Bro I'm still using my 2060 Super

And I'm still here on my 1060 6GB rocking 40 fps on medium in Jedi: Survivor.

2060 user here as well. Could use a bit of an upgrade, but not much.

I've yet to encounter a game my 2080s couldn't run at 144hz max graphics... Why are we still pumping out $800-1200 gpus when there's nothing requiring that amount of power?

Must be nice hitting that 2010s backlog. I still got all many unplayed steam games. And don't even get started with all the free epic games.

nothing requiring that amount of power

My simulators, Pimax, and three 4k 144hz monitors beg to differ.

Congratulations on not playing anything intensive, I guess?

It's 144hz, not fps. For all we know he could be at like 30fps and it still counts.

Yeah bit you've never played Alan Wake 2 with turbo mode ray tracing in 28000p /s

(proud owner of a 2070s still chugging along here)

Recently upgraded both CPU and GPU for better VR performance. Before this my 3070 was struggling a bit with cyberpunk on the 4k TV. There's also productivity and AI stuff people deal with these days.

There's plenty of needs that require more and more power.
