Haven't been in the emulator game for many years. Which emulators are the go-to nowadays?

So. Cal
Because of people like the ones on this thread ready to stampede over each other to be first in line to pay for them.
Thats not the reason why :mjlol:

its been like that since the 4 series and crypto booming came about. but the main reasons are:

no more production of 40 series GPUs
lackluster reviews on 50 series so far (no one wants to pay for an 8% increase of performance)
lack of stock of 50 series aka scalpers
lack of anything from AMD still (soon™)
tariff uncertainty


these are also the reasons why used GPUs are through the roof.

Any PC game recommendations? I'm looking to get back into gaming. Building my PC just waiting for some parts to come in. I got a RX6600 might upgrade if I can find a game out there that I like that requires something with more vRam. To be honest I don't really care about graphics like that more so game play.

Dap'd and rep'd.

I'm not too much into story telling games but I recognize the walking dead game from Itsreal85 voice overs. Maybe a MMO RPG if it's not a huuuuuge pay to win game.

honestly the best MMORPG's on PC are WoW and FFXIV. Neither are pay to win.

Man my 5080 seems to be giving me problems…keep getting the error “there is a problem with your graphics card” after some idling…reinstalled the drivers, rebooted, now my desktop icons disappeared after a few min…after some googling it seems like the drivers have been unstable

My god how did graphics card prices become comparable to a down payment to a car.
Cross your fingers AMD comes in with lower prices for their new cards, because nothing is stopping NVIDIA from going up on the price of they bricks atm.

I'm just gonna wait and see if there will be a new gen of GPUs out when TW4 drops, then do a full upgrade at that point.
