My question is why would you buy a graphics card to play games at around 40 fps?

maybe they play on a 15" monitor

A lot of people don't mind going to medium settings or just playing at 30/40fps. I was thrilled at my 6600gt playing Doom at 45fps 1280x1024 back in the day.

Not even my 8800GTS 512MB could run Crysis at anything near 60FPS at 1680X1050 with settings turned up:

There's like, almost 80,000,000 PS4's and XB1's out there, where the large majority of AAA games run at 30fps. Clearly this doesn't bother everybody as much as it does some of us.

PC gamers really seem way out of touch sometimes.

Yeah I know I had the 320mb one and it was on it's knees.

But for some reason it still felt smooth below 60FPS,and it makes me wonder if Crytek had considered latency being as important a metric as framerates.

Having said that,I never spent so much on PCs as I did around the time of Crysis. That game was hyped but it was such a jump in graphics.

Hey guys, why are there poor people in the world when they could be rich?

Wow! That comment wasn't elitist in the slightest

 

[Jumper118]

why would you buy only one titan xp when 2 are almost twice as fast? peasants.

 

[Boomstick777]

Just buy the 1050.

^^

GTX 1050 is a better buy at this price, the RX 470 pwns the GTX 1050 Ti at a bit higher price point though.

I agree ... averages of 60 to 80 fps I consider good the odd dip to 30 doesn't bother me.
Currently distinctively mid range cards have minimums of high 50's on ultra at 1080p, there seems no reason to buy a high end card unless gaming at higher resolutions.

Minimums much below 30fps in high action scenes do spoil the game experience though.

I guess consoles can consistently pump out 30fps though an no higher, which whilst no great, isn't a game ruiner.
