I really needed this, I left my gaming days back over 15 years ago. Now I'm 30 I wanna get back into it lol I got no idea where to start.

0:23 “...GTX cards and RTX cards, both of which are followed by 4 numbers”

Me with my 750Ti: 😯

[Chiken]

Thank you so much, this is so easy to understand

[mng]

We’re probably gonna see some QTX in the future, “Q” for Quantum.

Noted:

In the RX series,
- The two digit number of the variants is the old style of naming, and for example the rx 550, 560, ...., 590 is basically similar to the prev gens, which is the 4th gen.
- The triple digit number of the variants is the new type of naming, so that you can differentiate between them.

what i thought it was:


RTX: Ray Tracing
GTX: Gay Tracing

Why do you have so few views, likes and subscribers?

Good Video quality, good audio, good visual effects, good voice and generally good content.
Keep it up bro!

[crystalfemmes]

Finally a video that explained the model numbers.
I'm still~ a little lost now as to what I need for my gaming setup, but I'm in a much better place understanding which is "better" than the other. Much appreciated!

[mohsin]

subbed. simple. no peculiar term used, easy to understand. nice presentation.
carry on.

[owuzone]

Wow! Thanks for putting in the time. **Double Thumbs Up**

[mahmutdikcizgi]

Protip: RX actually means R10 (x:10 roman alphapet), it is the successor ox r9, r8 and so on, the R should stand for Radeon i guess, not sure though

[anthonycoffey]

Im just starting to venture into PC gaming & have no clue what im looking at with all these different types of components. This helped tremendously.

[Keplxr]

Ti means Titanium which has weight of aluminum, strength of steel but cost of almost gold.
I love my chemistry.

[randywetzler]

Nicely done! I haven't built a new computer in like 15yrs. Getting ready for a new purchase or build so this is great info.

[k_geokin]

even though this video is 2 years old, i still found it very helpful (after watching several other 15+ minute videos) THANKSSSS

[prod.halfnhalf]

This guy is possibly making this the simplest I have heard so far and in only a couple minutes. nice job 👍

[arhalimi]

Dear Andrew .. tQ very much for your explaination on the nomenclature of the GPU's .. your explanation is very clear, made clearer with the consistent graphics that came along .. i am currently building the specs for a games PC for my daughter and your video has helped a lot - again tQ - from Malaysia.
stay home, stay safe Mr Host

thanks for explaining this, I went from a console gamer to a full on pc gamer 2 months ago and had no idea what I was buying except that the parts were commpatable with each other. I got a EVGA RTX 3050 graphics card with a Tuf gaming b560m w/ wifi motherboard and i couldn't be happier.
