I understand the run on the new consoles but..

Those new systems are cool and all, but are they Atari 2600 cool...?

 

you’re oblivious. The 3000 series has not made any 20 series a relic.

 

Maybe for iRacing it's not

Not for anything on the planet. Flight sim and Assasins Creed were the only two games on your "obsolete" list to not hit 60fps in 4K. 99% of the 4K monitors on the planet only run at 60hz. You're spouting bullshit and misinformation to people who may be looking to get into PC gaming.

 

Hey asshole, I originally posted about VR.
You claimed that a 1000 series will do just fine.
It will at the lowest setting if you want a shitty VR experience.
Anyone that has been able to get a 3000 series that actually runs VR has raved about the difference in performance over 2080's.

 

Vegans of Gaming

 

Hahahahaha spot on.

but for real PC master race.

 

I still have mine and it still works. Even the original joysticks.

Funny how I can play those games for hours, but get fucking bored on ps3 games after 30 min.

New games care more about graphics than game play.

 

I wish I still had mine. I mowed many lawns to earn the money for my 2600 and all the games I had. I might have to get one of the reproductions that’s already loaded with a bunch of games.

 

I built one of these for my wife when the Nintendo classic was first released but was sold out:

All in was about $80 and that includes multiple wireless controllers. Have around 100 atari, Nintendo, super Nintendo and Sega genesis games and it's a blast

 

That's awesome!

I remember when I was a kid I thought the games were supposed to look graphically like the artwork on the cartridge box. When you actually got it home it was quite different.

 

I for one am happy Mega Man did NOT look like the box art.

 

I have one of those raspberry pi emulators as well and after having access to the entire catalogue of titles for all those early systems, the one take away I have is that an overwhelming majority of the games are garbage/borderline unplayable. The blockbuster titles on the other hand are still solid after 100's of replays.

 

So much this. I got my roms from https://m.emuparadise.me/ and looking at all the garbage titles made me realize just how much nostalgia can make you remember the good and forget all the terrible

 

that's why I don't understand people buying old stuff, especially cars. People pay 6 figures for a old car. I can show them 100 cars that can out perform it, probably even a Toyota Camry these days can blow the doors off some old cars worth 6 figures.

 

red bands are faster

 

Yes, faster at missing the point...

 

Damnit I came here to post this!

 

this is the point and it applies to most everything
