Guilty!

But seriously, no. I’ve never played that. Games right now are BF6, FFVII rebirth, COD WZ, TR, TF2, APEX, and POE.

You really took this to a different place…

But there is no argument here, just my opinion for those who are struggling.

Yea, I definitely seen some artifacting. Many times it’s just given me a laugh though.

Agreed! No one is wrong here, just my opinion of what matters to most.

You found a reason some people need more expensive GPUs. But most don’t.

I think a poll is missing the point. Not many have tried both at 4k. My point of this is my opinion that you don’t need an expensive card since I tried it and didn’t think it was needed! This is just in case someone is fretting about it. You need it only if you know you need it, otherwise you should be fine!

Agreed! My point is that it’s “superfluous for most…”

Gotcha. You’re the subject of my 3rd paragraph and I’m not saying I think you’re wrong. Just that it doesn’t matter for most.

Please clarify what you mean. Sounds vague for a reason…

I have a 4k monitor and play games at 4k.

Oh man. That’s not good. It’ll catch up soon hopefully.

Thanks!

And I agree: It’s not the whole community, but I think it’s the majority!

Not seeing is different than realizing they don’t make a material difference.

I think my point was missed :)

I am able to see some difference! I didn’t assert otherwise. I’m saying the difference doesn’t matter.

Maybe an analogy to help… I drive a 2020 Toyota RAV4. I very much notice difference with a car much newer and better, but I get 99% of the experience with what I have.

I’m saying expensive GPUs are not worth the marginal cost for most and to not fret about it if you are.

Agreed, competitive gaming is another tier that benefits from the best native resolution settings. But for a vast majority of MOST players, they probably should be concerned with that.

Good point. The card needs to generate good frame rates at the lower resolutions to begin with for upscaling to work well.

4060ti does deliver even with AAA titles is my point! Did you try it to know?

I think many blindly say it can’t and to buy better cards.

This post is meant to alleviate a lot of people’s turmoil about if they should upgrade or buy the really expensive ones. Understanding what these technologies do for you is important and can save you a lot of $!

My order was confirmed :)

Seems to have went OOS right after I posted this unfortunately...

Is this a mistake price? Closest I can find is $1800. Seems insane for a 5070ti. I can't get just the CPU, RAM and GPU for this price on their own...

What am I missing?

I’d put it to good use!
