      Don’t worry. They stopped unless you have an order for 200,000 units. My GeForce 1650 has gotten me through some tough years. I sure hope I have the opportunity to affordably upgrade next decade.

      Unless you’re trying for the AAA “BESTEST GRAPHICS EBAR!” you don’t need a super powerful video card anymore. There’s many games, much better too, that don’t require that much hardware to run.

        Big true. I’m obviously not doing any raytracing but it still ran Cyberpunk. And it DLSS is turning out to be bunk but AMD’s FRS algorithm helps with a lot of stuff

            Yeah so many production companies are trying to incentivize you to buy shit.

            Unless they’re using Unreal Engine 5, them they just have no idea wtf they’re doing and you’ll have to read online how to edit the options ini to make it run

        my 2080 (that I think is 5 years old??) is just smashing all the steam games I can throw at it.

          We don’t need raytracing, fake frames, top tier graphics that’ll look obsolete. TF2 is still going strong and it sure as heck isn’t a graphical powerhouse. In fact one of the reasons it’s so popular is it’ll run on essentially a toaster of a computer.
