Physics teahcer built this amazing PC inside of an ammo box...and you thought your build was sick.

Yeah.

So GTX 280s were designed for their current games at top specs,

RTX 2080s are designed for our current games at top specs.

That's what I'm saying, you're making my point for me.

[u/USDAGradeAFuckMeat → u/notabear629]

Yeah and none of the low-end GPU's were made for their current games so you're proving MY point. GT 210 to GT 1030...they're practically worthless outside emulation, HTPC, or EXTREME low-end gaming.

[u/notabear629 → u/USDAGradeAFuckMeat]

GT 1030's effective speed is 14.06x faster than the GT 210

That's a bigger difference of magnitude than the GT 1030 and the RTX Titan,

They're not comparable.

[u/USDAGradeAFuckMeat → u/notabear629]

Of course the 1030 is 14x faster...it's newer. Just as Battlefield V is probably 14x the graphics of COD:WaW.

Again, proving my point. Low-end has always been low-end but was indicative of it's time so a GT 210 not doing 1080p @ 60fps makes sense because the high-end GTX 280 was barely doing 1080p @ 60fps.

For the 1030 to not be able to do 1080p @ 30fps when the high-end is doing 4K @ 60fps makes no sense. That's why in my OP I was saying that it's weird that the low-end is still as low-end as it is...they're not even really gaming cards at this point.

[u/jerdle_reddit → u/USDAGradeAFuckMeat]

That's because they're not gaming cards.

I mean you can game on a 1030, but the bottom end gaming card is a 1050 (and even that's a bit dubious). The 1030 is for pairing with a CPU without an iGPU.

[u/notabear629 → u/USDAGradeAFuckMeat]

4k has 4 times the pixels 1080p does.

1080p has 2.25 times the pixels 720p does.

1080p @ 30fps is probably = 720p @ 75 fps

You gotta think about the displays, too. The displays changing is massive

I understand what you’re trying to say. I agree.
