Let's talk about how horrible is for the recent Graphics Card market

While one of my friends is collecting all old news of this game, we read a news about the dev talks about the global illumination of this game.
GDC talk: Scalable Real-Time Ray Traced Global Illumination for Large Scenes - News - Enlisted
They noticed the GTX1070 for many times. Also I used the GTX1070 for several months till yesterday.
The news was published nearly 2 years ago. And the GTX1070 was released ~5 years ago.
Lots of new comers in my local Enlisted game group has asked about the GPUs since they want to play OBT and they dont have a decent PC to play. But the GPU market has gone crazy now. The minimum requirement of this game is GTX660(2GB), around an GTX950, or GTX1050, or RX560. The price of GTX1050 has now bounced back to its MSRP which was set 4 years before.
If you want to get a “OK” graphic of this game at 1080p, you should at least get a GTX970, or a GTX1060(3/5GB), which are also sold at the same price when they were new cards.
The only good news is that, ETH, the most popular GPU mining coin, has a minimum requirement of 5GB GRAM. So the GPUs that below GTX1650S, the card’s price is not insane high. Also the incoming RTX3050, around GTX1660 performance, is also only 4GB of GRAM.

Also a “Ladder map” of GPUs’ performace.

I run a GTX 970 and get 100 frames on maximum graphics at 1080p. Honestly this game is not graphics intensive whatsoever
