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?

His jacket annoys me more than it should.

[-] CluelessDude@lemmy.zip 8 points 15 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 2 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] odium@programming.dev 2 points 15 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 2 points 12 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.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 0 points 12 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.

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.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 15 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 24 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Noblesavage@lemmy.world 4 points 11 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 19 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 15 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 8 hours ago

Unfortunately, screens have gotten larger lately.

[-] Viri4thus@feddit.org 21 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 25 points 1 day ago

5060 will be $1999

[-] mrfriki@lemmy.world 19 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 14 hours ago

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

[-] USSEthernet@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago

That headline is not directed at us gamers.

[-] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago

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 4 points 12 hours ago

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

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 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.

[-] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 16 hours ago

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

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

The 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 14 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.

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

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

Otherwise, what are they doing?

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 18 hours ago

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.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

That's not at all how HDR works.

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

You don't have it configured correctly. That's not what HDR is supposed to do. Or you have a fake HDR monitor.

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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.

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

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.

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 points 5 hours ago

Okay you clearly have zero interest in what people are telling you so I'm not going to bother. Enjoy your misconfigured HDR.

[-] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

This is extremely based

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 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
