well yeah, if you only buy mid tier to low tier stuff instead of ever going for high tier. My 1080TI is still handling new games maxed out at high fps. Currently playing Days Gone, maxed settings, 3440x1440, 85FOV motion blur off at locked 60 fps
pretty sure the experience with 1080ti on 3440x1440 is better than what 1070 and 2070 would give. It is only now that i have to start considering lowering settings or upgrade if i want the eye candy. If it was not for the RT cores, i would probably stick with this card for a while longer.
As...
i do get your point, but i disagree. Good example is 1080TI i have currently. yes it is 4 years old gpu, but it still can run anything really. Now buying 1070 and then 2070 would overall cost me more, for the same experience i have with this card. (tho this argument falls bit short due to rt...
As an counter argument to what i just posted tho. If you dont care about high refresh rates and eye candy (literally everything maxed out) you dont need 3080 and 3070 is more than great card for most users.
But if you can afford it, buy what your money affords you, it will last you longer and...
for example here is 3090 (absolute overkill) running some games at 1440p with 10900k
some games like Red Dead Redemption 2 Cyberpunk or AC Valhalla are barely hitting 100fps maxed out
Games coming out this year or next year might demand even more from the hardware. So i would argue that 3080...
i would like to point out one thing regards the conversation that 3070 is 1440p gaming card. All the benchmarks and games tested that people point out are 2-3 years old. Running on older engines, aimed at older consoles.
The same situation happened with 2060 ti few years back. People argued that...
I would highly advice anyone wanting this game, DO NOT PREORDER. From all i know about this game, there is development hell and struggles, changing of studios and what not. Wait for release to see how it does.
I am excited for the game, but all the info in past year is not pointing towards...
sweet. I am staying with the strix 3090, been told yesterday by Tove at support that all my parts are in stock. Just waiting for hands to actually go into building :D hopefully next week. Seems like lots and lots of pcs are being build daily if the only think i am waiting for last 2 weeks is...
