What to Look for in a Graphics Card Deal
When shopping for a graphics card, consider the following.
- What resolution, settings do you want to play at? A low-end budget graphics card can play games at 1080p in medium settings, but if you want to play at ultra settings, you'll need to get at least a mid-range card. As you move up the stack of cards, you can play at 2K resolution and higher settings or, with the priciest cards, 4K.
- How many fps do you consider smooth? Most people consider 30 fps the bare minimum for playability and 60 fps decent. However, if you want less lag for eSports gaming, you'll want to be able to go to over 100 fps at reasonable settings. See our GPU benchmark hierarchy to find out how each GPU fares.
- Do you have enough power? Make sure that you have enough capacity from your power supply to support the card. If you're not sure, use a tool such as Newegg's power supply calculator (opens in new tab) to see how much you need. If your power supply can't handle the card, either get a new PSU or a different card.
- Will it fit in your case? If you've got a small PC case, make sure you check the length of the card against the case's clearance numbers.
