I got a 3090 in the depths of the 2021 GPU shortage and for my purposes (mainly JRPGs) I can still run basically every new game at 4k max settings. I don't really see much need to upgrade.
Wonder if the AI rush will result in a situation where the state of the art is so far beyond what's needed for gaming that gpus won't be a bottleneck anymore.
- DanielHB 2y agoI got a 3080 which I managed to pre-order at MSRP, up until ~1.5 year ago that thing was selling for more than I payed for it in the used market. > Wonder if the AI rush will result in a situation where the state of the art is so far beyond what's needed for gaming that gpus won't be a bottleneck anymore. I dunno, it seems the scaling is different for AI. Like AI is more about horizontal scaling and gaming is more about vertical scaling (after you get to native 4k resolutions).
- Tronno 2y agoAny additional capability will be quickly filled with bloat, especially in the video game industry, where optimization is for post-release. Expect a lot of creatively bankrupt tech demos with eye-watering hardware requirements.
- Ekaros 2y agoOh and DLSS 4.0. A lot of AI frames, with actual responsive frame rate entering into cinematic territory...
- butchkass 2y agoMan I sure love some blurry mess of pixels that looks like it’s straight out of the Wii U catalogue and requires a 4070 to run a 1080p60 Graphics programming is a lost art, buried deep below an *unreal* amount of abstraction layers
- jaredhallen 2y agoI see what you did there.
- frooxie 2y agoAn RTX 5090 is nowhere near enough if you want to play graphically demanding games on the latest high-resolution VR headsets. Many are close to 4k*4k per eye, so essentially an 8k screen that needs to run at a stable 90 fps not to cause nausea, and ideally higher.
