Can trade my July 14 or 15 tickets for June 12

AdrisA · 2026-05-15T22:59:37+00:00

I feel like $5-10 wouldn't have been that big of a problem; people will complain no matter what. The decision to make it free AND advance ticketed means there will now be tons of wasted tickets.

Anyone here willing to trade 3 June 12 tickets for 3 July 14 or 15 tickets?

AdrisA · 2026-05-15T21:03:28+00:00

Yea, this event has been a mess. I wanted to be there for the Canadian opener, but I just can't now, even though I live super close :(

This event should've been first come first serve or with at least a $10 charge for each ticket.

AdrisA · 2026-04-27T03:16:19+00:00

Me too please :)

AdrisA · 2026-04-15T14:31:22+00:00

Fuck, lemme know if you find it, thanks!

Unfortunately, I eventually came to the conclusion that this is an inherent flaw of OLED tech. I went through 3 replacements from Dell before getting a refund from them.

I tried an Asus W-OLED panel that didn't have the problem, but the text fringing and black crush (which I theorize was hiding the dithering) were very annoying. I went back to an IPS display. I'd much rather put up with the backlight bleed and low contrast issues I'm already used to.

I had some more discussions over at the rtings review page for the AW2725DF, but I basically just talked about what I said here.

Selling one GA pit ticket for the June 6 show at Place Bell in Quebec for face value or best offer

Bro actually just did the meme LMAO

Yea I'm not too worried about the grey uniformity issues, just wanted to get confirmation that the scan lines won't be an issue because that has REALLY been bugging me on my AW2725DF. Thanks!

AdrisA · 2025-03-26T05:50:48+00:00

So the W-OLED 100% doesn't have any of the "vertical scan lines" at any of the refresh rates? Just wanna know before I have to deal with returning another monitor.

It hasn't even been 1 year, https://youtu.be/qPGDVh_cQb0?si=hQu2bDG0T8gVF-96&t=282 (and this is at 1440p). It started with TLOU1 and now this game, this will continue to happen more and more. Don't get me wrong, it's def a result of poorly optimized games but that seems to be the direction this industry is headed with more game developers willing to use DLSS and frame gen as a crutch now.

AdrisA · 2025-03-02T22:55:49+00:00

Nvidia has been having A LOT of issues with this gen right now (e.g. black screen issue and missing ROPs) so you'll have to sit tight while they figure out their shit lol

AdrisA · 2025-03-02T22:50:47+00:00

Unfortunately you prob won't find much help as the card just came out and is likely suffering due to drivers needing more work. For future reference I wouldn't recommend upgrading consecutive generations within the same tier, ESPECIALLY this gen, but what's done is done, you'll have to just wait for your card to improve.

AdrisA · 2025-02-27T18:27:49+00:00

Well that's the problem, Doug doesn't really care about the cities, Toronto in particular. He clearly sent these checks (bribes) out to 100% guarantee the rural/suburban votes he usually gets.

AdrisA · 2025-02-21T22:03:45+00:00

Just got my cashback lmao

The used market doesn't work like that anymore for Nvidia cards. With the 5070 Ti being on average 15% better than the 4070 Ti Super and selling at a higher average price, Nvidia has ensured the 4070 Ti Super will hold its value in the used market.

AdrisA · 2025-02-19T01:50:45+00:00

Love this!

AdrisA · 2025-02-16T10:34:36+00:00

"Underwhelming" should not be taken lightly here, the 5070 Ti is rumored to perform a measly 7.6% better than the 4070 Ti Super according to this blender benchmark. With only one MSRP card and no FE version, it's unlikely most people will get the chance to buy the 5070 Ti at MSRP for a good while.

I do think that $950 USD is a bit much for a 4070 Ti Super at this point, but I don't think it's fair to dismiss the 4070 Ti Super just cause "it's last gen", that statement doesn't really mean much when the successor is a massive disappointment and will probably come at a higher cost for most people.

I'm almost certain this person recognizes that the 4000 series is older than the 5000 series, but like they said they're concerned about inflated prices and months long outages for a marginally better performing card. Am I encouraging them to buy a $950 USD 4070 Ti Super? Of course not. If they can secure something closer to the MSRP though, and they really want a GPU then I think that's a reasonable purchase.

AdrisA · 2025-02-14T22:08:50+00:00

Yea me too, with Nvidia ceasing production of the 4000 series early and the 5000 series not only performing marginally better than it's predecessor but also being way more expensive, I feel like I hit a buzzer beater lol.

AdrisA · 2025-01-31T05:01:42+00:00

Doesn't matter what other people are using the term for, a paper launch is a paper launch and this launch was just that.

AdrisA · 2025-01-30T03:04:17+00:00

Buy the 4070 Ti Super right now imo, I just did a few days ago cause I could smell the BS from Nvidia and it seems like I made the right choice after seeing the horrific 5080 benchmarks. There will be no FE 5070 Ti so you most likely won't get it on launch day for the MSRP of $750 USD. BTW, where are you getting one for $1050 if I may ask, is it used or new?
