I still support buying a decent graphics card and a game rather than paying a subscription while also buying the game. Their basic plans costs 10 euro per month which is 240 euro for 2 years which is average cost for a decent gaming card. And best part is you own it. You can get NVIDIA 3060 for that amount. Which is amazing card.
A 3060 is only 240 euro?
You can get them for $399 here in Canada which converts to 276 euro. Seems reasonable they might be able to find one for 240 in their region.
Got the 12GB one for 200€ last week for my gf.
Geforce Now is not at all about cost to me. I use GeForce Now because it allows me to play on my laptop, tablet, phone or TV anywhere I have an internet connection. I don't have or want a desktop, and prefer to have a thin and light laptop for travel rather than a gaming laptop.
I would rather get rx 6650 xt for gaming primarily. Don't know about RTX 4000 series or RX 7000 series though.
7900xtx all the way
Buy the hardware so you can offset the costs by pirating all the games
Two years of subscription buys a ps5 or a steamdeck, if one want the "easy" experience
