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. :’(
