Thank fuck. Can we have cheaper graphics cards again please?

I'm sure a RTX 4090 is very impressive, but it's not £1800 impressive.

Just wait for the 5090 prices...

I just don't get whey they're so desperate to cripple the low end cards.

Like I'm sure the low RAM and speed is fine at 1080p, but my brother in Christ it is 2024. 4K displays have been standard for a decade. I'm not sure when PC gamers went from "behold thine might from thou potato boxes" to "I guess I'll play at 1080p with upscaling if I can have a nice reflection".

4k displays are not at all standard and certainly not for a decade. 1440p is. And it hasn't been that long since the market share of 1440p overtook that of 1080p according to the Steam Hardware survey IIRC.

Maybe not monitors, but certainly they are standard for TVs (which are now just monitors with Android TV and a tuner built in).

That doesn't really matter if people on PC don't game on it, does it?

These are the primary display resolutions from the Steam Hardware Survey.

Well, people aren’t sticking 4090s in their Samsung smart TVs, so idk that matters.
