What GPU do I need to play at 1440p?
For smooth 1440p gaming (60-100+ fps in AAA titles) you need at minimum an RTX 4060 Ti or RX 7800 XT. The minimum recommended budget for a full build is around €900-1,100. The RTX 4070 Super is the most balanced option for no-compromise 1440p at ~€1,400.
Is there a bottleneck between my GPU and CPU?
Bottleneck depends on the specific GPU/CPU combination, resolution and game type. In our per-GPU analysis section you can select your graphics card and see the bottleneck percentage with each available CPU, along with a final verdict.
Mac or Windows in 2026 — which is better for me?
It depends on your use case. For programming and everyday use, Macs with Apple Silicon (M4, M5) are extraordinarily efficient and long-lasting. For gaming, Windows with a dedicated GPU has no rival. For video editing both compete: Mac wins on portability and efficiency, Windows on raw price-to-performance. Our use-case guides help you decide based on your specific situation.
How much RAM do I need in 2026?
16 GB DDR5 is the reasonable minimum for any use in 2026. For gaming and web development, 16-32 GB is plenty. For 4K video editing or local AI, 32-64 GB makes a real difference. On Mac, unified memory is more efficient: 16 GB on Apple Silicon is roughly equivalent to ~24 GB on a conventional PC.
