I do agree that American culture is flawed in the fact that you're expected to move out at a young age.
I'd like to set up my house for my kids so they can live with me but also have their privacy well into their 20's just so they can get established. Unless they are spending their money on unnecessary things. Then they can get the boot early

It's not so much that he's living with his parents, that's fine. But upgrading from a 4080 to a 5090 for 1440p gaming is just a horrible money decision

There's nothing wrong with getting a high end gpu for 1440p if you can afford it. The problem is that OP seemingly can't actually afford it.
I use a 4090 @ 1440, 3440x1440 and 4k and certain games will still max out the gpu utilization at 1440p

and if you do get into modded and shaders, be prepared to constantly be at 100% gpu usage at bigger packs. 3070 here, can barely run at 100fps sometimes below 80, 100% usage constantly

Yeah I'm in ATM10 with some friends and run about 144 with shaders on an i9 and 4070.
It's on neoforge so it's a bit smoother than regular forge, but comparatively in atm9 I got like 40 because of minecolonies
Minecolonies is one of the most demanding mods on the scene, as bad as if not worse than create.

I went 2k resolution last year and play some newer/newish games. Modded F4 and Skyrim also.

They're gonna be good, for sure better than a 4080S but, they're just lacking like the 4000 series. Unless this gen has some crazy optimizations it's gonna be a repeat of this gen, overpriced, low Vram. AMD next gen cards seemingly have a big jump in RT so I may go team red if they deliver.

Eh, no shame in living with the parents for a while. I lived on my own throughout my 20s, but moved back in with my mom in my 30s when my dad bailed on her. She couldn't afford the mortgage on her own with SS so I'm paying the mortgage now. I'm paying less on the mortgage than I was for rent elsewhere and I'll own the house someday. I was never going to afford a house on my own at the rate I was going. I'm saving money and eventually get a house out of it and my mom is saving money by having me pick up the mortgage so she's not living alone in poverty in her 70s.
We generally just leave each other alone and it's working pretty well for us.

u/Arthur-Wintersight 1d ago
I hope you've accounted for Medicaid clawbacks.
You could end up paying off the mortgage only for the government to take the house, and you really need to speak with an estate lawyer if you haven't already.
There could also be problems with the will, that can force an expensive probate if you haven't had it reviewed by a decent attorney. In the worst case, some piece of shit with a history of committing crimes against their own family members can be entitled to a share of the estate.
Literally both of those things happened in my family.

For me having a 4080 (and I love it, had it since the launch of the 40 series) means that the only real upgrade from here is a 5090, the 5080 is probably gonna be around 4090 performance so nothing substantial enough to justify the cost.
The 80 teir was always the bigger scam anyways, only had got my 4080 instead of a 4090 due to case size limitations at the time, but even then i was happy with my 3080ti that it was replacing (as it kicked the bucket)
Loved the 3080ti so much I built a whole nother rig anyways with a beautiful founders 3080ti, the guy had the box and papers and everything

Honestly, though, living with parents should definitely be less stigmatized. In Asian cultures, it's normal, especially if you're unmarried, child-free, or planning to take care of your own parents, or take over their business if they have one. (you're not living for free or "freeloading" - in many cases, you're also expected to be the one paying the bills & doing the chores, while taking care of your parents).
Also a good way to save money. At least if you do get along with your parents...

u/NDCyber 7600X, RX 7900 XTX, 32GB 6000MHz CL32 1d ago
No, but that is also not why it would be interesting to me. I like it, because of the price to performance ratio and all the features you get, plus the 12GB of VRAM are great at that price point in my eyes (if it would go down to its msrp). I find it way more interesting what companies can push out at a certain price point, rather than high end
I would probably not completely switch to an Intel card, especially because of driver on Linux, but they are really interesting to me, but it probably couldn't replace my 7900 XTX, although I start to play older games + indie games more either way, than I did when I bought the 7900 XTX
Another thing I would like to try would be to learn optimisation of Game settings, but that is kind of a waste with my GPU and CPU combination, because if I optimise it more for my GPU it can happen relatively fast, that my CPU is the bottleneck. But that is kinda a luxury problem, so I can't really complain about it

You're gonna constantly chase this shit, and never be happy. But you are gonna keep living with your parents, while Nvidia keeps your money lol.

Every big new game is gonna be insanely hard on even top end GPUs when pushing crazy frames or maxing them out, and you'll never consistently hit 360fps. I doubt you can even really tell the difference between that and something like 240hz. When I get a higher end card I wanna enjoy the visuals and hit at least 90 and be happy.

There are though…. A 4090 still struggles at 1440p from time to time. Flight sims and physics simulators struggle. VR is especially an issue. Consistent 60fps with higher fidelity or complexity games is not possible with that. Just because the games you play are fine doesn’t mean other people don’t have issues. Getting consistent 140fps+ gameplay in a lot of modern games at 1440p is not yet possible.

Bro the economy is bad. This may and probably is dumb ass math but here how I see it: where I live houses cost 1 million dollars and I and renting my parents place, buying a one time payment of a pc ain’t going to do shit on my ability to buy a house tomorrow.
My advice is put money away in a savings/ investment account and ensure you are on the up and up, saving for retirement and etc, but at the end of the day so damn many of us younger people are screwed for a long time.

Great and I'm planning on building a setup in 2025 after building the living shit out of My main machine since 2013, but eh, GTA 6 needs something better than a GTA 5 built wich still runs a i7 3770 from mid 2012 (Surprisingly still holds up very well, paired with 32GB Ram and a GTX 1070 8GB VRAM GPU).
...
Eh, idk, might buy that card than or just built everything to peack and throw in a GTX 3080i or something from like 2 gens ago and get the 5090 Ti the following Christmas, idk.
Bet am not the only one in here but Hey, at least GPU swapping is the easit thing to do.

And guys like you are rhe reason that the prices of those products skyrocket, because you will pay whatever Nvidia wants just to get the newest and best tech.

No one should buy a 5090... Only a business should be buying a 5090.

I have $1600 in credit card points saved up just so I don't don't have to feel the hit so much from that inevitable purchase. If you're going to be financially irresponsible you have to do it right!

Is the joke that you think it's worth bragging about the fact that you're technically an adult but you have the willpower of a child?
I can't imagine how anyone making less than mid six figures would even consider buying that

Ah yes, let's be consoomers who buy $2000 600W space heaters.
What a great idea.
No Graphics card should take more than 250W of energy. It's a fucking joke.

if what is separating you from moving out of your parents house is the $2k-ish the GPU will cost, you can't afford to move out, you'ren't financially responsible enough to have such short margins.
