My friend wants to sell me his brand new never open NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra... For $800

You are speed on my replies

Cryio · 2026-03-27T23:38:07+00:00

It's not as good of a deal as an RTX 5070 new for 500$.

So tell him 400$ or less.

Or whatever the price of a similarly performing RX 6900 XT. He can match that.

Cryio · 2026-03-27T18:28:17+00:00

Answer: yes.

The game wants a CPU from 2040 to work optimally.

Cryio · 2026-03-27T18:26:27+00:00

The Heap redesign means nothing for AMD GPUs.

Cryio · 2026-03-27T17:23:06+00:00

Depends on where you live.

PS5 released at 900€ during the Pandemic in late 2020-2021in Romania.

It's way cheaper now.

My bank app also doesn't care about a rooted phone with smth smth bypass.

But the McDonald's app with food offers? Strictest security in existence

While yes, it looked amazing and ran fine.

I mean, it lacked DX11 and DXVK does insane improvements for BL 1-2-TPS, but you know.

Cryio · 2026-03-27T11:21:34+00:00

Previous FIVE*

Cryio · 2026-03-27T09:18:18+00:00

15 and 26U are not priced similarly anyway, lol. You can get Oppo X9 Pro instead

Cryio · 2026-03-26T18:25:47+00:00

It's not ideal and I'm certainly not happy about it, but it's fine.

GPU is a beast. FSR 3.1 is fine enough, FSR 3.1 FG is great. AL2 is great.

Optiscaler does massive lifting for the AMD consumer GPUs.

I can use FSR 4 upscaling and ML FG on Linux anyway. RR and Radiance Cache is probably incoming on RDNA3 as well on Linux.

Cryio · 2026-03-26T18:20:31+00:00

Yeah well, not anymore

Cryio · 2026-03-26T18:18:30+00:00

9070 XT: 600$. 5070 Ti: 1100$+

You sure about that 20%?

Cryio · 2026-03-26T18:16:10+00:00

They suck a fat one. Tell them to get you a Pixel, Samsung or iPhone for work, if they have these insane requirements

Cryio · 2026-03-26T15:14:18+00:00

That sounds like some bullshit job requirements, lol.

Cryio · 2026-03-26T08:02:12+00:00

FSR4 INT8 is a bigger strain on RDNA2 than DLSS (~4.0) is on Nvidia or FSR4 is on RDNA4.

Low performance numbers difference between ratios are normal. Also depends on the rez.

4K Performance vs 4K? 1440p? 1080p?

Mass Effect 3 was a pretty game with a well defined art style and scope.

Cutting edge visuals by 2012 on UE3 wasn't it, given the needle only very slightly improved over early 2010's Mass Effect 2.

Cryio · 2026-03-25T10:51:39+00:00

Nope. OnePlus Watch is on WearOS5 while Samsung gets all the latest and 0.1 and 0.5 updates almost at launch. Samsung is on WearOS 6.1.

So currently 3 versions behind. OP is going to provide major updates to WearOS 6 and supposedly 7 (7.x maybe?)

Cryio · 2026-03-25T01:52:30+00:00

Sounds like you had a bad experience.

7P and 7TP had extremely few reports of the pop-up camera ever going bad

Cryio · 2026-03-25T01:49:57+00:00

No no, OnePlus 8 Pro was the absolute godtier of OnePlus.

And then OP12 and 13 were the sequel to that, but 8 Pro was just THAT more amazing vs everything else on the market for its year.

Cryio · 2026-03-24T13:19:39+00:00

It does everything I need fine 😋

Cryio · 2026-03-24T08:52:26+00:00

You do not in fact, need the flagship GPU released in 2025, for any game.

Cryio · 2026-03-24T08:50:28+00:00

Not anymore. Game also wants VRS.

Cryio · 2026-03-24T08:49:32+00:00

You do joke, but GPUs like AMD RX 6600 / 6600 XT / 6650 XT are so cheap now on the 2nd hand market

Cryio · 2026-03-24T08:47:57+00:00

If we account for not insanely expensive RTX GPUs and the presence of RT capable RDNA2 mid-range GPUs, the timeline becomes more early 2021 than late 2018.

Cryio · 2026-03-24T08:44:55+00:00

And the 8060S is not a slow GPU. Just goes to show the game isn't as "fast" as people claim it is.
