The average vocal PC gamer also tends to have the top of the line components, so I just tend to think it’s not the gaming part that makes them entitled little assholes; it’s being rich.
Very true. I vaguely recall someone on another thread saying a game is “unplayable” if it’s not running 4k resolution and that PC gamers with 4k monitors are the majority
I regularly hear similar things about refresh rates, like “once you try a 144hz monitor you can’t go back” — meanwhile, I power-limit my GPU to get ~50fps when the summer gets too hot
I some discussion about Nvidia somebody what complaining how they were used to 200 fps at 4K but some graphics cards couldn’t do it with raytracing on without using DLSS.
As somebody else in that thread said, it’s masturbatory fps numbers.
You guys are helping my hardware inferiority complex (caused by the vocal ones always having systems that cost more than a decent used car) a lot! Thanks! 😁
