Top 14 NVIDIA Graphics Cards

No fan of computer games can do without a video card. Nobody argues, some modern processors have a built-in graphics core, thanks to which the application interface is processed, and also heavy video is played. But for launching games, the capabilities of integrated “graphics” are often not enough. And if a video card is chosen, then in most cases only NVIDIA products are considered. That is why we decided to tell you about the best video adapters from this company. So we will find out which graphics cards do their job best. In this case, we consider not only desktop models. We will talk about those video adapters that are installed inside the laptop. It is interesting to determine how they show themselves in comparison with their desktop counterparts. We will also tell about the models intended for installation inside the server.

NVIDIA TITAN V

Rating: 4.9

NVIDIA TITAN V.jpg

As of February 2019, this is the most powerful amateur video card produced by NVIDIA. This is a real monster, sold in the Russian retail for 255 thousand rubles. Expensive. But if you got acquainted with our rating of the best Intel processors, then you already know that top computer components are now extremely expensive. Why ask such money?

This video adapter is based on the Volta architecture. At the same time, a thin technical process was used, thanks to which the manufacturer managed to maintain low energy consumption, and the heat generation remained quite acceptable. All in all, on the board of this device there was a place for 21 billion transistors. Breathtaking figure! This number provides about 110 teraflops in deep learning tasks. Three-dimensional stack memory is also used here - roughly speaking, this technology is similar to the one that was used some time ago in SSD-drives. By the way, the memory capacity is 12 GB. It is difficult to imagine at least one game that would be so little. The interaction with the memory is carried out at speeds up to 652.8 GB / s. In short, the capacity here is also at altitude.

What else can boast this monster? Perhaps, it should be noted 5120 CUDA cores. With so many of them, the rendering of the video after its installation is greatly accelerated. Also included are 640 Tensor cores. Well, as connectors are used three DisplayPort and one HDMI. A video card must cope with simultaneous output to two monitors at once. What can I say, she is on the shoulder and showing the image on three or four monitors, especially if they have Full HD resolution.

The width of NVIDIA TITAN V is big enough, which is why the video card will take two slots. But this can be said about every powerful video adapter. The power supply of this model is provided through 8-pin and 6-pin connectors. Do not forget to stock up on a powerful power supply! But don't get scared. Most often, the product will consume no more than 300 watts. However, no one will argue with the fact that I would like to less gluttony.

Who may need such a video card? First of all, top video-bloggers come to mind publishing their stuff on YouTube. They will appreciate the increased speed in Premier Pro and other similar programs. It is also a ceiling for a gamer who did not want to integrate two video cards into his computer at once. Using NVIDIA TITAN V, you can play Battlefield V with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels with high graphics settings - the average frequency will be 80 frames / s. It should be noted that the measurements were carried out in the first days of January 2019. As you know, later the studio DICE released a patch that increased the frame rate even more.

Virtues

  • A large number of connectors;
  • Acceptable power consumption;
  • A huge number of CUDA cores;
  • High memory performance;
  • Memory capacity is 12 GB.

disadvantages

  • Extremely high price tag;
  • Difficult to find on sale;
  • No support for ray tracing.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Rating: 4.8

NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 TI.jpg

If the model discussed above is a professional's dream, then many gamers want to buy GeForce RTX 2080 Ti for themselves. This video card is sold for more reasonable money - for about 98 thousand rubles. Of course, this representative of our rating still needs to postpone a few average Russian salaries. But you can not disagree with the fact that the purchase of such a video adapter looks more real than the acquisition of TITAN V.

It uses a completely different architecture - it is called Turing. If we compare the video card with the models of the previous generation (they close our rating), then it can boast six times higher performance. So says the company itself NVIDIA. In practice, the results are, of course, much more modest. But it is definitely impossible not to notice support for ray tracing in real time - of course, where this function has already been implemented. This technology provides a much more realistic lighting, and how credible are the reflections!

