Why are people like this?

Because the fool's money belong in some smarter guy's bank account, it's the natural order

Is there even any point in maxing out graphics settings? I played Cyberpunk 2077 on medium settings and had no problem. The game looked good enough and ran well enough.

are there such people?
I thought most people don't really care what GPU they have as long as it runs the games they want to play and in the other end there are people like me who want to have all the newest and best graphics or highest FPS etc.

Jealous?
you're jealous.

More headroom will make your card last longer.
In Europe right now room temperature is 100F
If you have a 2070 and you want to play Elden Ring, your card will hit 180F in no time.
If you have a 3080 and you play Elden Ring it won't even budge.
>but the point of a gpu is to be squeezed

>never actually does, only ever plays Doom wads and pixel indies
prove it

Gladly, but I'm not OP.
I'm playing Factorio on my 12700KS and 3070Ti with 64GB DDR5.

Can you game at 1080p on an apu

>Game has baked shadows anyway making this entirely redundant

It depends on what game you're playing, and what you have the settings set to.

>buy card in anticipation of good games coming out
>good games never come out
the only mystery here is why people keep falling for it

I'm old so 1090p@60hz is my limit. This means that my 1660 6GB will survive me. See you later, losers.

>Carmack's 2nd worst game
Let me guess, first one is D3, right?

>RTX 3070
>Currently playing Kingdoms of Amalur, a port of a PS3 game
I'm not even mad, with 2x SSAA it looks gorgeous.

yes but only old games
for example on vega 8 dark souls 1 and 2 work well but 3 is pretty much unplayable

Rage

Best spot to be in given the devastated state of gaming right now. I deliberately left a few games behind ages ago like Dragon's Dogma and Nier because I knew this was going to happen.

Oh shit, i forgot about it totally.
Yeah, what a disaster it was.

That's an underutilized or unused asset right there.

>1660 super
haven't played a single game that I couldn't max

Or you could just like use air conditioner or something. Like normal people do in warmer places.
