Probably i will skip even Pascal gpu's

[Tadziunia]

I thought that it's stupid upgrading and upgrading pc over and over again, i have GTX 770 but am amazed of Titan x power , it's money trap, people want more and more FPS , i Had GTS 450 for 3 years i was happy playing atleast Low settings with playable frame rate, i Played Battlefield 3-4 1080p medium with 32fps averange , i was happy, i wanted to play ULTRA atleast NO AA with 40fps , bought GTX 770 overclocked it and gained 10% performance getting averange 80fps on battlefield 3 on ULTRA , but the thing is i don't play games anymore, two-three months ago i had AMD athlon II X4 631 3.3ghz oc with GTX 770 , a lot of people said me , Your gpu crying buy some decent i5 or i7. i bought I7 2600K+Z77 ASROCK fatality Pro M mobo and cooler from my friend , he sold me it for 260eur , pretty cheap, considering i have year and half warranty for cpu But but but... I gained almost nothing... maybe 5-10% performance in some games , big boost was in rendering videos...  recently i thought "I need another GTX 770 for SLI" but GTX 770 2GB SLI good only at 1080-1440p gaming , for 4K i need atleast 4gb variant of my gpu. But it's just waste of money, my GTX 770 doing well, Everything running maxed out am okey with No AA , probably ill even skip Pascal and wait for even more advance gpu's like Volta. I think My GTX 770 will last me for atleast 3years playing ant high-veryhigh setting no AA till it will reach 30fps. I don't talking about shitty game Assasins creed unity , i had AMD cpu it ran like crap , people said it's because your weak cpu, changed cpu to i7 and overclocked it to 4.6ghz, still runs like crap even with newest patch at any settings. Some people had GTX 670 and upgraded to GTX 770 it was waste, GTX 770 ONLY 15-20% faster than GTX 670, GTX 670 STILL kicking ass gpu , and it's pretty cheap now. some people going from GTX 680 SLI TO 780 SLI TO 980 SLI, And for what ? just play some games which would run on some GTX 750...

I'm going to be completely honest, I got a bit lost reading this.

[Aircooled Brain]

Your point is valid .

pascal is gone be prettty op

 

but i get your point, its only worth buying for what you need now

[VerticalDiscussions]

Erhm what? Ok people need a Pascal (Not the programing language x-x) buying guide now. Sometimes the purpose if for more than videogames and those people should be taken into consideration. And who buys a 5k display to not play maxed settings an online game (Battlefield series as example) at an acceptable frame rate? Its your opinion tough, and if you dont want it then dont purchase it.

If you don't want to upgrade to keep up with the more demanding title that's fine nobody force you to. If you are happy with what you have right now great. The reason that expensive gpu even exist is for the people that want their game max out with high fps. For a long time i was running game at 20 fps at the lowest setting on my old potato laptop and i was completely happy. Just respect other opinion

Let's stop eating shall we? We're just gonna get hungry again 

That's the vibe I'm getting...

Although I agree with you about spending and the law of diminishing returns, the thing is people can spend their money the way they want to. And also being a pc enthusiast as a hobby does not only include playing games but the building and tinkering a system also is a huge part of it. If you would look at a lot of the pc tech youtubers like linus, jayz2cents,techsyndicate, etc. most of them spend very little time gaming.

i agree, thats why i dont agree on buying extremely high specced PCs that cost 3000-4000$ (tri sli/xfire 980/290x, 5960x etc...) cause the bang for your buck is decreasing very fast over time, as new GPUs are released like every 7-8 months if im not mistaken, if you get like 700-1000$ PCs you wont really be sorry about it and it will fine to upgrade after a year or 2 unlike with ultra high end pcs it feels like a waste of money to upgrade after 2 years

dunno if it made sense to you guys but this has been my opinion for a long time
