      Ehhh 2k 21:9 makes most 30-series GPUs choke. It’s straight up 2.5x the amount of pixels vs a 1080p 16:9. Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable until you get past the VRAM wall. 8GB VRAM cards are dead in the water at this point, despite the insistence of Reddit.

      4070ti super has been serving me very well to brute force those poorly optimized titles

      I think I’m still using a 1080 or somewhere around there and the only thing it’s choked on was the space Marine game. Like everything else I enjoy it’s done quite well with.

          The only reason I want to freshen up is because when I built my comp over a decade ago I used, what was sufficient at the time, a too small default memory card for the computer to boot from and now it’s struggling to not choke itself on its own bloat. Not mentioning since my last expedition overseas when I shut down the system for a long time the file explorer has become buggy and slow.

          I’m torn between saying fuck it and finally build a new system with more modern parts or trying to keep what I got and try to continually fix it because I can’t be fucked to deal with trying to work with redownloading windows 10 on a new system and having it try to force me to use version 11. Oh the banality of being a tech barbarian.
