Video Card Shopping Tips: Why Memory and Clock Speeds Don’t Matter NCIX Tech Tips
Today Linus explains why the clock speed and amount of memory or “MB” on your graphics card pretty much shouldn’t have any impact on your purchasing decision. He also explains which factors ARE important.

@DAVERUKY no you dont
i need 10 gigs of vram to store my 1080p porn clips!
no offense to linus but I think this is a very stupid thing to say. Its like saying number of cpu cores and clock speed doesnt matter. Its not that simple and nothing is when dealing with computers. Ive been fixing PCs since I was 17 and every single spec affects how good or bad the computer will run. Although in the video it seems like he is correct however Id like to know exactly what settings he is running. It just doesnt seem correct in my experience. Just my opinion.

@TheOneAndOnlygab195 Yep. and well most video cards now only have 2GB but only the high video cards have like 3-4GB and not everyone can afford those. Like me i have a 6950 with three 23 in monitors.but gonna crossfire soon tho.
@FPSAssassin1 Well theoretically yes its enough. Just that ideally you’d want to have more then 2GB for three full HD monitors.
@TheOneAndOnlygab195 Why is not enough??
@TeamMCserver Yes it is enough:)
@TeamMCserver 3 monitors at 1080p? hell no!
is 2GB enough for eyefinity?
I walk into my room to buy a graphics card
Thank you Linus.
Compare the graphics card by the numbers

@TheCJism yup, you pretty much answered yourself
@blackrack2008 Yeah, that does make sense, but what about when we doe eventually get gddr5 RAM and faster motherboards, but I guess by that time we’ll have gddr10 graphics cards with 10 Gb of VRAM with 12, 25 MP screens
@TheCJism because it’s much slower than GDDR5, and can you imagine all the video data transiting through the motherboard to the ram and then going back ?? It’ll end up slowing everything down to shit
Well then why don’t games just push the rendering over to extra computer RAM rather than just VRAM?
@KillahMate THANK YOU! Finally the comment that I was looking for, looks like i’ll go sli with my 1GB cards with no worries. Many thanks again!
