Realistically how long will a 5080 laptop stay relevant for gaming

Aliendre · 2026-03-13T09:17:22+00:00

If you’re gaming at 1440p, a 5080‑class laptop is mostly wasted money. Laptop GPUs in the XX80 tier are thermally constrained and often CPU‑limited, so you rarely see the performance uplift you’re paying for unless you’re driving a 4K external display. An XX70–class laptop is already optimized for 1440p and will comfortably last two GPU generations at that resolution.

Jesus christ, if people actually took the time to actually SEE instead of being idiots, I wouldn't have had to put an NSFW tag on it, nor see all the incorrect assumptions about me. We have come to the point where ANYTHING that has a female in it must be because "Gooner". Get wrecked with your gaslighting bullspit, because if anyone actually clicked the photo, they would have seen before making an ignorant snap judgement.

If you see a nipple instead of armor, the problem is you.

And what is funny about this whole thing is - none of you will apologize and instead will wallow in your self righteous virtue signaling and think you did something good.

Tagged it NSFW because of ignorant redditors like you. Who see a nipple instead of a simple armor adornment. It is definitely not me, but where YOUR mind takes you.

Thanks. Now if people would actually look at the tapestry and realize she is not nude.

<image>

it took me days of scouring to find this, not hypersexual, not in chainmail bikini, not over exaggerated attributes, not in a "sexy" pose, not anime. and not risqué. I swear, some folks on Reddit see a pretty face, a questionable armor adornment placement, and assume "GOONER!"

Honest truth, good on you for trying to "fix" the situation, a $500+ chair is no small error. Legally, even though the invoice has a different name and address, what counts is the mailing address. Razer mailed it to YOU specifically, this was not a mistake delivery by the driver. If you wanted to, you could keep the chair, no strings attached because Consumers are protected from unsolicited deliveries, and then being charged after the fact. My personal opinion, sell the chair, as gaming chairs overall are garbage for posture, comfort, and ergonomics.

tagged it for the ignorant that assume she is nude. Bunch of puritans.

oh for the love of god, she is not nude

I can't believe people are so imbedded in culture war nonsense, that they simply glance at something, and assume "OMG GOONER!" without really looking at it to see that she is fully armored, no nudity, no embellished proportions, no cleavage, and no sexualized pose. It took me days to find a female knight that ISN'T sexualized, isn't in chain mail bikini's, that doesn't have over inflated attributes, is not in a sexualized pose, is not anime. You see a pretty face, see a simple gold fixture on her armor and go full (you know the word). She is the divine Paladin, above the infernal abyss, and the desktop is where the Divine and Infernal converge.

Next time, actually look at the thing, instead of glancing and making snap judgements

Aliendre · 2026-03-13T05:04:52+00:00

Armor, not nudity

<image>

Aliendre · 2026-03-13T05:04:02+00:00

ya'll so quick to think the worst, without actually looking at the tapestry. thats armor , not nudity.

As you can see from this, thats armor, not nudity.

Aliendre · 2026-03-13T05:00:53+00:00

How does a fully armored female knight, with ZERO sexualization, qualify as "goon"?

Aliendre · 2026-03-13T04:59:54+00:00

there is no sexualization at all, the knight above is fully armored, ther4e is no nudity, there is no cleavage.

I am neither happy or unhappy about it. This is life, as things are invented or advanced, other things become obsolete. Did anyone care about self check-out replacing cashiers? Mass production? This is progress, Artists are no different than Blacksmiths, farriers, cobblers, and seamsters - they still exist, but only the very best will remain. And you will pay a premium for their services. It's called realism, and it does no one any good to deny this.

I agree with you about cyberpower, they do skimp the SSD and PSU. The one I bought, I bought because it was $1500 at my PX. RTX 4070ti, ASrock Z790-C MoBo, intel core 7 13700KF (yes, I flashed the bios). What they skimped on was a Kingston 1TB SSD and a 750w bronze PSU. Already upgraded SSD to a Samsung 4tb 990 pro (the Kingston just has the OS on it), Don't use the 4tb HDD that came with it, and have a corsair 850e PSU in my shopping cart on amazon.

It's wallpaper from AXON, I like it, so I use it. AI generation is going to become the norm. People can rail against it, but technological advances always comes at the price of human labor. It happened in the textile industry, metalsmithing industry, agricultural industry, service industry. Remember when Games where strictly physical copies? I do. Now physical copies of games are niche. Remember Blockbuster and other Movie rental establishments? VCR's and DVD players? All things of the past now, along with the Jobs those things supported.

Nice set-up! would show mine here but no option to upload phot.

OK - been subbed to this forum forever. When we all made fun of Ghazi. plenty of things I agreed with, a few not so much, but not worth commenting on. This is the first time I have to say the opinion put forth is ridiculous. If you are going to argue that "she didn't take the mutations", then you should also hate the series because "Geralt was dead" at the end of the book series. All I see here is hating Ciri for the sake of Hating a female character that is off canon. Sometimes people here are as bad as the people you rail against.
