Hi John, |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
what graphicscard you want depends heavily on what you want to |
| 33 |
do with your PC... |
| 34 |
What are the tasks, which put a heavy load on your PC/graphicscard and |
| 35 |
which you are do regularily? |
| 36 |
Do you do a lot of rendering (Blender for example) or video |
| 37 |
(re-)encoding? Do you AI related things (tesorflow for example)? |
| 38 |
Or is gaming you main application? |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Furthermore: You CPU must fit your graphicscard performancewise. |
| 41 |
It makes no sense to choose "a performance beast" and to combine |
| 42 |
it with a "entry level being". |
| 43 |
The fastest graphicscard can onlu as fast, as data are coming from |
| 44 |
the CPU and vice versa. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
On the internet you find a combination of the Ryzen 5 3600 with |
| 47 |
one of the nvidia RTX 20[678] SUPER cards. The RTX 2060 SUPER |
| 48 |
comes with 8GByte of video ram instead of 6 GBYte of the RTX 2060. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
"Linus Tech Tipps" and "Tom's Hardware" are probablu to look for. |

HTH! |

Cheers! |
