Nvidia graphics cards have always been popular. According to the results of their testing in games, it is clear that they often outperform their competitors from the manufacturer AMD, but at the same time they are more expensive. But which video cards of this brand are the best? From the rating of Nvidia video cards you will find out. The review is in descending order of performance.
1st place - Asus GeForce GTX 1080
The average cost of this chip is 52,000 rubles. The characteristics of this video card vary slightly depending on the manufacturer. The best developer who created the product based on this card is Asus. He created one of the most successful video cards in design with the new Pascal architecture with VR technology. As stated in Nvidia, it surpasses the cards of the previous generation. This to some extent allows us to justify such a high cost and put the model in first place in the ranking of Nvidia video cards.
Pros :
- Highest performance that can be increased by overclocking the chip to higher operating frequencies.
- It works quietly under moderate loads.
- In the next 5 years, you won’t have to think about replacing the video card.
Cons :
- High price.
- Noise at peak performance. However, there is nothing surprising in this, since the fan has to remove a huge amount of heat during peak loads of the GPU. Hence the strong noises.
Note that this is one of the first chips made according to the 16-nm process technology, which runs on the new Pascal architecture. Its maximum clock frequency is 1733 MHz, which even the most powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X video card did not previously reach.
2nd place - GeForce GTX 1060
The second place in the ranking of Nvidia GeForce video cards is occupied by the GTX 1060. And again, the manufacturer Asus was able to implement the best cooling system. Note that there are GTX 1060 and other manufacturers, but the most successful option on the market is from Asus. The company managed to disperse an already powerful chip.
This solution is intended for those users who need high performance, but who simply did not have enough money for the GTX 1080. The cost of the GTX 1060 averages 35,000 rubles.
Judging by the reviews, this video card is easily overclocked and does not heat up much during a heavy load. Its maximum temperature under load varies in the range of 75-80 degrees. Of course, it is expensive, and the cost exceeds the allowable budget of many gamers. It also makes quite a lot of noise, does not support VGA (you will have to use an adapter), it has large dimensions. Unlike the previous video card in the rating, this one has a memory bus frequency of 192 bits.
3rd place - MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X
Bright and beautiful model GTX 1070 manufacturer MSI takes 3rd place in the ranking of the best Nvidia graphics cards. Its price is an average of 55,000 rubles. And this is even more than for the model in the first place.
The 256-bit chip with the Pascal GPU is made using the 16-nm process technology and its frequency is 1607 MHz. If necessary, the frequency can be raised to 1797 MHz, and this is an amazing result. This means that in any games, this video card will give out 60 FPS even at the highest graphics settings. A feature of the model is a smart cooling system, which turns off if the chip temperature does not exceed 60 degrees. Also, a large factory overclock can be called an advantage.
4th place - MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING X
Of all the manufacturers, it was MSI who was able to create the best card based on the GTX 1050 chip. This video card took fourth place in this rating of Nvidia video cards for a reason. Compared to the models above, it is cheap (costs only 14-15 thousand rubles), but inferior in terms of performance and performance.
Characteristics
- Bus width: 128 bit;
- Memory frequency: 7000 MHz;
- Core frequency: 1354 MHz with acceleration to 1468 MHz;
- Good cooling system TWIN FROZR VI.
One of the first advantages is the quiet operation of the card. If it is not loaded to the maximum, then it will work quite quietly. Particularly pleasing is weak heating, even under heavy loads. When testing the model on the Far Cry 4 game, its fans did not even spin.
The disadvantage of the model is the memory bus frequency - 128 bits. This parameter allows you to doubt its gaming purpose, since usually game boards have a higher bus frequency. But this model is definitely worthy of the fourth place in the rating of Nvidia video cards.
5th place - GeForce GTX Titan X
The review completes this review with the GeForce GTX Titan X, whose average price is 62,000 rubles. This is also a fairly powerful solution for gaming systems with a memory bus width of 384 bits.
Characteristics
- GPY frequency: 1000 MHz with acceleration to 1075 MHz;
- Effective memory frequency: 7000 MHz;
- The card has 12288 MB of memory, which is its unique feature.
Of course, one should expect extremely high performance from it, but given the high price, the model is not very popular in the market. Most often there is no need to use such an expensive solution. To run any modern games at maximum settings, there are enough solutions that are in 1-3 places of this performance rating of Nvidia video cards.
Finally
Video cards manufacturer Nvidia have always been distinguished by high cost and high performance. Therefore, when choosing this component, it is also advisable to pay attention to AMD models.
I must say that the rating of Nvidia graphics cards for laptops looks different. After all, mobile chips are very different from ordinary ones. Therefore, you do not need to project this rating into the category of laptops.