The factory model is equipped with a 13-phase power circuit. The product received 11 GB of video memory. Here it belongs to the GDDR6 standard - this is precisely the greatest difference between the device and the professional model discussed above. The memory bandwidth is 616 GB / s, and its speed - 14 Gbit / s. Another video card has received 4352 core CUDA. Not a record, but many people professionally involved in video editing, and this is enough. The maximum product supports image output with a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels. And surely this video adapter can easily cope with any modern VR helmet. DisplayPort, HDMI and USB Type-C connectors are used to connect monitors (the latter is intended specifically for virtual reality headsets). The maximum you can display a picture on four monitors, if we are talking about models with low resolution.

Despite providing power through two 8-pin connectors, the video card consumes 250-260 watts. This means that in theory it can arrange a 650 watt power supply.

If you run Battlefield V on a computer with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti video card, the result will directly depend on the resolution used and DirectX. If the most recent DirectX is selected, and the resolution is 2560x1440 pixels, then with high graphics settings you will receive 52 frames / sec. Again, the measurement was carried out for a long time, and the included ray tracing until mid-January 2024 too much loaded the computer. There is no doubt that now close to the aforementioned FPS can be obtained even when playing in 4K resolution. By the way, if you turn off the DXR, then the performance of the video card is approximately doubled.

Virtues

  • There are kits with Athem and Battlefield V games;
  • Applied artificial intelligence technology;
  • Available ray tracing in real time;
  • A large number of CUDA cores;
  • 11 GB of high memory bandwidth;
  • A large number of connectors includes HDMI 2.0b;
  • Energy consumption can not be called beyond.

disadvantages

  • Still, not everyone can afford it.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

Rating: 4.8

NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2070.jpg

Another new product from NVIDIA. Like the above example, in some stores you can buy an option in the box that shows the code for downloading Battlefield V and Athem games. Also, this video card also uses two fans, which perfectly cope with the cooling of the transistors present here. However, this applies to the factory version of the video adapter. Let's not forget that versions of the GeForce RTX 2070 video card from third-party companies gradually come to the store shelves - they may have a modified cooling system.

Turing is also used here. This means that artificial intelligence will be activated in games. You can also enjoy ray tracing, which is performed in real time. The difference is observed in the block with memory. For the sake of economy, the manufacturer had to reduce the amount of GDDR6 to 8 GB. However, the vast majority of computer games and this is enough. You just will not be touched by the future, that's all. NVIDIA also reduced the memory bus to 256 bits, due to which the bandwidth decreased to 448 GB / s.

The power of this video card is enough to display four monitors. For this purpose, use DisplayPort 1.4, USB Type-C and HDMI 2.0b sockets. As for the power supply, it is provided by one 8-pin connector. Already just by this fact, you can guess about the rum that the video adapter consumes relatively little. No, the results of modern budget creations of the same NVIDIA are still far away. But 175-185 W are adequate figures. Such a video card can even be in a computer with a 550 W power supply!

In our today's ranking are examples of video cards in the game Battlefield V. It just so happens that now it is the best benchmark, which also supports ray tracing. So, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 shows itself in this shooter from the best side. At a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and ultra-graphics settings, the game produces approximately 62 frames / s. But this is only when using DirectX 11! However, when switching to DirectX 12, the result drops by only one or two frames per second. This suggests that the video adapter is ideally optimized for modern technology. And still tests showed that there is no point in spending a huge amount, if even for 50 thousand rubles you can get a perfect result. We recommend to look towards more expensive models only if you got a 4K monitor. Well, it is unlikely that such a video card will suit a person making money on YouTube. The fact is that only 2304 CUDA cores are built in here, which makes the rendering of a video not at all a record speed.

Virtues

  • A large variety of connectors;
  • Not very high power consumption;
  • Built-in large amount of video memory;
  • Real-time ray tracing is supported;
  • It can be delivered with two games from Electronic Arts.

disadvantages

  • CUDA cores could be bigger.

NVIDIA Titan Xp

Rating: 4.8

NVIDIA TITAN XP.jpg

An unexpected representative of our rating, having the architecture of Pascal. This is a very productive copy, in favor of which some professionals make their choice. It should be noted that its value does not exceed 100 thousand rubles. It seems that even top videobloggers may well spend this amount, not to mention those engaged in wedding and studio photography.

However, even the NVIDIA company itself declares on its website that this solution is by no means only for professionals. In games, the video card also shows itself from the best side. The performance of the product has increased threefold when compared with the adapters of the previous generation. All VR technologies are fully supported here.Well, the cherry on the cake is 12 GB of video memory, the flow to which is sent via a 384-bit bus. Only the memory standard is confusing - here it is GDDR5X.

