Nvidia has always been a leader in graphics chip manufacturing, and its GeForce series has become a real bestseller and benchmark for competitors. GeForce-based graphics cards deliver the best performance and are the first to get the latest technology.All GeForce models that were produced and are being produced "green" for the mass user are divided into several series:
GT - ordinary office cards that are useful only for a working computer or "cold" systems. Their playing potential is extremely low and they are bought in case there is not enough money for a normal card, but you need to sit out on something.
GTX - a series of video cards for games with support for relevant technologies.
RTX - the latest generation on the Turing architecture with RT cores and support for ray tracing technology.
Market leaders for video cards based on GeForce chips
Due to the widespread development of cryptocurrency mining, the video card market is extremely unstable, but it still has clear “champions” that dominate the shelves of Russian stores:
ASUS. A recognized leader with its own technological base, which allows it to offer options in all price categories and one of the first to introduce fresh chips.
GIGABYTE. An equally popular manufacturer with a rich history and extensive experience in producing high-quality video cards for any budget.
Palit. Over the past 5 years, this brand has jumped above its head, pulling up the quality of products to the level of top manufacturers.
MSI. A company specializing in gaming graphics cards. Alas, production volumes of MSI cards have declined and they are being sold very quickly.
How to choose a video card based on a GeForce graphics chip?
When choosing a video card with an Nvidia GeForce chip, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:
Purpose. For office work, you should not overpay for a fresh chip, the performance will be excessive, but a good computer for games will require an up-to-date video card.
Energy consumption. Be sure to make sure that your power supply has enough power to run a new card.
Dimensions. Powerful video cards are always larger than office counterparts and will not fit in every case.
Cooling system. An important parameter, especially for those who plan to overclock the card. We do not recommend buying turbine systems, they are the noisiest and least productive. The best effect will provide liquid cooling.
The best GeForce graphics cards - mid-budget and expensive models
The segment with the best graphics cards on the market, including models with great gaming potential at a price of 15,000 rubles.
5 ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Phoenix
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 20199 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Once a savior for 1050 Ti players. The version from ASUS has one fan, while the chip itself is quite cold and no additional power is required for the card. Immediately 4 GB of video memory makes the card “tasty” enough to buy, which also makes buyers forget about the once relevant GTX 1050. It is equipped with Samsung chips with increased resource intensity and quality. Semi-passive cooling - at low temperatures, the fans do not spin, saving electricity.
The 128-bit bus and 7008 MHz video memory frequency allow you to play almost all online games without friezes at high settings. From the factory, the card has a slight overclocking of the video processor from 1290 to 1430 MHz. The average temperature is kept around 55 degrees, with acceleration to 61 degrees.
4 Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti STORMX
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 20690 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
This video card is in active consumer demand and receives a large number of reviews confirming its high rating. Experts also praise the card in their reviews, offering the Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti STORMX as the best alternative to MSI models that have become too expensive and do not stay on store shelves. It is worth adding that the card entered the market in 2016, i.e. its reliability has been proven over time.
The Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti STORMX was created on the Nvidia Pascal architecture, has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, supports 4K resolution and, most importantly, is not afraid to heat up to 97 degrees, i.e. Suitable for games at medium and high settings without the risk of burning the chip with a high load. We add that for connection you need a PSU with a power of 300 W or more, but the card does not require an additional power cable.
3 Palit GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming Pro
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 23800 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
An economical video card that consumes no more than 75 W at maximum load on the GeForce GTX 1650 video chip from Nvidia. To work, you will need a power supply unit of 300 W and higher, as well as a 6-pin cable for additional power, because there are two fans of the cooling system, which guarantees absolute protection against overheating. The chip itself has the Turing architecture, operates at frequencies of 1410 - 1590 MHz, received 896 shader processors. Of course, there is no support for ray tracing, but there is GDDR6 memory, as well as the ability to display images in full 8K resolution.
Reviews and feedback on this model are mostly positive. The card is praised for its low power consumption, cooling efficiency, and the ability to manually control the fans, all the way to turning them off.In addition, the compact dimensions of the model are noted, although it occupies two slots. Of the minuses, we note the presence of complaints about the poor design of the interface of the proprietary setup utility, as well as the inconvenient location of the auxiliary power connector.
2 GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650 Low Profile OC
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 26490 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
An interesting video card that sells like hot cakes, so you'll have to watch for fresh arrivals in stores. Based on the Nvidia GeForce Turing TU117 chip, created using a 12nm process technology using 1792 tensor cores and 896 shader processors. The card does not require additional power, it uses active cooling with two "turntables", but, most importantly, it is assembled on the most compact board of the "Low Profile" format, i.e. suitable for thin cases.
