The current generation of computer technology gives you the ability to upgrade your graphics technology through the GPU as well as your computer speed through the CPU. In the computer tip of the day, we will go through why you might want to look at a GPU upgrade.
GPU Computing is CPU-Plus
Some GPUs have the ability to improve the performance of a computer system by 100 times the rate of a CPU. You might think that you would pay more for this power, but GPU upgrades are actually cheaper than CPU upgrades. If you are looking for green solutions, GPU upgrades are also more power efficient.
Integrating GPUs into Your System
Both PCs and Apple computers have the operating systems to implement GPU upgrades directly. PCs have DirectCompute and Apple computers have OpenCL. The new operating systems make incorporating a new GPU as easy as installing a new card into the computer.
The Uses of GPU
As 3D functionality and virtual reality become an actual reality to the mainstream computer user, GPU speeds will become just as important, if not more important than CPU speeds. Much of the computational rigor of these new technologies is encapsulated in the graphical output, and this is exactly what GPUs were set up to handle.
