I'm certain you can build a $15K USD computer, I bet Linus Tech Tips does it regularly, but idk who tf is doing that when an nVidia 3090Ti is only $1080 and is ranked #23 on PassMark.
Why are you considering buying a 3090 Ti for $1080??? It's an old card and shouldn't be near that amount when you can get better performance for less money out of a 9070 xt or 5070 ti.
It's an old #23rd best card in the world, complete without the faulty newer nVidia cables and sockets, but yeah theres no way people need to spend $15k.
I have a 3080ti and its even less, and I'm still on max settings in every game at 1440p.
I actually went with a 3080 that had more VRAM than the Ti version at the cost of slightly lower performance, but this unintentionally crashes some games and applications which are not made to handle more than the 4GB memory limit in some 32 bit softwares. It's too powerful lmao. Someday we're going to encounter a similar issue when cards regularly reach up to 64GB VRAM.
There is a program that fixes that iirc, I used it for New Vegas. Somebody here will know what it's called.
ENBoost?
If it wasn't for Slyrim and thousands of mods, I would agree with you😅
Minecraft would also like a word!
It's been a while since I played modded Minecraft, but absolutely!
I've got a modpack that graphically overhauls literally everything and Skyrim runs fine. It came out over a decade ago and made on the same engine as FO:3, it's probably hitting the upper limits of its resource requirements if it hasn't already.
Ever try Lorerim?
I built my friend a cheap gaming PC. If your target is 60fps 1080 its dirt cheap. The 3060 still handles modern titles and its a few hundred. Amd and Intel also have great budget offerings. 9060 and b580 are great cards.
Yes, and if you're genuinely spending $15,000 on a rig you are not competing with a goddamn Playstation; at that point you're either mixing it with low end datacenters or you've now got a ziggurat of monitors on your desk that could backdrop a Daft Punk concert. I just built a pretty much top of the line (AMD based, mind you) machine a few months ago for under $3000. I could have gotten away with less, but I didn't feel like it.
I suspect that many morons with nothing but decades-old experience, if even any to begin with, still have no comprehension of just how cheap computers are.
