Ray Tracing and Path Tracing with Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD GPUs
Ray tracing and path tracing are supported by all modern graphics cards – including RTX 5000, RX 9000, and Intel Arc. Dedicated ray tracing cores deliver extremely realistic shadows, lighting, and reflection effects. Path tracing is an advanced form of ray tracing that further improves these effects, although it is also significantly more demanding on hardware.
Which Graphics Card Is Right for Me?
The right graphics card depends on your needs and requirements. Here is a quick overview of common gaming scenarios and suitable GPU recommendations:
WQHD Resolution with High Presets and at Least 60 FPS
For 1440p gaming with high graphics settings and at least 60 FPS, an RTX 5070 / 5070 Ti or an RX 9070 XT is recommended. These models offer enough performance headroom for modern AAA titles at high detail levels.
With AI upscaling technologies such as DLSS, FSR, or XeSS enabled, additional performance gains are possible. This also allows an RX 9060 XT or an RTX 5060 Ti to deliver solid WQHD gaming performance.
Full HD with 100+ FPS for eSports Titles
For games like League of Legends, Fortnite, and similar titles, an Intel Arc B580, an RTX 5060 Ti, or an RX 9060 XT is already sufficient. These graphics cards provide high frame rates with fast response times.
Especially in competitive gaming, stable 100+ FPS are crucial. Low latency and consistent frame times ensure a precise gaming experience.
4K Gaming with Ultra Ray Tracing and Path Tracing
Gaming in 4K or 5K resolution with maximum ray tracing and path tracing settings is currently only realistically achievable in most games with an RTX 5090.

Graphics Cards for Workstations
Workstation PCs have different requirements than gaming systems. Demanding AI applications and content creation software require especially large amounts of VRAM. Graphics cards specifically designed for professional workloads, such as the RTX PRO 6000 or Radeon AI Pro R9700, offer greater stability, improved drivers, and ECC support.
Graphics Card FAQ
AMD or NVIDIA?
AMD currently offers the best price-to-performance ratio, while NVIDIA graphics cards provide superior AI upscaling and ray tracing performance. However, NVIDIA GPUs are often significantly more expensive.
Is DLSS 4.5 better than FSR 4 Redstone?
Definitely yes. DLSS 4.5 delivers sharper image quality, runs more consistently, and can generate up to five additional AI-generated frames thanks to Multi Frame Generation.
Which graphics card is suitable for VR gaming?
For VR gaming, a graphics card with at least 12 GB of VRAM is recommended. Depending on your target resolution and graphics quality, an RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT is the best choice.
Which graphics card is suitable for 4K gaming?
For 4K gaming with high graphical detail, we recommend an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 if you want full ray tracing performance. With upscaling and optimized settings, an RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT can also handle 4K gaming well.
Which graphics card is suitable for WQHD gaming?
The RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT deliver strong WQHD performance with high graphics settings even without upscaling technologies.
Which graphics card is suitable for Full HD gaming?
For Full HD gaming, an RTX 5060 Ti or RX 9060 16 GB is sufficient. For higher settings, an RTX 5070 or RX 9070 is recommended.
What is the difference between DLSS 4 and DLSS 4.5?
DLSS 4.5 is the latest version of NVIDIA’s AI upscaling technology, adding or improving various features, including Multi Frame Generation x6. Learn more in our blog.
