gaming What was your first steam game?

CS 1.6 when they were rolling out Steam to deliver patches. Think WON was still a thing. -

PC at home, car when not. -
That would be perfect if I could find a deal on a 1080Ti. Hitting those high refresh rates is tough even with what I got. Shame I can't pick up an tensor/RT board and drop it in alongside. $800/1200 is steep af but for half that I might go in on RT since I already have a GPU. Then again, I always wanted one of those PhysX boards way back when. Fun times.

I'm not surprised in the least. If RT really is the future -- it does looks awesome in action, so I hope it turns out to be more than just a curiosity. Given NVIDIA's push, it might be? That said, it's still a bit early for that. For $1200, dropping below 60fps at only 1080p is pretty weak. That's the early adopter tax along with the "our only competition is Pascal" tax.

Without apples-to-apples benchmarks, we don't know for sure... but you're probably right. Missed out on that $300 GTX 1080 today... sold out before I could even get to the link.

4 to 5 years is a pretty good run imo. 20 years ago, you'd be upgrading your desktop every other year just to keep up. In 4-5 years I'd have gone through two graphics cards anyway so as far as a laptop that lasts that long is concerned, a grand every 5 ain't so bad for something you can carry around.

PC Gamer Perspective: Worst Time To Get Into PC Gaming
Azure Envy replied to a topic in Media Discussion
I'm just amused my 980 Ti is selling for $200 more than I paid for it two years ago. I'd sell it, but... games. -
Happy birthday my friend
