Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I have no doubt that the 4090 is a fantastic piece of hardware, but I just don't see a justification for upgrading.
I play games on a 4k/60 monitor, generally with close to max graphics settings (obviously within reason). My 2080TI handles that just fine. I also couldn't care less about framerate unless the game is noticeably stuttering, so that might help.
I know a couple of people who bought a 4090, expecting to only play League and Minecraft on it. Genuinely just do not understand the reasoning behind that
I'm still using my same 7700k and 1060 and for 1080p stuff it's just fine, dagnabbit.
I mean, i know for a fact that cyberpunk 2077 barely runs on low with that setup.
It's totally fine if you just play games like slay the spire or enter the gungeon. But that rig, from personal experience, runs high-end graphics like shit. Hell, even elden ring runs like shit on that setup.
....runs great for me. Not sure why it doesn't for you.
