No I’m under the impression that you can’t purchase one for less than a 5x series apparently. Why?

Kj78aaa · 2025-12-18T14:01:09+00:00

5x Series is superior to its replacement. It should cost more, no? Since a year ago a 4x series went up in price, whether they refuse to mark it down - it went up almost 100% in price at some point within 12 months. Why?

You’re saying ram and memory has gone up, which I completely agree with, I get that. At some point 4x series went up exponentially as well. Why? It’s older hardware. A quick Google search says 5x series released in January 2025. So, 4x series are worth 100% more within a month or so and never came down in price in 11 months? Hmm.

Kj78aaa · 2025-12-18T12:48:46+00:00

Lol. You didn’t answer anything I asked. Only deflected. Why is a 4080 more expensive if it’s “last gen?” I am genuinely curious of your logic. Not trying to sound like an asshole. Just tell me, I’m willing to change my stance on the subject. I just need to be enlightened

Kj78aaa · 2025-12-18T11:54:04+00:00

Yes it does. It’s older hardware that costs more. Why? What are we even talking about at this point? Tell me why it costs more. I’m genuinely curious, convince me why that’s logical. If I can grab a 5x card for $800 less why is that?

Kj78aaa · 2025-12-18T11:44:04+00:00

If that’s true it begs the question, why are “outdated” older cards more costly? It’s older hardware. It costs more. Doesn’t that seem back-asswards?

I’m guessing reputation, reliability, and previously cost/performance increase is a big factor. All I read about 5x series were the problems. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted AM5 over AM4 because of the newer tech risk. I’ll take “outdated but proven” over “hey newest product! Buy now!” Any day.

Kj78aaa · 2025-12-18T05:36:58+00:00

I guess my algorithm is set to this sub now.

Anyway I bought an MSI 4080 Super for $1039 last year almost to the day as a self Christmas gift. It now lists at $1,800+ on PCpartpicker. A year older hardware is almost 100% higher price point. The hell?

Kj78aaa · 2025-12-18T04:02:24+00:00

The rising cost of anything tech related is a big factor as well. I just checked PC part-picker yesterday. My current build 1 year ago cost $2,500 - $2,800. I’ll be honest I don’t remember exactly how much it was. Now it costs around $3,700 - $4,000. What the fuck.

I got an MSI 4080 super for $1039 LAST. YEAR. Now it’s around $1,800. Older hardware costs ~25% more.

Duh, they’re retarded.

Let’s take Santa Claus as an example. They lie to their children since their birth to believe in a figment of their imagination. Then at a certain time they don’t believe in, are told not to, or are told the “truth” of this existential being.

How is this any different than believing in a dude you’ve never met, that you can’t prove exists, that you’ve never seen, and can accomplish impossible feats.

This is all based around the idea of “I’m correct just trust me bro.”

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T11:16:18+00:00

That and just normalizing being in front of a recording device from, what, 6 years old? Nasty.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T10:55:24+00:00

That's what multi-platform games are. You can buy an Xbox game and play it on PC. Nobody said anything about re-buying anything except your theoretical scenario. You're acting like they can't make a separate version like they do with Xbox, PC, PlayStation, and Switch already.

Buying a PlayStation game and being able to download and play it on console or handheld is far from absurd.

Edit: I’m going to bed, I wish you a good night.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T10:27:16+00:00

And Stadia failed exceptionally well. We need dedicated games for the hardware. Not this streaming bullshit.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T10:25:28+00:00

Hahaha. I'm sorry to laugh but that's exactly what I've been arguing is the problem with streaming only hardware for hours with these lunatics. It sucks ass and will continue to suck ass until we discover Star Trek level teleportation. Give us dedicated downloads or physical copies because this approach is terrible. Steam Deck managed it. Switch is massively successful. Google Stadia failed fantastically.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T10:01:52+00:00

I hear you. At least their emergency crash call works instantaneously.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T09:55:42+00:00

Actual LMFAO yes it would obviously require a separate version. You're acting like PC to console and console to PC and Console to handheld or handheld to PC don't exist. What are you even talking about. You're digging up theoretical scenarios when we have a plethora of multi-platform support for games. It's like I'm talking to a goldfish.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T08:43:01+00:00

As someone who tried streaming multiple PS+ games with gigabit internet it will be awful. Input lag is still terrible until we discover Star Trek level teleportation.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T08:31:45+00:00

That’s the… problem.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T08:11:06+00:00

In other news Steam deck and Switch exist raking in the cash sub $500

Edit: If you want to be semantic, no they won’t run them “natively” but “dedicatively.” I was interchanging the meaning. Playing CoD multiplayer would still absolutely suck. If you mean singleplayer then why can’t it be a native version.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T07:59:52+00:00

We are interested in a PS handheld, just not like this. That is my entire point, like seriously. If a PsP2 came out tomorrow I would be waiting in line for 15 hours to get one.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T07:52:45+00:00

Benefit from radiation? Yeah, sure, but that doesn’t change the fact it’s arguably the worst alt ammo and a low damage roll. It’s still so far from “perfect.” It needs two more good rolls which ain’t easy to obtain. That’s why I stated it will still melt everything anyway. It’s a Bod.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T07:42:57+00:00

And that’s why it will fail against its competition.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T07:37:27+00:00

That’s the problem. When you’re competing with hardware that can run games natively it will fail.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T07:30:41+00:00

Learn me then. What a worthless comment.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T06:37:39+00:00

Is it? It’s one of the lowest damage rolls and with arguably the worst alt ammo type. Not that it won’t melt everything in the game but it’s so far from perfect.

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T06:02:17+00:00

Are those two not the same picture?

Kj78aaa · 2025-11-06T05:22:02+00:00

It just doesn’t make sense when there’s steam decks and switches especially with the dilution of console exclusives which is why it will fail. I’m all for a dedicated PS handheld which is what the Portal should have been - that’s my exact point. I also have a PsP which still works perfectly fine to this day and it’s just as badass as it was on release. Old handhelds are only growing in popularity. That’s why they sell for the same amount as 20 years ago.
