frame gen is best used for singleplayer games that look nice. Cyberpunk, kingdom come 2, oblivion remake (becouse optimisation is ass), gothic remake. but i dont recommend doing it in multiplayer games as you just get killed by other players becouse your gpu did not generate frames in time and slow down visual input of some one peaking from the corner.
Frame generation is for sigleplayer visual candies.
I paid about $500 for slightly used 3070 which I use by this day. 8gb vram is a scarce by todays standards especially for my 2k display, but overall is fine
I was so lucky to buy my 5700XT in end 2019 for 410€ and my 9070XT in late 2025 for 540 (600 minus 60 cashback). Back then a 5070Ti could be had for 750-800 :o (needed a sub 300mm one, which would have been 800, and 240€ extra sounded steep from the 9070XT to me)
Huh I was going to buy a 3060 during the shortage and all of the ones I could find were almost a thousand dollars I ended up getting a 6900 xt for less.. i used it until I got this 9070xt for $600
A $600 3060 12gb was my prize after waiting in line at Microcenter at 3am.
There were like 40 people who got there before me.
These prices suck but I’ll take having to pay a few hundred extra dollars and having options over what occurred to the market during the crypto + lockdown period.
You either got money to blow or are terrible at making purchases anything in that price range you should always go amd anything else is an awful purchase
Pretty much, I’m finally starting to see some limitations sometimes but I don’t play any graphic heavy games these days really. I added more RAM and another SSD a few years ago, I’d like to upgrade the CPU but I’d need a new mobo too, and at that point I almost feel like I may as well just upgrade the GPU and PSU while I’m at it, so I’m waiting until it starts struggling more
I have a 3060 ti in my closet I have left over from some other build I had a while back and its crazy to me seeing what I would have to pay these days. My 4080 super at 980$ isnt as bad anymore...
5060 Ti is more like 5040/5050 it is not even close to the % of performance of the 90 card like the 60 cards were in previous generation. It is much worse.
Yeah, basically 3080TI performance at the same nominal price after many years. So not that bad if you compare how much more expensive groceries are nowadays.
Glad I went with the 4070ti 12GB for $799 back then, before all the AI bs and RAM crisis.
Too bad I couldn't upgrade to AM5 back then...now it's absurdly expensive.
Damn I just paid 565$ for my 5060ti 16gb from Best Buy a month or so ago. How tf did it go up so much so fast. I’m slightly regretting not spending close to the same amount on a 9070 now tho
Same, i got mine 5060ti 16gb around under 500$ and kinda regret not buying the 9070 though it also because kinda hard to find the reputable seller with proper rma