According to customer reviews and tester reviews, the card is great for gaming, does not make noise under load and does not heat up at all. Although we will not advise this option for demanding gamers because of the limitations on the possibility of overclocking a video chip with a narrow frequency range from 1485 to 1695 MHz. Of the obvious shortcomings, we note only the use of GDDR5 memory.
1 ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 OC Edition
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 127990 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Very powerful graphics card with Nvidia GeForce chip RTX 3060. A real beast, built for gaming at the highest graphics settings. Yes, the price is more than biting, but for this money you will get 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with an operating frequency of 15000 MHz. The chip itself is built using an 8nm process technology, its base frequency is 1867 MHz and, of course, there is support for ray tracing.The card supports up to 4 monitors and is capable of displaying a picture at a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels.
There are not so many reviews on the model yet, but the first reviews of specialists indicate excellent potential, so in the future this video card will definitely become one of the best in its class. Note that to connect the card, you will need a power supply unit with a capacity of at least 650 W, as well as an additional 8 pin power cable. A specially shaped radiator blown by a pair of coolers is responsible for cooling.
Best GeForce Graphics Cards - Budget Segment
Inexpensive options for entry to mid-range gaming systems or office computers. Price segment up to 15,000 rubles.
5 GIGABYTE GeForce GT 730LP
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 6400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
GIGABYTE GeForce GT 730 LP is the most minimal card for the office. It is a small printed circuit board with a plug and a fan for cooling. It's good that this is the case, because many manufacturers install a passive cooling system, and if you start the game on this, the card will warm up and begin to suffocate.
The GPU frequency is extremely low at 902 MHz. Despite the 2 GB of video memory, all its advantages are killed by a 64-bit bus and a video memory frequency of 5000 MHz. Supports maximum 3 monitors and 4096x2160 resolution. From the ports there are 1 HDMI and 1 DVI. For the price, there are no obvious flaws. Used on a "set it and forget it" basis. We do not recommend buying it even for entry-level gaming computers.
4 ASUS Phoenix GeForce GT 1030
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 8130 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
A solid budget card for the office or the simplest PC for gaming. In our review, we will not classify it as a full-fledged game for a number of reasons, although sellers in every possible way deny this fact. Yes, there is 2 GB of video memory, and the frequencies of the processor with video memory are not bad - 1228 and 6008 MHz. The stumbling block is again the 64-bit bus.
To run this "beauty" you will need a power supply of at least 300 watts. If you wish, you can play GTA 4/5 on it at high settings or even tanks at maximum speed. She is unlikely to pull novelties, but will faithfully serve in the office for a long time. It does not require additional power, the heat pack is minimal.
3 KFA2 GeForce GT 710 PASSIVE
Country: China
Average price: 3480 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The most affordable office option on the GeForce GT 710 chip from Nvidia. A simple graphics card for undemanding users with passive cooling and Kepler architecture. It operates at a frequency of 954 MHz, has 192 shader processors, quietly heats up to 95 degrees and can display a picture in 4K resolution. The card is very compact, occupies only one slot and has a thickness of 38 mm, which is important when assembling office PCs in small cases.
Of course, it’s completely unsuitable for games, but it’s possible to gamble in browser-based entertainment at lunchtime. There is no abundance of criticism for this model in the reviews, the card works out its money completely, but it does not offer too much either. Of the complaints, it is worth highlighting the possible overheating during a long maximum load on the video chip, which leads to a drawdown in the operating frequency.
2 Palit GeForce GT 1030LP
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 7580 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
A budget video card based on the Nvidia GT 1030 chip, suitable for building the most inexpensive PC for gaming, but without a swing at top projects and certainly not at high graphics settings. It entered the market in 2017 and over the years has established itself as a well-balanced option with a minimum of critical problems in operation. It has only 2 GB of GDDR5 memory and a 64-bit bus, so it does not differ in high speed. This is partly offset by support for Nvidia GPU Boost 3.0 technology - the video chip adapts to current tasks and adjusts the frequency in real time. This ensures maximum performance and at the same time saves resources.
The model does not receive a large number of complaints in the reviews, but some users talk about increased noise at maximum load. In addition, many do not like the meager equipment - the video card is delivered even without a cardboard package.
1 Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 Silent
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 7650 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
An interesting option with passive cooling, i.e. only one aluminum heatsink without fans. Thanks to this, the video card is absolutely silent and consumes only 30 watts under load. The manufacturer was able to achieve this effect due to a competent design and the use of a number of unique technologies that made it possible to maintain performance without the threat of overheating. Judging by the reviews, the card easily survives temperatures up to 97 degrees, but it's still hard to recommend it for gaming, it's more of a powerful office option.
This model almost does not receive negative reviews, but the card is praised for its compact dimensions, high energy efficiency, silent operation, HEVC support and ease of cleaning the heatsink from dust. Among the shortcomings, we highlight the presence of only 2 GB of video memory, a small set of connectors and support for no more than two monitors.
