    My Nvidia cards anytime anyone suggests I should “upgrade”.

      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.

      I still have a computer with a 980 ti, and I haven’t played a single game that doesn’t run on ultra.

    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.

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

          With how well AMD APUs are doing in regular PCs and the Steam Deck, I see it as a way for developers to standardize their game optimization like they would on consoles.

    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.

          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?

    $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.

    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.
