Currently trying to refund the new Indiana Jones game because it’s unplayable without raytracing cri. My card isn’t even old, it’s just 8GB of VRAM is the absolute minimum apparently so my mobile 3060 is now useless. I miss when I used to be able to play new games in 2014 on my shitty AMD card at 20fps, yeah it didn’t look great but developers still included a very low graphics option for people like me. Now you need to be upgrading every 2 years to keep up.

    duke nukem: that’s a lot of words VRAM. too bad i’m not buyin it.

    seriously, i hate this shit. i have a 1080 ti that i got used several years ago when the market had hit a bit of a lull and it’s got some firmware bug that stops it from running most modern games, even ones it h as enough vram to run. this is why indie games and old games that people are still making mods or private server sets for like cod4 are so great.

      My 1080 kept having performance issues with each update. I had to revert to an older driver in order to get anything to work. Nvidia and whatever game devs blamed each other for the issue, so I haven’t figured out why it was happening.
