As someone who has not kept up with PC technology in the past 10 years, is there stagnation going on? Pic related is my gpu, which came out in 2017, and I am able to play quite a few new games albeit at low settings. Something like the GTX 280, which came out in 2008, was already obsolete by 2017 and that was a high end card at the time.
>>107916336yes, cards no longer lose their value and it will get even worse
anything works at 1080p now, well except monster hunters wildsUltra is 4K now and you need upscaling and frame generation to get high fps yes stagnation is everywhere Cyberpunk is still an absolute mess but also still the graphical benchmark 6 years later
I'm on a 7900XT does everything i want and need so i am not upgrading till it either dies or can no longer open and run apps/games
yes in terms of fps increase year over year.but getting a $300 budget gpu today will give you more than 2x more fps in games.And we are improving the power efficiency of chips.We are already at a point where you can get a laptop that has the same power as a desktop, it just wouldn't last very long on battery life. but I assume we are going to get some power efficient and power hungry APU's. So the battery life would still be terrible (like 4 hours instead of 2 hours with a dgpu), but that essentially means that we went from a 200 watt gaming laptop to a 100 watt gaming laptop with the same power, which is kind of a big deal (but of course if you reduce the power usage / settings, the laptop with a weaker APU will last just as long with the same fps / graphics).
