Deciding which Graphics Card (GPU) to use in your PC is a crucial choice.
Your graphics card is central to your PC’s capabilities and what games you’ll be able to run.
With a good GPU, you’ll be able to play games at a high FPS and clean visuals, but with a poor GPU, your experience will suffer.
Therefore if money weren’t an issue for purchasing a GPU, I would buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090.
Referred to as a “Big Ferocious GPU (BFGPU)” on the Nvidia GeForce products page, the RTX 3090 represents everything you could want in a graphics card.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 is a top-of-the-line GPU.
The RTX 3090 focuses on ray tracing with enhanced Ray Tracing (RT) Cores, Tensor Cores and new streaming multi-processors.
When combined with 24GB of G6X memory, the GPU can run just about anything at the highest possible settings.
The focus on ray tracing is particularly noteworthy as many newer games use the resource-taxing feature to significantly enhance their visuals.
As a result, many of the older graphics cards don’t support ray tracing and those that do don’t offer the same level of performance as the RTX 3090.
Perhaps one of the most significant drawbacks of the RTX 3090 is the cards sheer size.
The RTX 3090 is about as long as a PlayStation 2, which could necessitate the purchase of a larger PC case.
The RTX 3090 GPU is a very large graphics card.
A small price to pay for such computing power.
What isn’t a small price, though, is the card’s retail cost. Starting at around R50,000, the RTX 3090 is among the most expensive GPUs on the market at the moment.
So if money weren’t a factor, I would pick the RTX 3090, but for most gamers, it’s exorbitantly priced.
Then I’d need to find a case, motherboard and CPU capable of running this BFGPU in my price range – a more challenging task by far.
