NVIDIA, which has not lost the first place in the development of graphics processor technologies for a long time, literally took 2022 by storm. Introducing the most powerful models of the new GeForce RTX 40 series to gamers before the end of the year, as well as the strengthened versions of some members of the GeForce RTX 30 family, NVIDIA surprised the technology world once again with innovations such as DLSS 3. So, how about finding out which are the five best NVIDIA graphics cards that left their mark on last year?
1. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
Continuing its tradition of giving the names of scientists who made significant contributions to the world of science to the architectures of the graphics chips it developed, NVIDIA this time appeared on the scene with the GeForce RTX 40, named after Ada Lovelace, known for her mathematics and general-purpose computer studies. GeForce RTX 4090, which holds the title of being the most powerful graphics card ever offered to end users, can run many games at 120+ fps at 4K (2160p) resolution and the highest graphics settings. Let’s add that the huge physical dimensions of the 26 GB GDDR6X memory card, as well as its extreme performance, were talked about a lot last year.
2. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
GeForce RTX 4080 with 16 GB GDDR6X memory, which came to the rescue of gamers who could not obtain the GeForce RTX 4090, whose international price was set at 1599 dollars and which was quite expensive in Turkey due to taxes, although it whetted the appetite of game enthusiasts, became a great alternative for those who wanted to play their games in 4K resolution. The RTX 4080, whose physical dimensions are not far behind its big brother, was undoubtedly one of the best graphics cards of last year.
3. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (12GB)
It’s clear that NVIDIA has been a little slow in expanding graphics card memory sizes. But fortunately, it started to correct this mistake by updating some graphics card models and adding high-capacity memories to new ones. One of these was the original GeForce RTX 3080 model, which was released in 2020 with 10 GB memory. GeForce RTX 3080 (12 GB), which was not only a memory update but also expanded the memory bus along with the memory, gained 256 CUDA cores and 8 more texture mapping units, thus showed almost equivalent performance to the 3080 Ti at 4K resolution and won the appreciation of the gamers…
4. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
Unlike the graphics cards in the first three places, which are quite fast but put a bit of a strain on the wallet, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti was considered one of the best graphics cards of 2022 with its price and impressive performance. GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which is able to push itself above the 60 fps limit even though it is not enough to play every game at 4K resolution with the effect of its 8 GB memory, made those who built new systems and those who want to renew their existing graphics card happy.
5. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (GDDR6X)
The renewed version of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti model with GDDR6X memory , which has no alternative for gamers with a limited budget who spend more time playing competitive games and do not expect 4K resolution, especially pleased those who are on the eve of a system update. The card, which does not contain any changes in the basic hardware but provides an increase of 3 to 5 fps in every game thanks to the transition of its memory from GDDR6 to GDDR6X, was one of the best of last year.
