NVIDIA Titan RTX Graphics Card

This product was recommended by Kate Diaz from Swanky Den

If you have the budget for it, Titan RTX is an outstanding option with its 24GB of Ultra-speed GDDR6 memory. You can expect it to come in handy if you need to edit 8K videos or those with very high resolution. It can also handle complex special effects and 3D rendering with ease. On top of that, it comes with a higher clock frequency and more CUDA cores than other video cards, which improves its overall performance.


AMD RX 5500 XT

This product was recommended by Kate Diaz from Swanky Den

AMD RX 5500 XT is a great option for bot mid-range and entry-level, making it an excellent choice for video editing. This next-gen video/graphics card from AMD with its 8GB of GDDR6 memory, is capable of handling high-end transitions and effects you’re editing. If you’re looking to perform large-scale 3D renderings most of the time, it’s better to opt for something like the Nvidia Titan RTX. However, at under $200, this is already a remarkably excellent choice and easily exceeds some of the video cards on the same price point.


GeForce GTX 980 TI

This product was recommended by Yasir Shamim from PureVPN

It’s a 6GB card, newly released. It has blazing benchmark scores and takes advantage of NVIDIA’s CUDA technology for super-efficient rendering when it comes to video editing, video special effects, and coloring. I know I would definitely want to edit on a card like that.
