For a while now games are sold without a lot of optimization, expecting the customers to just buy more powerful hardware.

9060 XT, for the same reason. My GTX1060 is fine for what I'm I playing right now, but I guess I, too, am a victim of F.O.M.O. (Fear Of Massive Overpricing).

But 'AI' is the cool word of the moment! All the AI peddlers say so in their sale pitches!

His mom didn't miss any beer, mmh?

Well it's a phrase for those of "not-PhD" level.

You could also call them moneyfobes, cause they sure like to throw money away for negligible differences in sound quality. I recently had to change my earphones, and it was a real odyssey cause in lots of guides the "low end" started with at least a couple zeros.

And probably a visit from the Avengers.

OT: Is there something going on with sh.itjust.works? I can't see media in this or other similar threads, in others I can. Maybe a federation thing?

I dunno, if only there was an example of why this is bad......

 

European here. I'm pretty content with my setup (Ryzen5 3600XT, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060... I play in 1080p) for the games I'm playing at the moment, and I don't plan on playing many AAAA games in the future. BUT. With the recent tariffs flying around, China denying rare earths, etc etc I fear we might see an increase in hardware prices like we had with covid, so I was thinking on upgrading at least CPU+VGA; more than FOMO let's say is Fear Of Being Overpriced. What do you think, should I upgrade now that things looks a little more relaxed? Will the whole mess involve only the USA or everyone cause globalization?
