Any gaming PC with anything worse than a 5080 will be outdated in 2 years. 5080s are next gen and will last 8 years or longer.
>>110085567Outdated for what? What games would be so important? Neither oldfags care about modern slop, nor do zoomers who play smaller games or perpetual minecraft and roblox. And millenials are poorfags.
Current gen hasn't changed in 6 years, since the PS5 released in 2020. We're at the end of its life cycle and next gen is available now on PC.
>>110085627Just saying, there's going to be a wave of new games that you won't be able to play unless you upgrade. But you're saying you don't want new games so...
Why? What exactly will make those GPUs outdated?
>>110085596>>110085642Sorry wrong reply
Graphics aren’t getting better anon this is it. It’s a waste of time and money. AAA is going back to PSX soon.
>>110085656Current GPUs match or exceed the PS5, so developers make games that are guaranteed to run on GPUs that at least match the PS5. That's the 3080, or a 2080 Super. When the PS6 releases, the new lowest threshold they're making games for will be the 5080.
why do ESLs and europoors do nothing but talk about video games on this board
>>110085567it took until mid 2025 for the ps5 to overtake ps4it's not going to be a relevant spec until rdna6
>>110085642What games? The PC GPU market is well and thoroughly fucked over.
>>110085567We used to have groundbreaking PC games now they just follow Sony's lead
>>110085567normies wont be able to afford a PS6 so it wont ever have widespread adoption.the existence of steam deck and more recently steam box, which have relatively low spec, will keep the minimum spec of games quite low so they are included.
>>110085642>>110085664there might be something cool in the future, but I'm just pointing at general trends. Gaming as we've generally known it is mostly a millennial thing. And that phase is going away for various reasons. These are the types who bought all of the demanding movie slop. They created these markets and this demand for ever increasing realism. The others demographics didn't quite give as much of a shit. Not gen x, not zoomers, not alphas, not wamen. There's occasional stuff that's the exception, like GTA or something, but there's probably going to be a lot of changes in the industry over the next 5 years.
>>110085567To be honest, I'd expect that of AAA devs.>create another AAA game that the minimum requirement is a 5090>few people have a 5090>poor game sales>w..why didn't anyone buy our game??? IT WAS THE CHUDSSssS@!A@S!3!1!
>>110085788>there might be something cool in the futureThat cool thing is called Neural Texture Compression
>>110085813The 5090 is discontinued and therefore outdated.
>>110085567Gaming tech will stagnate for 5 years because nobody will be able to afford to upgrade
>>110085567wasn't ps5 more like a mobile variant of 3060?
>the 5000 adas flying under the radar are now scooped up and/or upchargedAlright, now I'm concerned
>>110085567A 3060 is about equal to a PS5 and is fine.
>>110085567Just lower the settings.
My fucking b580 performs better than a base ps5 tho
>>110085567But that's fine.I like not having to buy new hardware.If game devs optimized their games properly, games on modern hardware could look absolutely stunning.Instead, they just turn on the newest upscaling slop filter and the image turns into smear and hallucainations the moment even a single thing on the screen moves.But I don't think that will happen. Thanks to AI, we'll just get even worse slop from now on. But some indies will still create cool things and I have my backlog. More games than I could ever play have already been released and they run great on a modern computer.
>>110085567>outdatedThis is entirely on the developers. Look at how amazing The Last of Us looked on hardware released in 2006. They don't know how to optimize, and they spend too much time on post-processing, frame generation, and tiny details that don't actually matter. It's like having a fat roommate who eats twice as much when you buy twice as much food.
>>110085567>I must buy or I die!!!
>>110085656Terribly optimised nu-games starring ugly fat black women.
Games that require those kind of cards are going to sell like shit by pricing out customers. You have games that look like shit (borderlands 4) while also running like shit at launch. Took them forever to try to fix it and they lost so many sales because of it. Meanwhile fotm pixel shit sells 500k copies that gets split between the few devs that made it in a week.
>>110085706Try a 3070, not a 3080. And you’re delusional if you think the PS6 will match a 5080. They’re already struggling to mass produce the PS5! Graphics are plateauing and the industry is preparing to either entrench the current visuals or move backward.
>>110085567Yeah you literally cannot play videogames on an Xbox One because its GPU is just too old, its technically impossible.Also your RTX Blackwell 96GB will be literally unusable in 5 years, just so you know
>>110085642Oh no! You mean... tranny combat simulator? Tranny space cadet? E... even... tranny demon hunter? I'll DIE if I can't play those!
>>110087953Your mom will be literally unusable in 5 years too. But your butthole... it should be nice and broken-in by then!
>>110085788You're retarded. Zoomers don't play true vidya, they play P2W phone slop and Gen X play shit like CoD and WoW. Shitllenials don't gaym at all hardly. Gen Alpha will be even MORE into phone games It's over. It's literally over.
>>110085567We are past the paradigm of game graphics improving incrementally every year. Lack of optimization and low effort copy paste game design makes it not worth it to keep up with the tech demands of newer “games”
>>1100881488/10 homes don't even own a PC anymore. They game on consoles or phones/tablets.
>>110088100my mom was unusable 20 years ago. and my butthole is already broken in by my wife's bbc strapon
>>110088179Awww! I wanted to your first! Not fair!
>>110088143The whole gaming industry as we know it catered around Millenials. Gen X started with Commodore 64s and Pac-Man. Not CoD. And they played MUDs and maybe UO. WoW is when MMOs turned to shit. I know because I am Gen X.I might be getting zoomers and alphas confused. Check this out. It's pretty bleak either way.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7GFLFQWt_g
>>110085745PS6 and Xbox Helix are guaranteed to release next year
>>110088187Sorry, you never had a chance, I'm Black Woman owned for life. I could never submit to anyone else
