Buying a graphics card for PC gaming

The most vital component of a gaming rig is the graphics card. This component can make or break a gaming PC. I recommend that you don’t skimp here and never buy a cheap card. Go for a mid-range card at least. At the same time, don’t be tempted to feel that you must go for the fastest, most expensive card on the market. The top-end cards command a premium price and are nice if you can afford them, but I’d never recommend going into debt for one.

Also, always, always install the latest drivers. The drivers that come on the disc or with Windows are old before you get them. Download the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s Web site for best performance

Video cards are the highest priority. Having the wrong video card can mean that a game doesn’t play well, or doesn’t even play at all!
