    It’s finally happened … my 1070 is finally below minimum requirements for a game I want to play. Guess this will be an Xbox only game for me because I am not paying the insane prices for GPUs.

        Intel’s GPUs are an insane value now that they’ve got a lot of the driver kinks worked out. Some DX11 games still don’t run as well as they would on equivalent Nvidia or AMD hardware, but most newer games are using DX12 or Vulkan nowadays.

          If/when I finally build a PC, Intel Arc is going to be a serious contender for me. They’re looking really good as they continue to support them.

            And they outperform AMD on ray tracing workloads, so I think they will age better as more games start shipping with RT features over the next year.

      I run most of my gaming through GeForce No Can’t afford to replace my 1070 and streaming the games seem to work fine for now.

      Same, for the GPU that is. I don’t have or want an Xbox so I guess I won’t be playing it for a long time. Not that I ever play Bethesda games at launch anyway.
