go try geforce now for free and you'll probably never want to own your own hardware ever again. cloud gaming is a dystopian future but it beats paying thousands for overpriced and soon to be obsolate hardware

No you don't have to, you're just retarded

>>712728686 (OP)
My last high end GPU cost over 700usd alone for a 7900xtx (1350aud) last year lol
Whole rig was over double that for 9800x3d 96gb aio psu case etc

>>712728686 (OP)
I spent $500 on a gaming laptop with a 1660 so you're wrong

with how often good games get made nowadays you'll probably be fine for the next 8 or so years with that $1,200 setup

>well I don't know why they bothered with cutting edge graphics but I guess it's a good game huh

>>712731916
Why are election tourists so intimidated by Pepe?

They're probably doing planned obsolescence with graphics.
When unreal engine finally ditches the godawful volumetric fog graying out everything, and making everything look like plastic dolls, it will be fucking revolutionary or something. Then it will be the age of something else retarded and weird like uncanny deep space wrinkles that can't be fixed until unreal 34 is out

>>712731854
i've tried the free version and it's OK, not great.

also you can't pirate, use mods, or play any game that's not on their lame list. not very good.

>He bought new parts with fraction of performance of used ones while also being more expensive. You deserve it.

Also if you are too poor to get a hardware to play games then you are fucking tourist who doesn't give a fuck about video games so you might as well play on smartphone or console

>now

You needed to spend 1k 10 years ago for a decent pc, wutchoo talkin bout

That's not entirely true, back in the day we used to get HP office computers and used GPU's at sub 400$ for lan parties
.. for example I'm selling a 2080 super for like 200 bucks on Facebook.... no one had bought it ... That GPU can play anything at 1080p.

Yes.

if i want equivalent pc its like 1500 to 2k

>>712736862
Yes, that's right.

>>712728686 (OP)
I don't think you know what low-end means. You can get a $200 GPU, a $100 CPU, a $80 motherboard, a $60 case, a $60 SSD, a $100 monitor and another $50 for the peripheals and you're at around $600 (add Windows if you want) and you'll be running games at low.

>>712741414
low end means 1080p

I literally spent $700 on a plane ticket to the philippines, spent $1500 there, and ended up with a 12700k, 4070 super, 32gb ram, 800w psu, some random ass asus board, and a case. $2400 for what would have cost me $3000 or $4000 easily here.
It's fucking crazy.

>>712741460
my $600 pc meets the recommended requirements for the latest UE5 garbage

It's fine, all AAA games are monotonous movie game garbage that only appeal to zombies. Go play a proper game like a shoot-em-up, those are all playable on old PCs.

>>712736862
>so retarded it can't trust his eyes

Wao
That was hard

>>712734150
>>712736862
because, world's biggest retard, i can still play a lot of them, just with lower graphics and longer loading screens. the gameplay is the same either way, and i don't like it. everything's been empty open world soulless grinding bullshit for years. only in the last year have things started requiring SSDs and RTX so i literally can't play them, but after years of downward trending i don't want to. i almost upgraded for dark ages but changed my mind after watching a trailer, and it looks like it was a great decision

>>712742243
Lets be real anon, if you've been gaming on a 1050ti, you aren't exactly swimming in it.

>>712734150
The only good recent games are indie ones with basic graphics. For the AAA sphere, only the Japs are making anything worth a damn, and Japs can't into graphics so whatever. Nightreign is easily playable on my built-in-2018 shitbox.

>>712731916
Frog website

desu the only games i remotely care about anymore are realistic historical stuff and simulations like KCD, CK3, cities skylines, flight simulator, et cetera. AAA is trash

>>712745176
This typically filters 4chan users sadly

>>712728686 (OP)
Well, I spent the same about, but ironically instead of unironically. So what do you have to say about that?

>>712745426
I had a friend that unironically spent 3k on a new PC for monster hunter wilds (on a 1080p monitor) and played for 15 hours

I have a 5090 and the only game I've played this year is Fallout 2 with mods.
>Why spend all that money on new hardware if you're not going to play newer games?
I'm wealthy enough to spend money on being ironic, for the sake of irony.

*has more games than all consoles combined*

>>712746004
What does the turbo button do?

>>712746068
slows the computer down

>>712745821
yeah but there's more you can do with nvidia GPUs than just games. a lot of productivity software utilizes CUDA

>>712746068
it underclocks the CPU because super old games frame limited based on CPU speed because back then hardware was relatively fixed

>>712731854
I'm Canadian. These game streaming things work like utter shit with seconds of delay and lag.

>>712728686 (OP)
Got mine last week for 500, if you're american you can get it for cheaper if you actually wanted.

>>712734019
yeah but I read that GFN is the only good one, like the amount of lag and stuff on GFN is actually bearable but any worse and it'd be basically not usable. also I never lose connection or anything. it's frankly fine. it's just the lack of games and mods

>>712746198
>>712746068
Additionally, that 100 on the LCD is 100 MHz, the turbo button being pressed will indicate the lowered clock speed

>>712736862

Nope.
$190 9600x cpu
$15 cpu cooler
$300 9060xt gpu
$80 motherboard
$80 32gb ddr5 ram
$65 600w gold psu
$50 pc case
$20 oem windows 11 key
$20 keyboard and mouse combo

That system will destroy 1080p and will even do 1440p fine.
Less than $1000. You can save even more by buying second hand parts.

