Graphics cards were a mistake. Now we have ugly looking, poorly performing games, and to play them we need to spend a lot of money to hang huge pieces of metal off of our motherboards that you need to support else you risk destroying your hardware, all while it dumps a ton of fucking heat into your PC and accounts for atleast half of your system's total power draw. Don't get me started on trying to fit large graphics card in certain cases or having to route 3 fucking thickass cables just to power these things.

Graphics cards were a mistake, they don't even actually run many of the new games they use goyvidya magical frames and pixels to make the games playable at all. Return to intel graphics or AMD APUs.

can't wait for the ai bubble to pop so i can build a cheap pc that isn't full of government spyware like the one i have now.

Why are your gripes with Graphics card and unoptimized video games when they're targeting console hardware first and PC as an afterthought?
>>
>>106633339
My 7900xtx has zero of these issues. And just brute forces everything

Hardware progression is good
It's just that software has been getting shittier by the day for more than a decade
It's absolutely insane what you can squeeze out of a 200MHz processor with a few MBs of ram for example. While at the macro scale our collective computation power is achieving more, it's so bad at the micro scale
When we get to a gorillion terahertz and petabytes everything, we'll just manage find the most unoptimized way to generate clusterfuck abominations of code horrors never seen before
O(n^n) and worse complexities await us

>>106633339
You do know that there are more graphics cards than the flagship models, right?
>>
Graphics cards in 2050 will have 50GB of Vram, Consoles will be running with 100gb of Ram, most likely in the petaflops range of rendering performance, with 7GHZ 16 core cpus, stacked with gigabytes of 3D cache and to top it off with state of the art RT & ML upscaling, yet graphics still won't be look as good on an industry scale as unrecorded(picrel).
Truly grim

I know right, the thought that some randos can have so much unregulated computing power in their houses frightens the heck out of me.

>Graphics cards in 2050 will have 50GB of Vram
Graphics cards n 2050 will have 8GB of VRAM with AI Memory 8.7, with all new hallucinated textures.

You guys didn't know what GPU was until GTX 970.
>>
>>106633765
the consumer cards are severely gimped compared to the datacenter cards. like datacenter blackwell is chiplet+hbm while you got shitty gddr7 and cut down monolith.

iGPUs FTW

>>106633769
And cost $4k equivalent of today's money.

I have riva tnt and ati radeon lying around. Some of them didn't even use fans.
Quake 2 and Unreal are better than 99.99% fps games made to date.
I use modern "graphics cards" for GPGPU
>>
>>106633339
Nah, fuck integrated graphics. Bring back software rendering.
>>
>>106634006
fuck graphics altogether, lets all play muds
>>
>>106633339
Return to? Graphics cards are older than integrated intel and amd graphics
>>
>>106634065
graphical muds can be played in software mode (cpu). at best it looks like a snes game.
>>
BRING BACK VOXEL ENGINES, ENTIRELY COMPUTED ON CPU
>>
>>106633749
Chromatic aberration + vignette + fish-eye, its all post-process effects.
And dev are just lazy asshole you can just bake lightning.
You are left with high res texture and lot of pixel for the model that is what take all the memory

in 2050 it will be all hallucinated by our AI AGI overlord

Why did you pay for windows over pirating it? I swear back in the day vista was $200-300 as well?

640 pixel wide displays ought to be enough for anybody.
