>you only need the new cards if you are one of those "all ultra 8K 240hz" type of gamers

Sigh... Grabs wallet

As a minor the reason why i hate the 40xx series and would not touch them, nearly hated the 3xxx series for the same reason. No one wants to use Nvidia funny adapters. Even in mining rigs those adapters are horribly dangerous. If anything all the design aspects of this card they put in place was to deter miners.

We don't want huge spacious rigs, we want small compact small footprint stuff.

Wana know why no one has MSI areo 3090 cards?

Thats me except with a gtx 660 lol. Was able to get a 4090 yesterday tho

so? mods aren't required to play the game

Athat and having an old display port version. At least AMD stayed sensible.

Did they imrove VRAM cooling? I heard this was a big issue during the last mining craze…

I’m using a 1060 as well, and I feel patient enough to wait until next year. Most games aren’t v resource intensive, and my backlog of older games is massive.

970 gang! Triple 1080p monitors

Same bro 1080 not the ti but just 1080 and running new games in ultra with 0 problems..

This is unacceptable

More than that honestly. I was rocking a 1070 literally till this year when a friend offered to trade for his 3070 plus 300 cause he thought it was overkill for overwatch and needed some pocket money. If you have 8 gigs of vram you can still run basically anything these days as long as you are willing to lower settings. An RX 480 can fit that criteria

Oof, no mods :(

Solution looking for a problem

I think it is way simpler than that. They can't have doctors systematically recommend to buy apple watches because there is some app on there. If it is FDA approved then it might become possible to have it as a reimbursable for vets. Apple probably saw that there are a lot of vets without Apple watches and an unmet need. More sales for Apple and perhaps some benefits for vets.

Another reason is DP 2.1. The RTX 40 series still uses DP 1.4a. But how good that reason is depends on the availability of DP 2.1 monitors.

It’s crazy that this and for example not having to upgrade your phone every year has to be even mentioned. These companies have managed to create such a huge FOMO to some people that they can’t live without having the newest thing every second of their life.

They have got to move the power to the back

If you managed to get a 3080/3080ti then you can get way more years out of that card than 3/4 unless you're playing some heavy VR stuff, games demands have not gone up significantly like they used to, you only need the new cards if you are one of those "all ultra 8K 240hz" type of gamers or if you stream/play heavy VR games i guess

My 980ti went from 2015 to 2020 playing all games in mostly maxed settings except some in 2020 that recommended 1080. I have a 3080 now so I don’t see any need to get a newer card till 2025 unless something big happens.

People can spend money however they choose.

I'm still on my RTX 2070 from 2019.

1080Ti still going strong here.

270X that needs to support an ultrawide... only old games working full screen here :/

Yes, the Arm has sth to do with it
