Seriously, I mostly just play indie games because AAA games tend to be shallow and boring and cheaper gpus do me just fine.

Yeah, I’ve decided to just use a steamdeck. If it won’t run on the steamdeck then fuck it.

Although, I do want to get a gpu for ai audio transcription.

My trusty GTX 970 was doing almost everything I needed it to do (the only bummer being it couldn't run HellDivers2 smoothly) but it died this week. The B580 was available at MSRP so I jumped on it. It is at least twice as powerful as what I used to have so I'm confident I won't find it under powered for anything I'll throw at it for the next 5 years.

Playing in 4K with raytracing is just not worth paying an extra $700+ to scalpers and price gougers for. I bet you stop noticing the difference after 5 minutes of gameplay.
