Hi, welcome to CasekingTV. We thought it´s time for a graphics card update.
Not only because we offer many new brands, also technology is always in change.
Newest brand is named VTX3D, Vertex3D.
Find it on the right side, but more on this brand later on.
What are the differences in modern graphics cards ?
First of all the power. Yo can find graphics cards starting from 20 to 30 Euro in our shop,
of course intended for office use. But you purchase cards up to 500 to 600 Euro.
The money goes of course mainly in the graphics cards power.
How can i see how much power it has ? First of all the chip.
We start from low cost chips for office use up to 560, 570,580, 590 GTX chips at Nvidia,
also at AMD starting from office use chips up to the 69XX chips.
Mostly it´s single GPU cards, like GTX 570 and 580 for gaming on Nvidia,
on AMD 6970. 6990 would be two 6970 chips. GTX590 two GTX580 chips on NVidia.
One easy to see difference is the graphics cards length.
Normally you can judge on that already, that the graphics card has more power than others.
As an example have a look on a GTX560 and a GTX570.
As you can see 570 is a bit bigger. The 580 would have the 570s length.
You can assume that it might have more power, which is in this case.
Which brands do we stock ? On NVidia it is EVGA, Point of View, Gainward, Zotac and Palit.
Of course we stock all the graphics cards these companies offer.
On AMD we offered so far XFX and Sapphire. New brand we offer is VTX3D.
What is VTX3D doing different ? On first sight you can see quite a different cooler.
While all other brands go more for a black design, the 6950 of VTX3D is all red.
completey red, big heatpipes, a big block across the whole card.
VTX3D exclusively brought to Germany by Caseking most the times bundled with a game.
At the moment Dirt 3, but this might change anytime.
Many of these cards you might also get with other coolers.
E.g. Point of View offers watercooled editions. Others offer passive editions and some with silent coolers.
But we also offer our King Mod Service. This means we offer preinstalled bundles for you.
Fitted with watercoolers from aqua computer, Watercool and EKWB.
Some with the Peter from Alpenföhn which might be used passive or with individual fans.
Huge variety in special solutions from Caseking. Pretested and full warranty.
Always remember ... nothing is standard at Caseking.
What should you buy ? This depends on two things. Your money and the game you want to play.
For office use you need to invest between 50 and 100 Euros, you might even be able to play some old games.
If you wanna play new games you will need a GTX560 or a 6850/6870.
These cards were said to be needed for medium details in a big new game.
So, if you want high details, you need 570 to 590 or 6870 up to 6990.
With this high details shouldn´t be a problem, but one need to watch game requirements on new games.
Better buy a bit more expensive, so you don´t need to care next 1-2 years, else you probably need to buy a new one next year.
Another option for upgrade would be second card to do Crossfire or SLI, if your mainboard supports these features.
Imho it´s better to invest a little more money and then wait a bit longer for a new one.
I hope its easier now for you to choose which card to buy.
Hope to see you again soon.
