I fell for it last gen. Once I was done shoehorning (and I mean shoehorning) an oversized power supply, a video card that’s the size of a bus terminal, and all those stupid splitter cables, I swore any further purchases off.
Everything is just way too expensive, the gains are marginal, and it’s a lot of fuss all to just largely play re-rereleases of games that are 30+ years old, and other horribly optimized games that will take 2 years to sort out and in the meantime the computer you are using is irrelevant because it’s just going to run like shit no matter what. The hardware itself is questionably optimized too.
I’m running this setup into the ground and when it comes to gaming, I’m a console guy going forward.
NVIDIA has done an amazing job at minimizing my FOMO for this generation of cards. Proper anti-consumerism stuff, you gotta respect it.
