x60 laptop class GPUs were always, will always be and are today typical 'Fools and Money parted' territory.
Just get an IGP and face the fact you're not buying a 'gaming' laptop here. I've had my share of this class of laptops and it was all unfiltered poop. You
can not game on this class of GPUs. Get an IGP and save money, or spend big on something that does run a game proper. Get a Steam Deck alongside a 500 dollar laptop and you have the same 1K dollar spent but then you have two devices, of which the gaming device doesn't drain your battery in a half hour while your non gaming device can be thin and light and excellent for anything that isn't gaming.
/thread really.
And also /discussion over 8GB on this class of cards. People... this is a lying piece of shit product what do you expect. Shouldn't even be called Geforce and frankly since we have half decent gaming APUs, should probably just not even exist.
Nvidia is taking their loyal customers for idiots. They know if they future proof their products then you might skip one generation and they don't want that. They want to keep upgrading every generation.
5060 Laptop or Desktop GPU regardless 12 GB Vram minimum. 5070 must start with 16 GB Vram and 5080 20 GB Vram, and lastly 5090 with 24 GB Vram. That seems fair.
More like customers fooling themselves. If you buy the right GPU for your needs you can easily last upwards of 5 years on one. I consider myself a devout gamer and I played 6 years on a GTX 1080. Yes, it means you will not have the latest greatest nor the highest FPS you can possibly achieve. So what?
But what do we see every time Nvidia drops a new gen? Tech enthusiasts jumping on it for their 30% performance gain and in recent generations quite possibly even less, or just a 'new feature' like DLSS3. OF COURSE Nvidia is going to bleed those idiots dry. They literally ask for it. The price/perf $ figure did not, or barely moved between Ampere and Ada, but lots of people didn't wait for Supers to improve it one bit. They saw a marginal performance gain and jumped on upwards of 600 dollar worth GPUs. Never mind the fact they practically stood still in the large scheme of things. Must buy buy buy
