Its hard to think of a good analogy here without sounding completely mad, but here goes.
So the core differentiator between a good gaming PC, and a great gaming PC, is the how much effort has been put into balancing the capabilities of the CPU / RAM / Graphics.
Like a mind > body > spirit type situation … CPU / RAM / Graphics need to be in balance. Otherwise somewhere in the chain performance is being wasted (or limited).
No matter how you look at it, a gaming system breaking this three way balancing act translates into money spent poorly.
Your graphics card is basically a miniature PC inside your PC. It has its own computational core, cooling and RAM just like the gaming PC it sits inside.
However it can only process the data into pixels on your screen, as fast as it is being fed data by the combined efforts of the CPU and RAM.
Ideally your graphics card is as close to a 1:1 processing ratio as possible.
This would mean your graphics card can process the data as fast as it is being fed, no more, no less. It’s this exact engineering outcome that the console designers (both XBOX and PLAY STATION) have achieved in their systems.
PC gaming has more freedom in system design than the consoles. However it is important to avoid a “feast or famine” scenario with your graphics card. This is where all three of the core components… CPU / RAM and graphics, all need to have a similar level of performance in order to get the highest and most consistent framerates out of tour system.
Over (or under) investing in your graphics card will have the largest impact on the overall gaming potential of any gaming PC. Avoiding a “feast or famine” scenario as best as you can yields the best results.
