NVIDIA RTX vs. GTX - What Is The Difference? [Simple] 

Hey man anything is better than Intel HD graphics

Those scenes with people fake gaming just smashing buttons lol

PS: RTX means "out of stock" in Minecraft Enchantment Table

GT is the base version of the GeForce G series (theyre old but if u play minecraft u may as well get a 1030) Then we have GTS, which is an upgrade to GT (GTS is kinda outdated now - I mean, COME ON, when have you last seen a GTS card?) GTX is one step up (you see why the X is there? - I think it might stand for eXtreme) RTX has R instead of G for “ray tracing” (GTX cards dont have this feature on their hardware by default (this caused a lot of confusion in the comments), while all RTXs do) We also have a subgroup in the GeForce mix. These are the Titans. Some older titans are branded as gtx, some rtx. Some others have names like the titan X, titan xp (codename pascal) etc etc (With the release of 30xx series, the name Titan has been abandoned in favour of the xx90 desigantion. But you never know, they might make a comeback.) Then we have Quadro (which costs lots (QUADRO RTX 800 = $6K) and isnt really for gaming, its for MAKING GAMES) and why am i talking bout this bc its not a GeForce series lineup Edit- well this blew up

Them: *simple* Video: *12 minutes*

"not everyone can afford to buy $400 GPUs or more" Me: This is 2021. $400 is history

1:47. Wrong. GTX stands for GigaTexel eXtreme shader. It's an extension of the GT lineup, which stood for GigaTexel shader. RTX is Ray Tracing eXtreme shader.

5:57 I don’t know of a game that requires intense button mashing to walk down a hallway.

The difference is very simple one is way too expensive and the other one is way way way too expensive.

“RTX” has the R for Raytracing not just for some catchy name

GTX stands for Giga Texel Shader eXtreme and RTX stands for Ray Tracing Texel eXtreme, these are not a simple technology to understand by any means but the most basic difference between the two is that the RTX is specifically designed for performing Real-Time Ray Tracing.

4:05 what a toxic playe. lol....

9:36 it's impressive how the car can turn to the right when the driver is holding the steering wheel straight. I guess I need an RTX card for that

I'm more confused now than I was before I watched this.

RTX stands for Ray Tracing Texel Extreme and GTX stands for Giga Texel Shader Extreme. The abbreviations are basically what the Card was known for bringing GTX brought killer shaders and RTX brought Ray Tracing

I used to think RTX is simply a higher spec version of GTX. I had no idea they are different completely..

my broski really sticked the middle finger out on this one 😂4:05

Here's the simple answer: Ray Tracing.

Which series should you be looking at? The out of stocks series.

Title: *simple* Video: *12 minutes* Me: "something's wrong. I can feel it."

*so you're going to buy Nvidia graphics card* Me: I need to spend more time with my kidney

Why is Steve Urkel flipping off his monitor at 4:01 ?

Simple answer... RTX is more powerful than GTX Btw I am chilling with a gt

Don't mind me i'm just crying with my intel hd graphics

Simple difference: In GTX you cannot use ray tracing. But you can emulate simulate similar effects using mods that apply Rasterization. In RTX there are physical core that are there just for the ray tracing. no more no less.

The series RTX moniker has relevance to Nvidia’s implementation of of raytracing (RT) plus X factor in real-time game renderings in GeForce GPU. It was also part of the Quadro GPUs aimed for developers.

I love it how every video concentrates on gaming when it comes to GPUs. Nvidia pushed RT tech into their GPUs because gameing is not their only market. Along with gaming they are targeting video producers, VFX artists, 3D animators etc. who use software like After Effects, Blender, DaVinci Resolve ... that use ray tracing for better results but slow down rendering times and make real time view almost impossible.

That middle finger tho 😂😂

I would rather decrease the texture quality to increase Frame Rate

"RTX means nothing" RTX means Ray Tracing

This has been quite helpful. I wrote down a page of notes for further research, but have at least a base understanding of what these GPUs are now.

As a person with a RTX 3080 laptop and desktop, I've only experienced RT in the last year as I had a GTX 960M laptop for years prior to upgrading. It's pretty for sure but my rule of thumb is I need a minimum of 60 fps for a smooth experience. Thankfully my hardware is powerful enough to run most games with RT on at 60fps especially with DLSS. In Cyberpunk for example, i turned it on and off depending on the mission as sometimes I needed higher fps vs just cruising and enjoying the graphics. I can't wait till RTX is no longer a huge fps hit as it is nice to look at.

