Which GPU do you think is going to be the next "cheap console killer"? My money's on it being the 4050 Ti

GPU sales will go down hard with the rising inflation, most people prefer food over gayming
predicting this as well, prices need to return to pre-pandemic when a GT730 would cost 45 € and a 1050 would cost 95 €
you're asking for too much
$95 back then is not even $95 now
the same product has been on the warehouse for 2 years and now costs 220 €, whos greedy here?
Inflation, moron. It now costs to pay more for employees, pay more for parts and pay more for resources. All economies are tied to the energy market. If energy market goes up in price, so does the rest of it.
Oil prices are double what they were 2 years ago, so everything is or will double in price.
Crazy how profit for these companies keeps going up but for some reason it's inflation doing it and not raising the profit margins.
So much this. I remembered in 2019 when the companies were ideal communist man working for the greater good. Then george floyd died for our sins and now the hekin corporation run by biyyonaies suddenly got greedy because of climate change and people not masking.
holy fricking shit
Damn
Your predictions are dogshit. Card prices will stablize back to MSRP, but they aren't necessarily "going down". It will be MSRP+inflation fee, and you will all starve.
Sub 100$ cards are dead. Inflation killed it. Just the aluminum heatsink alone would cost 50$
More like hoping. Reality is they wont, consumer demand will be high for new gpu's as ever so prices will be sky high.
Chip and silicon shortages are still rife so thats another factor
I bet sales will go up especially on the lower end units. If people can't afford entertainment outside of their homes, stay and play it is.
More likely sales will go up on lower end cards. Also GPUs have already hit peak inflation and come back down again.
>upper end of the GTX 10-series is still viable for 90% of usecases
>upper end of the RX 5-series is still viable for 90% of usecases
>the entire 20-series (incl. 16x) and Navi 1 are still good for 99% of usecases
Contemporary graphics cards are a needlessly complex luxury whose sole purpose is to make people spend money when they don't need to.
yeah i still use a 1060 6gb and it runs everything fine except new AAA games but who cares
Stop playing games and get a job.
But I already have a job.
This isn't /b/ or /misc/. Most users here have a job because technology costs money. It's mostly a white man's game.
>Most users here have a job because technology costs money
Not when you spend all day installing FOSS operating systems and software on a 10 year old plastic Thinkpad.
RTX 4060. 4050ti will be just on par.
4050 ~ 2060
4050 Ti ~ 2070 Super
4060 ~ 3070
4060 Ti ~ 3080
4070 ~ 3090
4080 and above > 3090 Ti
I pulled these estimates out of my ass so please tell me if they're unrealistic
It'll be an AMD card because nvidias power requirements are ridiculous
Cheap console killer requires an MSRP of 250 max and that will never happen ever again.
That's a massive overkill.
For those who don't know, "next gen" consoles have 0GB of low latency system RAM so they emulate it on high latency GPU vRAM. Hilarity ensues and is the main reason why dynamic resolution is heavily used now (ie 1080p being upscaled to 4K).
That chart is bullshit, the devs can easily... optimize for ps5... uh oh
DMC5 isn't a next gen game, try fs2020
Next gen APUs will be amazing.
What was the last "cheap console killer" anyway? RX 480?
>next "cheap console killer"?
Never
PC market isn't interested in "converting" people from consoles.
It's all about extracting as much as possible from existing enthusiast paypigs.
The GTX 550 TI/650 TI
Was possibly the last time capable low end cards was released in a timely manner.
They enabled ~$500 gaming PCs to be put together and that was a unbeatable hell of a deal considering the capabilities while also not paying subscriptions or overpaying for games.
Nah, 4050 Ti is just going to be a 2070 Super. Not strong enough "kill consoles." It would be the 4060 if it wasn't for the gimped 8GB VRAM that it's currently predicted to have, so I'm going to have to say RX 7600 XT 10/12GB, but then again nobody buys AMD so that's not happening either.
Wait for RTX 5050 Ti.
6900xt and 6800xt where cheap new and cost less than a scalped ps5 or xbox series x
AMD fricking lied and it's going to kill my 2700x. They said only select Ryzen 3000 and 5000's would be able to resizable bar but mine works in a x570 and resizable bar. Ironically I only get 3.0 x8
