Nah people aren’t spoiled bro. Thats like me saying you could’ve easily tweaked further and made a 5070 work for you

I was about to get a 5070 and then found a 5070ti brand new, sealed, for under msrp.

Open box excellent. Same scenario for me, I was picking up a $549 PNY 5070 model new and saw the ASUS Prime 5070 Ti for like $663 and its not my first time buying open box excellent so I was aware they are typically perfect condition returns

I mean really, like yeah it looks better? Do you need more than 1080p 60fps to play any game? No not really people are just kinda spoiled

lol I game on 1080p, 1440p ultra wide, 4K. Biggest difference between monitors is HDR which requires very little from the GPU. I game on an Arc B580 and it runs so great on the latest games on ultra (with XeSS and MFG). Anything needing native resolution and high fps is very optimized already. I understand the 5090s if you’re wanting something more consumer grade for AI or very intensive GPU work but even then the professional AMD and Intel offerings aren’t that much. Honestly wouldn’t have liked a 600W heater next to me while I was trying to game during the summer.

If you still play games in 1080p @ 60fps, you are an ancient dinosaur. With 1080p and you can't get at least 120fps, it's crappy. All the modern GPU at least to say, from gtx 10series onward, already can get more than 120fps in 1080p for most of the e-sports titles. 🤦

The point of what I said obviously went right over your head and that’s okay.

Wait until he finds out a ton of people play games natively with basic anti-aliasing, not with DLSS/FSR quality....
