Low endbros, how are we holding up?

I'm still using my 1650 Super 4GB, still plays everything I want to play.

Ever thought youvd wanna try other games if you had the hardware?
Sounds like you are coping.

3050m

I still have a RX580 but I ordered a 9070Xt that should arrive early next week.

same, based

I have yet to up from the GTX 1070 I got for GTA5

im playing the clair obscur game on my GTX 1050ti

yeah old games are better but the feeling of not being able to run new games at all sucks big time.

1660 TI

im kinda thinking about upgrading, windows has been pretty horrible to me lately and i'm probably going to switch to linux

Last year I upgraded from a 1060 3GB to a 3060 12GB. Enjoying it so far.

bump

gtx 1080. i'll wait until gta 6 is out on pc probably

i'm still using my msi gtx 970, still plays just about everything i want to play. i really need to upgrade soon...

Last year I upgraded from a 1060 3GB to a 3060 12GB.

Same, except I had a 6GB model. Worked like a champ still.

The biggest upgrade was going from the i7-2600K + 16GB DDR3 + matching mobo with PCI-E 2.0, to a more modern Ryzen 5 5600X + 32GB DDR4 + B550 Pro motherboard with PCI-E 4.0. People seldom talk about how much difference the faster PCI-E port has to performance.

Great. I don't play nu games and usually they are fine but not optimal.
Oblivion Demaster runs with engine.ini config at locked 30 fps @ 1080p (xess balanced) with reshade sharpening and folor correction and every review said that cannot be done... Just finished installing mods and beginning my first run in ages.
I'd post a screenshot but I'm afk.
Sure I'm overclocking and undervolting too.

Anyways will get a new gpu when I need one for my work. Games wise I'm fine so far. Just stop playing jew AAAA trash and always online gaas.

My 980ti is enough.

RX 590
Got it on a sale for 200 euro. Still does anything I throw at it since I don't play UE5 slop. Instinctively I feel like I should upgrade, but there's just no point atm.

/poo/ general?

It's hard to answer because there's FOMO to make you care more about games you'd otherwise pass without a second glance.

How is it holding? My RTX 3050 6GB already seems quite blurry.

More like /adult/ general, you little underage fuckwit.

Don't know if 1660 Ventus 06 is low end, but still works very well in all fields

3060 Ti

Does a five year old midrange card count as "low end"? If so I'm still rocking this baby on 1080p, thinking of upgrading when the PS6 comes out

It's sad to give up on components that still work.

So you’re an old jeet still playing video games? Why dont you help your family run the liquor store like a good poo?

Getting a lot of mileage from my 780M integrated graphics

I'm on an rx470 with 8gb of RAM and an i5-3550 ^_^

I can still play every game I want to with rx 580 at 1080p. Mostly because like this anon I don't play UE5 shit

gtx 960, maybe want to buy a new pc in the summer

I MUST CONSOOM

You sicken me.

I wrote Im still using a 2070 and got laughed at in a thread yesterday. Imo it's not even that bad, beat and played kcd 2, expedition 33 and blue prince with it. Mostly on medium settings, kcd 2 I left on default it was really well optimized.
I wouldn't even know what to upgrade to

please stop responding to blatant newfaggotry

Which one is the bottleneck more often?

7800x3d + 4060ti 16gb

I have almost the same thing except that it's 980ti. Never felt the need to upgrade until Oblivion Remastered which is sadly unplayable but I'm also not paying 500+ to play Oblivion lmao

I bought a Legion Go for $450 and it literally outperforms my 1650 laptop

I have a 7900 XTX for work, but my main PC only has a 1660 Ti because the most demanding game I've played in the past few years is PoE.
When I want to play something the 1660 Ti can't run I will upgrade.

My 1050ti still runs all the stuff i play usually:

WarThunder

Project Zomboid

Source games

SS13

Outside of those i play indie games, though i really wanna upgrade soon but i don't want to give my fucking kidney for a high end one, so i've been thinking on going for a 2080 or 3060.

Upgraded to a 9070xt with a 9700x and it's been kino. Only thing that sucks is losing DLSS since many games don't have native support for FSR4 yet much less FSR3.1 like fortnite where it would been great

Similar here, except the super model. Granted I dont use the raytrace function because it makes my pc sound like a freight train. last games I ran on it were RE4make and Doom Eternal. Now I'm on a duke nukem craze.

I'm gonna get at least another 8 years out of my 3060ti. Like everyone else, it plays the games I want to play.

computer runs slow and it seems to be the graphics card

upgrade to 1660 from 970 a few weeks ago

not much of a difference

finally realize the problem is running Nvidia on Linux, not the card itself

3060ti can run every new game on recommended, I wouldn't call that low end. Avowed is probably the only unoptimized garbage trash game you can't play on recommended graphics, but then again the only retards that would ever even consider playing that game are people who always buy new cards on release for whatever reason

Got a 4060 laptop on the cheap, was an upgrade from 1660ti laptop. It runs great, can even handle UE5 slop, not that I play much of that (DLSS looks like absolute garbage but it runs alright). Shame they make undervolting such a total bitch these days.

Is 1080 considered low end? I can still play a lot of games even newer at 1440 just not most of the big budget shiny ones. Upgrading is getting desirable but I'm hearing 5xxx is the generation to skip. The market is such a clusterfuck.

lol I got a used PC with a 2060 for 300 bucks because my toaster laptop I used for work died
Figured I didn't even play a recent game since 2018 or so, might as well look for something to play right, BUT THERE ARE NO FUCKING GAMES LMAO
THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING STATE LMAO
So I play StarCraft in 4k

got a very cheap 3060 TI a year of so ago to replace my 970gtx and i plan to ride this thing until it catches fire
I can play anything at high or ultra@1080p which is all my monitor has so....
If i can find a cheap 1440p screen i bet this gpu can handle that too at mid/high
So as far as im concerned im set for a few years.

That'll definitely be the game that forces a large percentage of people to upgrade. It won't be optional if they want to play it.

1080 Ti

Just barely hanging on. If the 5080 had 24 GB VRAM, I would have gotten that by now, but Nvidia is fucking retarded so I have to wait for the Super refresh.

If it even happens

That's a cope. Having a modern GPU that can run modern shit without a sweat is always nice. That said you can really extend the life of a lowend or older card by locking the framerate to 30, boom, suddenly you can play the latest AAA slop on medium. Sure that sucks but you get used to it after 10min or so.

I'll get ps5 so it depends if gta 6 is good or not, if gta 6 sucks i'll keep using my current pc and spend my money on something else

Same, got one last year for a 100 euros and can play any game i want at high. Post 2019 slop is irrelevant.

Did you fixed it?

GTX 1050 Ti embedded

I have a Deck and even it feels like it's on par in terms of performance with this seven year old laptop, which is disappointing.

I have an i5 6700 and rtx3090 that I somehow managed to get for $200 because it had scratches on the casing and the led was broken.

