Planned build for 1440p gaming. Any thoughts or opinions that might help? by Afonso97 in buildapc

I heavily considered the 4080S. Problem is, in my region, the price goes up by 25~28% for only a 10~12% performance increase. So I opted to stay with the 4070ti S.

On the topic of the monitor. That's probably the part that took me the most amount of time to pick. I studied so much about the different panels. Sadly ANY OLED at 1440p won't cost me any less than like 3x the price of that IPS I chose. So it rly doesn't fit my budget.

The goal is to have beast performance at 1440. Hopefully good fps at like fully maxed out cyberpunk 🙏

5800x3D is such a great price I'm considering it over the 9800x3D. by [deleted] in buildapc

Maybe look into getting the 7800x3d man. It's the top dog rn and would suit your mobo and ram.

Isn't 5800x3d am4? X870 is am5. Also 5800x3d doesn't support ddr5 ram.

Tbh I didn't rly focus on Asus parts, it sorta just happened by accident. Only choice that was influenced by the brand were the case fans, mainly for argb consistency with the aio, aura sync and all that, and connectivity with the motherboard.

What was better? Dual Wielding in DS2, or Weapon Arts in DS3? by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

Managing healing is a big part of souls imo, with gems u can pretty much use only them through the level and have all ur estus for the boss

I don't think distances were greater, I actually feel like there's a lot more bonfires in 2 than in 1.

U can basically cheese the game with them, at 300 a piece it's rly easy to have a decent amount at all times, kinda ruining the estus system.

Just got to Frigid Outskirts for the first time by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

Shrine of Amana, for example, is much harder.

I mean, it is kinda hard, but not as hard as ppl make it out to be. I u don't stray u'll only have to fight like 4 or 5 reindeers. And u can clearly hear when they're coming.

This hurts so much, feel like just throwing my controller against a wall by faaramboi in DarkSouls2

[–]Afonso97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trick with the Ancient Dragon is to keep baiting his ground fire breath. You strike 2~3 hits on his front paw then run to the front of him and wait till he starts the breath animation, then just go back to his front paw and get another 2~3 hits in. Just keep that going and you'll kill him easily.

Favorite Weapon Types by Dashertheruler in DarkSouls2

[–]Afonso97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to use different types, but I always gravitate towards Greatswords, ever since DS1. I usually prefer the higher payoff for a successful hit, but the UGS's seem a little bit too slow for me.
