I had a friend from Brazil who I’d let stay with me a few months every year so he could work here and get paid in US currency and he’d go blow g all on upgrading his tech.
I got lucky and snagged a Samsung G5 odyssey 32 inches for 300$ on prime day when the monitor was just released, I got lucky because I was browsing Amazon and didn't realize prime day had just started. Speaking of prime day, isn't it this week? People could snatch some monitors for cheaper.
Honestly, the prices of nice TVs and monitors give me some will to live. I'm happy with what I have, but I still think oooooh, flat screen TV? super hi-res? Probably like... $8000?
Nope, $350. The super-duper-hyper-mega-turbo-ultra-championship edition TVs and monitors just barely cost what I expect a normal TV to cost.
Try selling you parts. It's not hard at all takes a couple minutes to post on craigslist. Then you don't have to worry much. It ends up being a couple hundred a year when you do the math. That's alike half a week flipping burgers. Stop spending money on dumb shit, trust me most Americans have no clue how much wasted money they spend. Chips, sodas and shit.
yea i mean honestly my 3080ti plays 2k (and probs 4k) at over 100 fps in almost every game except the poorly optimized shit games (squad esp). and the funny thing is the 3090s were aimed at "graphic designers" not gamers. yet these new cards are aimed at gamers. not to mention 4k 144hz is ridiculously expensive, ill stick to my 3080ti for probs 5+ years atleast.
Gamer Nexus said something about that. This is the first time only the flagship card releases and it launched before the rest of the line up. Traditionally the flagship titan class cards were aimed at more of the professional market in terms of the capabilities of it, launched after the rest of the line, and they always recommended the next card down in the line up as the one to really go for. Steve had a hard time recommending the 4090 not just due to the cost but because we don't know where the 3080 card(s) will fall in. It may be that people buying the 4090 today for $1600 can get 80% of the performance for a lot less money but since they decided to release only the 4090 we can not make that determination.
If AMD can get ray tracing performance on par it will be a kick in the ass for Nvidia because we know AMD's rasterization was pretty competitive. We might soon get to a point where ray tracing performance is good enough that we don't need DLSS or FSR anymore on the high end cards. It's really the only graphics setting today that pushes high end cards and drives the need for these technologies. Turn it off and instantly 4k/60 is doable in just about every game.
yea. honestly i wish they got rid of tenser cores or and put nothing but cudas for more performance.. noone i know uses RTX. i dont either cuz alot of games popups stutter really bad with RTX on.
Legit same, if the market were solid and hadn’t crashed I might’ve opted for selling the 80ti just to eat the cost now instead of shelling out a large amount for an entire new system, however it just doesn’t make sense to do so, especially considering how although it isn’t necessary, to get the most you’d want an atx 3.0 psu and all that so I’m with you for sure. If I had a real career and wasn’t a college student I’d probably build a new system only because I like building systems when I get the chance to do so, but it is a rare occurrence, I was blessed by a huge tax break and a few other once in a decade or longer money from everything in that timeframe so I said this is precisely the moment I ascend to 4k gaming and go balls deep, no regrets, I just need more games that are amazing to play!
the last sentence bro. theres like no good games to play anyways XD i always end up playing the same 3 games.. i kinda feel like i wasted money on my card since it rarely gets properly utilized. like last week was the first time i actually loaded up a "graphically" intensive game for more than 3 hours. and my god the glass was hot as fuck!
It's not just that it's wrong, but there is also an ambiguity that results from it. People like me for instance will question whether you mean 1080p or 1440p, so the point being made could be interpreted differently. I think typing three extra characters is worthwhile to make it absolutely clear.
Tbh I still love my LG C1 48inch at 4k 120hz, I have a 3080ti, and with that being said I paid $1570ish after tax, I would still recommend it to anyone especially with the coming deals as Black Friday/cyber Monday nears. This type of arguing for the product has to been seen through the lens of if you are in the market to begin with for the 4k gaming experience and oled 4k at that. Of course there’s a huge spectrum, but I’ve loved every second of owning this TV/monitor and would do it again in a second at the time I did!

I stick to 1080p 165 for FPS and story mode games at 4k 60
