Looking at the specs of my current card especially the 384-bit part it seems to dwarf most. The GTX1080 is only 256 bit :/

How important is that number?

Don't compare the previous generation with the new.
 
Reading all these comments, it seems to me that 2gb on a 1050Ti is more marketing than usefulness. Now I wonder about those 8gb 1080s?
 
Seems like the integrated graphics on the Skylake architecture may meet your needs, including multi-monitor support. It will also allow for the most compact build.

As an aside - there have been several burglaries in my area lately. One thing that they do not touch are computers in large cases.
 
I still want someone to explain Bit to me.

How does this relate to ram?

How does graphic card relate to systems ram

Why is system ram DDR4, but cards is ddr5?

I wish I can just swop with someone, I have a good AMD CPU and AMD motherboard.

What I want is intel.

As for what I use it for.

I live inside Jetbrains so that is primary one and brakets so Ram is more important especially for the VMs, but I also make use of Inkscape and the whole of Adobe expect for video and music editing.




At 100K for the mac eco system I have to pass, that money is better invested on the JSE.

I wish Apple wasn't so expensive or I could rob an incredible corruption, because the guy up stairs knows I want a mac so damn badly!

If you are not going to do any gaming or any video editing you might as well go for any of the low profile nvidia graphics cards available. They usually use the minimum of power and the video ram and graphics processing is almost not applicable to your general usage.

I do not think think Adobe is considered general usage.

in short 'bit' refers to the width of the memory bus.. how this translate to performance is the below equation:

Clock x width(bit) = performance (bandwidth)..

so I should rather look at the Gb/s of each card

Mine is 4008 MHz x 384-bit

Not a bad number
