GPU & CPU Recommendations

Ray tracing is a computer graphics technique that helps make images look more realistic by simulating how light hits objects and is reflected or refracted. It enables lifelike effects such as shadows, reflections and lighting in video games, films and other graphical applications. This technology requires special hardware and requires a lot of graphics performance.

It means that the graphics card is recommended for certain applications or games, but with small limitations. It offers sufficient performance, but may not meet the optimal requirements for the best gaming experience or the highest graphics quality. It may be necessary to reduce graphics settings for best performance. It should also be noted that the graphics card may not be optimal for future games or applications with higher hardware requirements.

It means that the graphics card is recommended as the best choice for certain applications or games. It offers the ideal performance and meets the highest requirements for an outstanding gaming experience or the highest graphics quality. The graphics card can support the desired resolution at maximum or near maximum graphics settings. With this recommendation you are also on the safe side for future games.

To choose the right graphics card for you, start by considering what you want your PC to be able to do. Think about what games you want to play, whether you plan to edit videos, or perform other specific tasks. Decide what resolution you need. Also consider possible future requirements. Make sure you first choose a case where the graphics card you want can be selected.

How much RAM you need depends on what you're doing. More and more games are benefiting from 32GB RAM, even if the average FPS can be identical to 16 GB, depending on the game, with 32GB RAM it stutters significantly less (1% low FPS), so an upgrade from 16GB is worth it, especially for future games 32GB definitely, and from 32GB onwards there are two modules available that can be used at the same time (dual channel). You might need more than 32GB for video editing, as well as if you want to stream games at the same time. There are different types of RAM, but DDR4 is the most common today. The higher the MHz, the faster it is. And the lower the latency, the better the performance. DDR5 is also faster due to the higher frequency.

To avoid a bottleneck, the CPU should always be matched to the graphics card. The best graphics card isn't of much use if the CPU can't pass on the data fast enough. Video editing or streaming in addition to gaming requires significantly more CPU performance, or the rule here is usually: the more CPU cores, the better!
