Or just move to a a console, the quality might not be the same, but it is way cheaper. This is one of the reasons people by consoles, they are cheaper and the games are optimized for it.
Comment on MSI and ASUS hike GeForce RTX 50 series prices in official stores, now up to $3,409 for RTX 5090

Either devs are going to have to start finding ways to keep next gen games functioning properly on my 2080ti, or I’m going to have to find a different hobby if AMD follows suite. I will absolutely not be coming close to paying for anything on that scale.

After a while it’s not cheaper. 2080ti should already perform at the level or above a PS5 and console games don’t get the discounts PC games have plus most indie games aren’t even available on console.
And for real you don’t need a 1000$ card to game up to date AAA games, a 600-800$ PC can play fine at 1080p

Nah. I don’t have a computer to game, but I built my computer to game. Consoles at this point are smart data collection devices that also play games. I wouldn’t introduce that into my network at home. I could get a steam deck though…

2080 will play more than a lifetime supply of indie games. No need to continue supporting anti consumer AAA games

I get rarely but newer AAA titles but grab them later on sale. There will be a point when either my card fails or just can’t keep up. If I’m pigeon holed to only lower graphics games, so be it.

Eh just get into the used pc parts market and upgrade to the 5090 when it is made obsolete by the 7090

Yea, really I just wanted to piss and moan about Nvidia. Realistically, I’ll find alternatives if the need arises, but it won’t be to the tune of a $3k purchase.

Don’t worry. You can always just buy Skyrim again.
