[@Ivan-pr7ku]

The case for Doom Eternal is that its game engine relies on tight integration of compute and graphics tasks to accelerate the rendering. Kepler GPUs can't execute compute and graphics kernels at the same time and this deficiency leads to frequent GPU under-utilization, resulting in sharp FPS drops. The small video memory size is not a factor here. Even if Nvidia had the will, no driver-level optimization could do much (if any) to improve the performance in that game for Kepler.

[@mikauanaki4866]

[@Ivan-pr7ku]

@@mommick Even the first gen GCN (Radeon 7970) runs circles around 780Ti in Doom Eternal, despite being weaker in every single parameter. GCN was build from the ground up to concurrently run compute and graphics tasks, thus maximizing its utilization in such scenarios. A text book case of fine-wine design, albeit too early for its time.

[@SubZyYT]

@The Big Sad oh yeah i probably should of said the game, Doom Eternal is what im talking about, 2070super with a 2700x same cpu as you, its not the best cpu but definitely holds the 2060-2070 series together well.

“Elitist Douche” is an excessive attack response when the hardware is clearly showing signs of aging and even arguably holding back gaming evolution when people continue to influence slower development progress by using old hardware [supply issues not withstanding]. I use a 780 in an HTPC which works well for that but I acknowledge it as now being the back of the pack minimum you would ever want to use for modern gaming.

My old rig had, I think, 24GBs of RAM, and was running an XFX 390 Double Dissipation [takes a breath] Black Edition. I _comfortably_ played Cyberpunk at, I think, high settings. Mainly just lowering or turning off anti-aliasing was a sufficient boost, and I seldom noticed any frame drops or anything. This was at 1080p. Cyberpunk may have been completely broken on release, but in my experience the game is not only fixed, but _surprisingly optimized._ Incidentally, on my new rig sporting an AMD 5950x 16-core CPU and an XFX 6900xt, I can play Crysis 3 on max settings, at 4k resolution, while still achieving a mostly consistent 60fps. . . as long as anti-aliasing is turned down to FXAA. That's a _massive_ bump, and I don't even game at 4k, I was just testing it out. I'm going to stay a 1440p gamer and play all the latest games at full settings, 60fps for the next five to ten years, I reckon. Oh, and you can get an XFX R9 390x (I had a 390) on Ebay for $100 right now. For $100, that card is an absolute STEAL. We're talking playing modern games at 1080p, at high or sometimes ultra settings. . . for a c-note!

Pretty far below what anybody would consider to be "good" or even "decent" yet with the right system care and optimizations It runs most games 60+ fps(not great but fine for gaming) with some of the more recent titles or up to date games dipping to about 45-50 here and there on medium settings(Games like WoW Shadowlands, War Thunder etc) certainly not going to be able to use high settings for new stuff though some games are just optimized well and you can(Smite allows this potato to play it in full ultra settings 60+ fps somehow) but titles of the last few years you can smash the graphics all the way up ez. Wouldn't recommend buying a pc like this if you can afford better, but if you have a low budget it's fairly solid and definitely not as bad as the misleading information about it you will find online.

What most people seem to not get right is - No longer supported , that doesn't mean ' can no longer be used ' ect . It just mean they wont continue update drivers , Well do you need that ? Answer is NO . A new updated driver can have all kinds of stabillity issues while trying to fix others ect . Just go download an older driver THAT IS STABLE , and that doesn't mean the newest of newest . Most often you have to go a few drivers back in history to get THE MOST STABLE driver . As time pass they spend less and less time on actually update and just loosely fix a problem here and there , so mostly the newest drivers is more UNSTABLE . I always test out different drivers and when I find the most STABLE then I save the installation so I never have to download again . That way I always have the MOST STABLE driver even it is NOT THE NEWEST . If it aint broke , why change it ? after all games and OS doesnt care at all , it just need a driver to work . The Same is reality with BIOS whatever it is for motherboard or graphics cards . Unless it can give you new features ect , then you really don't need to upgrade at all as long as system is STABLE . I have seen many people constantly upgrade BIOS , Drivers ect over and over everytime a new is out and I also have seen how much fustration and unstabillity it can lead too . All while I sit with my old drivers and a STABLE working system .

The fact that we're even having to DISCUSS using this nearly decade old, practically fossilized hardware as a viable alternative to paying extortion pricing for modern gear is a bit depressing. Anyone remember living in 2010 and thinking "hmmm, no, this GTX 580 is just too darn expensive, I'll just buy a second hand Geforce 4 Ti from 2002 off Ebay instead, that should tide me over"??? No, you don't, because not only could a Geforce 4 Ti not even hope to run any of the games we were binging in 2010, but the GTX 580 was considered bad value for money at the time, and it was the fastest single GPU card on the planet while costing 5-600 dollar max. Again, it was considered a bad deal, and it was 500$ MSRP. Nowadays people are glad to pay 500$ for a mid-range card.

