New Graphics Card Releases & Expected FPS Improvements

New Graphics Card Releases in the Current Generation

For a gamer, a new graphics card release in the going-on generation is like a extreme-level good news. They consider this release to be more beneficial, more smart, more optimized than the previous one. Because of these reasons, they prefer to upgrade to this version, and somehow the manufacturers target such users by adding the pain points in their commercials, in their marketing strategies and catch the attention of all the gamers.

For example In most of the cases, a error in previous version is promised to be finished, but in reality the new release previous problems are slightly reduced but cannot be properly finished. It is because of one physics law, which is “Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another”.

If we are giving the electrical energy to our graphics card and generate some beneficial outputs, some of the energy is wasted in heating up, some of the energy is used in making the decision, some of the energy is used in processing, so the result is that the output is never 100%. You can expect 60%, 70%, but not more than 90% because of the above mentioned physics equation. It states that the efficiency of a system cannot be 100%, the output is always less than the input. New launches create excitement in the FPS related gaming communities, especially for those who are playing AAA games, Battlefield, Championship, competitive games.

GPU Generation	Target Resolution	Average FPS (FPS Games)	Performance Tier
Older Gen GPU	1080p	60–90 FPS	Entry-Level
Mid Gen GPU	1080p / 1440p	90–140 FPS	Mid-Range
New Gen GPU	1440p	140–200 FPS	High-End
New Gen GPU	4K	80–120 FPS	Enthusiast
Flagship GPU	4K	120–200+ FPS	Ultra High-End

GPUs target different market segments, by their one product, they wish to target the whole market, every type, every level gamer, mid-range, high-range, so they introduce different versions of the same graphics card, one with the little specs, other with the normal specs, and the last one with the higher specs. Basically they give different pricing so that everyone can buy and their profit margin will be more than 2x to 3x. In modern cards, modern releases, the cards are highly optimized just because of the artificial intelligence, they give high refresh rate gaming, ray tracing, AI-based upscaling, and many other. All other details are discussed below, so keep connected.

Architectural Improvements and Impact on FPS

Different architectural changes in new graphics cards translated into real-worlds are more likely to increase the frames-per-second rate. Changes like increased CUDA, cores are shield units, improved clock speeds, better cache systems, and enhanced memory bandwidth, in simple terms, these are the main reasons behind a well performing system. Modern architectures design cards in such a way that they process frame rates faster than ever before.

Modern cards are more efficient and can do multitasking at once. This is possible only because of the artificial intelligence. Reduced latency and better parallel processing benefits the fast and real upgrade in the FPS system. Due to this system, similar tasks are grouped together and performed, processed, and rendered at once.

While the tasks, which are quite different, are then performed with the help of logic circuits/logic gates created. This makes a different sense to perform multiple tasks at once and the task repeated will be handled more efficiently. New GPUs handle complex environments, particle effects, and lighting without significant frame drops because they have the programming so well-organized that makes all the drawbacks and limitations set back to the boundary.

Expected FPS Gains When Upgrading from Older GPUs

Actually, most of the gamers have wrong expectations from the updated graphics card. Most of the gamers think that the company will design such a thing that it would be useless to buy a new graphics card next time. But actually, it’s totally wrong and it is a myth because a manufacturer never ends its business. Every time they design a graphics card, they leave any mistake/error/problem.

Due to this mistake, the next version of their current generation graphics card is sold. This is basically a marketing technique. You can compare the graphics card of different generations, but in every generation, you will notice one bottleneck and that is the actual thing why people are continuously thinking to switch to another one. Upgrading mostly improves the FPS and is consistent too. Also the stuttering and frame drops are also visibly reduced with new GPUs. That is a very good thing and a plus point infact.

Key Factors That Influence FPS Improvements

• GPU architecture improvements

• Higher core and boost clock speeds

• Increased VRAM capacity and faster memory

• Better driver optimization for new games

• AI-based upscaling technologies

• Improved cooling and thermal management

• Enhanced ray tracing and shading units

Performance Differences at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K

Different graphics cards are performing good at different resolutions. Some are good at 1080p, some are at 1440p, and some are at 4K. This totally depends upon the system and other conditions too. 1080p often benefits the CPU and balances GPU. Not very much power is consumed, but at least more than 720p is consumed, while 1440p and 4K rely heavily on GPU power, which makes the system a little bit slow.

Upcoming GPUs are optimized for the 1440p and 4K FPS gaming, because of this if we use them at 1080p, they will give some limitations, some bottlenecks, but when used at 1440p, they will be totally okay. Higher resolutions demand more VRAM, processing power, more hardware specifications, and many other. So, do use the resolution which best suits with your hardware.

Conclusions

My last opinion is that do not every year jump to a new graphics card, but take a break and after 2-3 years switch to a new Graphics Card. This will help you in enjoying the full benefits. In most of the cases we notice that every update has some limitations these are not unintentional but it is a marketing strategy due to which the users/consumers every year wish for something new and more Enhanced.
