Problem is.. PC gaming is expensive as fuck now.
Not true.
A 1080 still runs everything because devs know nobody can afford a meaningful upgrade.
I have a 1080. Starting to struggle for highest settings at 1080p 120hrz.
No, because there wasn't that much innovation to begin with. Ray tracing is the last graphical innovation I can think of and tbh it isn't world changing like other stuff in the past was.
That's not how it works.
If you have a 3090 it can push more polygons and hold more than double texture data in memory that a 1080 can. No 'innovation' in rendering techniques is required. Simply having more resources means higher quality models and textures.
A 1080 still runs everything because nobody is going to make a game that requires 24gb of VRAM for its textures and models when two thirds of the market have only got 8.
There's still nothing that'll justify the prices of the new GPUs coming from nvidia, change my mind. If you got as 3000's series card there's no need to get any new ones. Friend of mine's still got his 1060 though, he plays stuff alright, even IF there's a game with high graphics: are they really worth it? I've come to think of PC gaming as just graphics recently when it comes to AAA, all mediocre shit that looks good. I mostly play indie nowadays, even they can look good and are at least innovative...yet don't require the latest GPUs.
I guess i should mention that i do a lot of modding with a shit ton of textures in many games. Hell, im getting an upgrade for skyrim because skyrim is struggling 4k-8k textures. Even my 10 followers have 4k skin textures and outfits. Also with boob physics. And i do a little bit of modeling in blender as well.
false. Texture streaming has been a thing for an eternity. What matters is mainly "can you hold enough in memory to cover streaming latency" (which usually means 'for one frame') - and framerate and resolution targets have plateaued for quite a while now. (Steam hardware survey: 66% of users are still 1080p. Unfortunately no framerate breakdown.)
I used to buy that argument but when people routinely dump €1000 on a fucking phone it's hard to take that serious anymore. Seriously, the smallest last-gen iPhone STARTS at €800.
I maybe spent that much on PC gaming hardware in the last couple of decades COMBINED.
