Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 - Lemmy.World

Well I am shocked, SHOCKED I say! Well, not that shocked.

When did it just become expected that everybody would upgrade GPU’s every year and that’s suppose to be normal? I don’t understand people upgraded phones every year either. Both of those things are high cost for minimal gains between years. You really need 3+ years for any meaningful gains. Especially over the last few years.
Sticking with 1440p on desktop has gone very well for me. 2160p isn’t worth the costs in money or perf.
