nvidia should have done a deal with Steam. At least Steam could check you're an active gamer. That might have helped. other than the small % of hard core gamers that dont use steam.
Yah, lets be real, maybe most people buying these cards are scalpers, listing them on that site you spoke about, to try and make 200 quid or whatever....bit sad really.
I suppose for those people playing old games that want to play at 4k with low textures and high framerates? No card can play modern games at 4k and at 120hz anyway! No at decent settings.
120 fps max settings is very demanding on some games, you might need to turn of AA on RDR2.
I'm now playing CODMW at 120fps max settings, Doom External 120+fps max settings (and looking to push it to 120fps 8k). All the previous CODs, Far Crys, Batmans, MK,.... all run at 120+fps and they are not too old.
Tbh 1080p is just fine, but once you play in 4K you might struggle to go back to 1080p.
Also VR gamers like the bigger cards for the Quest 2. There is also that Virtual Reality, Pimax Vision 8K X VR Headset that sounds like pur overkill.
