$1500 still gets you an amazing system. Something like an 7800x3d and rx7800xt, probably even better.

I built a very good pc, myself, for 1400cad 2 christmas back. Still going strong. I wanna buy a 7800xt soon and i will he good for atleast 7 more years.

And wages have not increased that much over the past decade!

I used to work summers and buy a medium to high end rig, now I have a full time job and just a gpu of similar performance cost as much as the whole rig would have 10 years ago, that's why I still have a gtx 1070

PCs havent gone up in price......Your dollar is worth LESS , you can buy less now...........fjb

Same. With so much bland, uninspired woke schlock, it's getting harder and harder to justify PC upgrades.

😂 this is failed thinking. This year games are mainly next gen only.

This. The games are all woke garbage these days. No point in playing any of them. The few games that aren't total garbage and filled with woke cancer usually run fine on the GPU I have. (RTX 2070 Super).

Yup, I bought the mass effect trilogy at Xmas on sale. Working thru that at the moment. A witcher 3 Ng+ play after that and then maybe a final Skyrim playthrough with plenty of visual mods(I recently upgraded to a rx5700xt)

If I can't run new Witcher when it comes out I'll upgrade then

To be honest it's not really a GPU issue because game companies plan it together to make people upgrade because if games were properly optimize you easily still be able to run any game on max settings with 1070 for example but game's aren't properly optimize because if they were they' would sell less GPUs etc

Graphics have definitely gotten much more detailed. You notice when you go to an old game after getting used to newer ones

@@stebo5562 Yes but each new details is exponentially harder to render, each faked tricks used by oldgen games replaced by more detailed or raytracing alternatives are more GPU intensive yet the result is essentially the same to the casual eye. And the additional details might not even be welcome and only hurt the artstyle or gamedesign.

Yup, look at star wars battlefront. Runs better and looks better than helldiver's 2

You right. But I am fine with those improvement in graphics fidelity, it offers us some newer games we can choose or leave it. There are still many popular games which don't build their success on most advanced stunning graphics but rather stability, playability, fun and so on. I found such 2 of them probably couple of years ago fitting my preferences and also. each of them offers different basic approach to making teams and play itself. (sorry, I repeat what you told here). I noticed improvements in graphics in my favourite games too. While one (Drakensang online, playing it since 2012) was not much sharp looking 1080p game running in its DX9 own web client and crashing alot, now its sharp, detailed game, which only from. Time to time gets some ugly DDoS attack and lags or goes down on server side. But improvements are even on UI side and new stuff in comes. My other favourite game is World of warships (Multiplayer naval tactical action, strongly competitive, but you can play also exclusively against bots only too). Its DX11 and it was running fine at mix low - high 1440p even ony prev GTX1050. But surely VRAM matters and I upgraded for that. Just 6650xt having 1,5y and its fine. 👉 (WoWs) Also ingame graphics improved during last years so whats now low details was previously around high settings. If I would get some newer game it would be either Deus Ex Mankind Divided or Terminator Resistance, both have single player campaigns. But pretty busy with both online favourite ones, lol.

Foreal. I upgraded from an i72600k and HD 7870. To a 1900f and 1660ti. I the upgraded last year to a 10900f and 6800xt. I'm done.

This is true for me. Most of my installed PC library is from the previous decade or earlier (with a few awesome exceptions) and on the console side, I bought a Series X specifically because of the backwards compatibility program.

I also have 1070, not even OC and in 1080p still runs most games on high settings 60+fps or a mix of medium/high. I'm fine with that.

The Pascal architecture was really good I'm still on a 1080 that a bought a few years ago for 200 bucks but I saw some 1080ti at 200-250 it's really a great deal for someone who wants a cheap gpu.

To you maybe. But who are you deciding if it is worth it or not. Just pay up, or else forget it.

The price to performance increase per generation has decreased greatly over time. I’m not even counting pascal cards as their performance increase was an outlier. But from 2080 to 3080/90 the performance increase DID NOT match the price increase & even less so for the 30 to 40 series. This is not to say they didn’t increase the performance but it is not arguable that generational improvements of cpu/gpu have stagnated greatly while the prices have increased greatly

@@ahiwalter9153 Be glad you even get a new next generation card at any price. They don`t owe you anything. I think the kind off performance you get these days is simply insane. And who says it should match anything......it`s just in your head.

It really isn’t insane lol…maybe if you’re talking a 3090 to 4090 upgrade but that’s a $2,000 gpu so it’s to be expected. Any other segment of the 40 series cards are pretty minor increases while still charging $600 for a 8gb card lol & the lukewarm sales are evident that this generation had one compelling option for people looking to upgrade. BYou really need to do more research or cause your statements are wildly incorrect.

If the 2070 Super had 12 GB or more of VRAM (almost nothing did at the time), it would still be a great GPU. Even with 8GB, it's still very good. Mine gets used regularly with a Ryzen 5 5600 for photo editing.

You have 3 PCs in single house?

