    Huh… So an integrated GPU now performs better than my GTX 1060 6GB?

    Considering that I can still play games reasonably comfortably on my 1060 I find it pretty impressive.

    Though… This is likely also writing on the wall for me to upgrade… At some point… Though honestly I dint feel like I’m really being limited by my GPU yet. The 1060 6GB is a pretty legendary card.

      1060 gang represent!

      I was a bit worried because the new FFXIV expansion bought a new graphics engine with it, but if anything it performs even better than the old one.

      If I want to play something with modern graphics, that’s what my PS5 is for. The Talos Principle 2 demo made the 1060 cry, and obviously anything with raytracing is out.

      I think the best thing you can do if you’ve got an older card is make sure you’ve got a GSync/FreeSync/VRR monitor for it, so those bits where it chugs down from 60fps go to a more manageable 40-50fps rather than skipping or tearing frames. I find I don’t mess with graphics settings as much either.

        The only recent game I’ve played that made my GPU cry was cyberpunk. But in the beginning that game was also a mess and now runs pretty decently.

        Thing is with modern day AAA games, considering what unoptimised messes they’re released in, I can’t be sure if the issues are with my card or the game being shite.

        But to be honest… I don’t play that many AAA games anymore. The majority of them are incredibly uninteresting to me, are riddled with live service garbage, or are generally all pretty graphics and no substance.
