GRAPHIES CARD (GPU)

 

Post 4: Graphics Card (GPU)

The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is specialized in processing graphics, images, and videos. It is essential for gaming, video editing, 3D animation, and even artificial intelligence.

 Main features:

  • VRAM (Video RAM): exclusive memory on the graphics card. More VRAM allows handling heavier graphics (e.g., 8 GB VRAM on an RTX 3060).

  • Clock speed: determines how fast the GPU processes data.

  • Ray Tracing: technology that simulates realistic light in video games.

  • CUDA Cores / Stream Processors: parallel processing units that boost graphical performance.


Real-life example:

If you try to play GTA V on a computer with integrated graphics, it may only run at 20 FPS. With a dedicated GPU like the NVIDIA RTX 3060, the same game can reach 100 FPS in high quality.

Tip:

  • For office work: integrated graphics are enough.

  • For gaming: at least a GTX 1650 or RTX 3050.

  • For video editing: GPUs with 8 GB of VRAM or more.
