I've been interested in it because of promises of eliminating screen
tearing when watching videos. I don't know if that's been implemented
yet though.
When I want to eliminate screen tearing in any situation, I take out
the nVidia and put in a Radeon.
The GPU companies have been living the thug life for years. First, price
increase was blamed on bitcoin, then the pandemic, then
shipping/boat-stuck-in-canal... it all seems a little too convenient to argue a
300% price increase is still due to any one/all of these.
Luckily (or un-luckily?) I have a 1050ti that I bought before prices went ham.
A 1070ti (released in 2017!) refurb is still going for well over $500 on Newegg
ffs...
It doesn't look like I'll be upgrading anytime soon. I'll stick to Minecraft
and Dosbox before I pay those prices. Given the famous Linus quote pertaining
to his thougts on Nvidia, I'm open to exploring other options.
Any suggestions for a Radeon upgrade from a 1050ti? Is RTX only an Nvidia
thing? I quit following the GPU trade rags when pricing went ham because I got
tired of reading the excuses.