>>712746894
You're not wrong but you still don't want to recommend the 8gb version of 9060xt, pay a bit more for the 16gb one.

>>712746894
Just pirate windows with the Microsoft hosted crack tool

>>712746894
>8gb GPU
literally has problems even at 1080p in new games

>>712737692
>anything
Not new games that people avtually want to play such as Monhun Wilds, Doom Eternal

>>712749091
Let's not pretend that people want to play the new Doom, you couldn't even remember its name.

poorfags out

Nah, you can build a great 1440p gaming rig for ~$900, not including the monitor.

why are chartfags so retarded? its a single player shooter

>>712750071
We finna stay

>>712751421
Look at the peak you stupid fuck.
Doom TDA isn't a game people are upgrading for to play.

>>712751624
not to mention, the game was on game pass. the chart is fucking useless as a metric.

>>712728686 (OP)
You spend more than that just getting a console bundle, controller, game, DLC, and online membership

>>712751731
You're retarded, pic related was also on gamepass.
No one cares about your game, get over it.

>>712737353
Maybe if you have a thousand useless shit running in the background. I'm on 8 gb right now with a 1050 not even Ti, a x4 845 and a HDD

>>712751910
Calm down autismo it just means it filtered people who have a gpu that can't run the game simple as.
Even a gtx 1050 can run expedition 33. Which ironically does mean making games with lower requirements will get you more players but that's beside the point.

>>712728686 (OP)
You can rest assured that consoles are still much MUCH worse so games can't really aim for much higher.

>>712752123
btw its the same for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which is an established very popular franchise many people simply can't run the game due to forced ray tracing.

So, every argument against gaming on a PC comes down to being poor.

I am a neet with 6700xt, R7 9700x, 32gb of DDR5 6000mhz, x870 mb and I am comfortably playing every game that exists, older ones at 144hz, modern ones comfortably at 60. Recently got 4k monitor and many of the games I like can do 60 no problem.
What's your fucking excuse?

>>712752123
>>712752237
Nah, the games just weren't interesting at the end of the day.
Or at least interesting enough to deal with the crap performance.

>>712752240
why do you have such a fast cpu with such a slow gpu

>>712728686 (OP)
My """budget""" gaming laptop was £900 before a discount. Shit's getting ridiculous.

I can't afford a gaming PC
I can't afford a switch 2
The only thing I can afford is a PS5

>>712752498
i bought the cpu a month ago, have had the gpu for couple of years now
I need a good cpu so that artistic programs don't massively lag on my screened QHD drawing tablet.

>>712752719
Gaming laptops have basically always been expensive, if you're on a budget and you buy a laptop instead of building a desktop, you're retarded.
Honestly, even if you're someone who travels a lot, you'd be better served by just having a desktop and a handheld PC like a Deck, for the cost of a $900-$1000 gaming laptop you could probably get a Deck and build a PC stronger than the laptop.

>>712752237
Only if you use No Video or Window

>>712728686 (OP)
or just buy a ChadStation and blow past even top end PCs

i spent 900€ 3 years ago, on a TUF gaming laptop with a Ryzen 6800hx a 3070 and 16GB of DDR5 ram (upgraded to 32GB) and the game with wonky performance that i own is Monster Hunter Wilds but i fucking hate that game.

>>712753070
if you can afford a latest generation console you can definitely afford a pc

>>712753514
Lol
Lmao

>>712753771
A PS5 is gotten for $400 these days on sale
I can't even find a decent GPU for $400, even budget ones are like $600-$700

>>712753880
Why do obvious Euros use dollar signs instead of euros?

>>712753880
I haven't bought a new gpu in my life
except the time I bought a laptop with intel graphics 13 years ago

>>712754058
why does it matter when the conversion rate is like 1:1

>>712754058
Don’t bitch, those are the good ones because they accept nobody cares about their monopoly money.

>>712754262
Because it's not, a budget GPU here is like $300-$400 (which is still shit in my view, a 9060 XT 16 GB should be $300 and an 8 GB should be $220, no 8 GB GPU should be more than $250 at the absolute most).
You Euros get fucked on hardware prices and assume it also applies to us here in America.

>>712728686 (OP)
buckle up buddy. computer prices are going back to the 90's.

>>712728686 (OP)
Or $600 in 2019.

You guys can just use this if you're desperate enough, although paying $20 just to play the games you already own is kind of cucked.

>>712756087
You can just build a gaming pc for $20 and play older titles

>>712748746
9060xt has a 16gb variant retard

>>712756203
not for $300 it doesn't

>>712756391
>an additional $50? that's whuite genocide!

>>712756660
ok but you didn't say that

A $1000 PC could play everything in 1080p maxed in 2012, with up to 8xAA
Maybe sometimes 1440p

>>712753338
>900-$1000 gaming laptop you could probably get a Deck and build a PC stronger than the laptop.
got mine for $800 with a 4060, i7-14700, and a 240hz 1600p screen so I would say it's been pretty worth
