I reckon most people choose PC or console (or both) based on 1) what their friends have 2) what games they like to play 3) backward compatability with existing games and 3) how much they value the convenience of consoles.
I mean, surely it's not affecting the sort of GPU which would go into most computers? I think it's only quite a small proportion of people who'd spend more than a couple of hundred quid because they have a massive screen or want to turn everything up to ultra.
I seem to be able to play quite a lot of modern games acceptably at 1080p on my work laptop which an Intel integrated graphics thingy, for example.

- ben-schaaf 9y agoFor "a couple hundred quid", especially when you want to save on a free-sync display, the RX 570 and RX 580's are right in that price range. If sold at MSRP. But now these 170-250usd cards cost 2-3 times as much. I hear its a similar situation now with mid-range nvidia cards.