As befits such a powerful solution, the device will overlap the two slots on the motherboard. The textolite of this model contains a huge number of transistors. But much more important to someone is the presence of 3,840 CUDA cores. They allow you to render video at a fairly high speed. Only TITAN V and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which are sold for completely different money, have higher rates.

DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0b connectors are used to display the image here. To generate electricity, 8-pin and 6-pin connectors are used. Video card power consumption - Mama Do not Cry, about 250 watts. However, this does not mean that you have to stock up on an expensive kilowatt power supply - there will be enough products with a capacity of 600 watts.

Perhaps this is a good choice for those who process video on a professional basis. Confuse such people can only design a video card. Like many other "titans", the device uses only one fan. Do I have to say that under this heavy load this “spinner” starts to make a noisy noise?

Virtues

  • A very large number of CUDA cores;
  • Built-in 12 GB of video memory;
  • Memory bandwidth reaches 547.7 GB / s;
  • A large number of connectors.

disadvantages

  • High price;
  • At some moments, the video card starts to make noise;
  • There is no support for ray tracing;
  • High power consumption.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

Rating: 4.7

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1080 TI.jpg

This video card has closed a line of GeForce GTX. We can say that this representative of our rating showed the maximum of what adapters of the tenth series are capable of. This product squeezes everything out of the GDDR5X standard memory. Also, the manufacturer borrowed the design of his creation from the already mentioned "titans". On the one hand, because of this, the device received only one fan, which at certain moments can begin to behave quite noisy. On the other hand, most people buy NVIDIA video cards created by third-party companies - they may have a completely different cooling system.

The integrated graphics processor is designed according to the Pascal architecture. It consists of 12 billion transistors. Also, the composition of the video card included 3584 core CUDA. It is because of their number that the device is in demand among all kinds of video bloggers, because they are the ones who enjoy the fast rendering of the video most of all.

This model is not trained in real-time ray tracing. But the video card is best suited for connecting VR helmets. It is curious that the owner of this video adapter will be able to use the NVIDIA ANSEL feature, making in-game screenshots with a viewing angle of 360 degrees. So you can show your friends exactly what you see inside the VR-helmet. You can view such screenshots not only on a computer, but also on a regular smartphone.

The structure of this adapter includes 11 GB of video memory. The memory bus bandwidth is 352 bits - now it is the maximum possible parameter. Although it must be admitted that the memory bandwidth is not ideal. Although 484 GB / s is a lot. Numerous connectors are used to connect monitors and a VR helmet - these are HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4.

Unfortunately, a non-record thin process technology was used to produce the video card. Because of this, the product consumes up to 250 watts of electricity. This is a level of much more professional solutions! For power supply, two connectors are used - 6-pin and 8-pin.

Do not be surprised that the video card allows you to play a “battle” dedicated to the Second World War with a very high frame rate. The fact is that the lack of support for real-time ray tracing greatly reduces the load. As a result, with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, DirectX 11, and ultra-graphics settings, you can get an average of 103 frames per second. Even at the moments of explosions the frequency will not fall below 94 frames / s! Of course, these results are true for a computer with a powerful processor on board.Well, if you decide to display a picture on a TV with 4K-display, the frequency will drop, but to quite acceptable 60 frames / s. And this is with all the same ultra-settings!

Virtues

  • Large amount of video memory;
  • Excellent memory bandwidth;
  • A very large number of CUDA cores;
  • There is no shortage of connectors.

disadvantages

  • High power consumption;
  • Ray tracing is not supported;
  • The cost may still seem too high.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Rating: 4.7

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

The youngest representative of the new line of GeForce RTX. As you know, all video cards included in this series support ray tracing in real time. And this copy is also completed with one of the games from Electronic Arts - this may be Anthem or more than once mentioned in our Battlefield V rating. However, we know how quickly the price of games from EA falls, so this offer can hardly be brought into serious advantages. .

The processor used here is based on the Turing architecture. This means that the user is waiting for not only ray tracing, but also the use of artificial intelligence technology. Two wide-blade fans (in the factory version) are used to cool the GPU.

