I&amp;#x27;m playing on a RTX3080 thanks to geforce now, but I admit it&amp;#x27;s only possible due to my living in a big city with a very low ping connection to nvidias data centres.&lt;p&gt;But the economics make total sense. It&amp;#x27;s like 15&amp;#x2F;euro a month. A RTX 3080 would cost me like 1200 euro to buy at the moment, without the rest of the PC to go with it. And I&amp;#x27;d need to run windows, which I&amp;#x27;ve not done since &amp;#x27;98.&lt;p&gt;Outsourcing hardware it seems, does work for gaming, if you&amp;#x27;ve got the &amp;#x27;net for it, :}</text></item><item><author>Tiktaalik</author><text>Seriously.

I&amp;#x27;ll walk past a puddle and just... walk back and forward. It feels like what your teenage overclock made crysis look look like in the early 2000&amp;#x27;s, I can recommend.</text></comment>
