"If gaming on a smartphone or gaming device has reached its limits, then the user has to invest some money in buying a desktop computer with better technical equipment or upgrading their hardware," Kopf said.

When the user already has a desktop computer, it is best to try out the games you want to play on it, see if the games can be installed, whether load times are acceptable, and do the games run smoothly on it?

If this is not the case then the screen resolution can be lowered, this procedure leads to games running smoothly most of the time, and if all these actions do not work, then the desktop hardware must be upgraded.

The German expert Kopf pointed out that the prices of processors and graphics cards alone are prohibitive, and if the user buys the components of a desktop computer in the form of single components, it may often be more expensive than a new desktop computer. The cost of this type of desktop computer is not less than 1,000 euros ($1,128).

When purchasing additional graphics cards, the user has the option to choose between Nvidia and AMD products.

In the case of playing games with Full HD technology, Nvidia graphics cards should be based on the RTX 2060 model (RTX 2060), and when AMD products are preferred, graphics cards should be used starting from the model. Radeon RX 5600 XT
