Which graphics card are you running ? I have a 4060 personally.
Comment on The RAM crisis could completely change how developers make video games
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 12 hours agoI’ve been rocking the same graphics card since 2021, and it still plays every new game on high settings. There are very few games that can even afford the production budget that would push a card like that or even a PS5 to its limits anyway. My most-played game is a 2D game from 2012 that can run on a cheap laptop, and the market at large is most focused on games that are so low spec that they can run on phones too.

RX6800 XT. It did cost me an arm and a leg when I bought it, due to the shortage at the time, but it’s lasted a long, long time.

Dam that’s a prettyneayt card. So far it runs anything you throw at it ?
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Yup. The only game to really stress test it was Borderlands 4, but…that’s because the performance in that game sucks across the board. Even then, they put out a performance patch that helped a ton, and I can still run it on high settings with some frame gen, or a few settings turned down to medium without it.

And even if you’re playing a lot of modern AAA games, the settings beyond medium are often just offering diminishing returns. I can barely tell the difference in most cases and it will still tank the FPS down by half. It’s just not worth it.

People, especially those who run games on monitors with hi resolution, sleep on the fact that you can easily turn AA off to get a massive boost in performance for virtually no degradation of graphics.
