NVIDIA has reportedly stopped production of its mid-range GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, according to ASUS, one of the largest PC manufacturers. ASUS shared exclusive information with Hardware Unboxed, revealing that NVIDIA has created a supply shortage for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, effectively e...
Think it might be time to find more games that run well without a graphics card. I have a few but a larger selection would be nice.
More 2D gaming perhaps?
Lots of modern igpus are scary fast. Like first gen iris xe was not bad. Same with latest gen Vega 8. Mind you this was 5 years ago. Most of the current handhelds that aren’t the steamdeck are full apus with much better hardware.
For context, I played cp2077 on an igpu.
Yeah that is a fair point tbh, mostly play obscure indie games so benchmarks for what I actually play are hard to come by but would be interesting to see how they compare to older cards that I know are fine. Running an RTX2070 which is really overkill but it is nice to know I don’t even need to look at system requirements for anything I am realistically going to play.
I think if my card dies I may well just try it on the 7800X3D I have. I presume it can run CDDA, Factorio and Rimworld just fine which already covers a good chunk of my gaming. Anvil Empires is something I have been into that might be interesting though, but its also barely optimised and I am in the closed alpha.
For the most part, I’d say a majority of decent systems nowadays can emulate gen 5 games and below.
There are probably hundreds of games that you can jump into that you’ve never played before, and then you have mods for the more popular ones as well.
I’ve probably dumped a thousand hours into Pokemon ROM hacks alone on my Steam Deck.
Well so far AMD and Intel have not decided to screw over their non-rich gaming user base as much so you can still play modern games.
