"But I NEEEEEEEEED to play my games on 164x AA, ultra textures, unlimited render distance, no optimization, 900 fps (on a 60 fps 720p monitor) MOOOOOMMMM!!!"
That's how I hear every excuse for a recent Nvidia purchase.
Daddy! I want ~~an Oompa Loompa~~ copyright infringement now!
I mean yeah that's half the reason to play games on PC
I'm hearing more stuff like "but I nEeEeEeEd the latest nvidia card to create AI 'art' and soulles synthetic text locally! It's for business!"
Yeah I got a 3090 for Stable Diffusion and LocalLLaMa, money well spent tbh it brought many hours of fun, joy and learning and let me explore and study the tech and ML more generally without performance constraints. Much better value proposition than extra reflections in some video game honestly.
I have no doubt that the 4090 is a fantastic piece of hardware, but I just don't see a justification for upgrading.
I play games on a 4k/60 monitor, generally with close to max graphics settings (obviously within reason). My 2080TI handles that just fine. I also couldn't care less about framerate unless the game is noticeably stuttering, so that might help.
I know a couple of people who bought a 4090, expecting to only play League and Minecraft on it. Genuinely just do not understand the reasoning behind that
I'm still using my same 7700k and 1060 and for 1080p stuff it's just fine, dagnabbit.
I mean, i know for a fact that cyberpunk 2077 barely runs on low with that setup.
It's totally fine if you just play games like slay the spire or enter the gungeon. But that rig, from personal experience, runs high-end graphics like shit. Hell, even elden ring runs like shit on that setup.
....runs great for me. Not sure why it doesn't for you.
