Odyssey - what's the point?

[Deleted member 182079]

I have an i7 11700, 32gb ram, with an RTX 3060... which after a quick google search, I just realized is currently the latest generation. For some reason, I was thinking the 4000 series RTX had already been released.

Pardon me for a second...



Well... it looks like I'll be able to keep this computer for at least 10 years, rather than my anticipated seven.

Lol In comparison to that mine is a potato then!

I think the performance issues for CP2077 were on consoles. I didn't have issue with that on pc, and I don't think I heard anybody complaining about it.
Other bugs, yes, but performance were OK. On PC.

I had a few graphical issues myself, but my old computer was seven years old, and it was below recommended specs.

LOL. Yeah. Here I was thinking I was saving a bit of money by going "back one generation," and I accidentally splurged on the latest and greatest. Though looking at online prices, I think I actually got a pretty good price at $600. I'm seeing it selling for nearly $1200 on some sites!

Let's just say if I tried to buy a PC with your spec I'd be looking at the equivalent of a small second hand car or thereabouts. But I'm fine with mine, it runs everything at max or nearly max settings at 2k60 which is good enough for me - notable exception being EDO of course.

Out of interest, what is your spec? Am on an i7 9700 with an RTX2060s, so not top of the range even when I bought it, it was an off-the-shelf thing because it worked out fine for me for reasons I won't go into further, and as you say going even just one level up would've cost me at least 500-700 Euros on top, which I didn't consider worth the incremental improvements. Whenever the GPU market returns to a more sensible level again I'll just upgrade but I'm really fine with all my other games' performance - EDO is the only one that runs like a dog. It's clearly the game, not my hardware, and my understanding is, for reasons you already mentioned, rather limited when it comes to hardware combinations. Welcome to PC gaming since inception - and other games including the trainwreck-on-release CP2077 actual ran pretty well on my machine.

As you said, if there ain't smoke coming out of your pc your better off waiting. The market is crazy, I've seen a major local chain sell 3090 for €3000, and 3080 upwards of €2000.

They got great reviews on the assumption they would cost €800, which is still a huge wad of cash. But this is just silly. For this money Zi can hire an artist to paint each frame for me.

I work retail, and as I often tell my customers, when they ask me if I consider any of the computers we sell is a "good computer," I tell them "I'm a bad person to ask that question of. My graphics card costs more than that one, and it has more RAM as well." This is as true of my old computer as it is my new one. I've found that $2500 worth of computer will last me about seven years, if I'm willing to shop around for components.

I really ought to reinstall Cyberpunk 2077. I kind of lost interest in the game after a couple of months for some reason I don't recall.

Could have been a driver issue ? I had to update mine, otherwise I had tree visible through terrain and wall, kind of stuff.
Didn't have issues of that game afterward.

??? Are you perhaps replying to another post? I'm not sure what this has to do with what I wrote.
