@FoxEye A vega 56 can do 1440p ultra, and is under £300 so in your definition that is mid range as it competes just below a 1080 or 2070 especially if you flash a 64 bios to it and undervolt/overclock it, it can be level with those cards.

I bought a gaming PC in 1992 for just over a grand. Or rather it was bought for me as I was 12I guess it depends when the day was. In 1994 $3-4K was the value segment for those that couldn’t afford Pentium and SCSI.

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.The consoles are popular, and low hardware compared to dedicated GPU means the devs should be able to code effectively meaning you dont need a 2080ti for good looking titles i.e. GoW on PS4 is amazing.
Yeah they are absolutely rigging the market together I have no doubt about it. The roadmaps laid out for decades have proven to trickle stuff slowly rather than innovate rapidly.
Isn't that what I said? Vega 56 is mid-low and 2070S is mid-high.@FoxEye A vega 56 can do 1440p ultra, and is under £300 so in your definition that is mid range as it competes just below a 1080 or 2070 especially if you flash a 64 bios to it and undervolt/overclock it, it can be level with those cards.
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.Isn't that what I said? Vega 56 is mid-low and 2070S is mid-high.
So we're back where I said we were: mid-range starts at £300.
And Vega 56 is EOL. After it's gone we only have £400+ mid-range cards atm.
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.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.
We should stop this now, unless we are going to classify the tiers of gpus by ourselves.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.
Nobody is going to agree with that.
Anway we talk about Resolution+Refresh, not RES alone.
1440p/100+ is top of mid-range. 1440p/60 is not there.
I don't think V56 can do 1440p/100+ can it.
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.I think the majority will agree with me that TU-106 2060/S is not high-end.
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.I bought a gaming PC in 1992 for just over a grand. Or rather it was bought for me as I was 12
Under what classification is it a high end? What makes it that? Why not a radeon 7 ?Only the RTX 2080 and above would be high-end.
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.Well I was in my first IT job buying this stuff. It really was that expensive.

Of course you need to double these prices to account for inflation...

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?Its not high end....It thinks it is cause of its price....but its esentially the same speed as 2.5yr old gfx cards...So it aint high end...