Of course, this model has several limitations. For example, its composition contains only 6 GB of video memory, even if it conforms to the GDDR6 standard. Data movement is carried out on a 192-bit bus. As a result, the memory bandwidth is only 336 GB / s.

Another product has at its disposal 1920 core CUDA. Relatively few, but it is still more than the amount that video cards of previous generations could boast of, which are now sold at times cheaper. The USB Type-C, HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4 and DVI-DL connectors are used to display the picture on the monitor. At the same time, you can display the image on four monitors, which is an excellent indicator for a video adapter that is not sold for record money.

Despite the status, the device still turned out to be quite wide, which is why it takes away two slots from the motherboard. As for the supply of electricity, it is carried out through a single 8-pin connector. As a result, the product consumes only 160 watts. We can safely say that the video card will work even in low-cost computers equipped with a 500-watt power supply.

Traditionally, we mention the results of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 video card in Battlefield V. When choosing a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, DirectX 11 and high settings, you should expect an FPS of 79 frames per second. If you activate ray tracing, the result is reduced to 35-36 frames / s. This suggests that the video card has a minimum number of RT cores, which are responsible for this function. In a word, it’s definitely not worth buying this video card for the sake of enjoying new effects from lighting and reflections. If only you are not going to play on the monitor with Full HD resolution for a few more years, where FPS will be quite satisfactory.

Virtues

  • Ray tracing is supported;
  • A decent amount of CUDA cores;
  • There are all the most necessary connectors;
  • Enough low power consumption;
  • Free EA game included.

disadvantages

  • Not the largest amount of video memory;
  • Not the best memory bandwidth;
  • It is better not to include ray tracing at high resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

Rating: 4.7

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1070 TI.jpg

It must be that this representative of our rating is now the most accessible to ordinary players. First of all, finding GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in stores is much easier than more powerful models (some of them are just preparing for the official start of sales). Secondly, the cost of this video card is approximately 35 thousand rubles. That is, in its price tag, it is as close as possible to the modern gaming console, with which it should be compared. Thirdly, third-party vendors have long been advancing - MSI, PALIT and some other companies have presented their solutions.

Most of all this card will appeal to owners of VR-helmets. The performance of this solution is enough to produce two high-resolution images.And we can not draw attention to the fact that the device is only one fan. However, third-party manufacturers can give the adapter a different cooling system - with a large number of "fans", but it is noticeably quieter.

Despite the relatively low cost, the video card offers as many as 2,432 CUDA cores. That is why in their time in favor of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, many video-bloggers made their choice, who were not ready to spend money on the more expensive GTX 1080.

It is impossible not to notice that the composition of the graphics adapter includes 8 GB of video memory standard GDDR5. In this case, the manufacturer has provided a bandwidth of 256 GB / s (256 bit bus is used). In short, there is no shortage of video memory, especially if you are not yet using a 4K-resolution monitor.

Actually, if we talk about the display, then HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4 and DL-DVI are used to display the image here. The maximum you can achieve images with a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels and a frequency of 60 Hz. This, of course, in theory. In fact, FPS with this parameter will mercilessly subside, not only in games, but also in ordinary applications.

The width of the video adapter is very large, the product will precisely overlap the two slots. The power supply is carried out via an 8-pin connector. At peak times, the video card consumes 180 watts. Perhaps this is its only serious drawback. The manufacturer claims that a computer with this adapter will have enough power supply for 500 W, but we would recommend to consider a slightly more powerful unit.

As you know, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti does not support ray tracing, so even when using the resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and DirectX 12, it shows quite good results in Battlefield V. When choosing ultra-settings, the average FPS is 70 frames / s. Do I need to say that more gamers do not need more, since they do not have at their disposal a monitor that supports frequencies above this parameter?

Virtues

  • A very large number of CUDA cores;
  • A decent amount of video memory;
  • Good memory bus;
  • There are all the most necessary connectors;
  • The price can not be called exorbitant.

disadvantages

  • No support for ray tracing;
  • Enough high power consumption.

