Best Graphics Cards
for 2022
کےبہترین گرافکس کارڈ 2022
We rated, reviewed, &
compared some of the best graphics cards for gaming across various budgets.
These top GPUs are perfect for gamers who are looking to max out their favorite
games.
There is no component that has a bigger
direct impact on your gaming experience than your video card will. And, if
you’re looking to build a gaming computer and you want to really take
your gaming experience to the next level, then you definitely need to make sure
you get yourself a high-end GPU.
A graphics card (or video card) basically acts like a second
processor. However, the video card is only responsible for processing
graphics-related tasks.
Therefore, having a
high-end video card not only helps your system by improving the quality of
visual effects that it can display, but also by relieving your main processor
of the responsibility of having to carry out graphics-related tasks. This gives
your computer a significant increase in performance in gaming over system’s
that rely on the integrated graphics on their performance.
Best
Graphics Cards Right Now
1. ASUS ROG
Strix OC RTX 3090 (Extreme)
2. MSI Gaming Z Trio RX 6900 XT (AMD)
3. ZOTAC Twin Edge RTX 3060 Ti (Value)
4. ZOTAC Twin Edge RTX 3050 (Budget)
1. ASUS ROG Strix OC RTX 3090
The best extreme graphics card
- 1890MHz
Clock Speed
- 24GB
GDDR6 VRAM
- Triple
Fan Cooling
- 318mm
Long
If money is no object to you and you have to have the absolute
best performance possible, then an RTX 3090 is what you’re looking
for. Be forewarned, though, with a price tag of over $3,000, an RTX 3090 costs
more right now than what it would have cost to build a complete high-end system
just a couple of years ago.
That’s the effect of the global chip shortage and massive
inflation.
If you’ve got the money for it, though, the RTX 3090 is a
monster of a graphics card and it will deliver extreme performance. So, whether
you’re looking to get a new 4K 144Hz monitor, or you’re a hardcore competitive
gamer that wants to maximize their framerate on a 360Hz display, the RTX 3090
will give you as much performance as you can handle.
And, of the RTX 3090s out there, we like the ASUS ROG Strix OC
edition for its advanced cooling configuration and its extreme factory
overclock.
All-in-all, the elevated price tag of the RTX 3090 won’t be for
everyone. But, if you’re budget allows for it, you won’t be disappointed.
2. MSI Gaming Z Trio RX 6900 XT
An extreme AMD graphics card
- 2425MHz
Clock Speed
- 16GB GDDR6 VRAM
- Triple
Fan Cooling
- 325mm
Long
If you’re an AMD fanboi through and through and you want the
best graphics card they have to offer, then an RX 6900 XT is what
you’re looking for.
Of the RX 6900 XTs out there, the MSI Gaming Z Trio strikes a
nice balance between how much it costs and the features it comes with. The
Gaming Z Trio comes with a boost clock of 2425MHz, 16GB of VRAM, and a triple
fan cooling array.
It also features RGB lighting and measures in at 325mm long.
The RX 6900 XT is an excellent option for gamers who have an
extreme budget and who are looking to hop into 4K gaming, or who want to run a 1440P
240Hz monitor with good results.
3. ZOTAC Twin Edge RTX 3060 Ti
The best value graphics card
- 1695MHz Clock Speed
- 8GB
GDDR6 VRAM
- Dual
Fan Cooling
- 221mm
Long
The RTX 3060 Ti is an excellent graphics card for
people who have a moderate budget and who want to be able to max-out games on a
1080P monitor. This card is more moderately priced when compared to the extreme
options listed above and it can also serve well for anyone looking to jump up
to 1440P gaming.
Like the option below, the ZOTAC Twin Edge stands out among
other RTX 3060 Tis due to its lower price tag. It does only feature a dual fan
cooling array (as opposed to a triple fan cooling array), but that shouldn’t
impact its performance too much in the grand scheme of things.
And, with GPU prices out of control right now, the lower cost of
the Twin Edge is somewhat helpful.
In the end, if you’re looking for a graphics card that will
easily allow you to max-out games at 1080P and also offer the ability to handle
games at 1440P (and 4K for non-demanding titles), then this RTX 3060 Ti is not
a bad option.
