2 problems make it many PCs

A graphics card (likewise called a video card, show card, graphics adapter, or screen adapter) is a growth card which creates a feed of output images to a screen tool (such as a computer monitor). Regularly, these are marketed as discrete or dedicated graphics cards, emphasizing the distinction in between these and integrated graphics. At the core of both is the graphics processing unit (GPU), which is the primary component that does the real computations, however should not be puzzled with the graphics card overall, although GPU is frequently used as a metonymic shorthand to describe graphics cards.
The majority of graphics cards are not restricted to simple screen output. Their incorporated graphics cpu can do added handling, removing this task from the central processing unit of the computer. For example, Nvidia as well as AMD (previously ATI) created cards that provide the graphics pipes OpenGL and DirectX on the hardware degree. In the later 2010s, there has actually likewise been a propensity to utilize the computing abilities of the graphics cpu to solve non-graphic tasks, which can be done through using OpenCL and CUDA. Graphics cards are made use of thoroughly for AI training, cryptocurrency mining and also molecular simulation.Usually, the graphics card is made in the form of a printed circuit card (expansion board) as well as inserted into a growth slot, global or customized (AGP, PCI Express). Some have been made using dedicated units, which are attached to the computer system through a docking terminal or a cable television. These are called eGPUs.

Anyone who now wants to gamble at a decent level, who needs fleet hardware. But current it is as complicated as never before to get a strong gaming setup for the PC. Because in addition to the high prices, mainly Windows 11 makes users difficult.

Good hardware for computer has never been cheap. But in the current situation where graphics cards are sold for thousands of euros on eBay, it is so complicated as never before, for halfway fair prices to be able to gamble reasonable.

Because who now wants to buy hardware for his gaming PC, must reach deep into the pocket.

But the alternative also to put on old and cheap hardware does not look very good. For who hopes to come through the coming years with his old hardware, which will fail earlier or later on the conditions for Windows 11.

For graphics cards you have to currently pay at least 400 euros and more

This is the problem: At the moment, neither AMD nor Nvidia has published a graphics card for little money. Both manufacturers are currently looking forward to buyers in the mid-range area.

Currently you have to spend at least 400 euros or more for a new graphics card:

You get AMD s Radeon RX 6600 XT, the currently smallest Radeon graphics card, for at least 420 euros. The prices are now more than 500 euros.
NVIDIAS GeForce RTX 3060 officially starts at 329 euros, but prices are also at least 650 euros.

For many users, the prices for graphics cards are simply too high. Many also wish graphics cards for budget gamers. Because many users do not want to spend more than 300 euros for a graphics card, which is difficult for the current time.

This does not only apply to us buyers in Germany, but especially for countries where people can not spend so much money for gaming. People in countries like India or Brazil prefer payable rather than powerful graphics cards. The main thing is you can still play current titles with the cards.

Many hope for it now: Especially AMD was known to be able to put pressure on Budget graphics cards with an excellent value for money NVIDIA in the beginner area. Many are now hoping that Intel brings powerful graphics cards to the market under 300 euros and forcing AMD and Nvidia to rethink.

Windows 11 forces user to put on modern hardware

This is the problem: Windows 11 mandatory requires Trusted Platform Modules 2.0 (TPM). Especially older processors do not support TPM 2.0, but often only TPM 1.2.

You can also install Windows 11 on an old PC, but you do not get any security updates if your outdated hardware uses. This should not be an alternative for users in the long term who also regularly use your computer online.

This also affects computer hardware that you can currently easily use your gambling that is officially supported by Microsoft. Also AMD and Nvidia had now explained that for older graphics cards no official support for Windows 11 will offer.

If you are currently setting an older graphics card or an older processor, Windows 11 is likely to make a dash through the bill.

So in the future you also want to install Windows 11 on your computer, then you have to buy either new hardware or a new computer. So you are more or less forced to put money in new hardware.

At least there is a slight all-clear here, because at least you can use Windows 10 until 14 October 2025 Windows 10: because only then ends the official support of Windows 10 by Microsoft. Maybe until then the hardware scarcity has calmed down or NVIDIA and AMD bring halfway cheap graphics cards on the market.

There are alternatives? An alternative would still be to buy a next-gene console, at least the current situation can be bridged reasonably reasonable. But PS5 and Xbox Series X are barely buying somewhere. At least the Series X you can buy up to date and worth it quite if you want to gamble:

We reveal you, for whom buying an Xbox Series S is worthwhile
