    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.

    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.

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

          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.

          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 ti can still run everything on Ultra, except for VR which it runs on medium.

            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.

              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.

    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?

      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.

            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.

              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.

          I have a 4090 and my display supports HDR and its disabled because fuck HDR. Do people actually like getting blasted with a floodlight because HDR automatically maxes your screen brightness? Like fuck I think my screen with HDR enabled is brighter than my lamp.

              That’s default behaviour on windows11, I have an MSI titan laptop that definitely supports it. I’ve done 0 to configure it. My brightness is typically at minimum or near to, enabling HDR immediately and consistently maxes brightness on the majority of the screen. It’s utterly unusable. It goes with things that people say matters like 1000nits of brightness or whatever when I actually want like 300, so my eyes don’t start bleeding.

                I’ll say it again. You have it misconfigured. That isn’t what HDR is supposed to do. You either have settings wrong in Windows, or in the games.

                  That is default windows, if it’s misconfigured then it ships misconfigured. I’ve done nothing except click the slider that turns it on, and then 5 seconds later off again as the dark mode settings menu blasts me with the full force of the screen.

                  If default doesn’t work, I don’t really feel like repeatedly blasting my eyes with full brightness until I figure out how to make it not burn out my retinas.

                  I think the issue is HDR requires the r part, being range, and I want it to not blast my eyes which anything above 20% brightness does if I’m inside, and default probably uses 100% of the brightness range and that actually causes pain.

                  Edit: to be clear, never made it to a game. Getting flash banged by the settings menu was bad enough thanks, don’t need to deal with something intended to be a flashbang.

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