BEFORE you upgrade your graphics card… (Simple GPU Guide)

Nvidia’s RTX graphics cards are among the fastest and most capable GPUs you can buy for gaming or accelerating professional workloads. If your PC doesn’t have a graphics card (or is particularly old) and you want to play the latest games at higher resolutions and framerates, upgrading to an RTX graphics card will make a big difference.

Nvidia’s RTX graphics cards aren’t the only options worth considering, though. The specific GPU you upgrade to is almost more important than the brand you choose.

RTX is distinct from the older (and now retired) GTX branding, which used to be Nvidia’s main graphics card line. However, Nvidia has stopped using “GTX” since the GTX 16-series, which debuted in 2019. These days, all of Nvidia’s new graphics cards carry the RTX branding.
