    Im genuinely of the opinion that GPU manufacturers need to take a gap year. Stop prioritising in game performance development and focus on efficiency and cost for just 12 months.

    Actually Id be happy if consumer PC hardware as a whole went this way for just a little bit.

      You can tune down the power draw yourself and get that efficiency you need.

      Besides that, you should buy AMD Radeon. They are the ones with a reasonable production strategy to lowering die cost and also have the lower price on their cards.

      2080TI, running Starfield at max settings with 4k texture mods, reporting in.

      I want a top of the line GPU, I just can’t find a good enough reason to shell out the money. It keeps plugging away, runs smooth as butter with a slight overclock, and I have no complaints. I heard lots of complaints about the 4*** series cards though.

      I’ve saved up for a top of the line GPU twice now, and I’d rather spend it spoiling my wife and doing the nice things we can’t usually afford.
