Wondering what the people that were advising to wait for 50 series when 40s came out because nvidia hates even numbers and made the 40ies bad are thinking now.

40ies

I can't help but read this as "forty-ies" instead of "forties" 😂

I intentionally read 100s as "one hundreds" after I first noticed it many years ago. It bugs me, but I can't stop now.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No, that's the correct reading.

[–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

100s is 100 seconds

They could just buy 40's now? They are probably a little cheaper now as well?

I’m glad I went ahead and bought a 4080S a few months ago.

Don't worry it makes up for it in fake frames..

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

...That are built into the generation pipeline in a way that pads numbers instead of augmenting real frames. It's dogshit.

no shit, it's a $1600 card vs a $1000 one

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So for someone who has a 2080ti, should I go with a 50 series card? If so, would anyone have a recommendation? I don’t need it right away by any means, as I’ll need to save up for an upgrade if I even can. I just know that I will need to replace it as newer games come out.

Always depends on what you're doing with that computer. Is your current gamin experience satisfying? Stay with your current setup. If you don't need it, don't buy it.

I'm still rocking a 1060. I need to at least get a 2080ti or 3060ti
