The real reason not to worry us that they have so much money coming in from AI bullshit that they don't care about gaming anymore.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 31 minutes ago

Oh whatever will we do if line does not go up forever????? Do not worry, line will surely keep climbing!

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 hours ago

checks Team Fortress 2

500+ fps

checks PCSX2

60fps locked and stable

checks Elden Ring

....it works, we'll put it that way

I'm good. What good is a $3k graphics card in a generation with no games?

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 51 minutes ago

Stalker is right there and needs it

[-] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

you can run stalker just fine with a $350 3080 from eBay.

[-] blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 17 minutes ago

I mean the Steam recommendations list a RX 6800 XT. That is not too crazy!

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

His jacket annoys me more than it should.

[-] MoonMelon@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 hours ago

Management always wearing the same thing in public appearances is fucking weird. Steve Jobs, Zuck, Todd Howard, probably more I just haven't noticed. It's like they're trying to be cartoons.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 24 minutes ago

Turma da Mônica type shit

[-] CluelessDude@lemmy.zip 11 points 18 hours ago

Now that AMD is supposedly out of the high end graphics card market, it seems like high end gpus are going to go for a fun pricing range.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

What? When did they say that? I just bought a high-end AMD card and it's wicked fast.

[-] odium@programming.dev 4 points 18 hours ago

They said, about a month ago, that their 8000 series GPUs won't have a high end option, only low and mid tier.

[-] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 3 points 15 hours ago

But rumours also say that RDNA 4 will be somewhat of a half-assed generation and that they're putting resources in something maybe called "UDNA" instead, which will compete at the top end.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 46 minutes ago
[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

That's crazy! But cards are so fast these days it doesn't seem like you need a high end model anyway. My machine with a 980 to can still run everything on Ultra, except for VR which it runs on medium.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

A lot of newer AAA games rely on ray tracing and AI upscaling to even be able to properly render at 1080p . This is their way to make up for developer's shit hardware optimization and insistence on investing in diminishing returns for graphical realism.

[-] M600@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I think a lot of games these days are keeping low powered devices like the steamdeck in mind. I think we are heading for igpu only for gamers and all the dgpu resources are going to go towards AI.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

$3.3 billion dollars seems like it should be more than fine, but I guess that's why I'm not a greedy business CEO.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 day ago

My Nvidia cards anytime anyone suggests I should "upgrade".

[-] Noblesavage@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

I'm still rocking my Zotac 1060. I might as well ride that thing into the ground at this point.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 8 points 23 hours ago

I have a non ti 1080 and every subsequent generation seems to have been worse with everything from firmware issues to actual fires.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I still have a computer with a 980 ti, and I haven't played a single game that doesn't run on ultra.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Unfortunately, screens have gotten larger lately.

[-] Viri4thus@feddit.org 22 points 1 day ago

Jensen can keep his GPUs, the way AAA gaming is going I'll be playing indies for the foreseeable future or playing on console. I have evolved into a patient gamer. It also has the advantage that if I want to see some theorycrafting I won't be swamped with youtube suggestions about pronouns or diversity. I'm not starting to use an account, I'm not American nor am I a conservative google, stop trying. I'm fine with different looking people in my games telling different stories. Also, TLOUII was one the greatest games of all time.

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

5060 will be $1999

[-] mrfriki@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

That headline sounds expensive for us gamers.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 8 points 1 day ago

this is the new normal... only way to fight is to squeeze the most of what you got, don't feed the troll

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago

Not to worry, discrete GPUs will likely go away completely within a few generations.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

With how well AMD APUs are doing in regular PCs and the Steam Deck, I see it as a way for developers to standardize their game optimization like they would on consoles.

I already have a 4090 and I'm going to buy a 5090 and there's nothing any of you can do to stop me.

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

What if we put a bunch of Legos on the floor around your bed while you slept?

[-] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 hours ago

I would buy it from my bed using my phone and then summon my cats to bat the Legos away. I am unstoppable.

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Random Tangent: I rather buy a nicer HDR monitor with that money. HDR Gaming is where it's at. SDR looks like washed out, dim dogshit to me now.

I offer an alternative to people who want nicer graphics: consider an OLED HDR monitor. HDR has like no performance impact but looks 10,000x better.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

What’s considered a good “hdr” monitor?

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Preferably an OLED monitor (or TV). Either wOLED or QD-OLED. Both have strengths and weaknesses. I have a wOLED.

If not that, a high end miniLED.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Should I worry about the brand that much or just go with OLED + HDR combo for whatever I can find in my budget?

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 points 45 minutes ago

Sites like rtings.com and tftcentral.co.uk have pretty decent measurement methodology. Probably best to stick to LG and Samsung but I can't say for certain.

[-] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 19 hours ago

I'm using a 55 inch LG C4 as a monitor

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Then buy a bigger and newer TV. Do you have any screen burn-in? We have burn-in on our LG 65" OLED from playing Diablo 3.

[-] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 17 hours ago

I just replaced my old 48 inch C1 with this TV because of burn in. Was able to return it to Costco and get all the money back and put it towards this new one.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Damn, you got lucky! They told us to contact the manufacturer. They didn't do anything. So we called the warranty company for the extended warranty that Costco sold us and they just refunded the warranty fee. Now we just deal with it. We paid $3300 for this thing, so we're in no hurry to replace it. The same size is only $2k now, but that's still a lot of cheddar. We have the 65" C6.

[-] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Anyone who has a 4090 more than likely already has an HDR monitor.

Otherwise, what are they doing?

This is extremely based

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Not just an AI company, then.

It is, don’t use Nvidia cards for gaming the p2p isn’t worth it
