I'm not taking it personally, I just don't like when people spread misinformation. If you live in a world where you don't need to mix max performance don't make statements that you get flawless performance on ultra settings, because you're not. I get the patient gamer sentiment, I have a vast catalogue of games that I don't need to get the latest and greatest of games, I get them only if it's something I really want to play. For example I will get Monster Hunter wilds because I love monster hunter, but the Indiana Jones game went into my wishlist because that's something I can wait to go on sale. I support people waiting to buy games.

However what I don't do is in the year 2027-2028 I tell people that if they buy a 40 series card they'll be able to play Indiana Jones natively at 60+ FPS with ultra settings. That would effectively be misinformation because unless you're buying a 4090 (which I doubt would be reasonably priced 3 years from now) that's just not true.

Like I said before, if you want to say fuck Nvidia that's fine. If you want to suggest they get AMD cards, that's fine. But don't tell them they'll get something they definitely won't get, especially with AMD cards.
