    anyone who would even consider buying one of these cards is too damn rich for their own good. like what games would you even play on these? if you thought about buying one of these, how about giving me some of that mindless spending money instead, i’ll spend it on other useless shit like shelter and food

      I have such a mid tier, $130ish graphics card and it’s fucking fine for everything I play. When (rarely) FPS is low, I play on low settings and I couldn’t care less. I enjoy the game, not the number of polygons.

      I sometimes hate watch the YouTube videos for $1000+ video cards.

        I said that until I upgraded and tried my first ray traced game (Control). I was flabbergasted.
        I still remember playing games on dos, so I feel like I’ve gone through all the significant game visual* quality milestones, and for me, this is one of them.
        That doesn’t mean it should be in every game or that it makes one automatically good.
