He seems like such a cool and down to earth guy. Why can't I find a friend like that?

Video game graphics have not improved significantly in a number of years. Raytracing isn’t taking off. Why even buy a new GPU?

Yeah, seems like the 4090 is still doing the job for everything that isn't an unoptimized piece of shit.

I think the VRAM complaints are more from people doing AI stuff. To do AI generation fast and with good quality, you need insane amounts of VRAM.

That's because games are at their limits already on current hardware. These new cards are a marginal increase and wont change anything in that regard.
