Gaming PCs

It is curious that the demands for multimedia and game playing at home drive much of the technology in the PC industry. In particular, fast action games with beautiful high-resolution graphics require the latest technology. In fact, companies that design games distinguish themselves by taking advantage of this technology in their games.

To distinguish a good game, stunning graphics are required, highly detailed and with realistic shading and flesh tones. A good example is this drawing of Adrianna Curry done by NVidia. Now imagine a game in which characters this well drawn are involved in fast action on a large, high resolution screen. To make this action look good, several things are required. Among them are: a fast processor, lots of fast memory, a fast disk drive, a fast graphics/video system, and a fast high-resolution monitor with accurate colors.

Of course compromises can be made. In fact, the games themselves provide multiple levels of support for different resolutions, different levels of detail, different speeds, etc. This allows the games to look as good as possible on whatever hardware is available. Different games do this differently, and as a result some games look good on a particular gaming PC, while others don't look as good.

Fast action can look blurred on a high resolution monitor if the monitor cannot refresh the images fast enough. This is a common problem with many monitors. A frequently-used compromise here is to lower the resolution displayed by the monitor in order to play the game.