Best NVIDIA Laptop Graphics Cards

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (mobile)

Rating: 4.9

NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 (MOBILE) .jpg

Of course, the powerful graphics chip on the Turing architecture could not bypass laptops. However, the cost of this product is very high, so it is unlikely in the coming years to wait for the appearance of at least some affordable laptops with such a chip. Apparently, while the mobile version of GeForce RTX 2080 will receive only top gaming machines, the cost of which starts from 180-200 thousand rubles.

For now, we can only build a theory about this video card. The fact is that the chip was announced recently. This means that we still know very few of its characteristics. Well, the mass production of laptops equipped with it will have to wait about six months. However, at the time of compiling the rating, it is known that the product must receive support for the video memory of the GDDR6 standard, data from which is read on a 256-bit bus. Also, the chip should receive 2944 shader processors. The video card will work at a frequency of 1380 MHz, and if necessary it will be possible to use the Boost mode, in which the frequency rises to 1590 MHz.

Alas, the product has not yet been tested in the most recent "battle". However, there is no doubt that the chip will precisely draw this game on ultra-graphic settings and when displaying an image on 4K. And not just pull, but will do it with a frequency of at least 60 frames / s. With the activation of ray tracing or without it - this is still in question.

Virtues

  • There is support for ray tracing;
  • 2944 CUDA cores must be present;
  • It is possible to increase the frequency up to 1590 MHz;
  • Large amount of video memory;
  • A good memory bus should be used.

disadvantages

  • The power consumption at peak times will be 150 W;
  • Laptops with such a GPU will be terribly expensive.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (mobile)

Rating: 4.8

NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2070 (MOBILE) .jpg

Of course, NVIDIA could not manage only the announcement of the top-end graphics processor.Simultaneously with the aforementioned model, mobile versions of GeForce RTX 2070 and GeForce RTX 2060 were presented. The second chip seems to be the least interesting, although it pleases with power consumption not exceeding 90 W, which would allow playing even without connecting a laptop to the socket. As for the GeForce RTX 2070, this video card will consume from 80 to 115 W, depending on the load. In short, many laptops with such a chip will provide an opportunity to start the game only when the battery is fully charged or after connecting the network adapter.

So far, you can find only one laptop in the stores, equipped with a GPU announced in January. Novelty called Gigabyte Aero 15-X9. It is with its help that some publications have tested the mobile version of the GeForce RTX 2070. However, a lot has remained unclear. How will the graphics processor behave when displaying images with higher resolution? The fact is that the laptop screen has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, which seems to be an insufficient parameter by today's standards. It is clear that the GPU easily cope with Battlefield V with this resolution, even with ray tracing enabled - the laptop produces over 50 frames / sec. However, in the transition to ultra-settings, serious FPS subsidences begin. All this is relevant when the neighborhood in the form of not the most powerful processor.

Video bloggers should like the fact that the product has received 2304 CUDA cores. As for the frequency, it can reach 1440 MHz for a video card. But if you want to play outside the home, then it is better to avoid switching on the Boost mode - in this case the frequency will be limited to 1185 MHz.

In short, the chip turned out very good. Of course, even it will not be the cheapest way to see the effect of ray tracing. However, the laptops equipped with it will cope with such a mode of operation in games without a strong subsidence of the frame rate - the GeForce RTX 2060 will show itself noticeably worse.

Virtues

  • Ray tracing is supported;
  • A decent amount of CUDA cores;
  • High frequency;
  • There must be a large amount of GDDR6 memory;
  • Optimum power consumption.

disadvantages

  • Laptops with such a GPU will have a very high cost.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (mobile)

Rating: 4.8

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1080 (MOBILE) .jpg

If we talk about laptops sold now, almost all of them have at their disposal a graphics processor that does not support ray tracing. In particular, if you want to buy a gaming laptop for 100-150 thousand rubles, you will most likely get an option with a mobile version of the GeForce GTX 1080. It should be noted that this GPU is quite different from its desktop counterpart. You should not expect from him extremely fast video rendering and large FPS in games on ultra-settings. However, it all depends on the configuration of a particular laptop and the selected game.

First, let's take a look at the characteristics of the next representative of our rating. In fact, the mobile version of the GeForce GTX 1080 consists of a processor running at a clock frequency from 1566 to 1733 MHz. Of course, in the mode of Boost power consumption greatly increases, so it is recommended to use it only when the laptop is connected to the mains. Also, this video card is capable of boasting a standard GDDR5X memory, the volume of which in most laptops is 8 GB. The interaction with it is carried out on a 256-bit bus, which can also be considered an excellent parameter.

