@cinnamon @knightly666 i was gonna get a 3060 8gb, because my impression was that the 3060 12gb usually runs into other bottlenecks before the vram becomes a concern. im guessing the rx 66xx line doesnt have issues like that?
@knightly666 @cinnamon so do you have any recommendations for an amd card that's comparable in price point and/or performance to the $240 rtx 3060 i'm looking at?

hey critters, what's the state of things these days as far as gpus? is there a clear advantage between nvidia and amd, what's good value for money, what's better in terms of compatibility and features, etc
i ask because i was looking at getting an rtx 3060 (price ~$240 for reference) but i realized i hadnt looked into any amd chips so im not sure what to compare in terms of power and price point. im a pc building newbert so it's hard for me to sort through the specs to find good deals and stuff
@cinnamon how are they not great?
also, i have heard in the past that amd's drivers can be really wonky and cause compatibility problems. is that still true?

@pup_hime yeah i dont know the particulars. this is all kind of above my pay grade
@pup_hime apparently it has something to do with the way pcie lanes are shared, where if you have two graphics cards then attaching additional pcie devices to the same bus could possibly cause issues. but i dont see that coming up very often
My personal cut off is that NES games have to be real, real interesting and fascinating for me to have a good time, and console games from before that are Basically All Not Fun to me
the SNES is when I start really enjoying things and even then I still find most games unappealingly retro in ways. But at least now I can find a lot of stuff I like
This is pure personal preference, btw, no judgement of the games or their value
What's the point in time where "retro" games stop being cool and start being unplayable, for you?
Are you the sorta person who finds SNES platformers divine but NES platformers mostly unpolished messes (with some exceptions)? Can you really sink your teeth into an ancient nes game, but Atari just seems pointless? Are you a huge fan of weird old console stuff, but the oldest arcade games just aren't worth going back to? Or does "fun retro" for you mean say, weird GameCube games?
@pup_hime all the desktop kits i've seen for m.2 cards have little cables and separate antennas and a mounting bracket to mount the antennas to
