Determine the games that you will play. (Have at least 5 games as preference)

3. Search for the cards that can play those games and how the frame rates handle at different settings and on your monitor's maximum resolution.

4. If you have determined it already, opt for the card that is a step higher than the capable card you have researched, reviewed and chosen for future proofing.

Do not be confused with Bus widths, clock speeds, etc as they have different results in benchmarks depending on the hardware they used and probably way different than yours. Just remember this:

If you are a budget gamer but want a fast GPU = 128-bit, gDDR3 but choose those with higher clock speed and transistor count
If you are tight on budget but want a faster GPU than those standard issues = 128-bit, gDDR5
If you have sufficient budget and want a GPU you can be proud of showing off = 256-bit, gDDR5

If you have extra space in your pocket for your hands to wiggle, buy those PUMPED versions like OC, AMPED, SUPERCLOCKED, MEGAHERTZ, ICEQX as they are better than the official released counterparts...

If you are not restricted by any budget and the heir of Lucio Tan = Buy those special release cards that comes every so often in a while as they have 256 to 384-bit with multipliers if dual... (TITAN, MARS II, MALTA) Buy them, and give me one if you think I helped you out.. Hehehe..

Remember.... always choose the ones with higher transistor count!

@lloyd_joy - Kuyawa jud mu tambag aning boss lloyd completo jud. . . hehehe!
@AcidSuicide - Sakto jud. . . mao nay pinaka kailangan hunahuna-on kai bsi palit tah GPU high end then gutom for 1month. . .hehehe!
@Sempron Guy - Sakto jud. . . pili.e asa nga category mu sakar imu budget. . .

Thanks,

unsa d.i nang GPU architecture brad? unsa diay na ang raster opearator? sorry ha daghan question newbie lang hehe

refer n lng ane boss kung naglibog ka unsa imu paliton na video card..
