These video cards received good reviews from users and specialists. The popularity of the models presented in this section is caused by a good ratio of characteristics and cost.

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650 D6OC 4G

The exclusive cooling system created by the manufacturer is a radiator and an 80 mm fan with an original impeller blade profile. Such design features guarantee effective heat dissipation, high speed and practical temperature control. The 170mm graphics card fits easily into any miniature case. The volume of air in this zone is dissected by blades of a special profile with a ribbed surface, which makes it possible to increase the strength of the air flow. The appearance of the power supply subsystem based on power CMOS resistors with low resistance during switching (RDS value - on) allows the main elements of the VRM module to operate in a practical temperature mode. Steel core chokes save energy much longer at high frequency compared to basic ferrite core chokes. Therefore, the energy loss in the core is significantly less. In addition, it turns out well to reduce electromagnetic interference.

The fully automatic manufacturing process ensures the reliability of the printed circuit boards and minimizes the possibility of sharp protrusions of the solder slots located on the surface of the printed circuit board.

Ergonomic design eliminates the possibility of cuts or accidental damage to the elements during the creation of the system.

Average price: 29990 rubles.

The best video cards

At the top of the ranking are three powerful graphics cards that are great for virtual reality systems and the most resource-intensive games. Here are the video adapters that use the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX20xx chips. All of them are made on a modern 16-nm process technology.

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GAMING OC 8G (GV-N307TGAMING OC-8GD)

The cooling system of this model - WindForce 3X - consists of one 80mm and two 90mm fans with exclusive blades (the fan located in the center rotates in the opposite direction), as well as 7 heat pipes made of copper, and a large radiator from the same material.

The direct contact of the heat pipes and the base of the heatsink with the GPU, as well as the 3D Active and Screen cooling technologies successfully implemented by the manufacturer in this model, guarantee effective heat dissipation, high performance and the most favorable temperature regime. Among the features of the video card, it is worth highlighting the adjustable color scheme parameters, 16.7 million shades of colors, a lot of lighting effects and pairing the adapter with other gadgets of the AORUS series.

The rear surface of the PCB is covered by a metal plate, which properly protects the structure and the elements soldered on the card from mechanical impact, for example, when the adapter falls, and also minimizes bending and twisting loads.

In quiet mode, the fan noise is very low. To activate a certain mode, after switching, you need to restart the PC. OS mode is enabled by default. An external power subsystem design based on low-resistance CMOS RDson power transistors balances the load on each transistor during switching, which allows the main elements located in the VRM module to operate in the most practical temperature mode. High quality chokes and capacitors certified within the Ultra Durable program guarantee incredible video performance and extended operating life.

Average price: 149,990 rubles.
