2023 was the year that GPUs stood still::A new GPU generation did very little to change the speed you get for your money.

    Hands up if you/someone you know purchased a Steam Deck or other computer handheld, instead of upgrading their GPU 🙋‍♂️

    To be honest I stopped following PC hardware altogether because things were so stagnant outside of Intel’s alder lake and the new x86 P/E cores. GPUs that would give me a noticeable performance uplift from my 1060 aren’t really at appealing prices outside the US either IMO

      It’s diminishing returns.

      We need a giant leap forward to show a noticeable effect now.

      Like, if a cars top speed was 10mph, a 5 mph increase is fucking huge.

      But getting a supercar to top off at 255 instead of 250, just isn’t a huge deal. And you wouldn’t notice unless you were testing it.

      So even if they keep increasing power at a steady rate, the end user is going to notice it less and less everytime.
