Video Card Information

When you are configuring a computer, the question you should always ask is, 'What will I be using this computer for?' This question applies to the video card as much as any other part of the system. For many applications - like gaming, 3D design, and animation - video card selection is just as important for performance as picking the right CPU. If you simply need a stable and solid video card for 2D graphics and everyday tasks such as internet browsing and the Office suite then even our most basic models or onboard video (if available) will be sufficient.

When it comes to more intensive tasks, there are generally two types of video cards that you need to look at:

Mainstream / Gaming Cards - Examples include the NVIDIA GeForce line and the AMD Radeon line. Among individual users and creative professionals, these are the most common video card choices. These cards are excellent for normal 2D / 3D applications and content creation. Most current models will support at least three monitors, and while they all have cooling fans some are designed to be on the quieter side - especially when not working at full load.

Professional / 3D Design Cards - Examples include the NVIDIA RTX series and their older Quadro line. These cards are particularly useful in CAD, rendering, and related fields where their custom drivers, higher VRAM, and enhanced vendor support are major advantages. Professional-grade video cards are more expensive, but they are built specifically to meet the needs of professionals using programs like AutoCAD, Solidworks, 3DS Max, and similar industry-specific applications.
