What do you think of the video card? What are the main parameters of the graphics card?

Graphics card is the key to determine the performance of a computer game hardware, the importance of even as much as the CPU. So, when choosing a video card, how do you look at the performance of the graphics card? Generally speaking, we can get a comprehensive understanding through the graphics card parameters. Below, small make up to talk about graphics card parameters knowledge literacy, teach you how to pass the graphics card parameters, to determine the good or bad card, refused to cheat.

In the purchase of video card, in the graphics card parameters, the basic can see the display chip, memory capacity, graphics card bit width, core frequency, video memory frequency and several other important parameters, these parameters constitute the key to determine the performance of the core parameters, the following we simply to understand.

　　1. Display chip

The display chip is the core chip of the graphics card, its performance directly determines the performance of the graphics card, at present, computer graphics card chip factory, only Nvidia and AMD two, other brand graphics cards are using the two card chip, its main task is to process the system input video information and its construction, rendering and so on. Display the main chip performance directly determines the performance of the display card high and low.

Different display chip, whether from the internal structure or its performance, there are differences, and the price difference is also very large.

Ps. The general graphics ladder diagram, are based on the graphics card display chip to rank performance, so look at the graphics card performance, memory chip is the most important.

　　2. Memory capacity

Memory capacity is the number of local memory on the video card, which is one of the key parameters to select the video card. The size of the memory capacity determines the ability to temporarily store data memory, to some extent, will also affect the performance of the graphics card. Video memory capacity is increasing with the development of the graphics card, and there is an increasing trend. Memory capacity from the early 512KB, 1MB, 2MB and other minimum capacity, developed to the present 2GB, 3GB, 4GB.

It is worth noting that the larger memory capacity does not necessarily mean that the higher the performance of the graphics card, because the three elements to determine the performance of the graphics card is its use of the display chip, followed by the video memory bandwidth (this depends on the memory bit width and memory frequency), the last is the memory capacity.

A video card should be equipped with how much memory capacity is appropriate by its use of the display chip determined, that is to say, the video memory capacity should match the performance of the display core, which is reasonable, the higher the performance of the chip because of the higher processing capacity of the video memory capacity corresponding should also be larger, And the low performance of the display chip with a large capacity of video memory for its performance is not any help.

　　3. Core frequency

The core frequency of the video card is the operating frequency of the display core, its working frequency can reflect the performance of the display core to a certain extent, but the performance of the graphics card is decided by the core frequency, video memory, pixel pipeline, pixel filling rate and so on, so in the case of displaying the core different, A high core frequency does not represent a strong performance for this video card.

　　4. Video Memory Frequency

Memory frequency refers to the frequency, in MHz (megahertz), that the display is working on the video card by default. Video memory frequency to a certain extent reflects the speed of the video memory. Memory frequency and Memory clock cycle is related to the reciprocal relationship between the two, that is, video memory frequency =1/Memory clock cycle.

　　5. Memory Type

Memory type In fact, there is nothing to say now, the mainstream graphics card memory types are GDR5, some old graphics cards or entry-level junk video cards, may also be equipped with the oldest GDR3, for this kind of graphics can be ignored, the performance of the slag.

Ps. Some entry-level notebook video cards may still be GDR3, which is a little bit of a note. Anyway, desktop computer graphics card, GDR3 memory type is the slag performance.

　　6. Video Memory bit width

Video memory bit wide, generally the larger the better, like highways, the wider the road, can pass the vehicle and speed can be faster, so the memory bit width is also a key factor in determining the performance of graphics cards.

At present, desktop computer mainstream graphics card bit width generally reached 128bit, a good number of graphics cards, reached 256bit, or even 512bit. And some entry-level graphics card or entry-level notebook video card, the bit width may still be 64bit, so if you see the graphics card parameters in the memory bit width or 64bit, that basic also need not look, performance is not good where to go.

In addition to see the graphics card, but also pay attention to the interface, General HDMI, DVI and other High-definition interface is now the mainstream of the standard graphics, in addition to some older VGA, DP, dvi-i interface, etc., general interface rich some better, especially not less than HDMI or DVI, such as the current mainstream high-definition interface.

Graphics card Parameters Knowledge literacy, I believe you read this article, the graphics card parameters of the understanding will have a further understanding, especially for computer enthusiasts novice friends, this article can play a good role in literacy. At the end of the article, attach the public version of the graphics card and non-public version of the graphics card contrast.

　　The difference between public and non-public version of the video card

In the purchase of graphics cards, many friends must have seen or heard of the public version of the graphics card or the public version of the graphics card, the public version of the graphics card and the Non-public version of the graphics card what is the difference, what are their advantages and disadvantages? The following computer Pepsi Network Small series also briefly introduced.

Pros and cons of public and non-public graphics cards

　　Public version Graphics card

The public version refers to Nvidia or ATI at the beginning of the new release, the original design (or authorized design) of the PCB version, and designated OEM manufacturer's graphics card. The biggest role of the public version of the graphics card in addition to the rapid spread of goods occupy the market, there are strict control of the graphics card quality, maintain market prices, establish the role of brand image. The common feature of the public version of the graphics card is luxurious materials, high cost and expensive price.

Advantages: Strong, even can say luxurious materials, bring unparalleled stability, excellent electrical performance, as well as the use of luxury materials brought about by the powerful overclocking capacity, occupy the motherboard slots (up to two slots), and the speed of the listing.

Disadvantages: Expensive (the consequences of luxury materials ...), not personalized, single function, some products mute can, but the heat dissipation is not flattering, some products default frequency is not enough to play the core of all performance.

　　Non-public version graphics card

In addition to the public version, the other manufacturers of their own design is not public version of the PCB. Compared to the public version of the graphics card, in the PCB design, the material made a big change, some non-public version of the graphics card is the product of cost compromise, and some is to strengthen the public version of the video card is insufficient places, such as heat dissipation, product features, interface design, and so on, non-public version of the cartoon often have their own unique.

Advantages: Most cheaper than the public version, the default high-frequency, good heat dissipation, product selection, you can find suitable for their products, heat dissipation, beautiful appearance.

Disadvantages: Not enough public version of the good (except for the actual Super public version), can not be on the common integrated water-cooled head, some high-end graphics work or design than the lower end of the graphics card worse.

Through the comparison is not difficult to see, the public version of the graphics card and the public version of the graphics card each with a bright spot, in the choice of time, mainly based on price, workmanship, brand and other aspects of consideration, pay attention to the price, the general choice of brand is not public version of the video card is
