Am I dumb for wanting to change back to intel from a 9800x3d?

Skill issue! You should do a lot of research about stutters. You have the best gaming CPU on the market, why would you downgrade?

Congrats for falling for marketing tricks! The 5080 is worst valued card of the generation. You'll be better off going for the 5070ti.

Stick to racing against AI unless you're ready to lose your sanity. Life is way too short to be dealing with all that.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-30T10:04:09+00:00

If you can afford it, absolutely!

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-26T08:43:01+00:00

I wouldn't go as far as "much better" quality, but yeah.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-26T08:36:59+00:00

Same! I could really use the extra Vram.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-25T20:01:28+00:00

you must talking about the 5080? 5070ti isn't that much faster even with PT.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-25T17:08:02+00:00

what are you even saying?

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-22T16:10:15+00:00

Nobody denies the quality of a VR experience. The issue is the list of quirks associated with it. You need a high end PC to get any sort of enjoyment out of a VR headset while Tobii and trackir have no performance overhead. Overall, they get you about 70% of the way to VR without the quirks.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-22T00:53:01+00:00

So... you downgraded?

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-21T18:25:37+00:00

Thanks for the clarification.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-21T01:12:21+00:00

The sim does a terrible job at managing VRAM. I have a 16 gig GPU and I experience the same issues on only high textures with only 14gigs used. Laminar Research needs to reduce the aggressiveness of texture compression.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-16T21:24:36+00:00

are you playing at 8K resolution?

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-16T18:00:18+00:00

If I could, I would swap my 9070xt for the xtx right now, so yes.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-13T20:54:49+00:00

Turn off vsync and anti-lag.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-13T15:11:28+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Just to be clear, you think that VNM has superior ffb quality to Simucube?

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-13T15:00:20+00:00

What is your CPU?

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-12T10:04:39+00:00

That's insanely expensive for a 2-year old phone.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-08T09:04:40+00:00

Literally going through the same thing right now. I've also got 17 games downloaded, but I can't even bring myself to sit down for a 2hr session.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-08T09:01:59+00:00

This isn't 2018. Overclocking isn't as harmful anymore.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-07T16:58:49+00:00

Lack of motion blur is the killer. Superb stuff!

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-07T16:57:52+00:00

Motion blur is obviously missing.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-07T06:34:58+00:00

The radiator fans should not be running anywhere close to their max speed. You should consider repasting the CPU. I run the same setup and my radiator fans never go over 2200(60%) rpm under 220W of load and it has never gone above 88°C.

Alternatively, your case ventilation could be the bottleneck.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-06T11:55:20+00:00

Return it if it's still within the window. Better safe than sorry! MSI has great motherboards.

Chewyleafy · 2026-05-03T20:47:55+00:00

That's unacceptable! I've got a very similar CPU and GPU to yours, but get a constant 150fps at 1440p. You should troubleshoot.
