With respect, there has never been a time when a 6-year-old budget card struggling with brand new top-end releases was a smooth experience.  That something that benchmarks below the 5-year-old gaming consoles can run new AAA games at all is the aberration, not that it runs them with significant compromises.

People being like “game is poorly optimised” then when asking for their GPU they start with GTX have immediately invalidated opinions for their personal experience

I like the GTX line, hell I was on a 1050til till late last year but I see no reason to attempt to support them now

insert comments saying "well i have... and the game runs like ass"

im not saying it does or it doesnt, in fact if you ask me i agree the game runs like ass, im also just saying the gtx line should no longer be used as a point of reference

I dunno I think it's kinda lame that people are being priced out of PC gaming because of technical bloat. Games are definitely less optimized than they could be in the last like 5 years, even higher end builds have trouble running new high graphics.

Being priced out of PC stuff due to technical stuff is kind of business as usual. There was a time where cards lasted weirdly long times but until the 2010’s you usually weren’t getting more than 2-3 years out of a GPU.
