  • The GTX 1070 was in the upper tier of gaming GPUs when it was released, categorized as high-end on Wikipedia. Most people wouldn’t be able to justify the cost of its kind of performance until years later, even if the next thing didn’t happen…

    It’s still 9 years old.

    About half that long ago, GPU prices tripled, and prices are still absurdly elevated today even adjusting for high inflation. This has significantly delayed a lot of peoples’ normal upgrade cycles, so your 9-year-old GPU is effectively more like a 4-year-old GPU with respect to affordable upgrade path.

    a) This isn’t Remedy’s fault.
    b) The card is still 9 years old.
    c) You can still play the game with a 9 year old GPU

    Back when that card was new, running a first-person game at 60fps 1080p was mainstream and not particularly impressive. That level of performance is mediocre-to-weak today

    That wasn’t my experience in 2016 when I was rocking an HD 7850, and getting less than 60fps at 1080p for FPS’s in 2016, a card that would have only been 4 years old at the time (and technically worse than what was in the PS4).

    (And by the way, the other GPU they mention is only 5 years old.)

    And about 15 percent more performant than the GTX 1070. With an MSRP about $100 less than it, and it being considered midrange.

    Also, none of that really answers my question: What performance were you hoping that this GPU + CPU combo would give you?

    My point wasn’t that I had a step-by-step comprehensive guide to solve everything from the moment that you read these words, my point was that the analogy of “sins of the father” doesn’t work because 70 percent of the current living electorate looked at fascism and either were completely apathetic to it or actively sought it out. There are very legitimate reasons why Canadians are not going to be fond of Americans now and for some time to come. The threat of annexation is both real and current.


  • remember, after WW2 victims of the Nazi régime were still victimized for being German for decades even though many were children or had zero control over their nation at the time.

    Trump is still in power, right now, at this very moment. If you feel helpless in the face of what’s going on, that’s one thing, but what is being talked about isn’t some bygone era of days past. It’s the literal present.
