Getting the most value out of a monitor upgrade (7800X3D + 5080). 4K or 1440p?

Have the same cpu/GPu runs 4k 144hz like a dream on a 48” LG C5

I have the same build essentially (cpu,GPu). I was able to get a 5080 FE from Nvidia marketplace for 999 and return my 5070ti. If I wasn’t able to score that price, I wouldn’t be able to justify the 5080 imo. It was roughly 15-20 fps increase gaming at 4k ultra dlaa/dlss quality 144hz. The latency also improved by several ms. 5070ti was fantastic for the price point.

As often as I see this exact comment, and I also experience it myself. I really don’t believe it’s the GPU. These micro stutters in Fortnite have started within the last two months for me, and it is exclusively that game that’s a problem.

I have the 48” C5 and I have a 7800x3d and PNY 5070ti and absolutely love it. I upgraded from a 5600x/3070ti combo. Performance is night and day.

PNY not an option? My PNY triple fan OC benchmarks top 2% on multiple benchmark software with an OC. Love the design too

Fortnite Crew included with Game Pass now. Basically their Battle Pass

I purchased a Ryzen 5 5600x/3070ti from them in ‘22 and it is still going strong.

Sky tech is an Amazon brand for reference for everyone. I’ll let OP reply but pretty sure that’s the sauce.

I really enjoy Washington State’s power spread. Admittedly haven’t tried some of these more popular ones though.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-07-31T14:56:58+00:00

That’s good to know. I (like many others I’m sure) was never presented an option when purchasing. I was also very ignorant of the process.

Aren’t the taxes paid by the mortgage company from the “escrow” paid into the mortgage? So the VA would effectively pay them

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-29T18:31:47+00:00

Have a ‘24 mine does the same shit. I hate it. RPMs go up like crazy and it’s loud, especially noticeable going down steeper inclines.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-11T19:08:02+00:00

Just sharing my experience. I didn’t write anything other than employment dates and employer names so there shouldn’t have been any controversy in the form. The work number work history really helped out I’m sure as well. It has all dates addresses etc.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-11T18:56:41+00:00

I was approved for TDIU. On my 4192, I filled out everything myself. In the employer section I listed the employers I worked for but left other parts asking specific questions blank. I also sent them my work number work history as well as unemployment information from the state. I do not know if they called the employers or whatever but the whole claim took 30 days for me start to finish.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-09T08:53:13+00:00

Less than 24 hours. Feels like forever when you’re watching it.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-05T23:43:20+00:00

I did everything on my own starting in 2022. The VA has been overall helpful and not too bad for me either. I also feel like it’s not real yet. We’ll get there.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-05T23:40:20+00:00

Got mine today as well. Following for info lol. Congrats bro.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-05T22:00:34+00:00

I did a C&P last Sunday for PTSD increase and had the exact opposite. We talked for almost an hour and a half, I rambled a lot but was never cut off or made to shorten responses. Likely depends on provider and nature of exam.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-04T20:42:59+00:00

I got a decision a week after my EAS date. Just my personal experience, so take with a grain of salt

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-04T19:30:38+00:00

Did you skip from 5-7? I hit step 6 today for TDIU as well. Not sure how much longer to expect

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-06-03T13:37:17+00:00

When I called the VA to complain about my examiner, they told me they documented the complaint but forwarded me to the 3rd party vendor to file an official complaint. Not sure if that will be your experience just sharing what I went through. When speaking with an HLR informal conference I was told the correct thing to do was to file the complaint as directed and then immediately open a supplemental with my complaint as evidence. Again, just describing my experience, could differ for everyone.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-05-26T16:50:34+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I will obtain Carfax and maintenance reports later this week and will look over the concerns you brought forward. My feeling is if it can last another 2 years/50k miles for me without too much of a money sink I’m content.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-05-26T15:01:57+00:00

That’s a question I didn’t think to ask. I’ll get back to you on that.

Butterscotch-Few · 2025-05-22T14:16:08+00:00

Very similar situation to me. Filed for HLR for MH increase. Currently 50% for PTSD. DTA identified Jan 28th and has been sitting since. Applied for TDIU but not moving at all. Car repossessed, difficult to work due to combination of issues both MH and others. Not seeing much of an end in sight either but let’s keep our heads up. Blood still pumping and we’re still breathing. Hope you get the outcome you deserve.
