I have a non ti 1080 and every subsequent generation seems to have been worse with everything from firmware issues to actual fires.
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.
this is the new normal... only way to fight is to squeeze the most of what you got, don't feed the troll
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.
What? When did they say that? I just bought a high-end AMD card and it's wicked fast.
They said, about a month ago, that their 8000 series GPUs won't have a high end option, only low and mid tier.
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.
Poor Volta
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.
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.
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.
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?
Stalker is right there and needs it
Give the modders six months.
I'm letting Stalker 2 bake for a while.
you can run stalker just fine with a $350 3080 from eBay.
I mean the Steam recommendations list a RX 6800 XT. That is not too crazy!
Ya, but like play it. Geforce Now has issues running it lmao
His jacket annoys me more than it should.
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.
Turma da Mônica type shit
“Divorced” vibes
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.
What if we put a bunch of Legos on the floor around your bed while you slept?
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.
Anyone who has a 4090 more than likely already has an HDR monitor.
Otherwise, what are they doing?

What’s considered a good “hdr” monitor?
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.
Should I worry about the brand that much or just go with OLED + HDR combo for whatever I can find in my budget?
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.
I'm using a 55 inch LG C4 as a monitor
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.
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.
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.
This is extremely based
$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.
Not just an AI company, then.
It is, don’t use Nvidia cards for gaming the p2p isn’t worth it
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.
Oh whatever will we do if line does not go up forever????? Do not worry, line will surely keep climbing!