4. ZOTAC Twin Edge RTX 3050
The best budget graphics card
- 1807MHz Clock Speed
- 8GB
GDDR6 VRAM
- Dual
Fan Cooling
- 224mm Long
While no graphics cards are affordable right now, ZOTAC’s Twin
Edge lineup is consistently among the lowest-cost options in their given
GPU-category. The same is true for their RTX 3060 Ti (listed above) as with
their RTX 3050.
The RTX 3050 is currently selling for over $500 and will deliver
solid 1080P performance. The ZOTAC Twin Edge comes with an 1807MHz boost clock,
8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and a dual fan cooling array.
With its smaller cooling array, the card only comes in at 224mm
long, making it an excellent option to use in smaller cases.
Overall, if you’re looking for a more affordable new
graphics card option (although, there is really no such thing in this
market), ZOTAC’s Twin Edge RTX 3050 is worth considering.
5. Gigabyte GT 1030
Entry-level graphics card option
- 1544MHz
Clock Speed
- 2GB
GDDR6 VRAM
- Single
Fan Cooling
- 168mm Long
The Gigabyte GT 1030 competes with the RX 550 in that both are
super budget-friendly graphics cards that will work well if you are building a
barebones entry-level system, or if you have an older system that needs to be
upgraded in order to keep up with some of today’s newer games.
The 1030, like the RX 550, should be able to handle most games
on a 1080P monitor on at mediumish (or lower) settings. Although, for more
demanding games, you will likely have to turn the settings down to low.
Typically, this card would come in at well under $100, but with
inflation, it currently costs nearly $200 to land. However, considering that an
option like an RTX 3050 or RX 5500 XT—which should be in the low $100s—are
selling for well over $500, the GT 1030 is about as cheap of a new video card
as you’ll find right now.
Ultimately, this card isn’t a long-term solution, but it will
serve well as a last resort option if you have a super low budget.
Which Graphics Card is Right for You?
This is not a list of every graphics card on the
market. And, while NVIDIA has held the high-end of the market on lockdown
for the past few generations, it is always at least worth looking into newer
architecture before you make your decision.
However, the performance difference, if any, is usually
negligent between AMD and NVIDIA’s offerings at the same price level. And, so
if you’re ready to build now, the options listed here should fit your needs
based off of the price range you are looking to choose from.
In the end, the graphics card you choose for your gaming
computer will be the biggest determining factor in what games you can play, at
what resolution you can play them at, and how high you can turn up the
settings.
آپ کے لیے کون سا گرافکس کارڈ صحیح ہے؟
یہ
مارکیٹ میں موجود ہر گرافکس کارڈ کی فہرست نہیں ہے۔ اور، جب کہ NVIDIA
نے پچھلی چند نسلوں سے لاک ڈاؤن پر مارکیٹ کے اونچے درجے پر قبضہ کر رکھا ہے، لیکن
اپنا فیصلہ کرنے سے پہلے یہ ہمیشہ کم از کم نئے فن تعمیر کو دیکھنے کے قابل ہے۔
تاہم،
کارکردگی کا فرق، اگر کوئی ہے، عام طور پر ایک ہی قیمت کی سطح پر AMD اور NVIDIA کی پیشکشوں کے درمیان لاپرواہی ہے۔ اور، اس
لیے اگر آپ ابھی تعمیر کرنے کے لیے تیار ہیں، تو یہاں درج اختیارات کو قیمت کی حد
کے مطابق آپ کی ضروریات کے مطابق ہونا چاہیے جس میں سے آپ انتخاب کرنا چاہتے ہیں۔
آخر
میں، آپ اپنے گیمنگ کمپیوٹر کے لیے جس گرافکس کارڈ کا انتخاب کرتے ہیں وہ اس بات
کا سب سے بڑا تعین کرنے والا عنصر ہو گا کہ آپ کون سے گیمز کھیل سکتے ہیں، آپ
انہیں کس ریزولوشن پر کھیل سکتے ہیں، اور آپ سیٹنگز کو کس حد تک تبدیل کر سکتے
ہیں۔
