What part of "i don't gamming much" don't y'all understand?

I use my pc more for productivity and multitasking, i'm not interested in playing the latest releases with ray tracing and other crap

The benefits of a decent modern GPU is not limited to gaming.

A 4060 is like 300 bucks and will ensure you can run all the old stuff without hiccups.

yeah but you got nice set up and a 4060 is not that expensive , its not like we saying a 4080 or 4090 ti

Aight


As i said maybe get a rtx 4070 at the end of the year, it’s not a priority at the moment.

Don't know if this has been posted but I like GPD products & this is no exception

$600+ for 12GB and 192 bit in 2025

RTX 5080 is half the 5090 but they will still charge "premium" for it, fukk nvidia fr

Price of the brick going up.

Blame AMD for not putting up better competition.

Nvidia been acting like a bytch since the 2xxx series, i can still run all the current games on my old 1070 with some adjustments so maybe i'll hold on to it for a while longer

But im with him for the most part. fukk the crazy prices for just 5% improvement. As a non-gamer I see no reason for upgrading anytime soon. I'll stick to my RX 6650XT for many years to come

Leakers are saying the 5090 will probably end up being somewhere between $2000 and $2500 for the Founders Edition. That’s kinda wild. Scalpers definitely won’t have much room to jack up those prices.

Did some tests with the games i have (WWZ, RE 2 and 3 Remake, Forza Horizon 4, Dying Light, GOW 5, Days Gone, Doom Eternal), can run them on ultra at an average of 60+ fps at 3440x1440.



As i said before, i have no interest in new games and for now see no reason to upgrade my gpu other than to keep up with "new features" that i probably won't use 95% of the time

 

[Bboystyle]

Normally id upgrade from my 4090 to the new upcoming 5090 but i dont see a big jump to do so. I finally bushed 2k gaming and went 4k due to the new 240hz 4k monitors(my 4090 gets 200+ fps on most games). No reason at all to jump to the 5090 unless 8k gaming becomes a more affordable thing at 120hz+

founder editions always hiked up.. not $2000 but I think the 2090 founders was like $1200 or something

im trying to get a 5070 upon release. My 2070 Super has done me wonders. I always skip 1-2 gens.
