![]() When it comes to desktop setups, your choice of GPU is vast. Not only because of the large number of models and options available, but also because there’s a vibrant second-hand market. High-end gamers will upgrade regularly, and so you can often find last-gen models cheaper online. #NVIDIA GRAPHICS CARDS COMPARISON 2017 FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS UPGRADE# While last year’s GPU might not cut it playing the latest Modern Warfare in 4K, you might find it’s ideal for your illustration, video or animation needs. ![]() For example, Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (released in 2017) is a powerhouse of a card and available for less than £400 if you shop around. While it’s not the best idea to scrimp on budget, by the same token you don’t necessarily need to buy most expensive GPU you can find, either. ![]() Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is a powerhouse of a card (Image credit: Nvidia) Similarly, why pay top dollar for one of Nvidia’s RTX GPUs if none of your apps support raytracing? It’s tempting to splurge on a sexy new card with lots VRAM – but unless you’re handling huge CAD files or doing 3D rendering, any more than 8GB is probably overkill. One key question is: are your programmes GPU-accelerated? If your apps employ OpenCL, they’ll work with cards from both Nvidia and AMD, but if they’re CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) accelerated, you’ll need an Nvidia card.Īdditional GPUs provide more power in certain workflows, but with a typical setup – outside of intensive video work or 3D rendering – a single powerful GPU is often enough you can add more but you probably won’t see enough benefit to justify the cost. ![]() #NVIDIA GRAPHICS CARDS COMPARISON 2017 FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS UPGRADE#. ![]()
