Keep in mind that when we talk about a mid-range gamer computer it’s not the same as a midrange computer. I mean I’m talking about a computer prepared to play heavy games, with elevated graphics, so the evaluation is much more demanding. A mid-range gamer PC can run any current heavyweight game, but may have limitations in high graphics levels in some cases. There is the key point. That’s why those who want to build a mid-high, high or extreme gaming PC are because they are thinking of playing any game in high to extreme graphics.

 

Graphic cards according to price

With around $ 100 we can buy a graphics card to build a low-end gamer pc . Being video cards will allow you to play almost all games, but those that are from the last two years, you should play with minimal graphics possibly. Of course, if you buy a graphics card for around $ 50, do not claim to have a PC gamer. These last ones, will serve you but to play games a few years ago, with low graphics and possibly with some problems with several of them.
Between $ 100 and $ 250 is the bulk of the most bought graphics cards by gamers. These include video cards from mid-low to medium to medium to high.
With around 125 dollars we can get a pretty decent graphics to play all the games, including the current ones, although we will have to download most of the graphic effects at medium levels and some minimal at the heaviest games.

With $ 175 we can get video cards much more powerful , some with a performance high enough to play smooth games in medium to high graphics , bearing in mind of course a very good processor to back it up.

Finally, between $ 175 and $ 250, we get mid-high-end graphics cards, which allow gamers to play mid-high or high gamers, and can play almost any game with high graphics. These latest video cards are the most recommended for anyone wanting to build a very powerful gaming PC .

Between 250 and 400 dollars we find high-end graphics cards , some mid-high-end models with a plus of video memory allow you to exploit your performance a little more. These video cards ensure you play quietly any game with high graphics , including the most current and heavy ones. Of course they also allow most games to play in extreme graphics, if they contemplate the option.
With over $ 400 we have the extreme graphics cards for those gamers who want the best of the best. An extreme gaming PC allows to play any game with extreme graphics , of course with an extreme processor and a large amount of RAM . Usually those who buy these video cards are very demanding gamers who often play on multi-screens and with graphic effects to the maximum. We can find video cards of $ 400 and $ 500, and some $ 5000 or more, whose performance brushes the absurd, I mean, it’s too much.

These last video cards are the Nvidia Quadro , which if you check the ranking of the table you will think its price / performance ratio is ridiculous . The point is that these graphics are intended for comprehensive 3D professional use; that’s why even though they are graphic monsters, their performance in games may be less than an extreme video card designed just to play games . By this I mean that to build an extreme gamer PC , you do not need to spend $ 5000 or more on an Nvidia Quadro, but you should look for, for example, an average $ 750 Nvidia GTX .
