Unplayable. Sure.

Dips to 50 fps in one or two games, most of the time he has a solid 60fps or higher.

Slight changes to settings would bring him better FPS.

Are you seriously trying to claim that 50fps is unplayable? If you are you're grossly exaggerating.

if you enjoy 50fps buy a console.

Way to ignore most of my post.

You've cherry picked one or two (temporary) stats in a video just so you can play the elitist card over 50fps?

Pretty childish for a supposed 34 year old.

I think he fails to see the point that at 60 fps even the old 580 is almost indistinguishable from a card that costs neearly 3 times as much.
The 2060 is obviously faster but if you play with vsync on then no one would tell the difference in most games at 1080P.

Get some standards seriously.

I suppose it's different when your mum buys your hardware.

Yes 400 is a monumental sum when you spend all your money on ur pointless cars.
He wants to play in 1440p the 580 cant even handle 1080p and u reccomend that, really smart.
The OP obviously made the smart choice of purchasing modern card, not some ancient pos.

Your reading comprehension is dire.

He never recommended the RX580 in this thread, he questioned whether it might be a better option for him on a personal level. You then jumped in and made a ridiculous claim that the RX580 was utterly incapable at 1080P (twice now) despite all evidence proving you wrong. When called out you took a hissy fit and claimed other people didn't have standards, playing the elitist.

You're acting like an arrogant child.

I suspect he sees whatever it is he wants to see judging from the way he acts.

50fps is perfectly playable ?

There are other games besides Red Dead Redemption 2.

Are you a 12 year old? There are a number of reasons why some of us prefer to game on a PC as opposed to a console and an ultra high framerate is way down the list of my priorities

oldbanana said:

Your standards are clearly based on how new a game is and it's framerate. Some of us are still playing slightly older games which fly on an RX580 and I appreciate things like gameplay, story, deph of charactor, originality, creativity, replayability. Those are my standards.

I wasn't even part of this discussion but I felt I had to air my feelings due to the rudeness and apparent snobbishness towards people who cant afford an expensive GPU or have other priorities like family.

I play on a 144hz monitor and to me personally, 50fps feels like a PowerPoint slideshow presentation. Red dead 2 default setting, 40-70fps felt unplayable. Basically it's subjective and what you're used to, but even with freesync and LFC on I can't get used to that range of fps.

I think we all agree that 50 FPS isn't very playable and completely unacceptable to me also. But there are other games. I recently played through Battlefield 4 and that would have an amazing framerate on an RX580.

Also, to keep this in perspective the OP is asking for a card to run on a PC with a 4770k, so this is a PC with hardware from around 2013. So ramming a £400 GPU in it won't necessarily be the best option.

For me, I'd be putting some of that money towards a newer platform, than just getting the best GPU I can afford.

KungFuSpaghetti · 13 Jan 2020 at 10:18

Shouldn't matter as much being on an old platform if running 1440p, unless of course he wants high refresh rate gaming I guess.

Just pick whatever fits your budget, and check if going up to the next card makes sense for you, I dont really see the point in buying anything slower than the 2060S at this point.

2060S is ~300
2070S is ~500
2080S is ~700

a 2070S is £400 not £500

Well, if it's not got a high refresh rate, it's totally unplayable.

That's down to personal perspective, not everyone feels the same, some are happy playing 30fps.

no thanks, I went with the 'skip to the end' option after 90% of the thread was taken up with child like bickering

Fair enough on the bickering part, but that being the case maybe not give input?

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you (as the thread proves..) lol.