Completely out of balance build. Cpu is a bottleneck so I still play at 40fps while cpu sits at 100% usage and the GPU at like 10-20%

lol

Too poor to upgrade. I use the gpu for AI as a coping mechanism

It has already been leaked and it will drop at the end of this year or near the start of next year. A year after launch at the latest. Regardless, anyone could have seen this from a mile away.

With how low inventory is (artificially) made to be, how does one even get one of these when they release? I've never bought new GPUs before.

I still have my 1070, everytime I think I can't run something I get surprised

Upgrading your PC is an endeavor that's meant to be done every 5 years at the minimum. You're just being needlessly obstinate if you don't even bother experiencing the latest technological advancements that life has to offer.

Why live life harder than it already is?

still plays everything I want to play.

Your definition of "everything I want to play" is governed precisely by what your card can and cannot do.

Finally upgrading from my 1060 to a 5070ti this weekend. Ill continue to play indie pixel games and watching youtube

Sure that sucks but you get used to it after 10min or so.

Boomertard cope

Nope.

Meant by whom? If it were up to the GPU manufacturers, people would upgrade every generation. Don't inflate the importance of random opinions.

Thats Cope

Mid end probably for 2 more years

trvke

I'm so glad I'm not poor, bros. Put effort into your life. Get some disposable income. Money and consuming isn't life, but being able to engage in your favorite hobbies without thinking too much about it is worth it.

Nope. Cope is buying new games you don't actually like just so that you can justify your shiny new GPU.

I like thinking thank you very much. Also I like to use things until they are completely spent and no longer useful for anything.

Cap, zoomers don't even have money for a modern gaming PC, y'all broke af fr fr

tbqhwyf in 2025 anything older than an RTX 2060 is pretty much spent

2060 here.
The one game that I had been interested in that would have warranted an upgrade turned out to be a wet fart (dragons dogma 2), so I don’t really care for upgrading right now. Especially that upgrading my GPU would also mean I’d need to upgrade my CPU to keep up with it, which would probably also mean I’d need ought to get a new motherboard, and power supply and so on and so on. I’ll just wait it out until some game I’m actually excited about comes out and just buy a whole new setup.

Not yet. Still thinking up a way to keep the 1660 from being a waste of $100.

I will continue upscaling from 540p with FSR ultra performance and you can't stop me

Market is fucked. There's no more power or fidelity to be had from cards without creating cards that require immense cooling and power consumption. Basically, power efficiency peaked 3 generations ago, and now all that's being developed are power hungry cards that run very hot because they're eating 500+ watts of power under load, conservatively.

This is compounded by misguided or simply inept developers who do not optimize the performance of their games. If they used $10k worth of hardware to develop and run a game, well that's good enough for the average consumer as well and fuck optimization. The hellscape that PC gaming is headed towards is that you won't have low or mid range options for GPUs. You'll have overpriced bricks on the cheap end, something that still costs about $750, and then you'll have functional cards in the range of $3k-5k for consumer, "non enthusiast" models.

Gaming is headed toward being a luxury hobby if you leave it in the hands of AAA.

Videogames ARE a luxury hobby. Always been.

No, what a stupid thing to say. A hobby that costs a few hundred dollars a year, at most, is not "luxury". That's where consoles started, and roughly stayed that way. It's where PC gaming started as well.

PC gaming, if you keep up with hardware, is easily a 5 figure hobby annually. That's a luxury hobby.

buying nvidia low end

genuinely useless and a waste of oxygen

I've been looking to upgrade and to me, the big thing for low end gaming is that you can no longer really skimp on the CPU like we used to. These new games are too CPU intensive so it makes the cost of a new rig a lot higher. 1080p gaming is impacted the most by having a shit CPU so it really sucks.

2080

I cried when the new Doom game went to 40fps during intense fighting, even with everything on low and 900p

Biggest upgrade was leaving the damn 2600k lmao. That was me upgrading from my old one about a year ago.

Going from a 2011-2012 4c/8t cpu to a modern 8c/16t (or higher) cpu is like living in the future, today.

AMD lowend is even more worthless and Intel lowend needs resizable bar.

I’m thinking of swapping out my GTX 970 for an RX 5600. Thoughts? Prayers?

Ryzen 5600g + RX 6600 XT (used)

boot any game

CPU temp raises to over 70°C/160°F depending on how much it works

It has been some months since i bought it and it does the job really good, i managed to play Nier Automata and other games, but it has become an issue i have to check regularly. It doesn't help that i accidentaly took the processor forcefully from the socket when i was installing the card and bent 2 pins in the process, that i successfully straighten later

gtx 1050 ti

i5-3470

16gb ram ddr3 1600mhz

1.25tb storage

life good

Anons, you should upgrade. Not because you need to replace your cards, but because when the time arrives to upgrade your cards, everything will be a lot more expensive than it is now. Cards are only going to go up in price, it has been the trend ever since the 30xx, it will continue to be.

>CPU temp raises to over 70°C/

70c is perfectly fine. Thermal throttling is at 100c.

If this is the case then we'll likely see a re-emergence of consoles, and/or this is when streaming games a la google's failed experiment that I can't even remember the name of. But I suppose even if that's true the proliferation of 'good enough' hardware especially in the smartphone market means we'll still have options, just maybe not the best ones.
Hopefully Tamriel Rebuilt is done in about 10 years because I can see myself playing almost exclusively that for many years.

What's a good case with good airflow that doesn't have stupid RGB or glass panels?

>Ryzen 5600g + RX 6600 XT (used)

that's not low end, gtfo this thread

Functioning adults don't play video games with poorfag tier GPUs. Anything below a 3070 is owned by thirdies or literal children who don't play anything other than Roblox and Fortnite.

Gaming is headed toward being a luxury hobby if you leave it in the hands of AAA.

More like the home-pc market is not viable anymore, and will inevitably inch its way towards a cloud-OS/service for the normie masses. These prices will hike and the markets will shrink, regardless if people buy the hot new AAA game or not.

To have the legacy pc hardware for stuff like hobby/work shit, will be an actual flex in the distant future.

The hellscape that PC gaming is headed towards

It's been there ever since you had to choose between Windows 10 and Linux.

I hate this but I suspect it's going to happen.

I will keep waiting until my card dies
no

yeah i don't think it's a coincidence that with gpu prices increasingly massively, nvidia has geforce now as an option. it keeps ai capabilities out of the hands of most consumers but still allows them to consume vidya.

3090letbros, how are we doing?

Soulless business admin types all think alike. And the idea of permanent subscription models with low hardware requirements makes them salivate. Why wouldn't they be actively pushing for this? The Chinese potentially undercutting the fuckers is perhaps our only hope in the long run.

Fractal Design North or Pop with solid side panel

You can get a medium-end AMD gpu for the similar price of a Nvidia low-end. AMD is more generous with its VRAM in general(except the newest 9060 with its shitty 8gb ofc). If you're an actual poorfag you could've saved for another year or two to get a decent medium-end Nvidia GPU that will last longer than your shit VRAM xx50 or xx60 but I wouldn't have to say this if you had a brain anyways.

