Rent a gpu you won't immediatey own to play games you don't actually own? The logo "F**ck That Shite!" will be the new meme and t-shirt of the day for this "gamer" when that crap happens.
That approach is practical and assuming you keep the gpu and game for years afterwards then it makes sense. However the majority of these 2500.00 gpus will be purchased by "enthusiasts" who will in turn sell that gpu and upgrade after 2-3 years...
I agree on purchasing stock when you're young as time is your best ally in that regard, but no matter how old I get I won't justify wasteful spending which is exactly what 2500.00 gpus are. Sure, I can afford it but to me it's a waste of money...
Truth is that's a really dumb mindset that I refuse to indulge in. Yes, can I spend 2500 on a gpu without breaking the bank? Sure I can but for what benefit? When does it start to not make any sense? The herd mentality plays a role here at a site...
At what point do we realize that image quality only gets so good and that we don't really care about the games or the details that go by our screen faster than our eyes can process, but we find ourselves in a cesspool of bragging rights about...
Any time a hot new GPU is released, I look at what else I could buy in IRL instead. Probably why I'm stuck at a 2080Ti. Not that I'd buy it cause I need other stuff (like house things) but @ $2500, that's H&K Mark 23 territory. Then I come to my...
$2500 is not a hobby price whatsoever, that is a price for a professional level card that makes you money. The reality is, Nv has decided to take their pro pricing and slap on a gamer nameplate.
I agree with you. I'm in my early 50's and modern games appeal less to me most of the time anymore, mainly due to the fact that most are geared for online multiplayer. I decided the 4090 is the end of the line for me for graphics cards. By the...
That is going to be epic! I can attest that even with my 60in x3 setup that movie watching is excellent. My wife and I enjoyed the entire Conjuring series this past weekend and she loves it....bezels and all! 😀
I agree with you in spirit but the prices of these gpus combined with the lack of "new" AAA games that appeal to my personal tastes make it difficult to justify spending 2.5k. If there were some truly great AAA games that lit a fire under me I...
It’s not ideal but. As far as my hobbies are concerned, pc gaming ranks among the cheapest even with current and rumored pricing taken into account. Every desert trip I take with my toys is a 2k expenditure and that’s about 4x a year and doesn’t...
