Not thinking years down the road. Getting one very soon. I can run anything on my laptop yet it can almost burn my hand. So PS5 and new gaming laptop. No desktop. Like to be mobile when this fucking covid ends.
Will see the best graphics card with a price within reason and it is going to be a pain in the ass to download and transfer all my games over but so goeth life.
Have an amazing new t.v. and watching some news on third world countries and is so amazing how advanced some countries are and some are like they are from the stone age.
Year of Covid, way to much streaming and endless gaming. Still, life is good, what can I say? I can't save the world.
Have a Nvidia GEFORCE 940MX which is ancient. Surprised all the new games I buy on it will actually run on it without lowering the graphic quality. Have to put a fan by it. Surprised it hasn't given out yet.

Yeah it's surprising. Just go back to Doom 2016 and it will smash it, it even gets on top of Doom Eternal at times. But 1080p is really, really bad. Even typing right now is annoying (I have really good corrected vision).
Anyone else think though, these engines have miles to go. I used to think we were getting close to photorealism, but without 4K at least I think you're looking at using a lot of imagination still.
1650/1660 won't do these modern ones comfortably at highest settings, even 1080p.
I don't know. You got a point but it depends how serious you are. A serious gamer needs 4K imo.

The thing is 1660 ti can do 4k Ive seen it many times, but you also run into over heating issues, crashing, 10fps
I would buy a 3070 jus to do 4k I dont think you'll ever need a 3090 for anything ever

My 6gig 1660 super can play older games at 4k max settings. I was able to play Borderlands 2 at 4k with 98% of the settings at max @ 60 fps, It's a good card . For 4k modern titles, I think you need a 3080 minimum for max settings at 30 - 60 fps. I'm waiting for a 3080 super or something like that cause I don't think that 10gigs of vram is enough.
As for raytracing, I think it's the wrong time for Nvidia to want to implement it into mainstream gaming, maybe in 5 to 10 years, but right now, current pc hardware is not really up to the task in my opinion, hence why they need things like dlss. Which is why when I eventually get a 3080 or 3090, I will not be turning on RT or dlss.

Well guys, I did it!!!!
I got myself a 3080. I was hoping to get a 3080 with more vram but that could be another year away (or more!!), so I had the chance to buy one and I did. I tried Borderlands 3 last night at 4k max settings with a capped 60 fps and what can I say, it looks and plays very very good . Even though I got it at a computer shop, I still paid more then the recommend retail price. Unfortunately GPU makers have been putting up the price , and here in Australia it's even more. A 3090 is selling for $3600 au dollars ($2777 us), that's at a pc shop, not a ebay scalper!!
Other then the price, I'm so far happy with the 10g 3080 and should the need arise over the next few years (as games get bigger/better), I'll just drop back down to 1440p max settings.
If you can get a card?, I'd say get it, as you just don't know in these crazy times when you'll get another chance .
