I just can’t justify the cost for what I’d get. You have to spend basically what I spent on my entire computer just to get a half decent Nvidia.
Comment on Nvidia’s RTX 5060 review debacle should be a wake-up call for gamers and reviewers
megopie@beehaw.org 2 days agoTo some extent it comes down to nvidia’s software. Like, some people like their upscaling, and I’ve heard from streamers that they need them for NVENC.
On the other hand, their Linux drivers are awful and they’ve been less than cooperative on that front in the past.

Oh yah, for sure 90% of people shouldn’t be wasting the money on Nvidia cards at this point. There are very few situations where they make sense.
Intel and AMD both have way better price to performance cards.

My 9070 with a 9800x3d cost me $1150 all in, it’s just a no brainer. I’m pulling 70-80fps at 3440x1440p on all ultra settings with Expedition 33. I really can’t imagine the improvements ever being worth it lol

They’ve been getting a lot better after hiring that one guy to work on their open source drivers. I’m curious how good they’re going to be in a year or so.
