Graphics Cards

A graphics card is a PC component that provides all of your computing power needs for gaming or video processing. For your gaming PC or video editing computer, buy a powerful Crossfire or SLI compatible graphics card, or opt for an overclocked model with an efficient or even passive cooling system. In terms of performance, choose from the latest generation of graphics cards for maximum frame rates and visual quality.

High-end configurations will require GeForce 3000 graphics cards such as the RTX 3080 , RTX 3080 Ti , and RTX 3090 , or the AMD Radeon equivalent of the RX 6800 XT . Easier to use, PCs equipped with an RTX 3070 or an RX 5700 XT will be just as powerful, provided they are supported by a powerful Core i7-type processor and at least 8 GB of RAM. .

Among the biggest brands (ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI, ZOTAC, PALIT), Smartmarket.ma offers a wide choice of graphics cards. Compare and choose your models according to their format (PCI-express, USB, etc.), their processor or their price (from the cheapest to the most high-end).

An essential PC component for gamers or movie buffs who want to build a great gaming PC, the graphics card (or video card) should be chosen carefully. Physics engine, stereoscopic 3D, multi-screen, 7.1 audio decoding, video cards now do more than just display your desktop.

What is a graphics card?

A graphics card is an expansion card that allows your computer to send information to a display device, such as a PC monitor , television, or projector. There are several graphics card manufacturers that dominate the market, but most have designed their graphics processing unit (GPU) around an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card , which provide drivers to take advantage of all its technologies and Direct-X .

graphics processor

Graphics processor functions can be integrated on the motherboard (via the graphics chipset) or directly in the processor. These two methods are called embedded video; the "on-board video" is for the motherboard, while the APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) is for implementation in the CPU .

Most desktop PCs allow the onboard video to be disabled (in BIOS/UEFI) and have a free PCI Express expansion slot to connect a high performance graphics card to replace the onboard video. In some cases, you can use both to benefit from separate monitors.

Interest in dedicated video cards

The main advantages of integrated video are its small footprint, low price and low power consumption. The main drawback is the sharing of RAM and CPU resources, and of course the limited graphics performance. This is where a dedicated graphics card comes in, as it manages its own RAM and does not consume CPU resources.

Therefore, buying a graphics card can reduce the load on RAM and the processor, thereby increasing the performance of the computer itself. On top of that, it provides hardware acceleration and memory bandwidth to display super high definition, detailed textures, in-game shadows, and lighting management.
