Graphics Card Buyer's Guide (Mid-2017)

- I've compiled a rough graphics card list below, categorized by expected gaming resolution and refresh rate. Requirements for each category are a steady 60 FPS for a majority of current titles in an equivalent 'ultra' graphical preset. I'm certain there will be discrepancies; but in my testing, I've found these to be the most appropriate card + resolution recommendations.
