My Nvidia cards anytime anyone suggests I should "upgrade".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I have a non ti 1080 and every subsequent generation seems to have been worse with everything from firmware issues to actual fires.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I'm still rocking my Zotac 1060. I might as well ride that thing into the ground at this point.

5060 will be $1999

Jensen can keep his GPUs, the way AAA gaming is going I'll be playing indies for the foreseeable future or playing on console. I have evolved into a patient gamer. It also has the advantage that if I want to see some theorycrafting I won't be swamped with youtube suggestions about pronouns or diversity. I'm not starting to use an account, I'm not American nor am I a conservative google, stop trying. I'm fine with different looking people in my games telling different stories. Also, TLOUII was one the greatest games of all time.

That headline sounds expensive for us gamers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

this is the new normal... only way to fight is to squeeze the most of what you got, don't feed the troll

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not to worry, discrete GPUs will likely go away completely within a few generations.

That headline is not directed at us gamers.

Now that AMD is supposedly out of the high end graphics card market, it seems like high end gpus are going to go for a fun pricing range.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What? When did they say that? I just bought a high-end AMD card and it's wicked fast.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They said, about a month ago, that their 8000 series GPUs won't have a high end option, only low and mid tier.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But rumours also say that RDNA 4 will be somewhat of a half-assed generation and that they're putting resources in something maybe called "UDNA" instead, which will compete at the top end.

That's crazy! But cards are so fast these days it doesn't seem like you need a high end model anyway. My machine with a 980 ti can still run everything on Ultra, except for VR which it runs on medium.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

A lot of newer AAA games rely on ray tracing and AI upscaling to even be able to properly render at 1080p . This is their way to make up for developer's shit hardware optimization and insistence on investing in diminishing returns for graphical realism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think a lot of games these days are keeping low powered devices like the steamdeck in mind. I think we are heading for igpu only for gamers and all the dgpu resources are going to go towards AI.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

checks Team Fortress 2

500+ fps

checks PCSX2

60fps locked and stable

checks Elden Ring

....it works, we'll put it that way

I'm good. What good is a $3k graphics card in a generation with no games?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Stalker is right there and needs it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Give the modders six months.

I'm letting Stalker 2 bake for a while.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

you can run stalker just fine with a $350 3080 from eBay.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean the Steam recommendations list a RX 6800 XT. That is not too crazy!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ya, but like play it. Geforce Now has issues running it lmao

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

His jacket annoys me more than it should.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Management always wearing the same thing in public appearances is fucking weird. Steve Jobs, Zuck, Todd Howard, probably more I just haven't noticed. It's like they're trying to be cartoons.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Turma da Mônica type shit

“Divorced” vibes

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I already have a 4090 and I'm going to buy a 5090 and there's nothing any of you can do to stop me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What if we put a bunch of Legos on the floor around your bed while you slept?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I would buy it from my bed using my phone and then summon my cats to bat the Legos away. I am unstoppable.

Random Tangent: I rather buy a nicer HDR monitor with that money. HDR Gaming is where it's at. SDR looks like washed out, dim dogshit to me now.

I offer an alternative to people who want nicer graphics: consider an OLED HDR monitor. HDR has like no performance impact but looks 10,000x better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Anyone who has a 4090 more than likely already has an HDR monitor.

Otherwise, what are they doing?

I'm using a 55 inch LG C4 as a monitor

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Then buy a bigger and newer TV. Do you have any screen burn-in? We have burn-in on our LG 65" OLED from playing Diablo 3.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just replaced my old 48 inch C1 with this TV because of burn in. Was able to return it to Costco and get all the money back and put it towards this new one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Damn, you got lucky! They told us to contact the manufacturer. They didn't do anything. So we called the warranty company for the extended warranty that Costco sold us and they just refunded the warranty fee. Now we just deal with it. We paid $3300 for this thing, so we're in no hurry to replace it. The same size is only $2k now, but that's still a lot of cheddar. We have the 65" C6.

What’s considered a good “hdr” monitor?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Preferably an OLED monitor (or TV). Either wOLED or QD-OLED. Both have strengths and weaknesses. I have a wOLED.

If not that, a high end miniLED.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Should I worry about the brand that much or just go with OLED + HDR combo for whatever I can find in my budget?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Sites like rtings.com and tftcentral.co.uk have pretty decent measurement methodology. Probably best to stick to LG and Samsung but I can't say for certain.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

This is extremely based

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

$3.3 billion dollars seems like it should be more than fine, but I guess that's why I'm not a greedy business CEO.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

The real reason not to worry is that they have so much money coming in from AI bullshit that they don't care about gaming anymore.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Not just an AI company, then.

It is, don’t use Nvidia cards for gaming the p2p isn’t worth it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh whatever will we do if line does not go up forever????? Do not worry, line will surely keep climbing!
