Top 5 Performance Video Cards
Want to know one of the fastest changing areas in PC hardware? That's right - it's in video graphics cards. These cards are needed to run the latest 3D video games, as well as video and graphics applications. For those of you who want screamingly fast video that will blow the covers off your competition, you've come to the right place.
I've compiled a short list of the meanest, fastest and most powerful 3D video cards on the market as at June 2011. If you own one of them, well - lucky you!  Several of these models are actually not very costly. Given the amount of graphics horsepower they provide, they are certainly value-for-money. If you're into 3D video games or do a lot of video editing, you definitely should consider having one of these cards in your arsenal to take the video processing load off your CPU. |
 | EVGA 01G-P3-1563-AR The EVGA 01G-P3-1563-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti superclocked video card sure has a long name! It also supports multi-GPU configurations thanks to NVIDIA SLI technology and drives a full 1080p HD display for great looking 3D games, movies and pictures. There's 1 GB of the latest GDDR5 graphics memory, as well as full Microsoft DirectX 11 support. |
 | MSI N560GTX GeForce GTX The MSI N560GTX GeForce GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II/OC video card delivers a next generation gaming experience. It contains 1 GB of GDDR5 video memory, DirectX 11 and supports 3D Vision Surround technology to provide 3 monitor output simultaneously and a real 3D image experience in SLI mode (which requires compatible 3D monitors and 3D glasses, of course) |
 | Sapphire 100312-2SR The Sapphire 100312-2SR Radeon HD 6950 Video Card features the latest graphics technology from AMD to support Microsoft DirectX 11 and DirectCompute 11. It comes with GDDR5 memory and ATI Eyefinity technology which maximizes your field of view across up to three displays. |
 | Galaxy 80XLH5HS8GUX The Galaxy 80XLH5HS8GUX will give you some of the fastest graphics performance you'll ever see. Its next generation architecture delivers incredible gaming performance at maximum resolution and quality settings. There is also high-speed 32x anti-aliasing to smooth edges of images, support for up to 3-way NVIDIA SLI technology, as well as the NVIDIA PolyMorph Engine. The PolyMorph Engine is a geometry processing engine built from the ground up for DirectX 11 tessellation, enabling incredibly detailed game characters and terrain with blazing performance. |
 | XFX HD687AZNBC The XFX HD687AZNBC Radeon HD 6870 Black Edition video card comes with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, AMD CrossfireX multi-GPU support, along with various AMD graphics technologies like AMD EyeDefinition Graphics, and AMD HD3D. It's also the first graphic processing unit to deliver full support for Microsoft DirectX® 11 - resulting in rich, realistic visuals and explosive HD gaming performance. |
Conclusion
Buying a good performance video card will reap many benefits - you'll be able to play the latest 3D games in full screen glory, as well as edit video and graphics with ease.
However, please take note that having a good video card does not necessarily translate to great video performance. Factors like your CPU, motherboard and system RAM will come into play. For example, having a XFX HD687AZNBC video card installed in a old AMD or Intel system will definitely not give you the desired video performance you seek.
Now go do some research and buy that dream video card!
