I bought a gaming PC in 1992 for just over a grand. Or rather it was bought for me as I was 12
I'm glad someone else sees that. It's become pretty obvious imho, give amd the consoles, keep the mid to high end to nvidia, the low and mid to amd again, the consoles for the kids and the easy gaming crowd, and streaming for the casuals and cash strapped.
Isn't that what I said? Vega 56 is mid-low and 2070S is mid-high.
I have always aimed for around £500 for a pc since my 486dx 40 and if i didn't upgrade the entire system it would be £500 for a few of things like MB cpu and ram, or gpu, or monitor and ram e.t.c until recently when it started at £500 for a MB case and cpu and then £500 and then £500 and then £500 adding more to it it's got outta control now im a grown upI bought a gaming PC in 1992 for just over a grand.

Those 3-4K figures are ridiculous.
I think it was '96 when I built my first custom PC and that was way less than a grand.
I'm that old I was around back then
1440p ultra is the top of mid range, hence £280, hence vega. An rx 590 would be mid range as it can still do 1440p with high settings.
I'm sorry but if you define V56 as the very top of mid-range than you are saying that 2060S and 5700 are high-end.
We should stop this now, unless we are going to classify the tiers of gpus by ourselves.
They will agree that, until you ask them to make a decisive list of what requirements a low mid and high card should have, at which point anyone could shatter that with a different card suggestion.
Well I was in my first IT job buying this stuff. It really was that expensive. Hard drives were particularly pricey. The 486SX was cheaper though and popular for budget gaming.
stuff like the 1070 and 2060 are 1080p cards IMO ( The 1070 aint a 1440p card at high settings, worn the T shirt) These will do 1080p at a push and run office
Under what classification is it a high end? What makes it that? Why not a radeon 7 ?
That's not a fair comparison. Corporate IT tends to spend waaaaay more than consumer prices on stuff. At least they do at our place. £700+ for a basic laptop (no GPU, low-wattage CPU). But then we're government and we like to get shafted as much as possible on every purchase.
So the 2080 and radeon 7 being as fast as the absolute top end of top tier the 1080ti , is now suddenly a mid teir?
