I recently had the opportunity to play the video game The Finals on a very good computer with a 2070 or something along the line (and it was a bit laggy on medium 1080p)
I’ve always wanted to play this game when I saw the promotion material. On top of being interesting and good looking, it’s actually really really fun.
However, after finishing my second quickplay, I got hit really hard by the fact that I would never be able to play such a game on decent quality 60fps. I guess it’s not really about The Finals… But since good gpus aren’t on the way to become affordable and I hear about some shortages of materials, I guess I have to say byebye to this.
PS: I could put Helldivers 2 here maybe also but I’m not sure
If you want to rant about GPU prices, why randomly call out one/two specific games? Not like it doesn’t apply to any other modern release. I don’t get this post
Also I looked up some benchmarks and you can get 60FPS on medium with an RX 6600 (about 200 USD curently in the US) in both finals & helldivers. Could possibly get away with a cheaper card on Low settings
It’s a rant, kinda like a “offmychest” post if you want. And I’m “calling out” these games because they where really fun imo, and I am a bit sad knowing there is a very low chance I’ll get to experience them at peak player count.
