    Don't expect to play everything maxed out

    Nah, my aim has always been smooth/high framerates over "ultra" settings so I don't have worries about that sort of thing. Never been an "eye candy" kind of guy.

    This I didn't know, I thought that textures were the main thing that really made GPUs choke nowadays, given how devs are obsessed with things like 8K textures and whatnot.

    Still, good to see that I didn't buy an useless card for today's gaming, or at least I think so. I run Gundam Battle Operation 2 perfectly fine and stable so far.

  • Recently I've finally built something that I could consider 'decent', 10th gen i5 and 16GB of DDR4 but what aggravates me the most is that I could only attain an RX 570 4GB within my extremely tight budget, how much can I get out of said cards nowadays? Specially given how stupidly high PC game requirements are nowadays. I play at 1080p, not even 2K. I have a dripfeed of an income so it can be very difficult for me to even upgrade a storage device.
