I have my balanced cable that I used for my e5000 (before I returned it), so I have a bit more source flexibility.

I got a 5700xt for sub $100 and I’m just going to use that, I’m still catching up on titles from 2016 or so. I started playing Guacamelee which I love, and it doesn’t even need a GPU in its requirements 
I have to say, if Titanfall2 at 1440p ultra settings, @ 90FPS (current card, not the 5700xt which is even better) is old graphics… I can’t imagine where games have reached for immersion/realism. Must be mindblowing. I hope the gameplay is keeping up…

I’m here to tell you the graphical fidelity will plateau soon but the gameplay has already reached that lol
Yeah I think I’m gonna just keep my 5700xt until the next releases, I tried reaching for that 4080 super but Lady Luck definitely gave me a warning shot lmao

That’s what I was going to say; we’ve hit such a level of diminishing returns with current gen (and even last-gen) rendering that artstyles, specific lighting engines and things like VR are basically the only routes to make something more immersive, at least until we find a way to go neural or haptic at scale.
Edit: here’s an image showing both the classic example of diminishing returns in resolution, but also how important actual meshes and use of models are.

I’ll try my best to hold out until like next gen GPU release but I’m not hopeful I’ll last that long
Like you said there’s not much left to push and I’m sure I won’t care much for it tbh. I wish I could see how AMDs next gen GPU will handle raytracing already lol

Just got an LG 34GN850-B IPS widescreen 34" monitor at Walmart for $329 and it’s amazing. Also here in Tampa mail resumed so I got a Soundblaster AE-9 and Topping A70Pro today. Going to try out all the different modes, but it’s so much better than going to two monitors for working on documents side by side.
