How to Choose the right Video Card
Video cards are similar to processors, but are specifically designed to control the screen images and
graphics on your PC. If you like hard-core, graphics-intensive games or videos, a high quality video
card is a must for your PC. Today's complex games simply won't perform to their maximum potential if
your gaming rig or server is equipped with an old, outdated video card. On our website you'll find a
dazzling selection of video cards that will help you find the highest levels of graphic performance
possible. Buying a new graphic card for your existing or new PC can be daunting. There are many models
available and options to consider. However, if you know exactly how you plan to use the card, you can
make the process much simpler and choose the best card for your needs and your budget.
Video Card Categories
The scores of video cards on the market fall into one of three main categories: Hardcore/enthusiast, mainstream
and value cards. The hardcore enthusiast video cards are the highest-end, best-performing graphic cards for
3D gaming and other demanding applications. Mainstream video cards are mid-range products offering good to
excellent performance for demanding applications like 3D gaming. Value video cards are used primarily for
business and desktop graphics functions, 2D gaming, and very limited 3D gaming as well as specific applications
like providing TV output or S-Video output or dual monitor support. Naturally, you'll pay the most for the
high-end cards and the lowest prices for the value video cards.
Make sure it's compatible
Before you purchase a video card you need to make sure the motherboard you have selected is compatible with
it. In our system configurator, we do this for you... but if you are purchasing a video card for your existing
PC, checking for compatibility is essential. For example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards
designed only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Once you've determined which type of video card you
need, you're ready to make your choice. We have a complete selection representing the finest brands in video
cards including Asus, XFX, BFG, eVGA, ATI, NVIDIA, MSI, PNY and many more. Regardless of whether you're looking
for high-end, mainstream, or budget/ value video cards, you'll find the right selection at Vision Computer Systems.
