I've added another page detailing the specifics of graphics cards and the different brands available. Graphics cards
are easily one of the most influental pieces of hardware in a device, as the better the graphics card, the more important the other
specs are in utilizing the card to the fullest. For example, if you were to get the best graphics card on the market the special
functions of the card would not work unless you had a monitor with the resolution capable of displaying it. Or, if your CPU and RAM
struggle with the workload the graphics card presents you will not get your worth from the money you spend on that card. Generally,
the better the graphics card, the more expensive the entire device will be due to the rest of the device requiring better hardware to
run the graphics. It is very important to understand what you plan to use your device for so that you choose the best option for both
your economic and practical needs.

to install, but choosing which one or picking the right manufactored device is. Picture is taken from

We'll be comparing a few different graphics cards and explaining the best way of utilizing them into the task they are best at.
- Nvdia GeForce GTX 1070
- This graphics card will provide one of the greatest performances for the price. Capable of nearly anything (including VR),
this graphics card can handle anything you throw at it. If you'd like to view this product, go to:
nvidia.com.
- AMD Radeon RX 590
- This is a very standard card for many laptops on the market. While it is not super powerful, and would most likely struggle
with VR or video editing software, it will handle normal settings and daily internet browsing just fine at a lower price. If you'd
like to view this product, go to:
AMD Radeon RX 590.
- Nvdia GeForce GTX 1660
- For its price, this card is one of the best cheap graphics cards, capable of a bit more than the AMD Radeon RX 590 in terms of
overall graphics for less money. However, this is evened out by the fact that is would require better base hardware to run in
comparison to the AMD Radeon RX 590. If you'd like to view this product, go to:

- Nvdia Titan RTX
- This is currently the highest performing graphics card on the market. If you want to make absolutely sure that you want
the best experience you could possibly have and have access to some deeper pockets, this is the best choice. If you'd like
to view this product, go to:
NVIDIA Titan RTX.