​@@chaz-e No, we have more than 3, but only 4 of them are currently running/used. We had 3 PCs in our house in the 90s when I was a kid growing up so I don't understand your surprise. That was 30 years ago. My PC is 5 years old and was mid-range when I built it then for a few hundred bucks. My oldest daughter's is running on my previous 12yo 8-core CPU with my previous 7yo GPU. My youngest daughter's rig is running on a 9yo APU that I bought off Ebay for $25, and I'd put in the HP OEM RX 550 GPU that I bought for a couple bucks off Ebay to beef up her graphics a bit. My wife is running a rig that I bought off my little brother for $500 a few years ago with a Ryzen 5 2400 and a GTX 1050ti, I wanted to help him out a bit so I overpaid for it. Then we have the two prebuilts my wife was running previously that are just sitting collecting dust and cobwebs - a dual-core we bought in 2012 and a quad-core we bought in 2017, just little cheap ~$300 jobs. We also have her late father's old Mac Pro just sitting collecting dust, it's only worth ~$200 nowadays. Nobody here is running anything fancy like $2000 gaming rigs. It's all hand-me-downs or built from cheap used parts off Ebay. I have a few misc CPUs and RAM and a motherboard as well ready to be built into another rig if the need arises. We didn't go out shopping one day and spend thousands of dollars on several brand-new high-end PCs. It's been a slow accumulation of parts over the last 10 years as I've upgraded my rigs and our daughters received hand-me-down parts. Both my wife and I are self-employed and work from home on our computers so the PCs have paid for themselves many times over. We can't do what we do without them. We want our daughters to be as comfortable with computers as we are, having grown up with them, so we made sure they each had one after a certain age via the hand-me-down chain. When I upgraded my rig our oldest received my existing rig, when I upgraded again, our youngest received her rig, then received my rig, and I always have the newest hardware. There's not a piece of hardware in this house that is younger than 5 years old, and most of it is closer to a decade old. We're not driving around in Ferraris over here - we're clunking around in 15 year old Hondas with 150k miles on them. Literally.

Got 5700xt year ago used for $120 I don't feel like I need anything stronger than that. If it's an unoptimized game then I will just skip it, rest works great. And older games run beautifully at 4k/60fps or more.

@@Dregomz02 Yeah it still holds up pretty well at 1080p just fine for most things - but then games that only use Mesh Shaders are burnt. I guess Alan Wake 2 released a patch though that improves its performance on GPUs that don't support mesh shaders, which was probably a good idea. The 5700XT is still plenty decent though, even if it doesn't hold a candle to mid-range GPUs of today, like the 4070 SUPER, which is what I've been eyeing for a while in the event that there are enough funds for me to buy one.

Yup dont care if it compiles them 10 minutes long as the game runs smooth.

I played both uncharted and the last of us part 1 I let compile shaders but the games still stutter frequently even after beating them a couple of time and I have an 8gb gpu so it wasn't vram , elden ring didn't stutter for me anymore after the first 5 hours

@@purehollow4460 my issue turned out to be the controller driver. It would quickly disconnect and reconnect causing the game to freeze.

But i am running a HEAVY modded fallout 4 with all the 8k HD textures and she is stable AF. I played FF rebirth recently, all at max. Never stuttered even with mods. I am really satisfied. When i builty PC it was my weakest link. I dont need to, but ad soon as i can get a deal for either a 6800xt or 7800xt, i will jump on it. If i get a 7800xt, i will start buying pieces to built my next gaming pc around it. But frankly, i am confident i can play for another 4-5 years with my 6600xt.

My conspiracy theory is that game developers are intentionally not optimizing their game to force people to buy newer hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if Intel/Nvidia/AMD invest into gaming companies.

That's because major process node jump (65nm/55nm to 40nm). 5870 to 6970 performance jump is like 10 to 15 percent only since both based on the same 40nm process.

​@@soniablanche5672that is what max setting/ultra setting is. Some people think when they can't run the ultra setting with good performance then the optimization is shit.

Same but xt.

I'm in the same boat. I used to stick with nVidia's GTX *50 stuff (750, 1050, then 1650 was my last before switching over to AMD because the RTX 3050 was so much more expensive than the RX 6600 in my country). The RX 6600 was such a huge upgrade and is the first time I felt like I actually had a gaming PC. I'm also surprised at how efficient it was. I have a kill-a-watt and the consumption of my PC with an RX 6600 was slightly less than the power consumption of my PC with the 1650 at 1080p resolutions (the RX6600 starts consuming way more once we get to higher resolutions and settings, but at that point the 1650 can no longer keep up in terms of performance.)

I've never had a problem with this card. Fixed rate 90FPS > 120FPS variable rate. The human eye can't distinguish anything over 55 FPS so even 90FPS is overkill and people do it for bragging rights. The excessive cost to get to 4k isn't worth it unless you're video editing--4k is silly for gaming. Honestly if you're a pro gamer you want lower resolution without particle effects regardless of how fast your setup is . A gamer with a 10k computer running 4k with full effects will lose to a gamer with a 1k setup running no particle effects at HD.

@@GTORazor I started with the integrated graphics of a mobile Celeron from like 2015 (was on some Acer AIO), then to a GT 710 in my first actual PC tower, then to a 730, then an RX 460 until it died, and now im chilling with an RX 580. I might think about buying an RX 6700 XT or something

@@ashii_ii sounds like you were trapped by your hardware and unable to play the way you wanted to.

The RX 580 is a fossil anything is an upgrade from that in 2024. At least go with a RX 6700xt.

Yep upgraded to 2nd hand rx 5700 xt from GTX 1060 and barely play anything new since those games are so damn bad. I play mostly f2p or older games native or emulated.

There's still a ton of good games coming out, you just need to look further than just Triple-A games

... for people who like struggling with drivers, configuration and petitioning publishers to support niche features of dubious value.

And boring, what a garbage unfun movie game

SNOOZEFEST! just like hellblade 2

I'm a lot better now in finding games that work properly on the hardware I'm using. A friend gifted me a second gen i5 dell Inspiron laptop with Intel HD 3000 graphics. It was kind of refreshing looking at metacritic PC games lists from 2006 and back. Got to check tons of games I missed out on from not having a good PC at the time. I don't know why I never did this when I got my first proper gaming computer
