    So you don’t realize how going from 400 to 120 might impact you if you start at say 150 instead? It’s still a massive performance hit. If Ray tracing is an essential feature to you, have at it, I just personally never cared so much about lighting that it was the sole or even main reason for getting a card.

    My brother you’re paying for features, yes, including ones you may not want or use. Nvidia is charging you for shadowplay in the cost of the card, AMD just includes a nameless feature to do the exact same thing in the settings. Everything you’re using has an AMD comparison or a FOSS alternative. You are not limited by the hardware, you just like the convience of Nvidia streamlining it but you should at least be aware and honest about that.

    You’re willing to pay extra for them to make you a nice dinner but most people cook their own food because they can’t afford to eat out every night. Yeah your burger isn’t going to be as good as they can make it but you’re getting a solid alternative for less. AMD gives you the best value, Nvidia gives you cutting edge, and if AMD keep making power moves like threadripper that might not always be the case.

      Shut the fuck up about FOSS. Lemmy users are insufferable.

      Enjoy your generation behind AMD card with less features for a few bucks less. I’ll keep my Nvidia card that’s generations ahead for a bit more money. Thanks.
