PC Gaming is dead.

[Todd Thundercock]

AMD is just as guilty with NVidia on scalping new GPUs with AIB partners before actual scalpers get the chance to. Pricing is complete Fear Of Missing Out consoomer insanity.

It's over. The days of casually shopping for anything above an entry-level dogshit GPU which hasn't been improved over the past 5 years beyond software gimmicks, is over.

The only silver lining is that 99% of new AAA games suck, so you're not missing out on much.

Not to say there isn't value in playing older games where you can use older GPUs and PC components. That will always be wonderful. This is what I regularly partake in.

But, the present and future is very grim.

It's because of all the "tools" out there like cuda, raytracing, and unreal engine that makes it so that even a lowIQ jeet can shit out a triple A game with the cavet that you need a 5090 super deluxe++ to crack 60fps

Now entry level gpus cost the same as a high end gpus. And only entry gpus are found at over $400 on the used market (unless you find a someone desperate to sell their rtx 4070 ti). This is beyond parody at this point.

While entry-level GPUs are barely improving if at all. NVidia 5060 cards are probably going to be roughly the same performance as my 3060 Ti which was released in 2020.

I might go back to older games too.

Modern games are getting way too strange and are often of a low quality too.

That's for sure, every entry GPU has the power around in between base PS5 and PS5 Pro. Going back to AMD In Europe AMD gpus cost $900+ which is just pure insanity for mid level trash that will be basis of PS6 in future but that console will cost even less than that GPU. This is the reason why Nvidia has a total monopoly over market with 90% market share AMD are their allies (both CEOs are cousins)

Old games mogs new games that it's not even funny. Even free standalone total conversion mods are of higher quality than AAA trash
