Pretty much. If you are content with the fact that you can’t play newest and most demanding games, PC gaming has to be among cheapest hobbies imaginable.

Now, recent hardware price increases are bullshit and people have all the right to feel annoyed about them, but even then, PC gaming doesn’t really come even close to actually expensive hobbies. This doesn’t mean that current RAM or GPU prices are fine on some dumbass ”other hobbiest cost too so it’s ok if this costs a lot too” bait logic, but it’s good to note this just to have some perspective on how much people spend on hobbies on average.

Good performance for MSRP, completely fucked by covid & shitcoin mining.

Underperformance for the cost, could only get for MSRP if you were lucky enough to snipe one before a scalper.

Underperformance for the cost, between scalpers and AI price hikes the only GPU's that go for MSRP are the really shit cards like the 5070 or 5060/ti low vram options.

I would never get anything TUF.
I bought a mouse recently instead of replacing my Razer Cobra with a new one.
The TUF mouse right click didn't work very good. I had to click closer to the scrollwheel because clicking on the edge was impossible. It just stops and never clicks in.
The mouse itself made my pinky and that fatty part of the palm below it, very sore for the first month of use. Like it wasn't built for human hands to use comfortably.
The DPI settings were either Slow as molasses, just a bit too fast or extremely too fast. No other settings.
The Thumb buttons were pretty nice.

Anyways the mouse is an indication of their quality and it's real fuckin' poor. So i'd never get one those TUF GPU's.

When the AI bubble pops you're not buying shit because we'll be headed for a recession or even a depression.
Why? Because the US government has been compromised by AI technocrats who bribed and bought their way into having Trump's ear and so he has grafted the US economy to the AI industry. If AI goes down, everything is gonna crash for like a decade.
AI blows by the way, I think doing this is basically gonna ruin the country, so I am not defending AI. I am just saying when it does pop I think we're fucked.

The Dot com bubble was not a result of constant government intervention at the local, state, and federal level to facilitate the industry.

I have old laptop with GTX 980m hooked up to the TV, wanted to buy some similar mini PC since it's 10 years old and kinda loud when fans go full speed, but everything is so expensive it's not even worth it. Like 600$ just for an equivalent, and I definitely ain't spending that or 1000$+ for a GabeCube when it's just something to use when lazy in bed to play something less demanding with a controller, my PC is still stronger. I think it was like 1000$ when I bought it, so it barely lost value in 10 years it seems.

Yes but during those times we were talking about a 220-230 pricepoint. Now we're talking about 350 bucks. For that price, It'd make more sense to buy a new cpu. But for that I'd need a new mobo with the new sockets. And mobos are retardedly expensive right now because of reasons.

People these days barely even need a 4070. Unless you upgrade to 4k for no reason - because 1440p to 4k is pretty hard to see and it's hard to justify spending thousands more.

Even at today's prices it's still cheap, just not dirt the cheap as it was.
Spending thousands of dollars for a thing that can entertain you for over a decade is an extremely fucking good deal.
Compare this with going on vacation for a week where you'll just blow through thousands for... not much after, or getting food delivery every day for a year.

The point of excessive money is control over people. When majority of currency is owned by small people services and goods will always be sold to them first because they just have more money. Eventually they'll buy every business with their infinite money and we the peasants who have to work for a scrap of that infinite money will be forced to do their bidding to survive.

I'd say you did right, unless you're running local AI models all day. Although if there ever was a time to splurge like a retard on a GPU it was when the 5090 launched.

Thanks for your input Jensen but I'm quite happy playing every game in my library at 1440p 240hz and I can live without your AI and raytracing slop.

they used to be genuinely cheaper and good value for money. but after vega fiasco and rdna this went all to shit and the fine wine narrative was flushed down the toilet since nvidia has better support for older gpus

RX 9050 XT is just another big "fuck you" in the ever growing lists of dontesque "fuck yous"

That's still true because consoles run games at comparatively low settings with upscaling. If you only wanted a PC that could run games at PS5 tier settings with PS5 tier performance, you wouldn't need a particularly expensive PC.
Plus you've got the cost of online subscriptions and pricier games on average.

Idk man, I paid like 6k + tax for this 4090 build with 64 niggabytes of ram, 7 tb of storage and a 14900k.

The only game I played recently that even used a fraction of this power was Cyberpunk 2077 with pathtracing turned on and with the anthro mods.


I haven't found any other triple A game worth playing since then. I've been mainly just been playing H-games, like I usually did on my old poorfag 3080 build and also using Silly tavern to make hmofa card.

Is SkyrimNet any good? I kinda want to do a Hmofa khajiit caravan RP story. With all of the sex mods, I haven't modded skyrim since at least 2016.

Oh, and btw. Crimson desert was fucking boring.

>>744691162
AMD gpus are fine mechanically, but their gpu drivers are dogshit.

And they also suffer from the syndrome of shit developers not optimizing for their cards in games. Meaning they lose alot of performance if you play alot of smaller indie games written by idiots. (most indie games are in this category.)

Depends.
If the increased demand is just surge, then output capacity won't be grown to accommodate it. This is just how it is currently viewed so they're maximising the profit of their current output.
If the demand is sustained, then there's now market and financial incentive to increase output capacity to meet the needs and requirements of more markets and greater market share.
As a whole they haven't had such an astronomical change in demand so they're kind of playing it safe because the expenditure to expand is equally astronomical.

The nature of the affected industry and the development that caused it means it won't be a 2 or 3 year thing. It's going to be a 10-15 thing.
We're hitting the end of the assessment period and they're going to have to make a decision on output in the next 2-3.
Your timescales are wrong, that's all.

Lol, its over, this is what the right actually believes. I literally cannot take one fucking look at the disgusting Jewish grifter personalities of the right without immediately dry-heaving at the thought of millions of people giving any of those fucking idiots any kind of platform that they do now, probably just as engineered, too. I bet. Wouldn't be the first time this fucked country would have pulled something like that.

The left isn't any better either. Give up, your free will and all of your freedoms are just illusion. You were never truly free. We are all slaves, no matter which way you put it.

1000 series has no async compute. A 2060 will outperform a 1080TI on a game that doesn't have fallbacks for older cards.

Just get the 5080 instead, or if you don’t care about the fancy ray tracing stuff, and prefer something way cheaper, get a 9070 XT. Problem solved.
