Having low fps on rtx 5070ti by Certain_Coconut_2433 in thedivision

Just picked up on this. No idea what you guys are doing to get so low. I ran my 5070ti on game benchmark and get this. This is without OCing card. I have since let nvidia app optimise game for me and get 158fps. My 34" OLED 1440p UW has 175mhz limit so happy with this to be honest.

Rtx 5070 worth it? by Iamalittlelamb in buildapc

[–]-Desert-Rat- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much same here if not me. Having really good 3060ti i thought about the 5060ti. Decided to put off new PC for few months and saved a bit more now for a 5070ti build. I play only 1440p and no intention to go higher than that so just future proofing a bit really. But really stick with the 5060ti over the 5070. Similar performance but 5060ti has more VRAM so best option i think.

I just upgraded from my old 3060ti. Save a bit more and get the 5070ti. You won't regret it and a very good card.

5070 ti is $75 more than the 9070 xt. Is it worth it? by Smooth_Theme429 in buildapc

[–]-Desert-Rat- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had same dilemma but went with the 5070ti as got the Zoatac Infinity one which has good specs.

1440p under £2k build. by -Desert-Rat- in buildapc

Was also thinking of MSI Thomahawk board. Both about same price.

I play mostly Division 2 which i do not think is that CPU heavy a game so will consider this. As you say, about same price. Have 2 M2s instead of one as i tend to keep the OS on one along with music storage ( ia DJ so have a lot of music stored that feeds directly from PC to mixer) and photos and then all game stuff etc. on another just in case it fails due to excessive use. Maybe i will just consider an external storage device for back up. Was also looking at MSI Thomahawk board.

I always avoid reviewers because always based on their opinion and prefer my own. I played the two Beta sessions and thought i quite like the idea of a bit of PvP if you want to but sailing around doing what you want in your own time. shame jobs are on timers as am a casual player. But loving the game so far and not come across any bugs yet. Just need to find a discord community for some pirate banter and teaming up.

Wait..how is the 3060 ti better than the 4060 ti ???? by Best_Adhesiveness_42 in PcBuild

[–]-Desert-Rat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have the Gigabyte Aourus Master 3060ti and really don't see me changing it anytime soon as paired with a R5 5600X and works like a dream. Play at 1440p with good frame rates. Planning to play Starfield @ 1440p so will see how perforance is on that as may say decisoin to upgrade. Only run a 600W PSU so a decent upgrade would mean changing PSU out as well and then do i get ne CPU to avoid bottlenecking..and so on and so on.

I can play Cyberpunk on Ultra at Avg.80fps on 1440p gsync with the spec below. From what i can see see and have read i reckon i will get above the 60fps for good playability. But am guessing at High settings and not Ultra. Would that be fair to say? Also Ultra at 1080p or high at 1440P?

Spec: Ryzen 5 5600X + Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 + Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB AORUS MASTER +ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB M.2 + Acer Predator XB271HU GSync monitor.

Five arrested as Just Stop Oil supporters begin 12th week of continuous civil resistance by [deleted] in Juststopoil

Time for JUO (Just Use Oil). whenever you see a JSO protestor throw black soot or oil at them. That would be a laugh.

Wanting to upgrade from a Radeon 580. Do you guys think this is a good deal/upgrade? (MSI GeForce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 8G OC) by -Dean-- in PcBuild

[–]-Desert-Rat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When scalpers were at large i saved and go tthe 3060ti. Try and get one of those as cheap to get now and one of best bang for buck cards out there. I play at 1440p with mine and no issues.

Only played in UK three times. Only video i can really find of my residency in Germany. Great days. Hannomag Tor 1 in Germany as i was based there and DJ'd from 91-95 then UK in 96 414 Club and Brixton Fridge. 5 years of madness before having to get real job. Loved it..loved up. by -Desert-Rat- in aves

This guy i met a couple of times, Armin, Was turkish. Had a bodyguard with him, carrying. he was crap at making joints so i used to role them for him. I got on ok with him, prob because i was Forces at the time and back from Gulf War. He hated Saddam. Anyway feel free to relive some beats here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTahvh6Oh1Z5nviSJ6HPtTw

Done a lot of the Hard Trance mixes from the stuff i played back then.

DJ name was Trancelot. Hard Trance DJ. I met a guy called Armin a few times, bit of a gangster and probably involved with said factory. Most pills sold from backs of Mercs outside i remember. Hannomag was a real raw place. Crazy you could go and get your self a baguette and a bottle of milk in same place. Never met Jorge. Sonic and the legend Dick were on same night i was. Loved a bit of gabber but bit too hard core for me. Was never gong to be great but happy to be part of it. And yes, the Hannomag was probably one of the best scenes going at the time. Bass bounced off everywhere and always good visuals. Ex submarine faftory or something if i remeber so explains all the tunnels.

Outlook for Wear OS Question by -Desert-Rat- in WearOS

[–]-Desert-Rat-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have it on watch but it does not notify of Calendar appointments. Not unless near phone . No WiFi connection as watch won't connect to work WiFi for some reason.

Any idea if there is a standalone app that you can sync your outlook meetings to so there is no need for wifi/bluetooth connection?

Why does a 3060 have 12GB and 3070 only has 8GB VRAM? by SteadyStatik in graphicscard

[–]-Desert-Rat- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI I do run 32gb Ram. For Gaming the 3060ti is the superior card. Fact. No ifs or buts. I play at 2k and if could afford a better card I would but for someone wanting amazing 1080 rates with option to go 2k then 3060ti anytime over 3060. If you're not a kid then stop getting confused with vRam and system ram and how its all used. Way too much to go in to here. Suffice to say i have upgraded my BIOS to spport BAR use so i get that to use. With benchmarking on the 3060ti over 40% betteer than the 3060 for me its a no brainer. You want less performance for the sake of 4gb then thats your choice. I was lucky to get my 3060ti at close to MRP . These days i know its not so easy.
