You mean these small business owners?

Sure seems like they deserve everything they’re going to get. FOFA small business owners.

I’m one of the sane Americans and honestly screw this whole, “think of the children” crap. America as a whole voted for Idiocracy by voting in not just Trump but all of these damn moron, spineless Republicans and yeah Americans, all of us, deserve all of this. That’s how democracy works unfortunately.

Honestly, unless you’re out there protesting like it’s Ferguson every day, you’re not doing anything to actively to push back on the insanity so yeah, you deserve it too, just like I do with just working to keep surviving this blossoming dictatorship.

Because the fat orange idiot is hell bent on making gaming great again for you by raising all the prices.

Well of you ask Nvidia it’s now just the driver making frames for you.

Nothing but a naked cash grab from a crappy company

Reasonably popular, 1.5 million copies, means it didn’t make all the money so it’s a complete failure to AAA publishers.

Yeah, those were the days when cost control was simply to use the same PCB but with just the traces left out. There were also quite a few cards that used the exact same PCB, traces intact, that you could simple flash the next tier card’s BIOS and get significant performance bumps.

Did a few of those mods myself back in the day, those were fun times.

Wish more gamers would but that ship has long sailed unfortunately. I mean look at what the majority of gamers tolerate now.

Honestly I can’t believe that people have been gaslit so effectively that game frames is a baseline for graphics and not a tool for making older cards able to last longer that it was presented as first.

Well that’s a bit of a shame then.

This generation is all about the upsell and fake frames at least with Nvidia.

Shame that AMD sounded like they weren’t going to try to complete in the 5080 space given what we’ve been shown.

Again, I know I posted about PC/video cards because this is a PC gaming sub but this will affect so much more we use and buy and having a computer to self host is the least of your worries.

TV’s? Uses tons of semiconductors, 100% tariffs. Washing machine? Semiconductors, 100% tariffs. Car? So many semiconductors, 100% tariffs. That cordless impact drill? Semiconductors, 100% tariffs.

If it has any electronics your going to be paying more with this cockamamie grift.

TSMC has been complaining/level setting the AZ plant already. They’re saying they can’t find qualified employees, regulations on water, you know building a water intensive process in the middle of a damn desert that has a water shortage for a decade now, and things like sulfuric acid, but the biggest things is they pointed out that Taiwan has laws preventing advanced manufacturing process from being moved out of the country.

That is the biggest things that will prevent them from producing what Trump thinks will happen with these I’ll thought out tariffs and you may be right that it will piss them off enough to pull all the way out.

And you miss the whole point. So you think this only affects the 5090? You do realize that even the lowly B570, $219 MSRP, is manufactured by TSMC and would be hit by the moronic Republican 100% tariff.

Good luck average/budget gamers.

Very true, it’s not just processors, it’s also a lot of semiconductors used in every device ranging from your TV, to your washer, to your car.

Everything electronic will be hiked up astronomically.

And given what trump and Republicans who have control of everything and what they’ve already jammed through, I would bet on anyone standing up and stopping this or any other tariff he’s promised.

When it comes to the average American? Yes.

Maybe the future but I still content that ray tracing is not the present.

Ray tracing as it currently stands tanks frame rates into sub par gaming experience s unless your on a more expensive card and so many implementations of ray tracing adds so much more noise and artifacts that I just don’t think that ray tracing isn’t there just yet to make it mandatory.

I mean I recently just bought a 4070 super to finally see what ray tracing is all about and finally have a ‘mid range’ card that could actually do it right and I’ll be honest, I find ray tracing pretty underwhelming. I turned ray tracing off when playing ratchet and clank just recently because there was so much noise and artifacts that the visual quality was just too bad for me and wasn’t worth the big hit to frame rates and many other games suffer the same things I found.

Plus so many lower end graphics cards are still shipping with 8 GB of vram, which the 5060 will still be at, which has been proven that it’s not sufficient for Ray tracing without dropping visual quality was down.

So again, I simply don’t think that ray tracing is ready for being required in games yet.

Yup, the whole bullshit with Nvidia touting the 5070 performing better* than a 4090.

Cool. I guess I won’t be buying it then and will simply sail the seas when I finally feel like playing it after all the games I bought on steam and gog.

You know what, you’re right:

https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/intel-arc-b580-battlemage-gpu-review-benchmarks-vs-nvidia-rtx-4060-amd-rx-7600-more

Let’s take a look at the number for the vaulted 4060.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 - 1080p - 54.3 average with 44.4 at 1% lows

Dragon’s Dogma 2 - 1440p - 39.5 average with 32.5 at 1% lows

CyberPunk 2027 - 1080p Medium - 38.9 with 24.4 at 1% lows

and https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Indiana-Jones-und-der-Grosse-Kreis-Spiel-74506/Specials/Pathtracing-vs-Raytracing-Benchmarks-Test-Release-1461366/

Let’s take a look at the 4060 with the mandatory ray tracing game Indian Jones.

Indian Jones and the Great Circle 1080p - 25.2 average with 18 at 1% lows.

Yeah, the 4060 is going to provide such a great ray tracing experience to the average gamer…

Edit: Because I can’t be bothered with a proper reply, It’s amazing that pointing out a 2060 running on low is being used as a justification that ray tracing is ready for prime time.
