Exactly. There are plenty of people that just want to upgrade an old GPU and anything modern would be a massive improvement. I'm still rocking a 1070 for 1080p

Exactly. There are plenty of people that just want to upgrade an old GPU and anything modern would be a massive improvement. I'm still rocking a 1070 for 1080p/60 gaming and would love to jump to 4K/60 gaming but just can't convince myself to buy a new GPU at current prices.

I refuse to engage with the current GPU pricing insanity, so my 5900x is currently paired with a 960 GTX. When Intel enters the market it will be another factor in driving pricing back down, so might play Cyberpunk in 2022...

  If you really want to play Cyberpunk on PC, and don't want to buy a new GPU.. playing it on Stadia is an option (especially if you have a GPU that can support VP9 decoding). I played it at 4K/1080p, and it looked pretty good. However, I think if you want the best graphics fidelity (i.e. 4K RayTracing), then you probably do want to just get a high end video card. Disclosure: Work at Google, but not on Stadia.

    Spouse bought me a copy on steam before understanding that I needed a new system to play it. Being a single player experience, I can wait for it. I did advise several co-workers to go that route.

    It's always a quiet little pleasure when someone uses "disclosure" correctly. :)

i wanna get a good Alyx setup to finally try VR, but with the gpu market the way it is, looks like my RX480 4GB will be sticking around for another 5yrs - it's more expensive now than it was 4 yrs ago (used), and even then it was already 2yrs old. batshit crazy; no other way to describe it :(
