    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.

    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.

      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.

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

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

    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?

    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.
