Having had a 4k monitor for a few years, I would put very little weight on what a card can do in 4k ‘with all the bells and whistles enabled’. Some of these ‘bells and whistles’ were designed for gamers playing on lower resolutions and have GPUs that are overkill for that rez, and get exponentially more expensive at 4k rez for no real perceptible difference in visual quality. Just my 2c.

7106

Welp, wait all month for a bus and then three come along at once. Just when I had unsubscribed from the stock monitor bot and resigned myself to waiting for next year on the GPU front, EVGA’s queue system came through and I now have one of these on its way: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3897-KR

7107

Not being snarky: that’s what DLSS is for, right? So you can run with all the bells and whistles, drop the resolution, but still have it look close to 4K?

7108

That’s the one I got. You can totally make the LEDs go back and forth like a Cylon’s eye.

7109

WD: Legion even w/ DLSS (at least the quality setting) at 4K isn’t 60fps. I can turn down RTX and some other features and it’s fine. However my ‘secondary’ display is an awesome 3440x1440 ultrawide, and I’m playing on that one. Still, I hope Cyberpunk is optimized better so I can enjoy the 4K OLED experience.

7110

1080p upscaled on that 4k oled prolly looks fine. Have you tried?

7111

I haven’t I’ll give it a shot.

7112

Interesting, thanks. I’ve heard WD is a real pig in terms of optimization. If you don’t mind me asking, what CPU do you have paired with your 3080? Only asking because I have a 3080 on the way and I’m curious what to expect.

7113

I’ve got a 3900X and 32gb of 3600Mhz RAM, on an X570, and a 2TB PCIE4 Sabrent Rocket NVME drive.

Aside from the new 5000 series Ryzen CPUs, I should be pretty good to go

7114

Thanks, mono!

7115

I wouldn’t get too bent outta shape on how a next gen Ubisoft game runs on new hardware. Their track record for optimization is…well shit. Hate the game not the player.

7116

Gah, Asus’s own German store keeps popping up with stock, at very reasonable prices, but they seem to only ship domestically.

7117

I used to be an early adopter every new generation, even overclockinh like mad to boot. Now I suddenly find myself 2&3 generations behind. I’m like, what happened? I have a hodgepodge of parts spread throughout my case with small drives and parts velcro’d to the sides cause I didn’t want to give up any SSD space. It looks like a spaghetti monster barfed in there

It’s crazy where we’re at and how hard it is now to get current.

7118

Is this the evga thing? How do you see your queue position?

7119

Do you think a 3080 with 20 Gig of RAM would make it run better (if all speeds and timings were the same)?

7120

For games that need more Vram. Yes. :p

Godfall when it does come out, will need more than 10GB of Vram for 4k ultra settings.

7121

And one more lol.

When do you all think AMD will have real stuff to show on their version of DLSS and ray-tracing? I’m so hoping they can give NVidia parity so people won’t have to sacrifice anything to go their route. If people have an AMD cpu, running in rage mode will be amazing for them.

7122

Well some people were saying 10 Gig was more than enough. With the 3080 TI coming to paper-launch stores everywhere and AMD with more standard memory the 10 Gig situation has been confusing.

7123

I think they’ll have at least a bullet point or two they can share when the 6000 series drops, but I strongly suspect none of it will be implemented until sometime in 2021. That said, they WILL have something. No clue if it’s going to be remotely as good as DLSS (1 or 2). They say it’s going to be open platform, which makes sense due to providing the GPUs for the consoles, but that doesn’t mean much for PC gamers aside from having some confidence future console ports will eventually implement it.

7124

Tomorrow, right? For PS5 and Epic Game Store anyway. You’re making it sound like some far away time. Or are you talking about the Steam release and Xbox releases (both 6 months out, I believe?)
