I actually rebuilt a computer with an RX580 instead of RX570 this year (as well as a Ryzen 7 1700), because everything else is way more expensive at local stores (vs 140 EUR for the 580), to the point where current gen hardware doesn't feel worth it: I don't catch myself wanting to play any of the modern games that look "amazing" (can't tell characters apart from the scenery in some visually cluttered games), but rather ones that have consistent performance/art style and don't make the fans spin up much.
That said, it's kind of a shame that not many games let you actually pull back the graphical fidelity if you want to, despite the engines themselves often scaling back even to mobile devices. Maybe I'll upgrade in 3-5 years when Wirth's law will catch up way more. Then again, I can kind of understand companies wanting their games not to look "badly", no matter the graphics settings; it just means that indie games are for me, not AAA titles.
- lithos 3y agoPulling back graphical fidelity is a no go. Art team sizes can scale up so much faster than anything else, and AAA competes on how much it can spend/scale up compared to other AAA games or other offerings (like independent/small team games).
- KronisLV 3y agoGood for them! I hope the majority of players enjoy the advancements in modern titles, if they have adequate hardware. I'll just enjoy games like Valheim, No Man's Sky, Cloudpunk and other stylized ones.
- latchkey 3y agoI've run a lot (~120,000+) of 470, 480, 570, 580 gpus and one kind of depressing thing is that they are all complete snowflakes. It is literally luck of the draw on performance. I would suggest learning how to tune them if you really want to pull some performance out.