I think it's a good thing. Making access to hardware harder for poors and especially jeets is the only way now especially when droves of them gain access to the Internet daily.

9600XT soon bro

1660 super here, i've been thinking about switching to an intel gpu, they seem to have the best performance for the price but awful compatibility

I want to play Wilds so I bought a 5060
Shit mail service is taking too long so im still stuck on my 1070

with how good ai is getting right now(ie those videos google showed off a day or 2 ago of AI streamers), i think keeping that out of reach of most consumers is part of the goal too. nvidia is very clearly gimping vram on their cards and i think this is part of the reason for that.

It's luxury in a sense it's not neccessary for living.

especially when droves of them gain access to the Internet daily

Most of them use smartphones for that so it wouldn't change much. Decent PC hardware is already way out of their scope, if you want to gatekeep people like them from being online at all you'd have to make poo tier phones more expensive.

3080 10g here

using a 4k oled 240hz monitor

i am struggling
my 7800x3d is basically doing alle the work now

Almost the entirety of the Switch library is 30fps and often less than that. You'd have a point if it's something that disappeared a decade ago but 30fps is still alive and kicking

just save two years and play no games for ~3% of you life

Nah.

Dunno my lowend is sitting at a comfortable 95hz cutoff

1660S

Can still play the newest games at 1080p and 40-60 fps. But everything is set to low + FSR.

You can get a medium-end AMD gpu for the similar price of a Nvidia low-end.

No you can't. AMD is content by making their cards some 50 buck cheaper than their closest NVIDIA equivalent, which isn't enough to cross the gap between low-end and medium.

Stop being a retard. Writing off every expense that isn't food or water as "luxury" isn't true to the definition of luxury. Anyone who isn't homeless and surviving off scraps is not living a life of luxury. What a dumb fuck thing to say.

this nigga runs a computer with sub 100Hz CPU Clock Rate

I kneel

With the way things are going I would argue that entertainment has become a necessity for living, at least for not going insane. If you took away the Netflix, the Youtube, the vidya, the porn and the goyslop away from the wagies you'd have a revolution.

Oh yea I forgot you monkeys die early so it's more like 10% of your lifetime lmao.

Games are not only cheaper if you upgrade/buy later but you get to enjoy them at a higher and stable framerates and resolution

instead because I have absolutely no discipline I will get the worst of both worlds and have a shittier experience while paying more

lmao you do you.

All you do is just parrot Youtuber talking points. Anyways get fucked lmao.

I´m still using my GTX 1060 6GB just because i can.

It's literally the definition of luxury. A layman might use it as a synonym for extravangant.

I'm wrong but you're a monkey! REEE

Shut up, ape. I'd rather deal with an orangutan than the likes of you.

Anon Babbleros, is RX6600 low end yet? r/etards from PCMR say it's a shit card and I shouldn't give my opinion on graphics, but I think they eat shit thinking only 3000$ GPUs are worth (big scam).

Skill issue. Just don't be an ADHD addled wreck and you can enjoy the simple things in life. A pleasant sunset. The singing of birds. The way a tree arches over a stream. A poem you came up by yourself just for the occasion.

The 5060 ti 16GB is good but a bit expensive
You can get an RX 7700 xt for a bit less, which is similar performance but worse raytracing
Or a second hand RX 6800 xt - really good value now.
Or a second hand 4070 (base version) which is a price bracket up, much more expensive even second hand, but rapes them all at raytracing and is faster than the 6800 XT

Please do not bully me.

6GB seems to be right on the edge right now. It's still barely clinging on for most games.

6600 is a budget card. Can be a very good choice depending on your budget. But if you bought one for 300 bucks you're a retard

I was talking about access to games and even the better AI shit. Currently most of them get filtered because you need money to access it. Also this includes the poors in the US.

Internet in general is already a lost cause and the only solution is a firewall blocking any jeet or 3rd worlder IP. Which will still leave poors but at least it's a fraction of what it could be.

Get fucked retard lmao.

Yeah, there's only a handful of games that outright require more. Of course some games run so poorly it's not worth buying them, but that's subjective.

But if you have a 9 to 5 living in a big city, which is btw the vast majority of the population you want to blow your brains out.

This only applies to US/UK/Canada or other 1st world shitholes where even the poorest whites are obnoxious and insufferable dipshits. I say this because I'm not even living in a city and I want to blow my brains out because these retards think they're the center of the world so their everything they do has to in some way annoy the fuck out of their neighbors.

City life is comfy when you're not surrounded by retards.

I'm stuck on a 2gb 750ti lmao

It's literally not. The "extravagant" is the core point of the definition of luxury. If you think that living above a means of homelessness and scavenging for scraps is "luxury", then you are a fucking retard.

Let me guess. You need more?

find an RX 570 for $30.

Yea like the other anon said, gaming is a luxury. I would be more inclined to agree if you said access to the Internet is a necessity but gaming is definitely still generally considered a luxury.

Anyone here still running a 1660TI or Super? Mine’s just living in my closet, curious if it’s worth putting in a build and giving / selling to anyone.

from Merriam-Webster:

something adding to pleasure or comfort but not absolutely necessary

something that adds to one's ease of living

as in luxurious: showing obvious signs of wealth and comfort

You don't need more

'fraid so

Anon I hope you also upgraded your CPU if you want to play Wilds

no way lmao, but you can get one retard buyer to fall for it.

just buy a new card.
RX 570/580 - $30
Vega 56/64 - $50
5700XT - $100
6600 - $120
6600XT - $140
Mind only RDNA2 and up have mesh shaders.

No. You should send it to me so that I can dispose it properly.

I still have an RTX 5080 but I discovered klarna and ordered a 5090 for only $500

current one will work well enough, ill lose a bit of performance but that's ok

It's basically the equivalent of a PS5 or a Series X and those machines upscale to 4K30 or 1440p60 just fine.

Sorry to say it, but Pentium 4 isn't quite up to snuff.

I own a 6800xt which is pretty much the same card. It's a decent card if you get it at a discount, but currently not great at msrp. My biggest issue with it is that a lot of modern games use some sort of mandatory ray tracing, and AMD cards prior to the current gen ones don't perform as good as Nvidia's. Performance on non ray-traced games is great though

not rocking a Slot II Pentium 2

I shiggy diggy

I'm still on a base 1660 and it's still good enough for almost everything as long as you use FSR. I've been playing everything at 60 FPS still, the only game it's struggled with so far were Monster Hunter Wilds and Black Myth Wukong.

Akshually PS5 equivalent would be RX 6700(non-xt)

What the fuck are you buying in order to spend $10,000 a year? AI gooning websites do not count as videogames.

Is the 6700xt a bad card?

Generally no, just don't get ripped off.

