I hate these people. Yeah, I’m sure demand for older shit is rising as people want to need to upgrade, but are priced out or have availability issues on the newer stuff.

Am I just broken and jaded or does everything the rich dips do look like orphan crushing?

I think the word they’re looking for is stagnation.

I have a 3070, that's a 6 year old card, the way things are going it's gonna be the only card I have for a long while

Give up AAA gaming and it will be the only card you need for even longer.

I don't play AAA and I still run a 970...

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 6 points 17 hours ago

Oh I don't really do AAA gaming as is, there haven't particularly been any games that have drawn me from the AAA in many years :3

I have an rtx 3080 and I don't think I can upgrade to a better card for the 750 euros I paid for it back then.

No. Fine wine (allegedly) gets better with time. Meanwhile, I'm praying the caps and fans hold out until the market corrects itself even a little.

I upgraded my 1070ti to a Radeon RX 9060.

I use it to play Stellaris, Battlefield 5 and RDR2.

It runs battlefield 6 beautifully. Which is fine except BF6 is shit.

So I think I'll be good now until the end of time.

... looking at my Radeon RX 7900 XTX

DO 4K AT 120FPS FFS!!!

[–] UntimedDiffusion@piefed.zip 3 points 7 hours ago

Oh you can do 4k at 120fps easily

(*If you use heavy upscaling and frame generation)

(*Oh but, not even the best versions, we lock those to only the most recent cards)
