Funky Kit Article - Video Cards Explained

Ever wonder what some of those video card terms were but were afraid to ask??  Funky Kit has you covered.

Everyone wants a video card with more ram, a faster frequency, more cuda cores, more stream processors, but do people often know what all of these things actually do? To most they are merely things you compare from one product to another in order to make a relatively informed decision, while not fully knowing what they are for. Sure a 950mhz core clock speed sounds good with 2gb of 5000mhz ddr5 ram, but what does that mean when comparing it to something on a completely different architecture? Read on and you will find out.

Of course some of the terms in this article seem to be self explanatory but it is still a good read if you were ever curious about what a stream processor really is.
