My first thought as well. Like what kind of PC gamer are you to make good use of such a card? Play CS2 and LoL only and then at 1080p or something? I don't get itWhats the legit use case for these?
Yeah, it's too bad no one wants to make a cheap gpu that's only powered by the PCIe slot. I have an old office PC sitting on my bench that I'd put a 5050 in if it was lower power.
I'm chillChill out.
That's exactly what I mean. This card exists strictly for iBUYPOWER to rip people off with it.It's really for OEMs who want to hit a specific price point. That's why I mentioned IGP killer...

I think the leading 3 and 4 make it less bad. At least they don't think they're getting the newest generation stuff. Which yeah I know, technically or whatever. But cmon. Everyone knows this is where the majority of these cards will go. At a higher ratio than the upper trims.It's better than an IGP...
Dell, btw, offers these options currently in their "Dell Tower Plus"
3050 6 GB (+ $200)
4060 (+ $350)
4060 Ti 8 GB (+ $450)
5070 (+ $550)
5080 (+ $1050)
I mean, you could demand that they only offer the 5070 and 5080... but they aren't gonna do that.
Damn, that's the kind of card I'd buy just to have a dedicated gpu and a hdmi output on the htpc I used to build for myself and for family for like 100$ CAD. Crazy times.
Can this gpu run crysis at 4k120?
Just get a 3060. The 12GB can be had for a reasonable price.My first thought as well. Like what kind of PC gamer are you to make good use of such a card? Play CS2 and LoL only and then at 1080p or something? I don't get it
mfg x4 + lssx4 easily .Can this gpu run crysis at 4k120?
Pretty much the norm now.slower than 4060

the problem is that there aren't many "PC game devs"PC game devs need to accept that they have to make games that work well with 8 GB of VRAM for the foreseeable future. It is not going away anytime soon if ever
AMD the only one trying that shit, and right now their performance isn't as good as it could be. performance is equivalent to a 6500xt which is a bad card putting it lightly, esp considering what they came up with on ps5 pro comparativelyWe really need gaming APU's to fix this mess. If they were like $100 more than the equivalent 8-core with small graphics, it could fill this huge gap in the budget range. Plus it could be on integrated boards and get prices a little cheaper, even.
The consoles have 12-16 GB of RAM which is shared for all uses thoughthe problem is that there aren't many "PC game devs"
They develop for consoles as the baseline and scale up (or down) appropriately
If the majority of PC cards are running 8gb and consoles are running 12-16 gb, the game will just run like shit.
We should have dumped 8gb of VRAM years ago, Nvidia just keeps it around like a diseased dog for reasons instead of taking it out back

Yeah, 5050 8GB should be a $200/€200 card, period.It doesn't bother me that the 5050 exists, something like this should exist, it bothers me that it's $250.
I know GAF isn't a fan of the second hand market but I can (and already have) get a RTX 2080Ti for around the same price and get a 2080 Super for cheaper.
The market prices are just terrible right now.
