Best Computer Video Cards

One of the most important components of each computer is the video card because it enhances the graphics capabilities of the computer. Thanks to it you are able to watch HD movies, play video games, and so on. In what follows I am going to give you some information about the best PC video cards for gaming. The technology is very expensive but there are also video cards which you can buy for less money. Usually the faster ones are more expensive whereas the slower ones are more affordable.


ATI Radeon 5870 is a great video card for gaming, and with the 5800 series, the company has made a huge leap in the industry, an unprecedented one which they did not do in a long time. The HD 5870 video card is a single-GPU video card, and it managed to become one of the best in the category. It can even be a match for many double-GPU video cards, and that can be very impressive. This PC video card has 1 GB of GDDR5 onboard and a core clock speed of 850MHz. The HD 5870 also has full support for DirectX 11. I have to tell you that this video card is kind of expensive, but it is one if the best high-end video cards that are available for purchase.

ATI Radeon HD 5970 is another great video card when it comes to gaming. It is one of the fastest discrete video cards on the market, when it first appeared it took the number one spot in this category. The HD 5970 uses a single PCB, uses a long card and because of this, it does not fit into any casing, only in certain ones, and that can be an inconvenience. When it comes to performance, it is extremely fast.



Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 came as a response to the HD 4870 X2, which is a video card made by ATI. This is a dual card, and has 2 GTX 260 GPUs running in SLI on a single card. It managed to surpass the HD 4870 when it came to performance but you should know that this card is not cheap at all. Another great gaming video card is the ATI Radeon HD 5770 which is very similar to the HD 5870, but slightly weaker from certain points of view. The video card has a memory bus of 128-bit, has DirectX 11 support, and various features which can be found in many ATI video cards such as Eyefinity.

These are some of the best PC video cards for gaming. As you can see, all of them are made whether by ATI or by Nvidia and the reason for this is that they are the best in the domain.
