Are budget and mid range GPUs the secret to eternal happiness?

How come people with mid range cards are living a very comfy life, no worries about the future and are happy to just game at 1080p.

Meanwhile the gays who have 3080 or 4080 and other expensive shit, are always constantly malding and stressed that their card can't do 200 FPs on 4k with ultra settings.

        Nvidia's next cards aren't coming until 2025 and AMD are rumoured to have given up on the high end entirely. The only thing you're getting next year is another Intel flop.

      I went with with mid range pc full AMD.
      RX 6700 XT - $400
      Ryzen 5600 - like $100 and something
      Literally rest of PC except monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers - $1000
      Fucking expensive, you can feel the inflation in all the extra parts, motherboard, PSU, case etc.
      Gaming literally everything on 1080p ultra settings 80 fps, raytracing off obviously.
      1500$ got me in comfy spot, but back in the days that money would get me extreme high tier gaming.

      While i am definitely eternally happy with my life choices, these prices have everyone stressed at all levels i think.

                The A770 doesn't even consistently outperform a fucking 3060. Intel's drivers are actually what people meme AMD's drivers as being.

      3080 was the Ampere "flagship" or top/high end of that generation so ofc it was 700

      Mid-range price was always between 300 and 450 historically.

          You've taken the techtuber and reyydit propaganda if you truly believe that. Those cards can play modern titles just fine. For the unoptimized shit like memefield, yeah it'll struggle but so will your 4090 anyway.

            You're coping hard. I had a 1660ti and nearly every game ran like shit on it (including indie shit) if they even ran at all. Go do yourself a favor and buy a 3060 at least. They're cheap now.

              I bought a 3060 when they were still above MSRP to play Bannerlord because I wasn't expecting Bannerlord to still be unfinished a year later. Oh well. It's a good buy at the current prices if you're still on a 1060 tier card.

            NTA but I had an rx480 until not long ago which is similar to a gtx1060. i spent the last few years lowering settings to 720-900p and lowering the quality, or praying the game has upscaling support, the only games that ran really well for me was amazingly optimized stuff like doom
            you're not going to have a good experience with new games on a gtx1060 lol

    If you need a new gpu for video games only just get an AMD gpu. Now if you need it for anything else like 3d modeling, vfx, or rendering then get a NVIDIA.

    I bought a 1080, brand new, when it came out and people said I was fucking insane for spending that much money.
    Guess what? I have to lower settings to mid-low in a lot of newer titles, but I can still play them. 5 years on, I'm still playing brand new game at a solid, playable framerate.

      I did something similar with my 4090 recently. I was going back and forth over it and wondering if I would really use it that much, but unless there's an enormous swing upwards in requirements, the 4090 is gonna be usable for the better part of a decade, even if that usability is on med instead of high later on.
