A gaming computer (also gaming PC and gaming machine) is a personal computer that is capable of playing modern hardcore video games. Gaming computers are very similar to conventional PCs, with the main difference being the addition of a performance-oriented video card and larger amounts of RAM. Gaming computers are often associated with enthusiast computing due to overlap in interests. However, while a gaming PC is built to achieve optimum performance for actual gameplay, enthusiast PCs are built to compete against each other for the highest possible performance figures, using games as a benchmark. The difference in optimum performance and maximum performance carries with it a large discrepancy in the cost of the system. Whereas enthusiast PCs are high-end by definition, gaming PCs can be subdivided into low-end, mid-range, and high-end segments. Contrary to the popular misconception that PC gaming is inextricably tied to high-priced enthusiast computing, video card manufacturers earn the bulk of their revenue from their low-end and mid-range offerings.
