Maybe it's cause I'm not a capital G gamer but I truly, honestly don't feel the need for anything higher than like an rx580, which was the last card I bought almost a decade ago.
99% of the games I play run fine on an igpu in a t480 laptop.
Are there any good games in the last few years that actually need more than a 3060?
I do pretty much all my gaming on my Steam Deck nowadays, so yeah you really don't need a massive video card.
I play many games on Xbox Series S and the old games run really well (indie games too) but War Thunder and Cities Skylines are choppy, a little blurry and un-detailed. Hitman 3 and games from last year look dreadful, I actually feel cheated lol. That said it looks better on a Series X and those are still cheaper than a PC.
ha
The price of it and driver support (basically no one develops their game for its instructions set) is also a factor that probably got buried by the headline. It's expensive, even at current Vram prices, for what it offers. But I have no doubt that in a year or two they'll suddenly announce a 5090 equivalent for half the price lol.
Jesus Christ gamers can get the wall lmao, 88 fps is more than fine
