To be fair though, that's a VERY new game and they cared so little about optimizing it that they went out and said "you're probably going to need a new computer to play this" ..

I hear the 1080ti runs Doom just fine 😛

Have a 1060 for vr.actually works fine

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

I do 4k and VR on my 1080Ti with no issues, on the highest settings, too. That said, I don't do a lot of AAA gaming, so take that as you will.

[–] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I actually prefer the crisp edges without as much post-processing effects sometimes. Source engine games look great to me, just minimal crisp and clean geometry. I find a lot of modern graphics distracting, but it depends on the game. I do love really pushing graphics for a game like Skyrim.

[–] spader312@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Modern game engines don't use the amazing SSAA (super sampling anti aliasing). Most have post processing anti aliasing like FXAA or TXAA which always makes edges look fuzzy. Source engine is one of those that still supports super sampling

I've said it before and I'll say it again, when humanity is wiped out future species will find a Nokia on half battery and a fully working 1080Ti.

1070ti gang here. no problems playing anything on medium/high.

I don't do 4k though but VR is fine.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I feel like I'd need a display that can do 4K before I upgrade

I have never felt more called out.

[–] textik@sh.itjust.works 29 points 10 months ago (3 children)

If my 1080 gives up in the near future, I'll probably just give up AAA gaming. BG3 is literally the only game in the last 5 years I have loved which would require more than a potato to run.

>me still running a 970

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 8 points 10 months ago

My 960 runs Unity games like Overcooked at 4k, so I probably won't be upgrading any time soon. With a toddler I don't have time for AAA games anymore, but I'm guessing the frame rate would be painful.

It's still a decent card, probably can still do well at 1080p max settings in most games. Very similar to a 3060 in terms of performance, which is the card I have.

Depends on the games. My 980TI can still rock 3440x1440 in most of the games I play.

The fact that what I play is mostly metroidvania shouldn't be an issue, right? 😅

My 970 seems as old as the wheel if you read this kind of threads.

Mine is a FE and still chugging along great. I did replace the godawful stock cooler with an aftermarket cooler with a GIANT heatsink. Temps never go over 60 anymore.

Even the base 1080 is still a very capable card. I recently gave mine to a friend when I upgraded to a 3060. And looking at the market, the Pascal generation will remain the goat for the foreseeable future.

[–] Pooptimist@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I will replace my 1060 tomorrow for a 4060 ti. Really looking forward to it!

This is how I've always felt, running on old second hand unstable rigs. But it's better than nothing.

I am still holding on to my 1060 6gb, and honestly, if not for AI stuff, I wouldn't even consider upgrading.

I remember when the 1080ti was top of the line. Good times.

Im going to switch my 1060 only becuz of wayland

[–] Commiunism@lemmy.wtf 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Literally the same thing I did, switched from 1060 6gb to rx 6600 just for wayland.

It's not worth it tbh

Gave up my 980ti for a 6700xt and am very glad. My i7 2600 (non-k) will be used till it truly shits the bed, going to frame it

[–] Evrala@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I spent more time with my 2600k than I did with my threadeipper 1950x.

I remember when a new generation came out (I forgot which) and I just overclocked the 2600k till it matched the stock benchmarks for the new chip. It truly was a monster.
