Why aren't you upgrading your GPU, /v/?

because i still play games made in 2012 and nothing new is worth jack shit with the pozz they add.

There are no games on the planet that need better than a 2080TI to run at 1080/60

New games suck 98.9% of the time

>>713152160 (OP)
50xx is a dead generation
I'll carry my 4070 Ti until the 70x or 80x, or maybe AMD will make some worthwhile cards.

>>713152160 (OP)
Literally every GPU this gen, and most from last gen, are both dogshit and and overpriced.

normal xx70 series have cucked vram and ti/super versions are way too fucking expensive

>>713152160 (OP)
>RX 5700 XT/Steam Deck
>massive backlog
>in between jobs (400+ jobs applied to)
>new games average $70

It's pretty straightforward, if your game demands RT it gets outright ignored.
If it doesn't then maybe it will start being considered at $30-40 when I am employed.

What reason do I have to upgrade my GPU?

>>713152160 (OP)
whos the nerd?

>>713152160 (OP)
but im currently waiting for my 5090 to ship, upgrading from a 2080 ti.

PC Gayming is shit
My 1070 is enough to pirate the games I don't buy for my PS5

>>713153506
you have two computers with raytracing

>sold my 4090 for $3000
>bought a 5090 for $3200
>only paid $200 for upgradiation
My life is miserable but this one time I feel lucky as fuck.

Saw my 6600 at the very minimum specs for NuDoom Dark Ages. Don't intend to play NuDoom, but good to know for planning purposes. GPUs won't become that much more expensive than now. I wait for MSRP GPUs in stores.
Will probably download, and play Mecha Break though. Dem behind back camera shakes if you know what I mean.

>>713152160 (OP)
Because I have a 7900xtx and only bought that to play 20 year old games at 4k without issues. Fuck ray tracing, nvidia, intel and Microsoft.

My GTX 1660 is enough for what I play

>>713152160 (OP)
have we gotten to the point where even normal ATX cases can't fit new GPUs?

>modern gpus are costing near 1000 dollars even for just the mid tier ones
>everything requires fake frames and upscaled resolution since game devs don't optimize anymore
>the idea of waiting for prices to go down is dead

>>713155367
I thought we're already at "2.5+ slot" GPUs entirely dictating mobo configs and lanes

>>713152160 (OP)
My Mobo is basically capped on its voltages with its current hardware and occasionally fails to run an xmp profile that is significantly under the ram's capability.
I'd have to do a complete new build, and with the current pricing making a decent build 1/4 the price of a car in australia, i'm just putting up with garbage fps in most games instead.
I hate what Njudea has done to the industry, and every company following suit with insane profit margin markups.
So many people don't know what it was like before the 10xx gen.

I fell for the waiting meme and the prices just went up

well the sad part is
nearly all nerdy girly are autismos or mentally ill to some degree
and girls with any mental impairments get sexually abused at an incredibly high rate

Do people use RGB lighting? Imagine sitting in a dark room reading on your monitor and you have these changing disco lights filling the room.
Why do you do that to yourself?

I met my slightly autistic gf from an mmo.

My 6800xt can still play modern shit.
Not that I play many modern games anyway

The cost isn't worth the gain for me. And I'm not getting a new miniature nuclear plant for a PSU either.

I won

>>713157487
RGBT lighting is one of those (quite literally) flashy things for poseurs that try to minmax their "battlestations" for the primary purpose of showing off, rather than actually using the damn thing

i actually upgraded to 5070 recently after finding a solid deal for 12GB version
as a stingy indiefaggot that upgrades once every 6 years, the damn thing is probably gonna serve for a long time

>>713157487
>Do people use RGB lighting?
I mean it's just on everything, you don't really get to opt out, that's the only reason it's still around.
If they offered alternate versions of GPUs that didn't light up for like $10 cheaper they're going to be astounded by how little of a market there really is for this junk.

Already did. Upgraded from a 580 to a 7700xt. Not even sure why I did it, it's been nothing but trouble since I got it.