The difference between them is that they sound different and the similarities they both share is that I can't afford to buy neither of them

GTX and RTX have a meaning. GTX stands for Giga Texel Shader eXtreme and RTX stands for Ray Tracing Texel eXtreme,

Is one RTX 2060 card enough for gaming at high config or do we still need multi gpu in sli mode? I mean, is the multi graphic cards SLI still a thing?

1.25 so she speaks normally

4:06 never seen someone so excited about a kill

When I saw the ray tracing on minecraft, that was INSANE

Could you help me with choosing graphic card Is it good if I buy rtx 2060 Super for games and renders ?

People buys RTX* Also people playing only minecraft and among us in it* Me:- Bruh!!

I enjoyed your vid., ty! I'm running an RTX 2080 (yes the one before the Super was made available) and I find it a very capable card, I do use the ray tracing on a few games, Battlefield V for example, yet as pointed out in this review, a 1070ti would still carry you far. I'm a small time hot rod junkie so I got the RTX 2080 when it was new, and it is indeed a very good card; provided that your system is able to work to take advantage of this. I built another system which uses the RTX 2070 Super. I'm happy with the performance of these cards, yet dismayed by the cost vs AMD. I have tried an AMD RX5700xt card, and was very happy with it till it failed strangely. As a result, I stayed w/the Nvidia cards as the driver software is very good and these cards are primarily without any issues driver/performance wise. So, who's to know, it's like sports cars a bit, or the armor/outfits/skins you have for your toon in what ever game you like to play. Are you enjoying your time in game? In the end more attention to some things and less to others; or none to something else. Where does the lotus flower lie? In the hand or in the eye?

3:54 "Not everyone can afford to buy graphics cards that cost 400$ or more"

4:04 i loled so hard at that dude

so is RTX suitable for architectural programs or do i still have to get the nvidia quadro ? because the quadro is too expensive for me

The reason raytracing improves with DLSS is because DLSS reduces the resolution of your game hence significantly cutting down amount of work need to be done on raytrace part. Then DLSS upscales the image. DLSS is an AI like skynet btw only that it is programmed to only upscale images.

does this have an AMD counterpart? I really hope so. Thank you so much very well explained! :)

So if I want decent fps while having decent graphics while I play wow or overwatch I want to go for rtx over gtx?

what about the studio artist to use the rt service for 3D modeling and rendering?

The problem with Ray tracing is even if it would be common, average game studios doesn't have enough technology to do proper use of this technology

11:43 Well... Im an rtx 2060 6gb user from a legion 5 This is my first time having a gaming computer so the RTX graphics card really showed me how amazing the world of gaming is.. Having a gaming pc out of nowhere is a true blessing

Brilliant! This was so helpful to me! Thanks

5:20 But isn't that the most important thing? Just how fast the GPU can crunch through all the data and render the information sent by the CPU?

RTX and GTX do stand for something: GTX stands for *Giga Texel eXtreme* RTX stands for *Ray Tracing Texel eXtreme*

Thank you for explaining and helping me understand the difference. It looks like I’ll stick with the 16 series and then use the extra money to upgrade my cpu to a ryzen 9

nice video but why didnt you make your b-roll actual footage of the graphic cards in use ?

Question as a novice to everything computer wise, I’m planning on having two monitors set up running at 1080 P on one monitor it will be one game and the other monitor will be either RU-vid or some other type of video playing the games are relatively soft meaning that they don’t require much. Would I be able to use a GT16 series at a high-end or would a RT20 series at a low end be recommended?

I’m using both a GTX 1660 Super and RTX 2060 Super FE. Love both cards. NVENC is the biggest reason why I went with The 16 and 20 series cards; I replaced (returned my 5600XT) for the 1660 Super and even though it was not as powerful the experience was better for Twitch streaming. Still 90-100fps on COD Warzone and no complaints. Now with the 2060 Super I can max out all settings with RT and get around 120fps avg. looks beautiful. Do I need the performance of the 2060 Super over the 1660super ? No. The regular 2060 is just a hair better than the 1660Super. But why did I get the 2060super?!? Hell I don’t know. I liked the Founders edition I guess lol

Yo I love this channel it helps me so much!!! Thanks for the tips

i am new to this. have a 24 inches 1440p resolution monitor, do i really need a 8k gpu like the rtx 3050 or the rtx 3060 or it would be a waste of money because my monitor is just a 2k resolution? plz help.

So when I look at those on amazon. They give me brands like MSI. Are those Graphic cards that right one for PC's. Or do I actually need to go to the store for them

The difference between rtx and gtx is in the name itself the difference is the R and G

It's right that GeForce RTX 2000 series will not be useful now but it will be very useful in the coming years. In the years to come, each game will support RTX and these cards will be useful For a long build , that is, for 5 years

Means which one is better on graphics?

