Let's debunk this one more time. $3,000 would get you a pretty top end rig in 1997. Fast forward to today, and that's about $6,200. For reference, I built the rig in my signature just shy of two years ago for about $6,500 give or take. However...
PC gaming is cooked until prices come back to an affordable level. The 5090 long ago exceeded that, so it being discontinued hardly matters. Going to be some seriously bored enthusiasts for the next two years or even longer.
Its time for people to abandon Nvidia. Go AMD, spend our money there so AMD can innovate even more. Maybe even someone else will start making GPUs. But nVidia needs to be forgotten. They lost thier way.
Now you have an "estimate" of when it might ship. Some people in the reservation queue are being told 2027.
Mine says "between now and December 30, 2026".
I really "appreciate" how Amazon will show me front-page listings for on-sale items that I literally just purchased within the last week or two. It's like...gee, thanks, you want me to return everything and rebuy for less?
A reminder that the culture war complainers mistake their loudness for being popular. Most people just want a good game and aren't fussed about the gender or attractiveness of the lead character.
60 FPS was good back when we only had 60 Hz monitors. That time has passed, people are aware of 120 FPS+ now.
DLSS and FG were pretty huge because they allowed for better performance than native and good image quality. Now we're starting to...
It think we need to get performance at a more acceptable level. Ray Tracing is already a huge performance hit, and this on top of that makes it a luxury feature only for those who want to spend 5K on a video card...
Yeah...not terribly thrilled about that info, though I had planned to buy it on both platforms anyway to support the company. I guess that Meta funding came with a cost, and this is it.
Still, being able to play standalone seems pretty cool...
