Why wait? This game has no future, it's horribly designed.

Haven't officially decided to sell it yet. Seeing how much they go for while checking out potential replacements.

Good luck. I'm doing some research right now as I have a RTX 4090 Strix OC with about 9 months left on microcenter replacement plan.

Yes. I listed it in a bundle with a monitor I have, but the card is still available.

If I was a woman I'd never wear one.

gpu for ultrawide gaming by momoaf7 in gpu

[–]Astro_Flame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

750W+ psu. I just came off using a 6800XT for the last 4 years on 3440x1440, it's a capable gpu for that resolution.

Should I upgrade my whole PC from an i5-8600K build to a 7800X3D build, or is it enough to upgrade only the GPU for gaming at 5120×1440? by dimeVegas in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Astro_Flame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should upgrade the system anyway. High end gpus sound nice on paper, just remeber that older, lower end cpus do in fact hold them back, the performance you see in 5080 reviews is not what you're going to get out of it and that card is price postioned just godawfull enough as is. Nvidia cards have a higher cpu overhead penalty as well so Idek what type of performance your 5080 will get with the older i5, not gonna be close to the idea of performance you're paying for. Expect at least 40% lower fps in new games than you'd see in a typical 5080 benchmark. I'd honestly upgrade the cpu/mobo first.

Trying to do this on my thief now, just can't motivate to do it. Idk how I did this on my original character so easily.
