> tricked out desktop (intended for gamers, I think)
Generally this is just a marketing/SEO thing. A huge percentage of desktop hardware and accessories get the word "Gaming" slapped on the front even though they have nothing to do with gaming. Keyboards, mice, mousepads, headsets, speakers, monitors, cables, etc.
- foobarian 5y agoUnfortunately these days it seems to be the only way to get a Nvidia 30x0 GPU. (By getting a pre-built computer).
- amatecha 5y agoIndeed, I know a few people who have been holding out for months and months to buy a GPU on its own.. and they have settled for just purchasing a whole prebuilt system because they're sick of waiting. Pretty frustrating all around :(
- rossdavidh 5y agoPrincipally, I think "gaming" now means "graphically high-powered". If you are going to be word processing, internet browsing, etc. then this is not as important and may not be worth the cost. So the desktops with a beefy GPU, etc. get called "gaming" as a shorthand for that.
