innovation feels really stagnant because the prices go up and the cards in their given price brackets always act the same, just for games of the era. the 3060 was a "good 1080p card" and the 5060 is a "good 1080p card". idk man i think things should have gotten better by now - ThreadSky

its funny you mention this bc I was looking at the new generation of cards and just going "this can't do anything i care about that my 3090 can't do why would i want it"

im sure optimized graphics code can push modern cards to 8k and beyond, but the workflow modern game engines guide you toward doesn't lend itself well to that

i've seen one UE5 game i'd actually call well optimized and im sure the devs had to push the engine in some "unintended" ways to do it

cant believe nvidia made 2000 videocards between then and now

My 1060 3GB card was great for like 6 or 7 years. I upgraded to a RX 7600 not too long ago because I wanted better driver support for Linux/OpenBSD and the VRAM was finally showing its limits with normal desktop usage.

My 7600 will probably last a very long time now that upscaling is a thing. I'm sure in five years when the card is showing its age FSR will have improved enough that I won't care about enabling it.

i'll argue that graphic cards are getting better, it's just that most games that are coming out now are barely optimized to the point where we literally have to hallucinate frames in order to get fps that's above 5

I mean the brackets/tiers feel all over the place atm. I finally moved to upgrade from my 1080 to 5070ti but... I thought it was gonna be cheaper 😅
