every AAA game in recent years sucks and most of them are scrapped before they’re finished
Remarkable how none of that is true.
Elden ring, Baldurs Gate 3, Helldivers 2, Wukong, Marvel Rivals… List goes on, and that’s just 2024. You .ight not like some genders, and that’s fine, but there are good AAAs.
Also, with the number of AAAs reaching the shelves, what do you mean “most are scrapped”? Sure some games get cancelled from time to time, but saying that’s most of them is just fantasy…
Thanks for the corrections, looks like I got in late on BG3 and if we’re nitpicking about Shadow of the Erd Tree being a DLC, we need to talk about horse armour.
In any case, the guy I was replying to was crying about no good AAA games in the last few years, so it still applies, but going by overall reviews you can just as easily sub in stuff like Metaphor ReFantazio or Tekken or Like a Dragon and I’m sure there’s others in genres I don’t care about
What’s funny is that a new GPU alone will set ya back that amount already. I’m hopefully picking up the 5080 at launch for 1k
Used graphics card prices aren’t that much better than new.
The 4090 still has a VRAM advantage over the 5080 so it’s probably going to continue to hold it’s value pretty well. Especially since there’s a massive voice in pricing between the $1k 5080 and the $2k 5090.
Unless the 24gb ARC GPU comes out (or AI crashes) I see the 4090 just not depreciating a substantial amount. And that’s the only option that would compare to the 5080 since AMD isn’t even trying to make high end.
Not OP but my GPU is a decade old, would be nice to have the latest for once.
You might be better off with a 4000 series, unless you got a new motherboard that won’t be bottlenecked much by the pcie version jump.
I was just going to say my new PC was $5000 and $1,200 of that was the GPU.
I don’t see how a gaming only pc has $3800 of non-gpu costs. There has to be a threadripper equivalent cpu and/or a shit ton of storage/ram on there.
I feel like kinda the main reasons to pick up a latest gen gpu nowadays are energy efficiency and a warranty (although 5000 series doesn’t look all that energy efficient, we’ll see i guess)
otherwise you can definitely get something better on ebay for cheaper
but if you live somewhere where energy is expensive, the difference might be significant. 500w is kinda a lot lol, any difference in performance/watt will add up
prices are going to drop when the new gpus come out and people need to get rid of their old ones, but currently with a little bit of looking i could find a ‘buy it now’ 7900 xt for $640, a 3090 for $775, and a 3090 ti for $850
honestly these aren’t great deals you could probably find better ones
I bought ps5 specifically for aaa games, never been happier, pc is for indie and ps5 ps3 and Xbox 360 for aaa
I’m OK with 2D but draw the line at pixel-art. Pun not intended.
I love my 3080 running LA noire.