It's a decent card. The current market price is $200 for the card. Keep in mind this is first generation of raytracing hardware for amd.

erm actually it's an ARM9-26EJ-S

my 970 is still going strong since my 4070 died

be the time anon finally caves in and installs the card, the newest games require more than 12GB of VRAM

not buying the latest RTX x090 each year

ngmi

"I can afford food and shelter."

WHOA, stop flaunting your luxury bro.

You are a fucking retard.

all your hobbies are just a luxury bro

Honestly, faggots like you deserve to eat the bugs and to live in the pods. Fucking sub human trash that you are.

till plays everything I want to play

Like what.

I only have a 1650 but I pay $200 plus tax plus tip each year for GeForce Now so I basically have a 4080 for peanuts hehe
Next year they should upgrade to 5080 too

Do you not understand how to read price numbers? Far more than $10k worth of new hardware is released each year; and that's just hardware, not games or subscriptions or any other normal expenses of playing video games. Pull your head out of the sand and take a look at the industry for 2 seconds.

bought 6700xt after the covid/crypto price crashes

techpowerup and youtubers say it's a 4k gpu except in cyberpunk

amd website says it's a 1440p gpu

have 1080p monitors. Buy it as an overkill 1080p gpu that'll last me years

underestimate the laziness of the industry

monster hunter wilds, doom the dark ages, black myth wukong, even the """indie""" darling expedition 33 need settings turned down as low as medium to hit 60fps at 1080p without upscaling

Could be better, could be worse.

i miss my 1070
1660 super is good but my 1660 super pc has a4 core cpu and its ass

Jeet hands typed this.

throw in i7 7700k

jeet hands typed the thing telling me that anything above dirt poor is a luxury

Good job, brown retard.

monkey having a fit

uh oh stinky

6800xt still hanging in there

He's right though. Every hobby is by definition a luxury.

Is this the new browoid strategy? You just call other people brown?

Enjoy thinking that not living on a curb and begging for money is "luxury". Nuke inida when.

This looks like a semantics issue.

The word luxury is now primarily used as a marketing buzzword to sell pink-gold trash to Arabs and 300$ sneakers to basketball americans

Wrong. Imagine being this much of a jeet. You're mind broken by your caste system into believing that any amount of endorphin release is "luxury". Slavery was a mercy for you people.

Got it SH for 132$. My whole build is just SH parts (except storage and PSU), and I think it is pretty comfy. I don't game anything that demanding on 2K so I don't feel the need for that much.
RX6600, i7-9700k, Arch with KDE . My 850W PSU is overkill, but otherwise yeah, pretty comfy experience
Oh yeah, since the whole GPU fiasco, I'm never buying new, looking for SH stuff from people who aren't massive sellers. It depends, but at least here scalping isn't that insane, it's mostly people overestimating their builds a lot.

I’ve made a LOOOOOT of people angry by mentioning that I have a 3060 ti 8GB, so I guess that counts? Many people believe it’s extremely old and can’t play anything.

Actually for mentally ill protestants anything that is not strictly required for survival is "a luxury"

Low end starts at RX 580 and below

The mx150 in my laptop is so slow any attempt at using FSR or loseless scaling results in FPS loss.

Got it SH for 132$

based

RX6600, i7-9700k, Arch with KDE . My 850W PSU

That's around 300W MAX load full throttle lmao

Having a hobby was a sign of status until recently, and for many people, it still is.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobby

PC gaming in particular is something only the top half of Americans and global 1% can afford. This is why consoles far outsell PCs in America.

You aren’t doing so well by calling your own White countrymen “jeets”. Reminder that racism outside of Anon Babble isn’t allowed, because at this point you’re just lashing out at your neighbors.

saar please give us vidya at discount because vidya is a necessity not luxury saar

lmao

Take the L. You were wrong, kiddo.

Tired of being poor =(

It will have some shenanigans through no fault of its own. Like UE5 games sending its fans into overdrive, for example.

Is it me or is there no actually reasonable and sane upgrade option from a 3060 Ti? Not that I need it, but I'm actually curious what the hell is even a real, smart, genuine option. It feels like there's not gonna be an option until like 2029 or something.

3060ti

midrange

nigga what

DLSS has already extended 3060 Ti's lifespan.

all academics are protestants

Win Home edition

TPM

Secure Boot

You surely are poor, intellectually.

Only thing stopping me from upgrading is because it means a new PSU as well.

It doesn't change anything whether I have it activated or not.

My 3090 is hanging in there.

What the fuck do you want to upgrade?
We didn't get ANY price/performance increase in the last 5 years at least.

If you need more performance, you need to shell out more money. Literally nothing changed (which is grim).

We're to the point where $60 ebay cards will rape the shit out of that. Time to upgrade if you're even semi-interested in any game from the last 3 years or the future.
2060 super/2070
There's no point in buying rdna2/3 unless you get an insane deal. Keep in mind they comparatively perform worse than nvidia in ue5, and also remember back to when all these AAA studios announced they were switching to ue5
I would say so. At native 1080p you're looking at 30fps for basically everything or an uncapped framerate. At least low end turing and ampere you have ai niggery to fall back on.

still plays everything I want to play.

only thing that matters. kinda idiotic to buy a 5090 just to continue playing lol

Performance per dollar hasn't gone up since the 30 series so unless you upgrade to a 1000 dollar or higher gpu then you're wasting your money

My 3060 is ok on 1080p medium on latest games

But I NEED RTX 5090 for Quake!

Stop upgrading you fucking retards.
Your just browsing Anon Babble anyways.

Poorfag bros, whatever happened with the intel gpus? Weren’t they going to save us?

MH made me upgrade and I kinda regret it.

Give it to me straight bros... is it over for me?

People with cards so new don't usually consider upgrades yet.

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

upgrading for monhun

Akshulally it would be more like a 5700/6700 hybrid.

I've had my rig with no alterations done to it for 13 years. I am happy for it. I will drop another 8k so I can get 10 more years.

of course im browsing Anon Babble, my GPU can't run games because i havent upgraded

woah, specs?

my GPU can't run games because i havent upgraded

t. 4090Ti owner

have a gtx 1660 super twin fan I got for 100 dollars last winter. Plays everything I want. and the newest aaa slop are so shittily optimised there is just no need

If it comes to that I will quit gaming. Already I only play old stuff and emulate

I have a 6600xt struggles with oblivion remaster but plays everything else I enjoy at 1440p

What is wrong with your MB temperature bro . there is a problem either get more fans or change motherboard

I do. Dont listen to the retards I can play red dead 2 and almost everything except clair obscure oblivion remake and monster hunter wilds

I'm in the same situation. I want to switch from my 6700 XT, but I can't justify it. 600 euros for a 5070 with 12GB of VRAM is stupid. The 9070 is around 650. Stupid prices.

Optimization is dead and instead of developing proper games devs rely on GPU to do all the work. Your card is fine

a gtx 1660 super twin fan I got for 100 dollars

Retard

rx 7600 is more powerful than a gtx 1080 for under 300 dollars

waitchads have won

I bet the 9060 will be even better value

GTX 1650*
ftfy

No but it's not really worth getting anymore.