This chip belongs to the architecture of Pascal, as well as the graphics processor included in the desktop version. It holds 7.2 billion transistors. Nevertheless, even this may not be enough for the perfect launch of some modern games. However, GTA V at high graphics settings comes with an average frequency of 71 fps if it comes to the resolution of Full HD. The third “The Witcher” causes problems - at maximum settings and 1080p resolution, it can only be played at a frequency of 41 fps. Once upon a time, the mobile version of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 was ideal in the notebook world. But now the palm belongs not to this graphics processor. However, its capabilities will definitely suit the fans of “tanks” and other games that do not require a top-end computer.

Virtues

  • Uses fast GDDR5X memory;
  • Good memory bus width;
  • High clock frequency;
  • Large amount of video memory;
  • The laptop can be equipped with connectors HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4;
  • A large number of CUDA cores.

disadvantages

  • Consumes up to 165 watts;
  • No support for ray tracing;
  • Laptops with such a GPU are usually quite expensive.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (mobile)

Rating: 4.7

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 980 (MOBILE) .jpeg

If we can say about the previous representatives of our rating that they are all unlikely to become obsolete in the coming years, the mobile version of the GeForce GTX 980 will soon cease to meet the requirements of many gamers. However, if you know for sure that you will be using the gaming laptop for only one or two years, then you can consider the option of buying the model with the above-mentioned video adapter.

Unfortunately, this GPU is made only on the 28-nanometer process technology. We can safely say that it is unlikely that NVIDIA will ever return to it. Despite the fact that this graphics processor exists not the first year, it supports DirectX 12. And the product can also please 2048 CUDA cores. This suggests that a laptop equipped with this video card is ideal for a person who is regularly engaged in video editing.

The graphics processor operates at a clock frequency of 1126 MHz. Like the brothers released later, this GPU supports automatic frequency increase. Also declared to work with traditional technologies NVIDIA - PhysX and G-Sync. Video memory data is read over a 256-bit wide bus. As for its volume, it can be different - it all depends on the specific laptop. The maximum such video card supports 8 GB - this is more than enough for most games. However, many laptop manufacturers prefer to create a cheaper product, making the final choice in favor of the GeForce GTX 980 with half the volume. It remains to add that the memory belongs to the standard GDDR5.

This graphics card copes with games, if the image is displayed on the display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. For example, DOOM will produce at least 84 frames / s, Hitman - 61 frames / s, The Division - 68 frames / s, and Star Wars Battlefront - more than 100 frames / s. But already from these results it is clear that it only makes sense to display a picture on a 4K-resolution monitor if you are going to launch FIFA or something like that.

Virtues

  • A very large number of CUDA cores;
  • High enough clock frequency;
  • Good memory bus width;
  • Laptops with such a GPU are not always expensive.

disadvantages

  • Most often it has a small amount of video memory;
  • High power consumption;
  • No support for ray tracing;
  • It does not work well when displaying images with 4K resolution.

Top NVIDIA Graphics Cards for Servers

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000

Rating: 4.9

NVIDIA QUADRO RTX 6000.png

Our rating could not do without video cards intended for installation inside the server. Often these models are called graphic stations. This is due to the fact that such devices are used for professional purposes. For example, Pixar studio renders frames for their cartoons with their help. Other studios can use similar solutions to create special effects. And, of course, so powerful graphics cards are ideal for video editing. But do we need to say that such video cards are terribly expensive? However, what else could you expect from devices that show the maximum of what modern NVIDIA creations are capable of?

The most powerful graphics card at the time of the ranking is the Quadro RTX 6000. As is clear by its name, the device supports ray tracing (RT cores do this). This monster costs about $ 6300. Such a purchase is affordable only to professionals who earn huge money. In games, it is pointless to check such a video card, except perhaps for the sake of curiosity.

The power consumption of the Quadro RTX 6000 reaches 295 W - even Intel server processors consume less power. The product consists of 4,608 CUDA cores - a greater number of them cannot be placed on such a small device. At least, until NVIDIA learned to create them at an even finer level. Also, this model has 24 GB of GDDR6 video memory at its disposal.

