Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts

This is why I’m more than happy with my 5800X3D/7900XTX; I know they’ll perform like a dream for years to come. The games I play run beautifully on this hardware under Linux (BeamNG.Drive runs faster than on Windows 10), and I have no interest in upgrading the hardware any time soon.

There’s no world in which a 750Ti or even 1080Ti is a “solid machine” for gaming in 2025 lol.

  Depends on your expectations. If you okay mainly eSports titles at 1080p it would’ve probably been quite sufficient still.
  
  But I agree it’s a stretch as an all-rounder system in 2025. My 3090 is already showing signs of it’s age, a card that’s two generations older would certainly be struggling today.

  For what I do? It would be perfectly fine. Maybe not for AAA games, but for regular shit at ~40fps and 1080p, it would be perfectly fine.

    That’s not “perfectly fine” to most people, especially PC players.
