1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Don't consoles include dynamic render resolutions?
And they are also more optimized to run on that hardware vs the general compute targets you can program your API calls to.

So just saying the RTX-something is equal in every scenario is a bit of a stretch.

Yes they do, which I said above.

Yes they are more optimized, that's how they are able to keep up as well as they do. A 3070 completely blows away the current console gen specs wise. Due to optimizations, it is a lot closer than it looks on paper but 3070 is still ahead by a sizeable margin.

I'm not here to shit on consoles. I said they are the base experience. The "good enough" experience. If OP's card is outdoing that by a significant amount still, he doesn't need to upgrade. If he's getting the same performance of consoles, that's still good enough. If he's starting to dip below consoles, maybe consider buying a new GPU or CPU, or maybe just get to more of your backlog for a while. Realistically he's got around 4 more years, maybe more the way pricing for electronics will affect how fast requirements go up.

Don't quite believe a 3070 outperforms a PS5 (is the peo a thing?) or the series X.
But I also havent looked into it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For anything else: True dat ;)
