What to look for
- VRAM (video memory): 8GB still runs most games at 1080p, but newer games fill it quickly at high settings. 12GB is a safer buy for 1440p, and 16GB gives the most headroom.
- Check your power supply: Bigger cards need more power and the right connectors. Check the card maker's recommended PSU wattage and the power plugs before you order.
- Check it fits: Measure the space in your case. Low-profile and SFF (small form factor) cards are made for compact cases.
- Older PCs: Some cheaper cards use fewer PCIe lanes (x8), which can hold them back on older PCIe 3.0 boards.
