Modern Nvidia Graphics Cards?

Post by SilvaDalek »

Since I'm gonna be traveling a lot, I've decided that I can drop a few computers and possibly an old Xbox in order to consolidate to one super laptop.

Nvidia lost me at the 9000 series because that's the last time I purchased a computer. Now they are back in the 100s and 400s and I have no idea what any of them are or how good they are.

So at this point I am completely lost about how much is reasonable to spend on a graphics card, or what the difference in performance would be between a lksdjhfdksfh and two kjdsflwdh's.

If someone could explain to me some stuff about the modern Nvidia graphics cards on the list of available options on this link it would be greatly appreciated.

(the price of getting the highest vs the lowest graphics did not used to be a matter of $1400, I usually get the best when I can, but with prices like these I'm reconsidering some things lol)

OP: All of those cards are nearly top of the line for NVIDIA, so any one of them will do. I'd recommend, however, not getting the Quadro card since it is generally used in servers, and I highly doubt you need server-level graphics processing.
