How Much VRAM Do You Need For Gaming? [Guide] - GPU Mag. With the modern triple-A titles becoming harder and harder to run, there are some key factors to consider in order to get a satisfying gaming experience, with one of the key ones being VRAM.

You have surely been in a position of buying a new graphics card and assumed that the more VRAM you have, the game’s going to run smoother. That assumption is half-true seeing as there are different VRAM options like GDDR6 or HBM2. There are also important factors to consider like the graphical demand of the game you’re playing, but also the resolution, in-game graphics settings, etc. GPU Fan Not Spinning? Main Causes And How To Fix [Simple] The GPU fan not spinning is a frustrating experience and it can come from various different reasons and thus can have a lot of solutions, both easy and complicated.

There’s probably nothing more infuriating than building your brand new PC and then realizing that a component isn’t working, potentially destroying your entire machine. And if that thing is as small as the GPU fan not working, it can be exceptionally irritating. Then there’s the possibility of the GPU fan stopping when everything already worked for a while that’s probably even more frustrating. Important: some GPU fans aren’t meant to spin all the time. They have something that’s called passive cooling and it actually shifts the responsibility to the heatsink to cool the GPU when it’s not under heavy stress, like when you’re browsing the web. But, fear not! Software Bugs And Fixes. GDDR5 vs GDDR5X vs HBM vs HBM2 vs GDDR6 [Simple Guide]

With an abundance of choice for the GPU’s video memory, otherwise known as video RAM, there’s bound to be some confusion as to what type does what and which is the best choice.

Before getting into the specifics of each of these memory types, we’re going to delve into the importance of RAM (random access memory) as it’s important to understand why there are differences and why one memory type might be great for a certain user, but a downside for another. First and foremost, it’s good to know what RAM and by extension VRAM is used for. Random Access Memory – RAM Although technically the first actual RAM dates all the way back to 1947, we are very far removed from that. What’s cool about RAM is that the data on it can be changed in any order and that it can access data (both read and write) in the same time frame, with the physical location of it being irrelevant.

AMD RDNA 2 Release Date, Price And Specs [Updated] For a while, AMD has taken the back seat as Nvidia firmly led the GPU market.

Now that AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture is coming, many are wondering if this is finally the move that will challenge Nvidia and lead to an all-out price war where the consumers will end up being the true winners. When AMD Navi launched back in July of 2019 with the Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 GPUs, there was genuine excitement in the air. A Closer Look Into AMD’s GCN Architecture - Gpumag - Medium. GCN or Graphics Core Next was AMD’s response to end Nvidia’s reign in the GPU computing space.

With such a big task at hand, AMD had to ditch their last GPU architecture, requiring them to set their GPU’s free from VIEW’s bounds and its instruction-centric approach to parallelism. Before we dive into the GCN architecture, here’s why AMD needed to make a completely new GPU architecture. Simply put, AMD had no options. While AMD was sticking to its aging GPU architecture, the enterprise and high-performance computer market was growing. These are the highest margin markets that hardware companies count on and a GPU’s computing potential means a lot to these companies. Based on early positive reviews, Nvidia backed Fermi with R&D and tonnes of investment in the surrounding software ecosystem. Exploring the Importance of GPU Benchmark Test. You probably already know that GPU is an acronym for Graphics Processing Unit.

This component is not only useful for gaming but also for business applications. In the 90s, GPUs became quite famous for being the component that controls graphics on a machine as coined by Nvidia, a popular chip manufacturer. AMD and Nvidia are the two major players in the desktop and laptop’s graphics card arena today. Benchmarking a GPU is one of the best ways to see how your graphics card will expect to handle the latest PC games. A GPU benchmark test will give you an idea about the limitation of your graphics card and also provide the resolution that you can play a select amount of games on. CrossFire vs SLI - Are They Worth It? [Simple Guide] - GPU Mag. Getting two or more graphics cards to do one job sounds like a great idea in theory but in reality, it may not yield such great results.

There have been a host of issues that plagued both AMD’s Crossfire and Nvidia’s SLI, both valid approaches to the multi-GPU idea, but neither can really brag about solving their issues properly. When these technologies made their debuts in the mid-2000s, many were excited about the implicit promises they made. However, the lukewarm start both of these companies offered for their respective multi-GPU solution would, unfortunately, continue throughout their entire lifespans. Crossfire was officially put to sleep in 2017 and while SLI still technically has a pulse, it’s been replaced by NVLink or simply common sense, depending on who you ask.

What Causes Stuttering in Games? A Quick Guide. What Is SLI & List Of SLI Compatible Cards [Guide] - GPU Mag. Scalable Link Interface or SLI is the brand name for Nvidia’s multi-GPU technology meant for linking up two or more graphics cards into a single output using a parallel processing algorithm.

It sounds like a mouthful, but this is a really cool technology that has also been used by their competitors, AMD, with their CrossFire brand, and it’s worth talking about. Let’s see how all of this works! Fun fact: Nvidia isn’t the innovator of this technology as they acquired it from 3dfx Interactive who introduced it in 1998. At that point, it was a little ahead of its time, but in 2004, when SLI made its reappearance, the market for top-performing gaming equipment was ripe. What Is Needed To Run SLI? A friend of mine actually fried his motherboard thinking that just because he had enough slots, he could insert graphics cards and just boot up the computer. First, you must check if the motherboard is SLI compatible. Second, you need identical graphics cards.

SLI Bridge connects the graphics cards.