What a waste.

My 2060S... people keep saying how it's a outdated and shit card... but boy does it fight. It deserves a purpose, for a while longer...

why is my gpu only using 100w when it's a 300w card?

>>713152160 (OP)
I did though, I went from a 1070 to a 5090 earlier this year.

>>713152292
lmao filtered

>>713152160 (OP)
My GPU is already pretty high end I got a RX 7900 XTX because I was expecting to be installing mountains of mods for Starfield and then the game ended up being fucking trash nobody wanted to mod and I didn't want to play. I did upgrade my CPU at the time too but only to near the top of what my motherboard could take with a Ryzen 7 3700X rather than starting from scratch with a new motherboard, I also brought an SSD, probably the best thing to come out of those upgrades.

>>713155812
what do you mean by matx?
is that micro atx or mini atx?

>>713160115
Obviously micro atx. The mini is called mini itx.

>>713152160 (OP)
Why would I upgrade from a 5080? A 5090 is overkill for 1440p gaming.

>>713152160 (OP)
Because I just upgraded to a 7800 XT in December last year. I don't think any cards would hit that sort of sweet spot again for a while.

>>713152160 (OP)
Because I have a 4090 and only play at 1440p at most
I upgrade to the top end one every even generation since the odd generations seem to be utter shit

I just buyed boughted a 9070 pulse. A nice upgrade from my 6700XT.

Because people like you and him >>713152292 can't admit PC gaming market consists of $600 16GB GPUs for entry level gaming that matches PS5 and $400 CPU and motherboards combo. Valve Vegan Fanboys buying $650 Steamie Weenie Deckies can't admit it's outdated already either. PC Vegans hope your parts don't expire soon, they're expensive replace since 2018.

A GIGA BABY?

Because if I upgrade my GPU, I'll have to upgrade my CPU. And if I upgrade my CPU, I'll have to upgrade my motherboard. And at that point I might as well build a new computer since everything else is old as dirt. I'll wait till there's something I want to play that I can't run.

>>713152160 (OP)
I bought a 3070 and all I play on it is Deltarune and Coffin, and sometimes some SimCity 4 which doesn't even run faster than 4 threads. What was the point of upgrading?

For what reason? So that I can get screwed over by Nvidia dropping old PhysX support and have single digit frames in mirror's edge the moment someone breaks a window?

i will when another upgrade akin to going from an R9 290 to a 6800XT exists.

I’m looking to upgrade right now. Probably going to go all in and buy a 5070 ti so I feel like it’s worth it. This is upgrading from a 1070, mind you.

>>713152160 (OP)
is 4060 enough?

>>713152160 (OP)
I did, an RX 9070 XT (bought two for seperate builds). My RTX 3070 ti kicked the bucket. Went for the Steel Legend RGB one, which was $100 more than the MSRP model you have pictured there. I DID eventually manage to buy that MSRP one and could've returned the Asrock one, but in the end, RGB won and I cancelled it. It's not even compatible with external RGB controllers. I should've returned it. I don't regret my purchases, especially coming from someone who caved in to scalpers with that 3070 ti, though, if I had a choice, I definitely would've just gone with an RX 9060 XT. That one was neither released at the time nor actually in-stock at MSRP on release date. I should know, I watched Newegg that day. The MSRP models were slowly listed throughout the day, but without stock.

How old is your CPU? If it's at least zen 3 it mostly doesn't matter unless you're running 1080p.

>3080 ti
>5800x3d
>1440p

I have 0 reason to upgrade

Upscaling from 1080p to 4K looks really good with the new transformer dlss model. My only real upgrade option is a 5090 from a 4080 Super and I'm fine with what I have.

Getting a 5070 Ti next month, my 3070 has aged bad.

>>713152160 (OP)
Don't need to. A 3060 runs cyberpunk at 1440p no problem.

>>713173898
is $1000 for something you'll use multiple hours per day every day for 4-5 years minimum supposed to be a lot? my only regret about buying a 4080S is not buying a 4090.
