Nvidia’s 3070 GPU offers once in a decade price/performance improvements: a 3070 offers 40% higher effective speed than a 2070 at the same MSRP. Given the widespread issues AMD users are facing with 5000 series GPUs (blue/black screens etc.), it is unlikely that AMD would have posed a rational threat to Nvidia’s market share this year. Nvidia’s price cuts are likely related to upcoming console updates. The seven year old hardware in both the Xbox One and Playstation 4 is due an update later this year. Whatever the motivation behind Nvidia’s price cuts, Christmas has come early for PC gamers who can look forward to an unparalleled gaming experience in class leading titles such as Cyberpunk 2077. At ultra settings, with ray tracing enabled, Cyberpunk 2077 redefines the boundaries of immersive gaming. It makes GTA5 look like Tetris in comparison. The combination of RTX+DLSS delivers stunning graphics that are several tiers higher than both AMD's best discrete GPUs and the upcoming consoles. In terms of real world performance, Nvidia’s 3000 series has more or less put AMD’s Radeon group in checkmate. Nonetheless, AMD’s marketers are capable of delivering elaborate BS albeit whilst struggling to keep a straight face. Their marketing infrastructure outsold Intel in the CPU market despite a 15% performance deficit. Without an appropriate social media marketing strategy, Nvidia will probably lose considerable market share, for all the wrong reasons. [Oct '20GPUPro]
Integrated graphics found in NVIDIA chipsets, mostly from Apple. The GeForce 320M, though outdated, can still put up a fair fight against graphics cards like the HD 6450. Overclocking is easy and very good on this iGPU, making tasks like watching YouTube a lot easier.
Benchmarks:
Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion (1280 x 800 medium 2x)
~ 40 FPS
GTA V (540 x 400 normal no shadows)
~ 30 FPS
Minecraft 1.17.x (Fancy, 8 chunks, optifine)
~ 50 FPS (Bottlenecked by CPU)
Unfortunately, these are usually paid with low-powered Core 2 Duo's.
