I find it hard to imagine I’ll ever live in an apartment where I won’t make space for a desktop.

But my experience with cloud gaming on EC2 has been pretty great too, as I’m getting older I feel less and less inclined to shell out for a new video card every two years.

As long as you are fine with 1080p cards from 5+ years ago are fun. 4k is generally not worth it.

1440 @ higher refresh than 60 and 4k@60 is very well worth it these days. especially on a nice LG OLED with gsync ;)'

HDR is pretty sweet, too.

HN is horrible for gaming/pc building advice. much better places.

Thats what I have and a 1070 is still find for most games.

I've tried 1440p @ 144 hz and 4K @ 60 hz, and I'll take the 144 hz any day.

Absolutely. I come here for my tech news and discussion, but gaming? No way.
