[Hardware] The Best Graphics Cards for 4K Gaming in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

[Sprinter]

Thanks to streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and even YouTube, it's finally getting easier to find actual 4K (also referred to as Ultra HD) video content. But, as awesome as 4K video looks, if you're aiming to immerse yourself in a pixel-dense world, it's hard to beat playing cutting-edge games in 4K. And from a hardware perspective, that's a much more daunting prospect. Only the latest consoles—the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro, the Microsoft Xbox One X, the PlayStation 5, and the Xbox One Series X—are capable of rendering games at 4K. Though these consoles can run games at 4K, they don't always do so with the best graphics settings. If you really want to enjoy the best graphics possible by modern-day games, you'll need to buy or put together a powerful gaming PC, and for that the PC graphics card you buy matters—a lot. What follows are the very best graphics cards for 4K gaming that we've tested for 2023. Following that, we've included a helpful guide demystifying several terms and ideas surrounding the graphics processing space to help you make an informed purchase.

Pros    Cons + Ferociously powerful for a single-GPU card    - Pricey + Power consumption is relatively low for this level of raw GPU performance    - Almost impractically enormous + Usual exceptional Founders Edition build quality    - Raw power appears, at times, to bottleneck a Core i9-12900K CPU

Nvidia has been a driving force in the PC graphics industry almost from the company’s founding. Its first graphics accelerator wasn’t a major success, but that card was very much an outlier—far more often, its new graphics cards(Opens in a new window) offer big performance gains or push forward the industry as a whole. So, when we hear Nvidia say something like “Ada (Lovelace) provides the largest generational performance upgrade in the history of Nvidia,” we sit up and pay attention. Determining the absolute accuracy of that statement is tricky without carefully combing through old product offerings through the decades. But having now tested and reviewed our first new card based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, we can say it might well be true. The performance gains inherent in Lovelace are clear to see in Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition: They are enormous, and if this isn’t the company’s single greatest generational performance jump, it's close. The card's $1,599 price may seem extreme, but so is this mega-card. For now, nothing else even comes close to it, so long as you are playing relatively modern games at 4K resolution.
