This is such horseshit
Everyone on this godforsaken board convinced me to 'build a PC' bro, it's 'so much better than being a peasant' bro
well what's the point if your build becomes outdated every 2 years? consoles will go 5-10 years and these days are playing games equal to or even greater than top end PCs
this was the worst mistake I've ever made and the worse part is no one wants to even buy used PC parts so I can't sell it to afford a PS5 now so I'm just stuck playing old games
fuck you /v/

Your 2015 graphics card won't last forever

>stuck playing old games
And that’s a problem in 2025 because?

why would I want to play memelands?

blame devs for using unreal jeetgine 5 and not optimizing games anymore

This retard seriously built a PC to play Redditlands naaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>>712925720 (OP)
Those cards in OP are 5 years old, dude. You only "need" to upgrade if you're insistent on only playing ultra settings or 4k.

>>712925720 (OP)
>Bought less than a 3070 2 years ago
What did you even buy lmao

>>712925720 (OP)
as opposed to consoles whose graphic cards are outdated the nanosecond they get released

>>712925720 (OP)
>2 years

But the 4090 came out in 2022 and I'm not even close to obsolete. Not my fault you bought a bad card. The only good value 30xx card was the 3080ti and the 3090.

I was one of those pc gamers who told you to do this and I apologize!

>>712925720 (OP)
>3070 minimum, 3080 recommended
Are they that far apart in performance?

>>712926303
Don't apologize for his neglect into researching current parts. He might've bought a prebuilt or bought whichever first gpu he found without looking into performance.

>>712925720 (OP)
>what, I need a low end GPU to run this game at 60fps 1440p?
>may as well just get a console that will run it at 30fps 720p (upscaled to 1440p)
oh yeah, that makes sense.

>>712925720 (OP)
The problem isn't that new games are demanding, usually the pc crowd was hyped about that. The problem is that these games are demanding but look and run worse. So now you are updating to experience outdated graphics at an only passable framerate.

>>712925720 (OP)
THE 3070 IS RELEASED 5 YEARS AGO
GET A NEW PC OR UPGRADE IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE LATEST GAMES IN HIGH RESOLUTIONS

>>712926505
All I know is borderlands sucks ass and is borderline gacha tier bullshit and I've played some of every single one of them to absolutely confirm that opinion
>empty borderline linear progression system
>extremely dumb ai to the point of being walking targets with zero thought placed into responding to their actions
>the only depth the game has between all this is some rng loaded bullshit for skinnerbox tier guns

Who the fuck wants to play this shit, ever? I don't even want to pirate it, I care so little. My wife even insists it's one of her favorite series and I can confirm her IQ is only 96. So you're really not looking too bright in any potential counter arguments here.

>>712926725
>Highres
You mean at 1080p 30 fps.

>>712925876
I'll care about this when games start looking better than they did in 2015.

>>712925720 (OP)
>he got memed into an amd 3600

>>712926875
Its fucking borderlands, just play it with framegen at 720p 40fps for a more stable 80ish and a playable experience.

>muh latency

ITS

FUCKING


BORDERLANDS

YOU


GODANM
WORTHLESS
NIGGER!

>game requires a 5 year old graphics card
Oh no the horror

>>712926938
They do, but it's subtle improvements in lighting texture detail, skin rendering with subsurface scattering and other subtle but noticeable improvements.

>>712927265
it requires 5700xt/2070

>>712927345
Yep that sounds worth spending $2000

>>712926938
>games look the same
>only difference is my computer has to render the lighting and reflections instead of the developers
God bless RTX.

made for BWC

>>712928743
I just did. I upgraded from my old 2015 PC build and spent $1800 on a modern 1440p pre-built. Can't say I'm disappointed, the new Indiana Jones game looks really good at maxed settings.

>>712931648
you do not have a soul

It's a 2070 minimum, which is around base PS5 and Xbox Series X level. You clearly need certain minimum hardware extensions and 8GB of VRAM, it's totally reasonable.

Hrm... mandatory gaytracing? You don't want to "bake" the lighting you say...? Then alas, I shall not buy the game. The great chuddah states one must worship the baked lighting of the ancients...

>>712932215
I'd gladly accept it if cranking 10 year old games up to 11 on a new rig wouldn't be more impressive than newer titles.

>>712926938
This is literally terrorism

>>712925720 (OP)
Yeah, pc is a very unfulfilling platform to play on. You learned the hard way but at least you learned.

the recent jump in requirements is because they changed the floor from "can run game" to "1080p/60fps"

Just don't pay for poorly-optimized games.

>>712926505
The real problem is that building a PC that lasts a liftime basically requires a degree in shopping.

>>712925720 (OP)
You most likely need a PC if you have a console, at this point why not combine the cost and make the best of both worlds?

>>712927345
>They do
They really don't.
Battlefront 2015 looks pretty much just as good as any current AAA game.
Arguably better.
And I took this screenshot on a GPU with 4 GB of VRAM.

>>712926849
Anyone that praises ANY Borderlands has irredeemably shit taste and I dismiss their opinion on ALL things. It hasn't done me wrong yet.

>>712925720 (OP)
Well anon, your mistake was thinking that peesea fags even play games at all.
Here's the typical peesea gaymer:
>pirate game
>run game at max setting
>count fps like an autist
>take a vid to post to youtube to show that your gaymer rig can run crysis for yummy peesea gaymer boi points
>uninstall game and never touch it again
>rinse and repeat
It's not and never was about the games. It's a hobby for aspies to see who can sink the most of mommy's money into their hardware

>>712925720 (OP)
>3070/3080
>demanding

>>712925720 (OP)
Well Duh a console will go 5-10 years playing "equal" games cause they're lower graphical fidelity/lower performance on them. Besides, you're complaining about Borderlands 4 of all games

>>712925720 (OP)
Who the fuck are these users? Who the fuck is going to buy this?

>>712933565
Name 5 good games

>>712926938
Don't buy a PS5 then. Because PS5 games don't look better then PS4 games.

>>712933995
Your Mom
Your Dad after I buck break him
Your Sister when shes under 18
Your Grandmother 60 years ago
And finally you

>>712933821
A 3080 recommended is super demanding, unless they're recommending it for 1440p at 100 FPS (how Stellar Blade runs on that GPU maxed out).

Old meme but still rings true.

>>712925720 (OP)
>abloo bloo bloo
A 2025 game is asking for cards from 2020. That's five years old. Get a job if that's too demanding for you.

>>712925876
>have had a GTX 1060 since ~2016
>didn't even know the name of my card until last year when I tried to get Dragon's Dogma II running
I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CARD RIGHT NOW GODDAMMIT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

why does everyone want to abuse raytracing that badly?

>>712925720 (OP)
>consoles will go 5-10 years and these days are playing games equal to or even greater than top end PCs
Poorfags will tell themselves this to cope lmao
A ten year old desktop gpu is stronger than your switch 2

>>712933435
My last one was 14 years old with 1 gpu upgrade down the line before it died. I think I did well in that regard.
