Runs great on my 5000 series AMD CPU and 3000 series Nvidia GPU, those came out 2 years ago now, and that's averaging about 50fps on a 4k monitor.
If that isn't optimized, idk what is. Yes, I had high end stuff from 2 years ago, but now it's solid middle range.
People are so damn entitled. There used to be a time in PC gaming where if you were more than a year out of date you'd have to scale it down to windows 640x480. If you want "ultra" settings you need an "ultra" PC, which means flipping out parts every few years. Otherwise be content with High settings at 1080p, a very valid option
I mean, this was also before video cards cost as much as some used cars or more than a month's rent for some people.
yea idk if used cars or rent are good comparisons.
4090 MSRP: $1,599
Rent for a 3 bedroom in a nearby town: $1,495/month
For only 300 more I have a mortgage on a 2000sq foot home in a large American city….
I have a 6900xt because I got a promotion recently and wanted to treat myself to get off the r9-300 series finally but it wasn’t 1600, I think I paid 1100
1,500 gets you a closet with a window around me. Prices are fucked.
Funny enough I picked one hell of a deal to be close-ish
It's averaging 1.9 to 2k round here for a 1bdrm
