    I understand your point but you’d have to admit that A. gaming is competitive. B. hitting high FPS in 4k+ requires thoroughbred hardware, and for those of well means, buying the latest just means staying ahead of those who can’t.

    games can absolutely look better on highest resolution, all textures and options enabled , etc.

    that’s just for overzealous gamers, not touching the coin mining industry or rendering or other capabilities the 5 series has( and will grow over time )over 4 series.

      What is competitive about textures? Is eSports an arts contest now? You can’t seriously suggest that having better textures makes a gamer better at playing counter strike.

      4K high FPS is exactly the kind of useless numbers game I’m talking about. There’s a point at which humans don’t see differences anyway. Especially in those super high competitive games you also have pretty fast paced movements, you can’t see texture quality.

      Yes, if compared in a lab environment the newer card will probably create a better image, but we’re pretty close to “virgin blood infused speaker wires for audiophiles” territory.
