Best graphic cards for gaming 2020: Things to consider before buying

Toms Hardware gave some tips on what to consider when buying a graphics card. There is no single rule in choosing a GPU since people have different requirements for their cards: some have high regards on speed, others look for the best value while most are considering cost in searching for the best graphic cards for gaming.

• Video Memory: Although 4GB is currently the minimum, 8GB or higher is strongly recommended. For budget conscious, a 6GB card is better than 4GB.
• Resolution: Higher pixels require more performance, but 1080p gaming will not need a top-of-the-line GPU.
• FreeSyncorG-Sync? Whileboth variable refresh rate technologies have the same function of synchronizing your GPU's frame rate and the screen's refresh rate. However, AMD's FreeSync techcan work with Radeon cards while Nvidia supportsG-Sync Compatible and G-Syncdisplays.
• PSU: Make sure to have enough power supply juice as well as the right 6-pin, 8-pin connector, or both. For example, Nvidia suggests getting a 650-watt PSU for RTX 2070 Super, which requires two 6-pin and/or 8-pin PEG connectors.
• DLSS and Ray Tracing: DLSS allows anti-aliasing and intelligent upscaling to boost performance with the same image quality. Ray tracing, which enhances the visuals, is supported by latest graphics cards.
