Or just move to a a console, the quality might not be the same, but it is way cheaper. This is one of the reasons people by consoles, they are cheaper and the games are optimized for it.
After a while it's not cheaper. 2080ti should already perform at the level or above a PS5 and console games don't get the discounts PC games have plus most indie games aren't even available on console.
And for real you don't need a 1000$ card to game up to date AAA games, a 600-800$ PC can play fine at 1080p
Nah. I don't have a computer to game, but I built my computer to game. Consoles at this point are smart data collection devices that also play games. I wouldn't introduce that into my network at home. I could get a steam deck though...
You can get very acceptable performance for fractions of the price of a scalped 5090.
