Whew. Some of you seem to be taking this like a personal attack and it’s kinda funny, tbh.
If you don’t like my use case or my suggestion, you can disregard it and move along.
I don’t live in a world where I need to min/max performance. All I want is for the games I play to look good enough to not distract me from the content. I don’t think I’ve ever used raytracing in my life. I don’t even overclock my shit or use any boost options on my hardware. All I care about is maxing put the lifespan of the hardware I buy and having fun with the games I play. Nothing else matters.
Buying games on deep cut sales years after the fact and enjoying excellent performance on a reasonably modern card is what I aim for. If that’s not for you, that’s fine. I don’t give two shits about modern games because half of the AAA releases are slop these days and you need to spend stupid amounts of money to have the hardware to make them look even remotely good on release. There are few exceptions to this.
So I won’t be made to feel bad about recommending that folks ditch Nvidia for AMD and live a couple years behind the curve. It works for me, it works for my friends, and it will work for some of you that read this.
I’m not taking it personally, I just don’t like when people spread misinformation. If you live in a world where you don’t need to mix max performance don’t make statements that you get flawless performance on ultra settings, because you’re not. I get the patient gamer sentiment, I have a vast catalogue of games that I don’t need to get the latest and greatest of games, I get them only if it’s something I really want to play. For example I will get Monster Hunter wilds because I love monster hunter, but the Indiana Jones game went into my wishlist because that’s something I can wait to go on sale. I support people waiting to buy games.
However what I don’t do is in the year 2027-2028 I tell people that if they buy a 40 series card they’ll be able to play Indiana Jones natively at 60+ FPS with ultra settings. That would effectively be misinformation because unless you’re buying a 4090 (which I doubt would be reasonably priced 3 years from now) that’s just not true.
Like I said before, if you want to say fuck Nvidia that’s fine. If you want to suggest they get AMD cards, that’s fine. But don’t tell them they’ll get something they definitely won’t get, especially with AMD cards.
