Ever wondered what computer part you should upgrade but didn't know the performance increase or what benefits it will give ? Well you have come to the right place ! Computer Hardware can be mixed and matched (mostly ) creating thousands of combinations so if one upgrade improves the performance for one PC , it might not improve your computer as much. The jargon for this is called a “ bottleneck ” . This means that one or many components of your PC is restricting the computer achieving its max capabilities. In the image above, it shows the vast difference in performance during a gaming session. The bottleneck side shows how the specific components of the computer aren’t using their maximum capabilities. The GPU is not being used to its full potential , at only 50% which means there is another component bottle-necking the system. In this case it is the CPU which is being stressed at high usages whereas the GPU is “ relaxing ”. For this scenario , you...

Welcome to the first post of Tech Talk where out first battle will roam on the grounds of Graphic Cards. A long debated topic in the computer industry is between the main two competitors : AMD  Nvidia Today I will discuss the best and worse of both companies and maybe  give you  an insight on your next video card selection. Nvidia and AMD have both been at a knives edge for competition and both offer an array of graphical options for you to indulge in ! Nvidia offers their Pascal line up of series 10xx GPUs with a choice for everyone from those who opt for a lower end choice such as the GTX 1050 whereas other will love the graphical horsepower of the GTX 1080ti and Titan XP however they are hinting to release their Volta line up of 11xx video cards. AMD are equally able and can offer you a selection from th...
