If you care about real FPS/$, you buy AMD, or possibly now Intel, lol.

Nvidia ruined gaming affordability both by aiming to make high quality graphics on PC a boutique, expensive luxury, and by upending the entire history of how lighting works in games by collaborating with Epic and other game companies to make their cards the only things that can even kind of run their insanely unoptimized real time raytracing.

I am entirely convinced Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch is almost entirely due to Projekt Red being strapped for cash, and making a faustian funding bargain with Nvidia about a year before release, the main condition of which being ‘rewrite your entire game engine you’ve been working on for 10 years to work with this insane lighting technology, and don’t let this change your release window at all.’
