My mind is still blown on why people are so interested in spending 2x the cost of the entire machine they are playing on AND a hefty power utility bill to run these awful products from Nvidia. Generational improvements are minor on the performance side, and fucking AWFUL on the product and efficiency side. You'd think people would have learned their lessons a decade ago.
they pay because AMD (or any other for that matter) has no product to compete with a 5080 or 5090
What do you even need those graphics cards for?
Even the best games don't require those and if they did, I wouldn't be interested in them, especially if it's an online game.
Probably only a couple people would be playing said game with me.
