Video Game Graphics getting worse?

Why Video Game Graphics Degrade — And Who's to Blame?

I forgot to add raytracing!

I'm pretty sure all the game developers are just going blind at this point.  So, they can't tell it's all blurry and muddy.

I am still rocking a 1080ti 11GB not overclocke and it still works perfect it has no ray tracing but even some modern games i can max out, and then you got these suckers paying 1500 bucks for a card with ray tracing, i paid 80 euro for my card :) now i am playing 7th guest VR and many other PCVR titles on steam and they almost all max out their graphics when i start up the game, (RiftS resolution) ppl wanting the latest and most expensive are suckers that know nothing about games and technology, they just think more is better.

 

Run a generation behind, and get everything almost for free, makes sense right?

Yeah, the whole software "improvements" is to push the hardware improvements, to push the software improvements, etc.  NVIDIA "Over-engineered" the 1080 TI.  Which is what they should do with all their products.  I bet you won't have to buy a newer card until it breaks.  Which means you should get another one for cheap as a backup.  With the economies and the prices the way they are now, you won't need another card until the current cards are dirt cheap.

Amd looks good and 500 for a good card is fairly reasonable

Isn't 1080TI like 4 generations old, soon to be 5 since the next release is around the corner ;)

 

But yeah who the fuck has money for a 1500€ card?  A good PC used to cost that much. 

Thankfully Intel is coming with something that makes sense. Their new Arc B580 card is around $250 and beats a RTX 4060.

1080ti beats a 4060 but no ray tracing

Sort on - average bench

Intel might be the way to go in the future.
