Not a bad time investment when, in terms of performance gains, it’s probably the most significant change to your PC you can possibly make.Īnother difference from changing the CPU is that it’s easy to install a GPU when the motherboard is already inside the case, so you won’t have to disassemble your rig to upgrade it. There’s some light screwdriver-wielding required, but even so, upgrading your graphics takes should only take a few minutes.
Unlike when installing a new CPU, there are no manufacturer-specific sockets to worry about here, as all graphics cards are designed to fit into the same PCIe slot that’s present on pretty much every motherboard. And even the most morose estimates don’t suggest this dearth will last forever, in which case: welcome, RPS readers of the future. Or maybe not – it is technically possible, if annoyingly rare, to grab one of the best graphics cards of the current generation before a reseller or blockchain enthusiast snaps up ten of them at once. Right now, there’s a graphics card shortage the likes of which have never been seen, and thus the knowledge of how to install a new GPU has only slightly more relevance than knowing how to parallel park a griffin.
