Gaming used to not be like that, but now a good GPU alone costs 800 to 2500 bucks. Sure you get away with cheaper components but at what cost, you got to be patient gamer to enjoy this endeavor.
my gpu is 8 years old, and it runs everything perfectly. I've never had any issues with high quality shaders in Minecraft, and i have a million mods in Teardown and i don't really see it lag unless im testing my PCs limits lol
i really really don't think you need to spend nearly that much money to enjoy video games
The Main Reason I became an Indie Gamer.
It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that it isn't worth it for me.
Bought a 4070 super for 600. They have come down a lot
You just should play different games.
For example ping pong runs on integrated gpus.
My 15 years old i5 750 upgraded with a 1060 can play almost anything. You could literally play great free games for the next 10 years on it without spending a dime. Maybe some gamers are doing too much? There's no need to upgrade your pc every years to get 2 more fps...
