Jon Peddie Research, which has provided in-depth research on all things PC gaming for years, is predicting that the industry will suffer through some tough times before a return to growth is set to arrive in 2025.
This growth isn't for every aspect of the PC gaming market, though, and mid-range hardware is expected to drop off in the long-run, with high-end and low-end components experiencing a decent uptick.
As gamers gravitate towards better display options, this will lead to more demand for high-end parts, according to JPR, and as for the lower end of the spectrum, the new player in the Intel Arc A770 and older AMD cards are helping gamers on a budget get the performance they want.
Whether JPR's predictions will hold true remains to be seen, but as we've seen so far in Nvidia and AMD's reluctance to bring out the mid-range cards of their latest series', it seems possible that mid-range GPUs especially could begin to be left behind.
