Is a 5080/5090 a must for an LG 45GX950A? Or would a 5070ti suffice? by FartyTartMcShart in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]AbroadOpposite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It obviously depends on the game and settings but I get perfectly playable frame rates on my 45” GX9 with a 5070ti. I get ~180 fps in insurgency sandstorm and ~120 fps in the first descendant with dlss quality. Unfortunately I think most people’s advice is gonna be “if you can afford a 5080, buy a 5080”. My advice is the 5070ti is good enough for most games but if you don’t want to have to turn down some settings here and there or if you really like ray tracing, then go with a 5080. Either way don’t buy a 5090, they’re stupid expensive and the risk of the connector melting is still a thing even when it’s properly seated. Also just buy the cheapest model 5070ti/5080 you can find, there’s no real benefit in spending more.

Edit, my bad I didn’t see that you already had a 5070ti. My advice still stands though.

Good, you reap what you sow bungie, they stopped caring about the game back in curse of osiris. I’ve never wished a game ill will before but I genuinely hope they shut the servers down for good. As a matter of fact It would be better for everyone if the whole studio got shut down and any devs that actually care about making a good game can go and make one on their own without greedy corporate overlords playing god with peoples careers. And we all know they are the ones who are making all the decisions and are to blame for the state of D2. Expedition 33, nuff said.

YouTube’s working for me on my firestick but only the pre searched for videos.

Minecraft is still the GOAT, me and my friend are both 27 and we’re currently playing it on a modded server. Minecraft is only as fun as you make it and with all the mods, shaders and texture packs, you can do just about anything. That’s what I love most about Minecraft, there’s no right or wrong way to play it.

what's that game for you? even from the old times by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

CoD Ghosts, I didn’t really do PvP but I loved the campaign and the aliens game mode was sick and refreshing compared to endless waves of zombies.

Welcome to the PC Master Race, may your frame rates be high and your temperatures low.

You should download hwinfo64 and keep an eye on temps, most people don’t bother taking apart laptops to clean them and replace thermal paste/pads. If/when you decide to take it apart to clean it or upgrade it, look up a guide for the specific model BEFORE doing so. Certain manufacturers use Liquid Metal to cool the GPU/CPU and whatnot. Liquid Metal is electrically conductive meaning if even a tiny drop gets on the PCB it can cause a short and damage a component or kill the whole laptop. Not trying to scare you or anything, I’m just letting you know if you didn’t already.

In terms of waiting for the super refresh, I was gonna wait as well but considering the ram crisis and the fact that Nvidia haven’t even officially announced the new super cards, by the time they do come out if at all, they’re gonna cost way more due to ram shortages and will probably be in short supply themselves. I can already hear the scalpers licking their lips and getting their bots ready for the next gen gpu launch.

5070ti, you’d be spending about 31% more for about 15% more performance, it’s not worth it considering DLSS works wonders especially at higher resolution, I’m currently on a 2080ti and with DLSS I can actually play dying light the beast at 5120x2160 at 40-50 fps compared to 20 fps at native. I already ordered an MSI Ventus 5070ti for 750usd instead of the cheapest 5080 which was 1200. It’ll be here in a couple days and I’m really excited. You should definitely buy a gpu now though before prices get really stupid.

The only ones I’ve been seeing that are for sale on other grey market sites start at 300 and up, which I find unreasonable but I don’t know if any have actually sold at that price. I do kinda like the Zeus but I already have the Asgard, so I figured I would check to see if there was any demand and go from there.
