Hey guys! how's it going? so today's video it's all about GPUs that you can buy for
under three hundred dollars in 2020 you don't need to blow a grand on a high end
GPU just to get good gaming performance and good graphics performance in fact
now it's the best time to buy a budget GPU this is because there are some
excellent choices in the market right now and why is that it's largely because
you know if you remember the cryptocurrency mining craze that craze
is gone and as a result the GPU prices they have largely come down so in this
video I will share my pick of the best GPUs that you can buy regardless of your
budget all the GPUs that I am recommending in this video I will link
all those GPUs in the video description below so if you guys are on a tight
budget then Radeon rx 570 delivers the best value for bucks
you can get this GPU for under $130 which is a steal in my opinion this is a
great budget GPU for playing 1080p games in high detailed setting it comes with 4
gig of gddr5 video ram which helps not only with gaming but also with video
editing so compared to nvidia gtx 1060 which sells for about $170 and it only
comes with three gig of video ram RX 570 is a far better deal so in the 3dmark
firestrike graphics core RX 570 outperforms gtx 960 by almost 10%
it's called 13354 points as opposed to 12177 points is code by 1060 so a radeon
RX 570 this is the GPU of choice for anyone on a tight budget now if you can
spare extra thirty dollars I would recommend going with rx 580 it comes
with eight gig of gddr5 Ram which is more than enough not only for 1080p
gaming at Ultra setting but also for 4k video editing using software's like the
Vinci resolve or Adobe Premiere in 3dmark firestrike graphics score rx 580
scores 14800 60 points making it at about eleven point three percent faster
than rx 570 and 22 percent faster than GTX 1060 if you plan to buy either RX
570 or rx 580 make sure that your PSU can supply
adequate power so rx 570 it needs at least 450 watt power supply while rx 580
it needs 500 watts of power supply so I have put links to both these GPUs along
with compatible PS use in the video description below
okay now let's talk about sub $300 GPU category so in this price range
the clear winner is Radeon rx 5600 X T so MD announced this card recently it
was CES 2020 and it is currently selling for about $280 this card is built on
seven nanometer process technology and it uses AMD's Navi 10 architecture it
comes with 6 gig of GTD our 6 video RAM and it's on 192 memory bus this means
our X 5600 XT it has about 30% more memory bandwidth then our X 5,500 XT MD
is targeting mainstream gamers by delivering best-in-class 1080p
performance with this GPU it clobbers both nvidia gtx 1660 TI and 1660 super
cards in all gaming benchmarks so for example here is the benchmark result
from the shadow of the Tomb Raider played at 1080p resolution with quality
setting to the highest and rx 5600 XT not only bests GTX 1660 series cards it
also performs neck to neck with our TX 2060 which is actually a $320 card by
using the Navi 10 architecture AMD has ensured that this card will also be able
to handle gaming at 1440p which is basically 2k resolution now NVIDIA is
obviously not sitting still so they are responding by dropping the price of our
TX 2060 but in my opinion AMD is still the better deal so I have put links to
both rx 5600 XT and RT X 2060 in the video description below you can check
out the current prices because the prices are fluctuating AMD and NVIDIA
both are not fighting to get you know attention of the customer but before
making a GPU purchase there are a few important things that you should know
first and the most important thing is to identify a GPU that works best with the
CPU that you have in your PC right now so the CPU and the GPU they need to work
together in tandem so you need to find the right balance
for example there is no point in buying an ultra expensive you know RTX 20 80 TI
card if your desktop is running on an intel core i3 processor and this is
because you know a slow processor will not be able to keep up with the ultra
fast GPU it will result in a mediocre overall performance and you will end up
wasting your hard-earned dollars now if you are building a brand new system then
you know based on your budget you should always pick a right combination of CPU
and GPU so don't go crazy picking an expensive
GPU while skimping on the CPU and also you know don't go the other way around
which is like buy an expensive CPU and then pair it with a very bad GPU both
those you know cases are going to hurt you
second thing to look for when buying a GPU is the video RAM commonly known as
VRAM VRAM is different from system Ram because it is exclusively used by the
GPU for accelerating graphics performance to play a 1080p game on
higher setting you need at least three to four gig of VRAM anything lower than
three gig it's going to result in dropped frames and choppy performance if
you want to max out textures anti-aliasing foliage and shadows then I
recommend picking a GPU with at least 6 gig of video RAM now you don't need to
go higher than 6 kick unless you plan to do you know stuff like 4k video editing
or advanced color grading but if you are planning to run video editing software's
like da Vinci resolve or Adobe Premiere then you know go with 8 gig of video RAM
because that will future-proof your purchase okay so the third consideration
when you are buying a GPU is the thermal profile so you always have a choice of
going with a low profile GPU or you don't get a larger GPU the low profile
GPUs they usually come with a small heatsink which are not very efficient so
as a result you run the risk of overheating your gaming PC you know
during prolonged gaming sessions and on the other hand the GPUs you know the
ones which are bigger they come with big aluminum heatsink they have copper heat
pipes they have multiple fans and they are very efficient in you know keeping
your card cool they are able to maintain healthy temperatures even when over
which results in top graphics performance but they are also loud and
may interfere with your gaming session so before you buy a GPU my
recommendation is always open up your PC case and ensure that there is enough
room for a bigger card and if there is enough room for a bigger card then go
with the bigger card and also make sure that there is enough airflow and proper
heat dissipation in the case okay now the fourth thing that you should
consider when you are buying a GPU is the power supply so remember different
graphics cards they will have different TDP and their power consumption is going
to vary a lot so you before you buy a GPU make sure
that the PSU in your desktop it can deliver the required wattage if you
don't have enough juice in your power supply either your system is not going
to boot at all when you put a new GPU or worse is still it will boot but then you
will start experiencing the random crashes so for example take my desktop
PC it's a Dell XPS 89 30 workstation and it comes with a power supply the Dell
power supply it's 450 Watts so if I put a gtx 28 ET i in the system it's it's
going to be an absolute disaster because this GPU it expects 650 watt power
supply and if i put it in my desktop i will either get random crashes or my
sister is not going to boot at all so always check you know before you buy
you a GPU always check the TDP of all components in your PC including the GPU
to make sure that the power supply can provide required wattage otherwise
probably you will have to go and upgrade the PSU as well okay fifth and the final
thing which you should consider before buying a GPU is the power pin connector
compatibility so always make sure that your power supply has the right power
connector compatibility with the GPU so for example you know a GPU with 6 pin
port will use a 6 pin power connector these days almost all budget power
supplies they come with a 6 pin power connector so take the example of rx 5600
XT the card which I just recommended it's you know linked in the description
below that card needs 1 6 pin and one 8 pin PCI Express connector to power it so
if you are planning to buy that card you will have to make sure that your PSU has
a 6 pin and a 8 pin power cable so that's it for today guys I hope you