Is there a non meme reason to upgrade from 3060 12GB?

no you should wait for the 6060 where there's a high likelihood of it having more than 8gbs and sell it off then for a discount

12 GB VRAM is nice but the 3060's raw horsepower is fairly weak. And 1080p output looks really bad in the age of temporal rendering.

I have a 60Hz 1440p monitor, I honestly don't give a fuck about higher than 60 FPS gaming, it's a meme. So far I can run everything at 1440p at worst with DLSS balanced.

3080

GTX 745 :)

about higher than 60 FPS gaming, it's a meme

not caring about it i understand
a meme? you're fucking blind

There's a massive difference in motion clarity and smoothness between 60fps and 120+fps. If you don't care about it then it's fine but to call higher refresh rate gaming a meme is a cope. Modern LCD monitors have godawful motion clarity at 60hz.

I have a ROG Ally with a 120Hz screen so I know what it looks like, I can play old stuff at that frame rate on it. It really is an unnecessary luxury and the poster child of diminishing returns. 30 FPS to 60 FPS is a massive difference, it even feels different to play, but 60 to 120 is just some extra motion clarity.

the 3050 is slower than the 1660ti btw

thanks for the input rabbis

I'm so out of the loop, I wouldn't even know what would be worth picking up now. My most demanding game is Desperados III.

TRVKE

I have a bro gaming on a 1050 mobile. God bless his soul. I offered to sell him a laptop with a 3060mobile for cheap but he just can't make it and has other priorities.

AAA slop doesn't even run at 120fps on the highest of rigs so there's really not much of a point of upgrading t. running on a cooked out 4070

Can't you just get le motion clarity for free on a 120hz display if you run the game at 60 and do black frame insertion?

This. Even browsing at 60hz looks like ass now. I don't care if you can't hit 120fps but having a high-refresh rate monitor for daily use is almost a necessity now. Saying otherwise is actual poorfag cope.

5070 ti

he bought the 50 series

Out of curiosity what do you think is a good price for a 3060 laptop?

cool cope

It boggles my mind with how poorfags cope

GTX 960.
Can play everything without problems except Unreal 5 slop, unless it is very optimized for low end (usually not happening).
Lately busy with emulators playing older console games. Can even handle the PS3 emulator perfectly. So, decided to postpone buying a new PC and waitchad.

There's a huge difference between playing a game and scrolling text. Of course my phone is 120Hz, even the cheapest androids have had that for years, and I don't browse text on my desktop because I'm not an animal.

4070 super costs the same if not more. assuming its in stock

browse on phone

You're a jeet basically.

I'm a 38 years old non virgin White man without a neckbeard.

It's an alright card. Runs fairly cool, too.

rofl bro says over 60 fps is a meme but uses above 1080p what a loser

2070

It SUCKS. That said I don't PC game at all anymore. I just find consoles more comfy. This GPU was good for a deep-learning course I took though.

Sapphire RX6600

it plays everything, even nu games
I really want to play Doom Eternal but i need at least a locked 60, maybe the FSR options will get me there. besides that, other nu games I want to play are Stellar Blade which has promising performance according to min and rec specs.

saar

This, what a fake poorfag poser

this is every retard Anon Babble lol

Then you should be good to go imho. Soo many younger types expect e-sports levels of frames (120+ fps) for *all* games sadly, all those opinions needs to be filtered-out.

Of course, you'll feel the age of your gpu if you try running any games that are more so made for high-end cards. Games like Oblivion Remastered, which use a ton of new tech like Lumen. Imho it's becoming a thing where too much shit is getting crammed into their pipelines/workloads.
On a good-note, that all can be worked around by changing some values in an ini text file, inside the game files.

I have a 1650 Super too and I still play modern games on it, just need to set textures to low, which is basically high from 5 years ago anyway

Soo many younger types expect e-sports levels of frames (120+ fps) for *all* games sadly, all those opinions needs to be filtered-out.

Imagine being a poorfag AND a millennial, holy shit

finally gonna out a 1060 in my Optiplex 9020, now I can play games from 2017 ooooooooooooo
eventually ill end up getting some real upgrades for emulation and something a little future proofed for new games, will probably end up playing the new BF6 for better or worse

1080p and 60hz isn't so bad if you never ever try a better monitor

Even then you get used to it again in a few days if you see nothing else

As long as the Series S and PS4 are still being officially supported we're good.
Switch 2 also keeping us afloat a bit.

I'm sticking with amd, but what's a good cost efficient upgrade to a 7600?

Switch 2 is on the level of a 2050 when docked, and on the level of an imaginary 1650 with basic ray tracing when handheld

If you have the money(which isn't even much unless you're an ultra poorfag) you'll eventually get it anyways.

the retard saying to just get used to it

You can tell it's an actual poorfag because he thinks saving a measly hundred dollars for something he'll use for years is worth it. Same reason why poorfag Amerimutts use shitty curtains/blinds that don't even cover the window instead of something actually proper.

shalom

It's the truth lmao. It's peak delusion when people think it's bad when a new game in current day is a 60fps game. The recent Monster Hunter game is a superb example of this.
For some reason people became soo delusional and egotistical if/when their high-end gpu doesn't deliver a superior performance compared to lower-end cards. This is practically a human/social behavior at this point, you could compare it with people and sports/luxury cars in some ways.

1080p is and has been poorfag territory for 3 years. 3060ti does not cut it for 1440p 60fps

Your definition of "everything I want to play" is governed precisely by what your card can and cannot do.

Kek this. I had a 750ti for a long time and I didn't even have to consciously tell myself

just stick to older games and don't bother with new ones

because my brain already did it subconciously. All games too heavy for my GPU were games I told myself never to bother with anyway, kind of how when a girl is so far out of your league you don't even bother checking her out. But as soon as I got a GTX1080 the definition of "everything I want to play" suddenly expanded.

They started development on PS4 and it'll have to run on Series S, really doubt it'll ask more than a 2060

i'm still using the 7850x i bought during peak mining years

it might be time to upgrade
unless...

I love how not even poorfags here want to support Intel, which is literally made for you guys. Not to mention their cards have a hefty amount of VRAM compared to NVIDIA's recent offerings. Are their cards not sold in your guys' countries or something?

or wait it's 7850k not x

Not even a 5080 does if you want to max everything. 1080p is still very real, they just call it DLSS nowadays.

Intel Arc cards are a completely unproven wild card and are rumored not to run pre-DX12 games smoothly.

10 series cards are not getting drivers updates anymore after this year

Radeon RX 5500 8GB

You won't stop me! New cards are just too fucking expensive, and I thought about getting a 9060. But 700 quid for one single item in my machine? No fucking way in hell. I'll keep my clunky graphics.

You can cope all you want but unless you're living in the woods completely self sustained you're contributing as a consumer in some way anyways. You're just too retarded to spend smart as is the usual case with all the coping poors.

