Well now it's not used anymore so it still counts imo.
I love how unknown projects move to modern toolkits and GIMP just moved to an almost 15 years old one.
And yes I do know that GTK4 absolutely sucks for feature-rich applications.
That is actually so good.
I think there are a lot of things with that name.
Well I'm pretty sure it'll still be better than my 3050 and I mostly focused on the kinds of games I play when doing my research. I can only think of one game I play that may be considered CPU-intensive which is BeamNG.Drive but there are settings in it which can bring literally any GPU to a crawl if needed.
Meh I basically only play AAA games on this system. I have a separate machine for work and that kind of things.
Ok I'm pretty sure supporting such argument will get me banned for a few days but whatever. If you're so sure that there are better deals in my country, suggest me some options and I'll check them again.
Lemmy people seem to have the issue of completely forgetting the original topic. I noticed this earlier when asking about mouse compatibility on Linux and people started recommending mice for almost the price of a new PS5. I was asking about the potential bottleneck. I already did my research beforehand and confirmed that 3080 is indeed good value and suitable for my needs.
Meanwhile there are newer GPUs that will also render 1080p games with the same performance for less money
Like 5060 Ti for 1.5x the price and 20% less performance? Nah I don't think so. I think I know prices in my own country better ngl.
From quite an extensive research I did, I can surely say all of your points are wrong.
3080 is an overkill for 1080p but over time games get more intensive so it becomes only more of a viable option. Limited VRAM works against it but for now it's still fine in most titles unless you go 4k.
3080 made total sense. It had enough VRAM at the time and now is even considered one of the best NVidia GPUs ever made by some people. NVidia could make it more future proof but wouldn't it attract miners?
Prices depend on the area but I haven't seen one where anything beats the 3080 for the price. 6900 XT can beat it in some titles but it's actually slightly slower on average (if I'm not mistaken). And obviously the AMD card has way inferior productivity features.
Watch Dogs mentioned!
Btw the sequel is very enjoyable too though a bit heavy.
Parawhat?
