Did you love the 1080ti?
>>729065421>Didi never stopped. if a game can't run on one, its not worth playing.
>>729065421My dad is still rocking his, he often asks me if there's something better worth buying and I tell him no
>Did you love the era of optimized games>When a single game didn't take 1/4th of your disk spaceIs this a trick question?
>>729065421I still am running the 1080 (non ti) and no one can stop me
>>729065421I got mine for $400 back when it came out. Luckiest purchase I've ever made.
>>729065576love how helldivers 2 proves that any vidya over 50 gigs is optimized garbage programmed by complete morons
>>729065749Absolutely. Helldivers 2 does everything I wish these gaming companies would do.
>>729065421It's still in my PC and I'll ride it till it dies.
>>729065961it really boggles the mind, it's 22 gigs now and is one of the best looking games that's out at the moment. zero excuse for every other developer out there.
>>729065421To the very end, I just replaced it recently and held a funeral
>>729065421Still running dual 1080ti's Nothing wrong with em
970 unc dropping by. Enjoying your newfangled gizmos, young un's?
>>729066123One could almost say it's Unreal.
>>729065961It actually wasn't Arrowhead that even did it, it was some danes that specialize in console ports that actually fixed the filesize. The swedes are absolutely pants-on-head retarded and have no idea what they're doing with the game,
>>729066312doesn't matter who did it, as long as it is done. any developer could do the same and yet they do not.
As long as I get it served on my plate without issues, I don't care whose responsible.
>>729066221i hope electricity is very cheap in your country because youre spending like extra 100 bucks a year for how much those suckers draw at full load lmao
>>729066478The AI tax is coming out of your ram or electricity one way or the other lol
>>729065563Why are you lying to him though?
>>729065421im about to buy one for 100 bucks to replace my 750ti
>>729065749>>729065961>>729066123/v/ as usual twisting the narrative of things they don't understand. The reason for larger filesizes was to improve load times, at least in theory. In practice, they found load times had no significant improvement (at least in Helldivers' case), so the duplicated file data was removed. Not every game has a large filesize for the same reason, some games require a large filesize for shader caching, and you WILL feel when that's missing.
>>729066594>some games require a large filesize for shader cachingso optimize the shaders? if HD2 can look as good as it does with the size it's at, then i don't see why other games can't just do whatever arrowhead did.
>>729065421I have a 1080 but I can't play tarkov decently so idek if I can hold out much longer ):
>>729065421Why didn't they make the driver software open source if they don't want to update it?
>>729065421Wish I had it. I have a 4080 Super now, but up until a few months ago I had a GTX 660 for like a decade because I was lazy.
>>729066724>so optimize the shaders?They are doing. What do you think a shader cache is?
>>729066594>Be me >Modern gaming company>Make some dumbass excuse to justify the game taking 200 gbs>Don't do any optimization & rely purely on Unreal Engine>Dumbass consumers couldn't possibly be this dumb to defend this tactic>mfw
>>729066832retard
>>729066906I accept your concession.
>>729066725I could play tarkov fine on a 970.
>>729065421I have the regular 1080 and I still love it very much.
>>729066947try posting an argument first
>>729065421I had a 980ti and was a bit jealous of the vram bump one gen later.
>>729066740if they're somehow optimized, why is the filesize so massive?
>>729067014name and shame some games then
>>729067014That's where the hidden Epstein files are.
i still use itin combination with lossless scaling i can play almost everything i want
>>729065421This is probably the most glazed gpu ever.
>>729065421Never had one, but I love what feels like my modern equivalent: the 3060 12GB.
>>729067030baldur's gate 3, doom eternal, ark survival evolved, black ops 7, GTA5, monster hunter wilds, overwatch 2, genshin impact. i dont know why im even listing these because i know you're feigning ignorance.
>>729067150If you can't figure out why RPGs and open world games often have a large filesize, you may legitimately have brain damage. Also, Doom Eternal was only 35 gigs (base game), OW2 is <50GB in spite of having a billion skins for whales.blops 7 is the only egregious example you gave (and I strongly suspect they inflate its filesize on purpose to discourage players from installing their competitor's games), then again isn't blops 7 the one with an open world in it too?
>>729065563>EOS cardStop being a prick to your father lil bro.
>>729066953ever since 1.0 my experience just tanked I have to play on lowest settings and it still feels not great but before it was fine probably when you were playing as well
The only sucky thing about 1080 (still running my non Ti one) is that retarded developers force RTX for some games, which makes it impossible to start them, even though it would probably run them fine.FF7 Rebirth is a good example.Other than that, it's literally the best card I've had in my life.
>>729067301i dont care what kind of game it is, there is no reason for it to be over 100 GB and you cannot convince me otherwise. >Doom Eternal was only 35 gigsnow its over 80 gigs. what happened? also steam tells me OW2 is 77GB.
>>729067571>i dont care what kind of game it is, there is no reason for it to be over 100 GB and you cannot convince me otherwise.Yeah, we already established your stupid ignorance but thanks for reiterating it.>now its over 80 gigs. what happened?high resolution textures + DLC. Those are optional installs in Steam.
>>729066594>/v/ as usual twisting the narrative of things they don't understand.Says you, who deliberately regurgitate the swiggers gaslightingAH didn't do shit, all they did was giving the assignement to a dutch company specialized in data compression after the pushback they got from the "explanation", expect the game to bloat again in 2 years
>>729067803>making shit up
>>729065563Based kiddo
>>729067654im not seeing any option to disable these "high resolution textures." and i don't own the DLC. anyways im not sure why you're acting like games being massive is a good thing and that there's nothing these developers can do to reduce filesizes. keep acting like a genius though.
>>729068034>acting like games being massive is a good thingIt's not a good thing, but it's sometimes necessary. You ain't ever going to compress GTA V down to 20 gigs, sorry bro.
>No DLLS
>>729068130Did you forget that you could play GTA 5 on the Xbox 360 without an internet connection? If I remember right, the file size was 8gb. So it's definitely possible.
>>729068130you say that but wasn't GTA5 below 20 gigs on 360? of course that wasn't HD but did the game becoming HD really warrant a file size increase of like 60 gigs, assuming the online shit they added was like 20
>>729068284>>729068315Oh sure let's just switch back to 360 textures
>>729068130GTAV was less than that on release.
>>729066832who are you quoting?
>>729068365it was just over 16 gigs and looked like dogwater >>729068362
>>729068362>Moving the goalpost
>>729068427hey if you need an xbox 360 graphics mode for your poorfag shitbox, I'm all for it.
>>729068362wow that more powerful hardware sure did make the game look better
>>729068507holy fuck I forgot just how bad the 360 version looked>this was sub-30fps btw
>>729068621is this truly a 10x increase in quality to what we have now?
>>729068691Yes.They should give you the option of installing only the story mode though, GTAO takes a crapton of its install size.
>>729069009I don't know why that screenshot got fucked up
>>729065421My love goes to my EVGA 980ti that went through two AIOs before finding its home on an aftermarket air cooler after the warranty expired. Stubborn bitch refused to die and gave me seven years of unerring service. Ended up lasting longer than the company that sold it.
>>729065421Quite literally the best card ever made. We will never see its like again because it was too good and long lived.It can still run a lot of modern games perfectly well without sacrificing many visuals or resolution.