The Series S and Switch 2 will save us bros

3060ti

I don't think I'll be upgrading for another 2 years honestly. Not that I can't afford it, but there's nothing worth upgrading over.

Basically doesn't exist and cost way more than the AMD equivalent for some reason. Also sucks for old games.

you have 4 more gigs of vram than me rich boy

And that 1650 is what will ensure the low-end users will continue to be able to play new releases in acceptable quality.

Yeah I'd love not being able to play anything released before 2020

RX 6600

I'd buy a 9060XT 16gb at MSRP $349
we'll have to wait a while for sales
Intel GPUs don't work on linux, or do they?

Legion Go for $450

Where?

It was an open box deal in January

What retards ITT don't understand is that it's not a question of whether 120fps is better than 60, it obviously is. The question is, is it $1.5k better? Fuck no it isn't.

Unless you're REALLY fucking poor, like living-meal-to-meal poor, you should save up for a good GPU and monitor if you really like games. If you're going to stare at your computer for hours every day for the foreseeable years, don't be stupid, get something decent. Stop buying sweets and snacks and shit, buy cheap ingredients on sales. Stop buying beer or cigars, stop betting, stop wasting money on shit you don't need, stop buying vape juice. It'l take a few weeks or months and you'll have excess money you can spend on a hobby that's a big part of your day.

1. My wife wouldn't let me spend that much on games
2. My wife doesn't allow me to play for hours every day

I'd stretch the graphics on ultra low to play it in 1440p.

you have to sell your wife and acquire a better one from a local microcenter

All reasonable when a strong card costs 300 and would warrant a leap from your old performance. But most of the time, the midrange cards start at 500 and more. Who would want to save up that much? And you'd probably feel cheated again the second they release the next batch of cards.

the only meaningful upgrade to that right now is 9070 and maybe 7800XT

Honestly this is why I just said fuck it and bought a PS5.

But the problem is that it's not $1.5k more. It's like a few hundred dollars more and that's including the monitor. Like how poorfag do you have to be?

BR here, they don't exist and the prices are fucking retarded. No one is buying them over AMD.
E.g. (largest hardware retailer, lowest priced model)

B570 - R$1999,99
RX 6600 - R$1659,99
RX 7600 - R$1729,99
RTX 4060 - R$2199,99
RTX 5060 - R$2599,99

Stick to the 7600 for now, consider getting a 9070XT if you ever catch it on a sale. On the Nvidia side maybe a used 4070 ti super is the closest thing to good value with futureproofing, but that card has actually gone up in price since th 5000 series released lol.

Bullshit, if I wanted to move to reliable 120fps gaming from my current 3060, I'd have to buy a 4080 or a 5070 at the least, which is more than a "couple hundred dollars".

Those are what I'm looking at at the moment, I like the thing a lot, but I figured moving from 8gb to 16 would be good.

My psu has a max at 850, and I was wondering if that'll be fine for those.

Don't you macaques have a 100% tariff on tech imports? You are, as the young ones say, cooked.

he bought a low end nvidia gpu

a 30xx even

lmao I upgraded from a 1070 to 4070S. I'll use this rig for another 8 years.

i dont think itll matter much for my old hardware and the old games im trying to play
although tbf i am somewhat tech illiterate in this field

I like playing games older than valorant

So no thanks

which is literally made for you guys

they are overpriced and cucked by the drivers thay are made for no one other than those who are bored and have too much money in their pockets

spending extra on a gpu to play 120fps in what though
the newest openworld game? some shitty battle royale?
do high end card owners even play at a locked 4k 120 on the newest titles

Around 60%, but companies have much lower tariffs. The thing is, there's basically 3 big retailers and they set the prices to whatever the fuck they want.

the RX 6600 and 7600 both have actually decent generational uplift from each other and both can be bought between $180 - 240.
I'd just buy one of those instead and get longer driver support.

do high end card owners even play at a locked 4k 120 on the newest titles

Natively, no. With DLSS yeah.

from what I've seen in benchmarks 16GB seems to mostly make a difference in raytracing, which makes sense because the scene has to be doubled in memory for that to work

My psu has a max at 850, and I was wondering if that'll be fine for those.

For which CPU/GPU? Unless you're using something extremely powerhungry, 850 watts should be enough for basically everything. I'm using a 5800X3D + 4070TIS (275 watt card) with a 650W PSU and never had any problems.

spending extra on a gpu to play 120fps in what though

The games I've already been playing? I think the most demanding one was HL:Alyx, but it's still nice being able to play games at a higher & stable framerate and resolution in general. It's just a nice bonus for me since I use a PC for other shit and also AI. If you're using a PC basically like a glorified PS5 then just stick to the cheapest and shittiest GPU.

I have an 8700f, which shouldn't be crazy.

the 3060TI is going to be the new 1080TI a few years from now.
NVIDIA made the mistake of actually making a good card at a decent price and won't be repeating that mistake,
realistically wait until 2030 for a low end card that finally supplants it.

the 3060TI is going to be the new 1080TI a few years from now.

no

the 3060TI is going to be the new 1080TI a few years from now.

Not with 8GBs of VRAM it won't. 1080ti had 11GBs at a time when 4GBs was the norm.

seems like that's going to bottle the newer more powerful GPU's honestly

Yeah, if it had 16GB we might be talking, but 8GB isn't enough to futureproof it into GOAT status.

8GB meme

everytime someone mentions this you have to remind them NVIDIA and AMD are STILL releasing 8GB cards in 2025, that these 8GB cards are going to be the ones used in the pre-builts that 90% of people will buy and that developers are still going to have to develop games to run within a 8GB VRAM limit for a while.
it might not look good or run above 1080p but you are stuck with it for another good couple of years even if you want PC gaming to go past it.
even more so with the switch 2 running at the equivalent of a gtx 1050.

A single 4K texture takes up 64MB of VRAM

I wish the 1650S had at least 6GB, mine is OC'd to the point it outperforms a stock 1660, but 4GB VRAM...

the 3060TI is going to be the new 1080TI a few years from now.

1080ti really spoiled these larping poorfags kek.

b-but it will run!

It will run like shit. Which is unacceptable for a new card that's sold for premium.

$300 third world bananas. It cost me $1000.

nigger read my post

1080p

only a utter retard would try to run 4K resolution on a 8GB card.
the division will be 1080P mode versus 1440P / 4K mode.

Definitely amazing how those cards are still produced in this day and age. They are immediate electronic waste the second they roll out the factory.
Companies should be hold accountable at this point for this retardation and pay a fine.

athlon x4 750k

Hanging in there, barely.

how the fuck are u calling that low end u fuckin scum i am on mx350 and i dont even consider that low end, i can play all my favs at 720p, only 2gb memory and on a laptop FUCK YOU !!!!!!

and why do you think NVIDIA has been pushing DLSS so much ?
it's so it can artificially prop up it's line of 8GB cards.
mark my words, the RTX 6060 will be a 8GB card.