The channel delivered the context and topic in an excellent manner, even better than that linus tech quicky channel, subbed

Got a rtx 2070s runs control on max with ray tracing well at 55fps average with dlss and 45fps w/o. Tested in other games, similar results close to 60fps or above. Not a lot of games use it now but I’d say it’s pretty stable and a good future proof card.

im pretty happy whit my 1650 actually. Once NVIDIA come out whit the next gen of gpu il probabaly at that point pick up a rtx 20 series.

No-ones talking about the dude at 4:08 😂

4:04 I love when the guy immediately delivers a middle finger into a AI XD

I always thought that the R on RTX stands for Ray tracing and G on GTX stand for gaming, wow

YOLT MAKES IT SO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU’RE SPENDING

This was very helpful in my picking of a laptop today. Thank you for making this video. Cheers.

what would be a good graphics card for 4k gaming? looking for higher than 60fps i have 1660 super right now.

That (simple) made me click the video

Now I am confident that I am confused..... Even more.

Thank you Very well done and demystifing. Much appreciated.

What is good for editing rtx or GTX And what version do I use?

I enabled ray tracing on my 1660ti (mobile) for Battlefield 5 and it dropped my frame rate from 88 to the mid 60's on Ultra.

I just wanted to say thanks for existing this channel is very awesome lots of helpful stuff, things that a lot of people don't talk about or know how to explain well. Helping me build my Intel pc.

listening music in parallels and it is sync with the video... perfect

4:07 that middle finger xDD

NVIDIA GTX & NVIDIA RTX What Is The Difference? Me : Price?

GTX = Gigatexel extreme RTX = Ray Tracing Extreme

So what do I buy?

Why does the 1600 series not have tensor cores?

"In a couple of years..." nah couple of months

GTX 1080 TI was the RTX 3090 of its time. Even today it’s still a beast of a card

Nice video! I have no idea what I just heard, but nice video.

What's the budget intel graphics Card

1:40 i think rtx actually stand for ray-tracing something, and intel's i3 stands for Itanium version 3.

I’m building my first pc and I’ve just beniged a whole day of this and I understand a pc so much more

I'm looking to upgrade from the GeForce GTX 1050. Would the GTX 16-series be an ideal upgrade, and if so, what processor would be ideal for that. Info on motherboards and compatability too?

I recently bought a 2080 super and I'm just a working man. Started with a $400 5700xt but the drivers are sooo bad that almost any newer game would crash at some point. Had everything updated and tried multiple drivers too, but still would crash. Returned and got money back, decided to go team green and didn't want to downgrade in performance. Everywhere I looked 2070 Supers were sold out so that left 1 option. Worked a bunch of overtime for a few weeks and decided to buy something I've always wanted, a great GPU. Bought the ROG Strix and it didn't disappoint, although it did cost me $780. Damn near silent playing almost any AAA game, never hit temps over 64, and fans never went over 51%. GPU tweekII makes overclocking real simple and I can monitor or record any spec in real time. It is pretty large but the RGB goes with my RGB build as well. I bought it cause I wanted to game on my 4k TV at 60fps, 120 fps for 1440p and so far works like a charm. I did try Ray Tracing but I did lose significant performance. It will only make sense to turn on in the future when more games come with both Ray Tracing and DLSS 2 to offset the performance drop. It is the most stable, high performance graphic card I've ever had. It will allow me to activate gsync too when I upgrade to a LG oled in the future too (gotta work that overtime again). The only downside is that none of the 20 series RTX cards have a HDMI 2.1 port on them which is necessary for 120fps on 4k, and the newer ones coming out this year will. The LG oleds have a 2.1 so should I have waited for the newer graphic cards? Maybe, but they will probably be crazy expensive and real hard to find when they first come out, not to mention I never like to be the "beta tester" for new drivers that haven't been tested wide-scale yet. If they perform well, I'll consider buying one in a year or so when they come down in price and have been thoroughly tested with easy to find performance specs available online. Until then I'll enjoy playing my games on ultra settings in 4k.

8:42 SHE'S HACKING THE SYSTEM! QUICK, ISOLATE THE MAINFRAME!

Fan of this channel due to specific detailed information

great explain it help me know much

SO WE AINT GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT 4:05 DAMN MY MAN

Tensor Cores power AI. It's that simple. AI can help with AA, but it can also make for amazing AI components and dynamic content.

I thought that rtx was for “ray tracing”

Whatever the resolutions & core's, GPU's don't seem to be clocked to real time just yet. It gets worse if your getting something in the Hope's that it would have higher frame rates for VR rendering the bigger the resolution & number of features enabled, the more the current technology's frame rates will suffer.

Are they using a Xiaomi air purifier to pass off as a PC case at 8:13?
