Yep, I’m still rocking a 1080ti. It still plays games fine. I’m just now starting to look at new cards, but they’re ridiculously expensive. Is NVIDIA trying to kill pc gaming?

Not necessarily killing it but the future is geared towards AI and machine learning. People and companies working in that sector don't mind dishing out 3K$ for a GPU, leaving desktop PC gamers in the dust.

Aside from Nvidia, I bought a 7800XT last Christmas. No drivers issues at all and plays almost everything at 1440p/120fps on medium-to-high settings. Don't forget Intel's upcoming in the GPU industry as well.

didnt they want to pull out again already? i mean intel.

honestly we need an open gpu...

[–] Nevrome@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

They could be pulling out of the GPU market but I'm unaware of that. I still hear people waiting for the Battlemage lineup so I guessed they were still in with a planned release on Q4 2024.

Otherwise, thanks for the heads-up!

Same.

My 1080ti has survived three machines now. I keep looking to upgrade but the newer cards are so expensive now it’s ridiculous.
