So there is..

GeForce?
Nvidia
EVGA
Radeon
RTX
GTX
MSI

Who is who etc? can someone help?
 
Solution
Nvidia and AMD makes the actual chips used on the GPUS. For Nvidia they name their card wither GT, GTX, or RTX. AMD uses the RX/Radeon name.

Although AMD and NVIDIA do release there own 1st party brand cards EVGA, MSI, ASUS, Sapphire etc are all partner companies that work with Nvidia and AMD to make cards with there own various designs and cooling.

As far as being compatible. with modern systems in the last 10 years there shouldn't be in issue other then power supply requirements.


If you are looking to upgrade your computer just list your PC Specs, CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Power-supply and what you want out of the upgrade along with a budget and we can help you pick a card that's good for you.
