How to get the highest performance
A graphics card is the most important component for demanding applications such as gaming, video editing, 3D modeling, and artificial intelligence. A powerful graphics card will run these applications far faster and with much higher visual quality, which is essential for gamers, creators, students, and power users.
For gamers, running at a high frame rate (“FPS”), provides a much smoother experience and provides a competitive advantage in multiplayer games. Playing new games with realistic graphics or at higher resolutions, requires more graphics processing power. Choosing a more powerful graphics card for your computer will ensure a great experience, not only today but also for years to come.