The latest Doom is probably the only game out there that doesn't run on a 1650 Super.

Yeah, you're a far bigger retard suggesting people should buy brand new 1080p cards this day and age.

I'm not suggesting people buy them.
I just know they will be the cheapest option available and will sell the most.
they will be a 1080P card + DLSS setup.

It should at 720 upscaled

My 580 runs Oblivion fine at 1440p and that's UE5.
It's an unbelievably good card, I can't believe it's still good enough.

Laptop 3070, plays rdr2 @ 3440x1440 @ 60 fps at high-ultra settings with low fan speeds so I’m pretty happy

Hard RT requirement

nta but there are games where you already have to lower the texture to like low on a 8gb on 1080p or else it looks like actual ass. 8gb especially for future proofing is not good enough. also

1080p in this day and age

and people were laughing at consolefags for taking 10 years to move onto ssd's lmao.

30 fps

Just disable it, lmao
youtube.com/watch?v=M_67qSUYIm4

1080P mode versus 1440P / 4K mode

do you want to know how I know you're console nigger cattle?

tfw even ancient AMD cards can be hacked to support raytracing these days

Anotha AMD win

I have the poorfag special, 4060 + 5700x3d, see you in 4 years nerds

laptop rtx 3060

Stopped playing new games, I just don't care about nuslop anymore. Makes for a pretty good modded Minecraft machine.

Didn't know people already found a way to bypass it. That probably means 40fps+ on a 1650 Super. Still sucks since it could run Eternal at Ultra Nightmare at around 90fps, but better than nothing.

all these anon's sperging out at the suggestion 8GB will be carried artificially by frame generation into the following years

just because you don't like reality doesn't make it go away.

how?

I gotta admit that low-end gaming was way more fun than high-end. Tinkering with game settings and .ini files to get a playable framerate will never get old.
sucks that you gotta do it on top-tier hardware nowadays

MFW GTX1050Ti 2GB

that sucked even back in the day lol
why would you buy the 2GB version

Just solder more vram on it

Linux and wine plus a mod. Don't bother it doesn't actually fucking work.

Its finally time to stop buying the 580, 5700xt, and 10 series.

Um what? You mean the base 1050? Or does there actually exist a 2GB version of 1050 Ti?

I have a 6600
I'm playing Death Stranding at over 100 fps

2gb when even 970 had 3.5gb

1070 gave you 8gb

lmao

I'm still running GTX 950, sister!! Just finished Blue Prince a game from 2025, it ran fine!

playing a game made for a console equivalent to a HD 7850 from 2012 on 10 year newer hardware

Woahh...

It's actually possible, but not worth it unless you have a 3070 or something like that.

8GB will be carried artificially by frame generation into the following years

Frame generation is VRAM intensive kek.

For personal reasons, right now I'm using a "hand-me-down" prebuilt gaming pc... And that's what it came with. I was surprised to find such a weird GPU inside.

tfw going from a 1060 3gb to a 5070ti

Finally...
I just need my Arctic MX-4 thermal paste and UPS to ship.

Unprecedented slave mentality.

U sure it's a 1050Ti? Only the 1050 and the 1050Ti mobile version got 2GB, unless it's one of these aliexpress specials lol

going from 3gb to 16gb

based, grats anon.

Back in my day 4GB was considered massive

I've been using my RX 570 with a 1080p monitor for years and it runs everything I want to play smoothly and the games look great. Aside from what I'm playing now, I have a whole backlog of games that will run at max settings with this setup, so I'm not going to run out of games anytime soon. I have no interest in these modern fotm titles that waste half your ssd with their install size yet look so bland and generic.

intel alpha testing gpu is only for rich white people with too much time and money on their hands playing around with it
nobody actually buy that gpu in true poorfag land, they are way more expensive than jewvidia and ayymd offerings
rx 6600 is the most popular poorfag option
nvidia that doesn't kill your wallet? 3050 or 4060

I bought a 4070 just to play in 4K 144hz what I used to play 1080p 60hz on my RX480

garbage techtubers and ledditors shilled b580 way too hard it gaslighted first world peeps this is the best gpu for poorlads in third world
its an overpriced dogshit gpu for third world countries, people would rather buy amd

I got an i5-8600k and 8GB 580. I only want to upgrade to get better performance with PS3 emulation, darktide, and FFXIV but even then I'm fine with what I have and nothing released in the last few years or announced recently has me itching to play asap.

dont care my gaming rig is completely offline. I had a sapphire rx580 and the last time did a driver update the pc bricked itself.

darktide

my condolences

what cpu? for reference. I'm not interesting in 1080+ gaming

Unironically. it requires CPUs which in reality won't be paired on

At least where I am 3050 pricing never made any sense. For like 50€ more you could get the much better 4060 or 3060. For like 50€ less you could get RX 6600 which on top of being cheaper performs better. You'd need to have an incredibly specific budget and preferences for 3050 to make sense. At least """3050""" 6gb (3040 as it should be called) makes sense for getting all the power from the PCie slot.

Upgrade to a RX7600 a few months ago

"this should be enough to play Silent Hill f at 1080p and thats the only new game i remotely give a shit about"

look at requirements today

i d..d.do'nt feel so g-ggood

I still have fun with it

been running my RTX 2060 since 2019 or so but I want to play Todd's new remaster so I'm gonna grab a 3060ti from one of my friends. My trusty Ryzen 2600 will probably need replacing sometime in the future as well.

It may, I'm dealing with replacements one at a time at the moment though.

i7-4790K

believe it or not there are people that can`t afford good enough cpu that doesn't bottleneck 6600 or 4060, like those old intel cpu
3050 is the perfect option for their poorfag gaming like valorant dota 2 cs
also amd stopped manufacturing rx 6600, but theres still brand new 3050
don't even mention the used market, its overpriced scam in my poorfag country

GTX 1080 R5 1600

1440p 144hz display

Surprisingly good experience because I don't play triple A games released after 2019
I would upgrade the CPU first but my budget AM4 mobo can't run anything recent so I'll have to upgrade the entire rig

Just means you have utterly shit taste. If you unironically think the game is good, anyone should immediately ignore your opinion on anything. Your opinion so shit you actively hurt any game you recommend.

I got the 4070ti super 16gb, wish I'd got the 4080 super instead
Although the Asus proart card looks very nice either way

man 7600 is so much cheaper than 4060 in your country, theres barely any difference here everyone just buy 4060

A 7600 or 7700 cpu looks like it'll be good for the price if I pair it with a 7800xt. Thanks anon!

Thanks a lot unreal engine 5!

Imo if a video game doesn't run on a 1660 or other modern low-end GPUs, it's shit.

1070 is still holding on.

Certain games do very much become a 30 - 50 odd frame experience (a lot of that in many cases is 100% shit optimisation, original ARK proves that), but my boomer eyes can tolerate it. I COULD upgrade if I so wished, but I'll use the same hardware as long as I can since it's still good enough.

