Yea everything is basically gonna go fake frames up the wazoo. 20fps path tracing with mega geometry with 16x fake frames for $2500 is the future lol. I'll keep my 4090 for a long time.

Y'know it's kind of ironic. I shelled out for my 1080ti at the time, with it's own high end price tag, and it's gotten me by all these years, and you've got your 4090, which should get you by as long as I have. Everyone else below you and me are either having to crank to the lowest possible, or keep upgrading every 1-2 gens a pop.

This is why I'm getting super weary of the AI band-aid as well, because that chart you linked only showed marginal gains when AI tech was enabled, meaning that we really will have to just use Nvidia/AMD's versions of AI just to scrounge that last ounce of performance, even though the gains with cards like the 5090 are already not worth the trade in price + electric bill.

Like if you swapped your 4090 for that 5090, you'd actually be paying more up front and more over time with your elec bill, and you'd also be running hotter temps. I don't even want to imagine what that GPU is going to be like in regions like Australia, Africa, most parts of the US, etc (those areas will likely also spike with their bills, because they'll wanna use their air cons to keep themselves and their GPU's cool). 

I'm not gonna lie, but this yr is off to a pretty shitty start lol. Sony with their PSN enforcement blocking me from just seeing their games on Steam, Sega trying to start their own shitty account system, Nvidia just being stupid arrogant and pricing me out of their market entirely, AMD likely going to do the same. What's happened?, why does it feel like I'm being both blocked and pushed out of multiple areas lol? (For real it feels like I have to be born into riches to even game at this point).

For me with this gen of gaming I'm looking at:

  • Higher priced GPU's
  • RT GPU required up front
  • DRM
  • Account system DRM
  • Higher priced games (specifically AAA sector)
  • Lacking benefits to literally any of those listed above that far outweigh all the cons...

I just wanna game man. This used to be a hobby i'd always get hype for. 



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