[@Selrisitai]

By time I got into the game, uh, 10 years ago maybe, prices must have already been crazy, because I've always paid a lot for graphics cards. The second card I bought (bought it for my pop) was $450, a PNY Geforce GTX 780 Ti 3GB, according to the Amazon listing. That was 2015. In 2019 I bought Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. For $630. To be fair, that's Nvidia. And I skipped a year. In 2018 I bought myself an XFX R9 390x (which turned out to be a 390, not a 390x, so I think I got ripped off, but since this was five years ago I guess I can't complain anymore). That R9 390x was a thrifty $220, and lasted me four years, and would have kept lasting if my computer hadn't died. (Bad motherboard, but I was kind of spoiling for a new rig after owning the last one, in two or three iterations, for 10 years.) So I dunno, I think the prices have always been a little crazy, or at least for as long as I've been watching them.

Games are photorealistic. $50 GPUs can run Crysis. And now we can build a computer that runs photorealistic games for $250 (What would've been $177.18 in 2010), or otherwise just keep running our 10 year old computers. Steam survey confirms this.

Until a few months ago I used a NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti (3GB GRAM) in my gaming PC and for 1080p and a second monitor it was enough most of the time. The first recognisable downside came, when NVIDIA stopped the driver updates and games started to include new Stuff which depended on new updates. The first game where I was not able to play it anymore was Horizon - Zero Dawn. Before, it ran on minimal graphic settings and if you don't depend on 60 FPS and can live with 40 FPS it can work.

I'm running a GTX 970 G1 Windforce and it's still a really good card in my opinion. I'm running 1440p medium-ultra on games at 60fps.

[@ChrisMcCarroll]

I love my 970

[@night1wind]

That's really impressive (not being sarcastic, seriously).

[@clementm9161]

Yeah right, this card is still really good !

[@ChrisMcCarroll]

Granted, I’m not playing the latest and greatest games on max settings …. I was running some test recently to test performance. The card still runs as good today as it did 8 years ago or so when I put it in. I was really blown away.

Jokes on you, I'm still running my 760 SLI when I need that sweet performance

[@rush4360]

that's a unique setup nowadays, i like it

[@erichansen2901]

That's what I loved about pcs. Being able to add multiple gpus. Now it's no longer a thing and it sucks. Having a super tower with a tiny gpu looks silly now.

@@supersop1367 Directx 12 killed sli. Nvidia Inspector isnt even worth the time anymore. Half the time it doesn't work or makes the game worse.

I luckily got a gt 1030 and overclocked it to its limits and I still have less performance lol

I did a deep dive into my old setup from 3 years ago. It was so outdated and didn't realize it until Warzone came out and it wouldn't even run it. It's all still in the case in the garage. Radeon HD 6850, FX4350, 1GB of DDR3, an ASRock Mobo, and a 350w off road power supply. Only decent piece was the hyper 212 Evo cooler. No wonder I struggled with FSX and other decent games. Ended up replacing it with a Skytech Chronos prebuild (fail) with a Ryzen 3100, Asus A320M-K, GTX 1650 Super, 550w offbrand PSU, 4GB of DDR4, and a cheap air cooler. I modded it to the point it no longer had any original parts left aside from the 1TB Barracuda SSD. Now I have the white Corsair 6800X with a 5600x cooled by a CM LC240E on a Gigabyte B450M Aorus (I know), 48GB of Ripjawz DDR4 (2x16GB + 2x8GB until my other two 16GB chips arrive), an MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 3060, 750w Enermax Revolution PSU, 2TB 870 NVME SSD, 2TB Firecuda SSD, and 2-1TB Barracuda SSDs. I'm replacing the Mobo with an EATX asap, so I can expand my build somewhat and make it more aesthetically pleasing.

[@americansmark]

@Stein Mauer cuz I can buy what I want? The games I play store assets into ram. I play with tons of assets on flight simulator and cities skylines. It's nothing to load 48gb of assets into a game. Live flight traffic with proper liveries is a huge ask. Add to that the on-demand high resolution texture streaming and tons of both official and community DLC for Flight Simulator and it gets to be a RAM heavy game. To be fair, it's an everything heavy game. As for the Mobo, I didn't get the EATX. I am looking for a better RGB board now. I wanted the EATX to fill in the empty space on my case.

[@americansmark]

@Stein Mauer no. Just couldn't justify it for what I play at this point. 5600x is a great gaming CPU and among the best if you don't plan to stream or do much rendering. I wouldn't mind a 5800x when I switch boards. I considered going all out and getting a Threadripper over the 5600x, but I don't need it and the boards are more workstation focused. What would you have recommended?