Are the stock coolers for ryzen cpus actually bad or is that just reddit kvetching?

I'm a massive poorfag I'm not joking I was using Windows XP Pentium 4 until five or six years ago. I'm still shocked that PS2 emulation just worX now, even with a $30 GPU

so poor he doesn't know the 4090Ti doesn't exist

I hope your life gets better, anon.

reddit kvetching

Thank you, anon. I'm still new to this

OG wraith could tame 250W tdp minumum beast that was vishera
if it's the same one you'll be fine, but maybe they cut cost with the newer ones

I just upgraded since I'm switching to Linux before Win10 support ends. 3060TI to 7900XT. I probably made a mistake for not getting 9070XT instead since the bloated price points are similar here. But I wanted more VRAM for generating goonslop, which also has the issue of being generally worse on AMD.

up to a certain point, yes
but beyond that point no not at all

Still playing on an ASUS prebuilt I bought on sale almost 10 years ago. I have like 4,000 CAD saved up for a new rig but I'm too lazy to follow through. I'm only a 1080p guy anyway so my 980 is hanging on somehow.

If you are happy with 1080 there probably isn't a reason to upgrade. Especially given how much of an investment 1440p would be.

is am4 still a viable platform for the newest gpus?

no.

Depends on resolution. It's more viable at 4k since the CPU doesn't have to supply as many frames per second, but I wouldn't deadend into an old socket if I didn't have to.

With an X3D CPU, yes. 5600X3D/5700X3D/5800X3D aren't going to bottleneck you in anything for the next few years. But you can't really upgrade on AM4 beyond that, that's the endof the line.

Only 5800X3D or 5700X3D are viable, but at their current prices those aren't worth it anymore.
Open world garbage is very CPU demanding due to all the data streaming.
AM5 is better idea, DDR5 is cheap, B650 boards are cheap just drop 7500F into that and you are set.

should I bite the bullet?
There's 2 deals in front of me, one is the 8500G and the other is the 8600G. The rest of components are the same for 16GB. $400 vs $465. I haven't seen a better deal yet. I'd go for the same deal with an 8700G but it goes beyond my current budget.

yeah honestly not even a cope
cuz i have a ps5 and i dont bother playing games that dont run on 1660 super there either
1660 super runs doom eternal like 100 fps rofl on ultra
with a i5 7500

Why do you want to buy APU?

Can't afford GPU right now really

Yes but lga 1700 is even cheaper and more viable

You understand that even 1080p is already touching 10-11gb territory, right?

Running Doom TDA on my rig I haven't upgraded since before Doom Eternal came out

i7 8700k from 2017

RTX 2070 Super from 2019

32GB DDR4

1TB NVME M.2 SSD from 2019

have to set DLSS to Ultra Performance or play in 1080p to avoid awful stuttering that makes the game practically unplayable

I estimate I only got another year or two before this build becomes unviable for newer releases.

Texture cache setting. Game has no issues with stuttering even on 8gb cards as long as that's set appropriately.

what MB do you have?

Also using a 1650S and it plays literally everything I want. I see no need to upgrade unless it dies.

What should it be set to?

8GB

Kinda sucks, iGPU in 8600G is worse than GTX 1060
On top of that it shares memory with the rest of your system so 16GB will fill up rather quickly.
Maybe you should check used market instead.

Oh if you meant mobo it's an Asrock idk

I'm still using some iGPU from 2014. I literally haven't had any reason to upgrade.

Still using my GT650

that doesn't seem wise in my country. I understand what the APU deal is but my other options are cheaper, worse CPU or way more expensive to include a GPU. The idea is to eventually upgrade parts bit by bit. Seems more feasible. And then I could even upgrade just the CPU compared to right now that I can't really do any of that.

Doesn't really make sense. I despise TDA for it's forced gaytracing but even on weaker GPUs than that it doesn't stutter. i7-8700k being the problem is a bit more plausible (still I don't think it should be that bad), but in that case DLSS shouldn't help.

still using the rx 480 nitro by sapphire @ 720p

You're VRAM limited. Lower texture cache until it stops stuttering.

for 8gb it's 2560 at 1080p or 2048 at 1440p.

RT reflections are disabled on low

The best thing you can do is try to set aside $3k for a latest release at some point, then ride that for as many years as possible. It's only going to get worse and you will eventually be unable to find any way to maintenance your GPU because its parts will stop existing.

4GB or 8GB?
I'm stuck on 4 ;-;

I wish I could give some poor Anon Babbleirgin my old GTX 1050 Ti.

8GB but I doubt I'm doing much better than you in terms of performance 2bh

If used market is fucked in your country then sure. Grab 8600G then because 8500G has even worse iGPU, much worse.
Remember to tweak the memory you can also OC the iGPU.

Do better and give it to a kid for like $5 through facebook marketplace

If i were to ever upgrade it would be for a VR set but otherwise I have had no compelling gaming reason for a decade.

My 2010 computer can still play everything I want, it choked out a bit on Black Mesa and CS2 but I mostly play indies and RTS now.

an AM4 cpu+mobo combo + something like a 5700XT is like 300$-350$ on the used market and you can slot in a 5700X3D for super cheap from aliexpress which is a top 5 gaming CPU (anything X3D really).

Both the CPU and GPU don't really cut it in modern releases if you want to play games with minimal amounts of vaseline.An X3D CPU and something like a 4070 AT LEAST is the bare minimum nowadays if you don't want your game to look like a PS360-gen game for some fucking reason.

9070XT or a 5070ti, Nvidia greed and resource bloat made sure the last 2 gens are the only 'real' choices if you don't want shitty blurriness or vaseline smearing with ghosting in the very near future. The next gen consoles are right around the corner too, so ANOTHER jump in recommended specs soonTM

I was talking about Doom TDA specifically.

So was I, add +20FPS for 1080p and cut 1% lows in half for an 8 year old CPU.

Yeah, shit's not trustworthy over here. I wish I could just buy a second hand GPU that someone got feed up and wants to sell on a place like ebay or whatever. No such option.

Got an HD Graphics (Ironlake) from a 2010 CPU. It doesn't play everything I want to play. But, it's serviceable.

My 580 runs Oblivion fine at 1440p

Why would you lie like that? I also have a 580 and it barely reaches 60fps in 1080p FSR3 quality mode.

no such deal like that overhere bro. We are so behind that fucking optiplex refurbished shit can reach 350 easy.

i got a job in december and now that i've put some money on the side, i'm looking to upgrade. got a chance to get a 4070 super TI from a friend for 680 euros, is that a good price should i go for it?

Don't bother, a 9070XT could be purchased for 50-100 euro more while being ~30% better.

By which metric is a 9070XT ~30% better than 4070 Ti Super? It's like 5-10% better depending on game.

Unreal engine still works on 1650/1660
So besides gaytracing forced games(doom and?) everything new is playable on them
