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.

[–] USSEthernet@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What? When did they say that? I just bought a high-end AMD card and it's wicked fast.

[–] odium@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

They said, about a month ago, that their 8000 series GPUs won't have a high end option, only low and mid tier.

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] M600@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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?

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Stalker is right there and needs it

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Give the modders six months.

I'm letting Stalker 2 bake for a while.

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

you can run stalker just fine with a $350 3080 from eBay.

[–] blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean the Steam recommendations list a RX 6800 XT. That is not too crazy!

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Ya, but like play it. Geforce Now has issues running it lmao

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

His jacket annoys me more than it should.

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

“Divorced” vibes

[–] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

This is extremely based

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

$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.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Not just an AI company, then.

It is, don’t use Nvidia cards for gaming the p2p isn’t worth it

[–] LavenderDay3544@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

Oh whatever will we do if line does not go up forever????? Do not worry, line will surely keep climbing!
