3060s better but they’re both overkill

I'd get whatever's cheaper
Don't need horsepower for that use case
Save the money for something cool
frigid stag
They’re probably dx9 or older so the nvidia might be better from those 2 cards
storm narwhal
They're 2d games
You're implying he needs the extra horsepower or he's not gonna get a good experience
When it really doesn't matter
frigid stag
It’s not about the extra power
They have better compatibility with older games and anything older than like dx12/11
If it was an older amd card though idk might be similar
storm narwhal
It's dx9
Or 10 or whatever
I'm 100% sure they didn't take away support for those
Its not a special thing like physx is either
DirectX shouldn't have issues running on older hardware
No matter who it's from

See that might unironically be better
storm narwhal
But buying a new CPU and mobo for that seems a little much
frigid stag
It’s not that they don’t work but one works better for them. Anything older than dx12 on amd is a bit worse
storm narwhal
But then again...
hoary zodiac
Because those games are more CPU heavy
storm narwhal
That's a fair point

Every time I get closer and closer to minimum specs
At least my cards close to a 4070 but 1080p 60 😬
mortal grail
Ain't no way they're recommending the high end only 1 month into new gen
Wtf
It took way longer for that to happen during the last 2 generations
I don't even think portal rtx recommended a 4080 early on iirc
Oh you know what it did
Bad memory from me then
It even recommended it with dlss 3

It matters not that the peasants cannot pay for the graphics card, it only matters that supremacy is maintained

Uh, steamos?

i mean in general, they still have target innovations
sage sluice
they push where they think the market will go

1080 60 is fine for a 3060 ti with ray tracing but 1080 30 on lowest settings

Just make an ai that creates accounts until you roll a dragon lore
frigid stag
they have to make money somehow its a free game
mortal grail
Then you'll love the loot system
hoary zodiac
The lords of valve need not be concerned with conquest, for their kingdom is vast and powerful
sage sluice
they have to make money somehow its a free game
the issue is what they dont do for preventing minors and the like from gambling
frigid stag
choosing skins is boring anyway
mortal grail
the issue is what they dont do for preventing minors and the like from gambling
Oh true yeah
sage sluice
valve does a lot of sitting back and doing nothing
mortal grail
This was a whole thing a few weeks back

when it comes to that stuff

His name is prophetic
sage sluice
valve is a very intelligent base of people, but yeah they arent as perfect as people like to imagine. after all theyre still a for-profit company
hoary zodiac
I wonder how much valve makes from steam marketplace alone
frigid stag
the cheater problem is much bigger than the lootbox thing
its been happening for years
sage sluice
both, both are bad
again, valve is complacent in a lot of places
they have the resources to fix it
hoary zodiac
They're going to become the sick man of pc gaming if they're not careful
sage sluice
but they dont really even make those games to grow those games, moreso to push those gaming industries from others
frigid stag
buying skins in a free game is kind of an iq test anyway
sage sluice
buying skins is fine if you actually genuinely just enjoy them
sage sluice
i bought a skin on spellbreak one time with friends and i bought some stuff on sea of thieves but otherwise ive not touched much of those types of in game stuff
hoary zodiac
The ones that always bottom out on value
Just so I can have someone die by a revolver
sage sluice
value is subjective

And then see the skin and stats of the weapon

Have you seen the minecraft bedrock microtransaction galore
mortal grail
Nope
sage sluice

hoary zodiac
It is riddled with microtransactions
sage sluice
you can emote in bedrock

bedrock is the final frontier block

Damn they all milk the kids

mortal grail
You don't have a compass until you're way out of school honestly
hoary zodiac
Is explicit content being pushed to younger and younger people
mortal grail
So micro transactions are an annoying one imo

micro transactions equals micro p-

They'll spend $100 on an emote cos "oo shiny" and forget that it means nothing after a week
Not that this is an option

id rather buy a new 2tb ssd or maybe try and grab a new mouse
mortal grail
You used to see stories all the time about stuff like that
sage sluice
or damn buy a book
sage sluice
god thats mind numbing to think about
you could literally buy a kick ass pc with that price
mortal grail
id rather buy a new 2tb ssd or maybe try and grab a new mouse
And kids don't have the capacity to think like that which I why I agree with your concerns honestly
But you could equate that to 3 years of gameplay
Over time it's expensive
That's how they get ya
sage sluice
And kids don't have the capacity to think like that which I why I agree with you...
its the same reason AOC is 18, smoking is 21, drinking 21, etc
hoary zodiac
I spent $1000 on rent per month
mortal grail
its the same reason AOC is 18, smoking is 21, drinking 21, etc
Yeah I agree quite strongly honestly
How much per month
Over a year that's a whole game
Which is ok
elfin mural
it's hilarious that ubm turned into pay-to-bench scheme
mortal grail
Over 3 or 5 years that's a console
sage sluice
if it was just fed to adults i wouldnt mind, but unfortunately kids are the largest piggy banks because theyre a million times more impressionable. especially when you group them together and make kids jealous
mortal grail
That's why businesses love subscriptions
hoary zodiac
Over 3 or 5 years that's a console
Or one month of rent
elfin mural
putting a paywall to the world's worst pc benchmarking software is a sign that ubm is gonna die some day
mortal grail
Really subscriptions in general are really bad
The battlepass is just a mild example of it
sage sluice
its at the point games will lower the quality of default skins to make paid skins look that much better

i genuinely wonder if ubm will turn around and stop being biased

Normally bezel damage looks like burn marks
From delaminating
It won't be too specific to location though unless the design is flawed
Is it like a 6 year old oled
Older oleds have really big issues with burn and screen life on phones
Even ones from as much as a couple years ago
If you ran cranked screen brightness it's likely to happen with enough time, especially if the phone isn't kept cold
