What’s the point of “gaming” PCs? I just realized there’s no difference between an ultra high-end PC and a “gaming” PC so I don’t see the need for a difference.
Bbbububuututt RGB
For god’s sake just add RGB and other high-end components to a normal PC or just swap the case. BOOM! Gaming PC.
What exactly is the definition of gaming PC again?
A gaming computer [sic], also known as a gaming[ sic] PC, is a specialized personal computer designed for playing video games at high standards.
We have generic GPUs with performance that is on par if not far better than RTX in terms of gaming, we have generic RAM sticks with higher capacity, we even have non-gaming hardware that outperform said “gaming” hardware. Hell, I would fucking argue you can make a sick monster build for less money.
But no. Thanks to capitalism pestering everything we love literally millions of gamers flock to anything labeled “gamer” without really looking into whether not that “gaming” hardware they’re about to buy is actually good or not.
Now gamers end up wasting thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars just to find something that looks “gamer-y”
I mean if you want to make a custom PC that looks like a “gamer” one (with RGB and shit) just have the RGB on these only:
- Keyboard
- Mice
- Case fans
- light strips in the fence;
but at the end of the day it’s fucking pointless to call it a “gaming PC” since it’s just a super-powerful computer with high-end hardware.
End of rant. Period.
Not really sure what you mean. RTX is mainly just high-end Nvidia cards. If you want the highest performance with Nvidia you don’t really have a choice and need to use RTX cards, or you can go with AMD, but the difference is mainly branding (although I would still always take AMD). I would say the opposite gaming GPUs are much better than the professional ones. If you are working on machine learning or anything else that requires heavy computation, buying RTX cards is much cheaper than buying specialized HW for it (Tesla, Quadro, etc.). That is something that deserves much more criticism because in professional setting you are often forced to buy them, because of license agreement with Nvidia.
Capacity is very rarely the issue, the frequency is much more important, especially for gaming. Would it be nice if we could buy high frequency, high capacity, ECC RAMs for consumer PCs, sure, but there is no such product.
Not really sure what you mean, there are not many things other than CPU/GPU and maybe RAM that determines gaming performance.
Not that I am disagreeing with you on the overall point, but I disagree on your specific points. The main issue here is that basically almost everyone who actually builds their own PC is doing it for gaming, or maybe gaming and some work.
Btw, what do you mean by “high-end software”, Windows?
I never said shit about software.
Last sentence, maybe you meant hardware?
Oh yea
