MSRP is just a bullshit number with no meaning at this point when even vendors themselves are fucking greedy scalpers…
I’m never going to be able to get a new graphics card. :')
What card do you currently use?
EDIT: forgot to add that I’m a 1080p gamer since 1440 and 4K are more demanding.
I currently have a 2080ti that I got all the way back in 2020. It’s been a fantastic card, but with some of these newer games, I’m struggling to get an even 60 at the least.
I’m sure that’s largely in part to developers/publishers not even remotely trying to optimize their games.
I’m lucky enough to play mainly all the older games in my Steam library, so it will last me a few more years I’m sure, but the sooner I can upgrade (at a reasonable price) the better so I can not worry about it for another 5 years. :’)
So I had a 2070 in mine, and updated last year to a 4070ti. I’m not going to lie to you here, the difference hasn’t been earth shattering. I mean it’s obviously better, but if you are gaming in 1080p, you should still be good for a bit yet. Games are released so horrendously optimized anymore, it doesn’t matter if you have your own personal nuclear power plant powering a video card the size of Texas, it’s still going to suck.
That’s what I was afraid of. I was hoping to at least get a big generational upgrade.
I’m going to wait and see how AMD handles this new GPU, and if it continues to be available in a few months at a good price, I might consider moving to them since nvidia is more focused on fake frames.
Sigh… PC gaming used to be a little more accessible. :’(
“Quietly”
They still show the old prices, but charge the new ones?
/rant Even with a press release or something, people say stuff happens quietly, just because the info wasn’t beamed directly into their heads.
The same MSi that refuses to carry AMD cards because NPP eh 😅
Missing ROPs and all!
Years and years ago (yes I’m old) you could add memory to graphic cards, maybe this is the next step.
