Like any piece of expensive technology, a top-of-the-line graphics card comes with all manner of lingo and abbreviation. You'll need a glossary to wade through the stuff inside (processors, CUDA cores, ROPs), the speeds measured (memory bandwidth, boost clocks, TeraFLOPS), and the results you want from a good card (anti-aliasing, frame rates, higher resolutions).

Thanks to Nvidia's newest products, the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti, that required glossary is only getting bigger.

The two biggest companies in the space, Nvidia and AMD, take different approaches to various GPU elements (and those approaches further differ in the realms of lower-cost and heat-efficient GPUs). But at the very top of the heap, Nvidia rules. And not by a slim margin.
