    Yes the crux of the issue is that it’s currently a bad time to buy PCs and a great time to buy consoles.

    If you have $200 or less you can probably get something that supercedes my 2070 by quite a bit today and have a few bucks left over.

    I think your issue is that you’re more than a little out of touch with reality. You can’t even get a 2070 for $200 or less, how would you get something better lmao.

    If a 960 can run TLOU and hogwarts legacy

    A 960 only satisfies the minimum requirements for Hogwarts Legacy and it doesn’t even meet the minimum requirements for TLOUP2. So the “modern came that came out you don’t know about” came out 4 years ago my dude.

    The way to fix the performance of a 1660 ti is to replace it with a better card, that will cost hundreds of dollars. Or I can just buy the same games in the PS5 that will run them flawlessly and continue to do so for a number of years with the money I already spent. Once again it’s a no brainer.

      I’m exemplifying an old card (960) that run much newer games well because you just didn’t elaborate how your 1660 is so bad. I don’t see how any game woudn’t run on it that soon.

      And cards are not that expensive anymore. At least not here. A sub-$200 card can definetly be had that supercedes a 2070. I Google it and found it on stock.

      But if you think its just not worth it, then it isn’t really for you I suppose.

        But it doesn’t run much newer games well at all. You listed two games as examples and one of them it doesn’t even meet the minimum requirements. The other one it barely meets. You’ve literally proved yourself wrong. The current recommendation for VRAM when playing modern games has been 8gb for a couple years now and it’s trending more towards 12gb now. The 1660ti only has 6. The card is just lacking, there’s nothing to be fixed.

        And cards are not that expensive anymore. At least not here. A sub-$200 card can definitely be had that supercedes a 2070.

        They are still very expensive here in the US, and they don’t drop much in price after they age. If I go on Newegg right now and filter GPUs to $200 or less the best Nvidia card on offer is a 3050. A generation newer but two models below the 2070. You’re just making things up to prove your point but everything you say is just verifiably false lol. It’s like you’ve been thawed out of a block of ice after being frozen for 6 years and you’re not adapting well to your new reality.

        And yes, it’s objectively not worth it unless you specifically want a gaming PC. If you’re in a position where you’re comparing a gaming PC and a console though, dollar for dollar, console wins. It’s just basic math, I don’t get what’s it’s so hard for you to understand.
