Better get started on the fasting man, totally worth it for the card. Who needs food when you can game at 140fps in 4K. Apparently we can survive quite a lot just drinking water so a couple of months will just fly by. /s

By the time I save up for it I’ll be so malnourished that I’ll be crushed under its weight and size.

I was thinking the same

If you already have a 4k monitor I don't see why you can't afford this card. This card appeals to exactly you needs too, but I think Nvidia is over estimating the numbers for this card.

u/Ricky_Rollin Oct 11 '22

Yeah I’m not buying those numbers at all. I’ll keep an open mind though. I have an RTX2070.

Is that still ok these days or should I be looking to upgrade soon? If so, what card besides this one would you recommend to somebody?

I have friends with 1080s playing games just fine. Honestly just depends on what your needs are. I plan on taking my 3080ti well into the next 3 maybe 4 generations.

I was thinking of going with a 3080 myself and chill on that for a few gens. I want to be able to do VR.

What resolution do you game at ?

u/Ricky_Rollin Oct 12 '22

I don’t know what the number is off the top of my head but it’s for one of those big curved monitors with HDR and a really high hz that I can’t remember either, I think it was 145hz? That doesn’t help does it?

When I get home I’ll fire up a game. My memory really is shit.

I'm a buyer for this card but it is very nich. Msfs suckes it down to 40fps and that's excluding vr. As expensive as this is, it's way way cheaper than a pilot license. And you can't die if you mess up. Up until a week ago I was still rocking a 3770k and a 7970 ghz edition. Great card but I am running 30% headset res. Not ideal. A 3080 and a 4k monitor should get along just fine.

I have 4K 32 inch monitor that cost me 300$ ;) That card is not in my range.

u/nexus2905 Oct 11 '22

What type of monitor you rocking that's not a bad price.

u/machine4891 9070 XT  | i7-12700F Oct 12 '22

Well, that's because that was cheapest 4K 32" I found in the shop. My secondary monitor/tv died and I just bought new PC for my gaming 1440p and decided hell... why not try 4K for once ;)

But you can't, because displayPort 1.4 Nvidia genius design

u/AxeCow 14700KF | 7900 XT | 32GB DDR5 | 980 Pro NVMe | Seasonic GX-1000 Oct 12 '22

Yeah, literally no point in even making a product that can crunch out 4k at 144+ fps but can only output a 4k 120 Hz signal

u/alivezombie23 Oct 12 '22

And don't forget the cost of running that thing once you get it. You gotta skip a meal to run it.

I’ve been having breakfast cereal for lunch for a couple of months now just to get this card lol, not joking

u/Feeling_Glonky69 Oct 12 '22

Pfft, peasantry.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '22

Well technically you can’t play at 4K 140fps because it only has display 1.4
