We're already seeing deals on graphics cards for Black Friday, but now is just about the worst time to pick up a current-gen Nvidia graphics card.

4x…? Even in older cards that’s more than a decade between cards.

A 4080 is only 2.5x as powerful as a 1080ti, those are 5 years apart.

What’s wrong with upgrading once every 5-10 years? Not everyone plays the latest games on 4k Ultra

Admittedly 4x is a bit steep, more like 3-4x

Starfield requires a minimum 1070ti to play. It’s not just about fidelity, you just wouldn’t be able to play any newer games.

I had a 1080ti and the only game that really gave me grief playing on high settings was Starfield. I’m not saying older cards won’t have problems playing newer games but I am saying all cards have problems playing Starfield.
