As graphics technology and gaming continue to evolve, there hasn’t been a better time to start thinking about upgrading your GPU.  

Therefore, our team of PC experts at Overclockers UK has decided to compile this guide on everything you need to know about the latest NVIDIA RTX 30 series. Detailing all the jaw-dropping integrated technology, comparing previous GPU series, and our top recommendations!  

So, sit back, grab yourself a brew, and let’s get to it…  

Why Should I Upgrade to a 30 Series GPU?

The latest generation of graphics cards by NVIDIA is at the bleeding edge of technology. Expertly engineered to deliver the ultimate gaming experience for gamers and creators alike.  

Utilising the brand-new NVIDIA 7nm Ampere architecture, these GPUs take advantage of a combination of 3rd Gen Tensor and 2^nd Gen RT cores to provide you with unmatched performance at every turn. Paired with the integrated streaming multiprocessors, unlock mind-blowing photorealistic images and ray-traced graphics. Perfect for creating a truly immersive gaming experience in all your favourite titles.  

What’s more, every GPU in the 30 series comes equipped with a plethora of cutting-edge features designed to enhance your performance.  

Real-Time Ray Tracing:

Ray-Tracing intelligently simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce realistic, cinematic graphics. NVIDIA’s RTX 30 series come equipped with dedicated RT cores to deliver maximum ray-tracing potential for immersive gaming.  

A few examples of the games compatible with RTX include;  

• Minecraft (Windows 10 edition)
• Cyberpunk 2077  
• Battlefield 2042  
• Fortnite  

and many more!  

If you want to see how jaw-dropping your games can become with RTX enabled, take a look at the video down below! 

NVIDIA AI DLSS:

Thanks to intelligent AI-specialised Tensor Cores, NVIDIA’s 30 series graphics cards feature AI DLSS to enhance your favourite AAA titles with accelerated image rendering and quality. You can sit back, crank up your settings, and enjoy tear-free gaming.  

NVIDIA G-Sync:

The latest in display technology, NVIDIA’s G-Sync offers ground-breaking smooth refresh rates. By working with your GPU to eliminate input and tearing, your games will notably appear sharper and smoother, providing you with a distinct competitive edge.

It is important to note, that you need to ensure that your monitor is compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync, and you have it enabled. 

NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC):

Integrated within every NVIDIA graphics card, is its own dedicated video encoder designed for streaming and content creation. By taking the strain off your CPU, more processing power is freed up for the intensive tasks. This means you can focus on delivering your audience a show-stopping performance.
