Many people have, like me, realized that they use their deck more than their main rig.
For the last few years I’ve gone from 1080p to 1440p to 4k to 800p and don’t think my main box will need to get beefier until the next big VR advancement. My machine is already three years old. I may rock it for another three at this pace.
How many of you will be laying off of CPU/GPU upgrades since handheld are so compelling?
Depending on the Hardware you’re rocking, you may need not to do so anyway. At least I believe so, I think we’re slowly re-entering the timeline of massively optimizing games to be playable on more systems.
Again, this is all my assumption, but because of the rising prices of PC Hardware, a huge divide has been made in what is basically possible on an average Gamers hardware. Thus I believe that Developers would be fools to create the most beautiful unoptimized mess for the RTX 5090 TI + Ryzen 9 9800X3D, but focus more on what everyone has to get more sales in.
Hope you’re right. I hate the trend of half-assed releases.
I’ve got a good configuration, so I’m not interested in upgrading right now, but even then, the bad optimization of games makes it a bad experience.
AAA titles released recently are mostly unoptimized messes, I don’t see that changing soon, they rely on things like DLSS to have a “decent” experience, what a shame what gaming has become, there’s still many good indie games tho.
