re: PC Discussion - Gaming, Performance and Enthusiasts

Started with the 3900x and now I have the 5800x3D so I don't think so. I just think destiny is relatively optimized graphically.

The engine itself is literally fricking spaghetti tho.

It's a bitter pill to swallow on price, but the 4090 is really the only true "generational leap" of this gpu generation. I have a hard time blaming anyone who pulls the trigger on it. Enjoy

Found a good deal on a 12900k for $200. Now time to find a mobo with onboard thunderbolt. Wish PCPartPicker had a filter for it

Up to 600 if necessary

umm think its a 1080p? idk im not home, let me look on amazon and newegg and see if it pops up

rig has the ryzen 7 5800x and the RTX 3070

I remember you asking about monitor upgrades in here a while back, didn't know if you ended up getting something.

EFT is such a craptastic running game, I don't know if it's worth to get this monitor since you wont be getting the full 240hz worth, but if you decide to play other games, you'll be in good hands

Samsung G7 1440p 240hz Monitor

You can definitely get a significantly cheaper 1440p/165hz monitor just for EFT for sub $250

4060Ti 16 GB for $500, with cut down memory bus and CUDA cores from the 3060 Ti.

Lmaoooooo Nvidia has lost it

This makes me feel better about buying the 4070 and that isn't saying much.

AMD is having their 7600 at roughly the same performance as the 4060ti at 330ish.

Wait 6 or months and the prices should come down.

Blame our idiot governments and TSMC.

A wafer will go for a cool 20G at 3nm. Next gen will only be worse.

I’m not so sure. I think the purpose of this generation was to move the window a bit, just like the 20 series did. Small upgrade for shite value. Then the 30 series came out and blew the doors off with both performance and value.

Yeah I think the 50 series will be like 30 series too.

The 10 series blew people away.

The 20 series was basically just a "but yeah look at this new RT feature you cant really use" as the only selling point because performance uplift for value was meh.

The 30 series blew people away with raw performance uplift from 20 series.

The 40 series is a mixed bag when you consider the 4080/4090 but everything else for most part has been basically a "well yeah raw performance is barely up at all and value isnt there, but look at frame gen!"

20 series and 40 series have been mostly new "feature" selling points while 10 and 30 series were looked more at as raw performance upgrade selling points.

I feel like the 50 series will go back to big increase in raw performance and be a good value again, especially with it probably releasing during a more struggling economic time once it does hit. Nvidia is certainly getting the message now the mid-range market isnt buying into what they're trying to sell with 40 series inflation.

Like trying to pass off a 4070 class card as a 12 GB 4080 for $900, then canceling that and calling it a 4070 Ti for an astronomical $800 still when last gen was $600. Now a slap in the face to lower mid-market gamers that if you want more than 8 GB of VRAM which is quickly becoming a necessity in some games the entry point for that now is a $500 4060 Ti 16 GB. Meanwhile previous gen 3060 came with 12 GB for $330....and now a 4060 Ti has more memory at $500 than the $600 4070 and $800 4070 Ti

I feel like the 4060 for "only $299" is kind of like a small reprieve they dropped the prive of the base 60 class card from $329 to that, but also took away half your VRAM in the process.

Haha yeah, they are chonky. I remember reviewers early on reminding people to measure their cases, even if it's a full size case, because the card wasn't fitting in some of them
