People really gotta speed when it's raining out
wise wigeon
It be like that
Ngl I’m kind of curious since were coming from similarly performing gpus to the same upgrade
What are you planning on pegging your 7900xtx with that your 4070 couldn’t handle
surreal comet
Cyberpunk (non rt) was a pretty poor experience
I'm using it for high refresh 1440p, not 4k
wise wigeon
Same
surreal comet
Games like hitman and RDR2 finally become high refresh rate on the 7900xtx
I've got 240hz I gotta use them all
surreal comet
I've heard that optimization is
wise wigeon
I was on the beta last week and to get it to playable for me I had to use frame gen
surreal comet
Kinda not good
wise wigeon
World was similarly bad on launch
wise wigeon
Don’t even get me started on world’s dlss implementation
wise wigeon
Because it was like 30ms frametimes
Christ that’s just a lil faster than 30fps frame times
surreal comet
Idk what's wrong with it
I didn't notice any framegen settings
I'll figure it out when it's time to bench the 4070 before it goes into storage
wise wigeon
Just cyberpunk?
worn wave
Cyberpunk (non rt) was a pretty poor experience
Non RT was poor on a 4070?? I'm doing 60fps at 1440p quality DLSS with RT on
wise wigeon
High refresh
worn wave
Maybe balanced dlss I forget. Transformer model is great
wise wigeon
Like I’m more open to frame gen on the xtx because I’ll be able to get like 80-90 native
surreal comet
I'll just go to non rt but high settings high refresh rate
As high of a refresh rate you'll get out of 2077 anyways
New card should handle pretty much anything non rt at 1440p anyways
wise wigeon
Got wukong last year and man I blew not being able to hit a consistent 60
I forced myself to use frame gen but it was obviously still off
wise wigeon
Depends on the game and input
surreal comet
Yeah I have more "frames" but it feels like it eats my inputs
And at that point I'm frustrated so I'm closing the game and going to play melee
wise wigeon
Souls games and monster Hunter I use controller so it just isn’t as affected
I can def feel when it goes under 60 but
surreal comet
I don't ever use controller tbh
Besides for melee
But that's frame locked to 60 anyways so who cares
wise wigeon
After like 90fps it’s good enough and the visual smoothness takes it from there
surreal comet
Framegen just seems like a crutch
icy ore
I only use controller for racing games and Elden ring really
surreal comet
For a lack of actual innovation and progression
icy ore
I can’t aim with a controller for crap
surreal comet
I only use controller for racing games and Elden ring really
I use keyboard for racing games like a true insane man
wise wigeon
Well it’s a crutch for devs
On Nvidia end the original purpose I feel was justified
But now it’s being passed off as pure performance
wise wigeon
And maybe we’ll get to the point we’re it’s close enough to non frame gen that it doesn’t matter
But as of now we haven’t got there
I mean I’m surprised the 5080 even got close to the 4090 with an OC considering how much less cores it has
Like it’s not completely the same obviously because a OC 4080 is nowhere near the 4090
surreal comet
Realistically we shouldn't have to be using all this frame gen and whatnot because "uh Moore's law is dead" okay people who give me 8gb of vram for 450 dollars
wise wigeon
I mean some games are just built around controller
surreal comet
Hardest part is learning throttle control and even then it's not bad
wise wigeon
And it shows
surreal comet
If you have sheer will any game can be a keyboard game
wise wigeon
Souls games and mh games are built around controller and while mkb is playable it’s both what I would use
Not*
wise wigeon
I have the 8bitdo on my desk so
Plus some games that are more mkb centered but have good controller support I’ll use a controller
Like ff14
It’s a chill game so I rather lean back and just play on controller
FPS games and stuff I’ll stick to mkb though
surreal comet
I just never liked controller too much
surreal comet
I only stay with it for melee because trying to throw away like 15 years of muscle memory ain't gonna work
Even though stuff like boxx exists

Ok welp looks like I don’t have to worry about keeping an eye out on the $830 xtx pulse
Because it’s back in stock and now it’s 920
And wouldn’t come til next Thursday so

Will say tho, now that I am experiencing it, really like it

I mean ain’t the x870 aorus elite like 230?
They are
Well
Not by much
Ngl the asrock 9800x3d burns had me too scared to go for an x870 asrock
What is that aorus master?
I mean I got the x870 elite for 230
Think it’s a pretty decent price for it
Only thing is the lane sharing I guess
But that’s only a worry if I go past 2 names
For a b650e?

It’s a nice case
Sadge
I coulda got the xtx if I had stayed awake on the 31st
Well got it for $830
But now that that model is $920 I’m not gonna bother
I like the look of the xtx merc better and I’m pretty sure it’s one of the nicer OC models
Saving $80 to get a lower end model two days later ain’t worth
Now if it was the nitro plus back in stock for $920 or $930 maybe

I had to cancel mines. The pricing was too much per month
nocturne flicker
Or a HDHP with the same premium with 7k deductible before full coverage and no HSA for tax benefits
And if I was making full pay with 40hrs a week, their health insurance would still be 1% over what the ACA allows for me to nope out and get marketplace healthcare with subsidies
Before deductions make that percentage bigger

Also they didn't send an actual Summary of Benefits because they don't want people to see that their high 'value' healthcare option doesn't meet minimum value standards

During COVID our C teacher basically just told us to watch some video lecture and go and type some code with your partner in a different Zoom call. And then she would jump in once a class, ask if you had any questions, give a bad answer to any that left you more confused and your question unanswered and left
wise wigeon
someone did a modified ultra settings for the mhw benchmark and got like 173 average on 1440p so i'm kinda excited
obviously it involved frame gen but still
like i'm down with frame gen if it looks alright enough and I have a high enough base framerate
storm narwhal
You need to have a base of 60 or more
wise wigeon
but rn with my 3080 think i was getting like 50-60 fps without frame gen
storm narwhal
And imo I would rather not pay for a game that pushes a bad precedence in how games are rendered
wise wigeon
probably would be higher if i popped the 3080 into the 9800x3d build
storm narwhal
I don't want to have to lean on frame gen in order to play the game

as a monster hunter fan i'm kinda used to it running like dog compared to other games

Effectively paywalling you from playing
wise wigeon
like mhgu was still running at 30 and some areas with grass definitely made it dip
the 3ds games I give them some leeway because you're trying to get something to run on the 3ds
looking at old mh world gameplay and with the more premium hardware (1080ti, 7700k) at the time it was running less than 60 fps at 1440p
but that was a different time and 1440p was more of a luxury in 2019
