Graphics card is an essential part of a Gaming PC. They are costlier than the Motherboard and has variety of uses starting from photo and video editing to playing high end, high graphics games.
The Seven major aspects you should know before buying a graphics card are listed below.
1) Core Clock Speed :
Core Clock is the place where the Graphic card store temporary memory, called the cache memory. If cache memory speed is high, it can retrieve this information faster and hence will increase its speed.
2) Memory Bandwidth :
Rate at which data can be read or stored in onboard memory.
3) Pixel Rate :
Number of pixels a Graphic card can render to the screen every second.
4) Texture Rate :
Speed at which a Graphic card can perform texture mapping.
5) Floating Point Performance :
How fast the GPU can crunch numbers.
6) Shading Units :
Subcomponents of the GPU, these run in parallel to eneble fast pixel shading.
7) Texture Mapping Units :
Built into each GPU, these resize and rotate bitmaps for texturing scenes.
