NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES
From £469, nvidia.com
Just as the PS5 and Xbox Series X made a big show of catching up with – or even surpassing – the PC, Nvidia swoops in and changes the game completely with three new HDMI-2.1supporting graphics cards packing some serious, serious power upgrades on board.
A lot of it isn’t even graphics related: you get things like extra-fast SSD access, throwing serious shade at the PS5’s loading times. Even the lowest-end £469 RTX 3070 surpasses the previous top-end 2080Ti, the RTX 3080 (£649) adds new super-fast GDDR6X memory and a stack more cores, and the flagship RTX 3090 goes absolutely nuts, with 24GB RAM, over 10,000 CUDA cores, and the ability to play RTX-rendered games at 8K. Granted, it’ll cost you an eye-watering £ 1,399, but it might be worth it to be a generation ahead.