The manufacturer claims that the performance of his creation reaches 16.3 teraflops.It seems that this is quite enough to simultaneously display a picture on four monitors, and even with a high resolution. By the way, for this purpose, only DisplayPort 1.4 connectors are used. Another product received a VirtualLink socket (actually USB Type-C) - it is used to transfer a picture to a virtual reality headset.

As usual, these video cards can be combined into one common array. The corresponding bridge costs $ 80 - also not a cheap pleasure.

Virtues

  • Huge computational power;
  • A large number of DisplayPort connectors;
  • Astronomical video memory;
  • Excellent memory bus width;
  • A large number of CUDA cores;
  • There is support for ray tracing.

disadvantages

  • Incredibly high power consumption;
  • The cooling system cannot be called quiet;
  • Very high cost.

NVIDIA Quadro P6000

Rating: 4.9

It is much easier to purchase this video card. If the flagship is available in limited quantities, then the Quadro P6000 can be found in many Russian stores. The price tag, of course, also bites - it reaches 400 thousand rubles. For the money you get a massive product, which consists of 3840 universal processors. Needless to say, such a video card supports DirectX 12. As much as possible, it is capable of outputting a picture with a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels. Four monitors can be connected at the same time, using DisplayPort connectors.

This video card does not belong to the number of new products. Therefore, it is not surprising that its video memory complies with the GDDR5X standard. Its volume is 24 GB, which should suit any professional. The interaction with the memory is carried out by, as it is easy to guess, a 384-bit bus.

In fact, the Quadro P6000 graphics card does not have any particular disadvantages, if we forget about the astronomical price tag. Yes, there is no support for ray tracing. But if you are not a game developer, you are unlikely to be disappointed. And even when developing games for this video adapter, you can find many uses - for example, you can use it to create 3D objects. Perhaps you can find fault with this video card only about its power consumption. It reaches 250 watts. Of course, the “spinner” cooling the hot chip can make a noisy noise. But this is not important, because the adapter will be installed in the server, which in itself will not be quiet.

Virtues

  • Very high clock speed;
  • An incredibly large number of universal processors;
  • A large number of connectors;
  • A huge amount of video memory;
  • Good memory bus.

disadvantages

  • Very high cost;
  • Power consumption reaches 250 watts.

NVIDIA Quadro P4000

One of the most inexpensive graphic stations among those intended for use within the server. For this model in the Russian stores are asked about 70 thousand rubles. Of course, for such money you should not wait to receive some kind of monster capable of producing the perfect graphics with the maximum frame rate. Economy of the manufacturer is noticeable at least in terms of video memory, amounting to only 8 GB. Yes, and it belongs only to the standard GDDR5. I am glad that at least the memory bus here is 256-bit - this ensures bandwidth at the level of 243 GB / s.

The structure of the product included only 1792 core CUDA. Also on the video card you can find four DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. The manufacturer promises that no problems will arise even if the connected monitors have a 5K resolution.

The video card operates at a clock frequency of 1227 MHz. If you activate the Boost mode, then this parameter will rise to an impressive 1480 MHz. I am glad that the components used here consume not a very large amount of energy - only about 105 watts. This means that a computer in which one such video card is installed can use a modest 450W power supply.

Many people buy this video card not only for professional purposes, but also for running games.Why not? The video card is more accessible than many analogs from the GeForce RTX series, while it is not much inferior to them. Also, at one time it was a great option for mining cryptocurrency.

Virtues

  • High clock frequency;
  • Good memory bandwidth;
  • A large number of connectors;
  • Low power consumption;
  • It takes only one slot;
  • Cost can not be called exorbitant.

disadvantages

  • No RT-cores;
  • The number of CUDA cores may seem insufficient;
  • Only 5K resolution is supported as much as possible.

Conclusion

Such is the list of the best NVIDIA graphics cards among those existing at the time of this writing. Please note that it was about the most productive solutions. This time we did not divide the device into price segments. Therefore, the purchase of any of the reviewed video adapters will cost a very large sum. But laptop graphics cards are not sold separately. But you can always buy the laptop itself, focusing on our selection!
