    If you care about refresh rate it matters, not a lot of people can stand 30-40fps with hard drops to single digits just to be able to play a game.

      I’m curious. What game do you think drops to single digits fps on medium settings with a 1080TI?

      I was playing Darktide on a 1060 with minimum 30fps recently, and that game is optimized like absolute trash.

        Starfield.

        1080 is the minimum card, the TI is decently more powerful (30%), but you’ve got to make concessions on medium to get 30fps, and there’s drops.

          To be fair though, that’s a VERY new game and they cared so little about optimizing it that they went out and said “you’re probably going to need a new computer to play this” …

          I hear the 1080ti runs Doom just fine 😛

            Every release means every release, and the requirements aren’t going to get lower. It’s a great card and I know people hate losing it, but it’s on its last legs and likely won’t be able to play new releases at all next year.

            My 1070 handled Doom Eternal just fine with pretty high settings. I’m sure it helps that I only use a single 1080p monitor for games, but it was still pretty enough for me.

            *Edit - I picked up on the sarcasm after posting this reply. Oh well.

          That’s Bethesda’s fault. There is no fucking reason that game can’t run well on a 1080ti for how mediocre it looks.

        Cod MW2/3 are total crapshoots with frame rates, even on a 3080 and set to performance it can still just turn to crap. It seems to run more stable and on higher settings on 2070 laptop. I don’t understand. (I tried to get as much hardware running DMZ as possible for friends and family, lots of machines)
