First of all, it is important to determine that all computers that need to display an image on some kind of monitor have a graphics card. It can be an on-board graphics card that is simply mounted on the motherboard. The alternative is the dedicated graphics cards, which are the type of graphics cards you will find in this category. Once you have come to the point that you need a dedicated graphics card, the question is how powerful the card should be. For example, if you need to use your graphics card for gaming — or to connect multiple monitors to your computer — a more powerful graphics card might be a good idea. The same applies if you work with heavier graphic work ala renderings and Photoshop work.

Graphics card manufacturers
There are many different brands that produce graphics cards – for example Asus, Nvidia and Gigabyte, all of which are cards that have been in the range at Refurb. The graphics cards are primarily based on graphics processors from the two largest manufacturers; AMD and Intel. It is also the hardware of these manufacturers on which all graphics cards sold at Refurb are based.
How to choose the right graphics card
A graphics card must be selected based on what you need your computer for. If you spend a lot of time on graphic work, Photoshop etc., a more powerful card with a little extra gigabytes (GB) is required and possibly a newer model. The same is often true for gaming, where your graphics card have to be as powerful as possible to make sure that the graphics card can keep up with new and older games.
