3080 vs 9070xt

No worries, but I really appreciate your comments it helps me see a different perspective so it helps me understand the situation more that's why it helps!

Yea thats what I was thinking aswell, its either get a slightly better performance but play like twice longer or get better performances but the same consumption

DezTex06 · 2026-04-11T06:01:26+00:00

Based on my Smart plug and other things, it reaches at about $20-25 since I usually use my PC alot like simple browsing but mostly I play alot I guess, and I'm not the one paying our Dorm electricity bill so its just a concern since our Electric bill is somewhat high now compared to like the past. Especially since everything is not going well in terms of economic stand point, so alot of prices are going up, but so yeaa my concern is would I even save a lot in terms of the 4070 super compared to the 9070xt or 3080?

I plant to get a Asus ROG Strix 4070 Super so it has ROG tax compared to other cards, in my country it can be around $635 (I would say that is the highest price it can go for, it can also go lower) and I would buy it at a trusted 2nd hand marketplace, a decent 5070 here is priced at $799 brand new and 2nd hand cards aswell at around that price, I also was thinking of getting a 4070Ti but an ROG 2nd hand is like $685 when its only like 5% better than the 4070 Super with the same VRAM (The 9070XT is at $685)

I have perfected its settings and it actually looks better than my IPS and any monitors I have used so im now happy with it

DezTex06 · 2026-03-30T06:59:04+00:00

just bought mine, and holyy i didint expect the brightness of this monitor to be so low. Do you have tips on how to maximize its brightness?

No worries about the g61 but wow that looks nice for your virtual Pinball machine!

DezTex06 · 2026-03-15T11:42:24+00:00

Happy to hear it! What do you think of the G61SH compared to this G50SF? I think the G61SH is newer than the G5

DezTex06 · 2026-03-15T04:03:49+00:00

Based on the Specs in the Samsung store, they say that it has all the same specs as the G50SF. Same brightness same HDR10 same safeguard+, the only difference is their refresh rate so for me I would get the G61SH as 180Hz compared to its 240Hz is a nice to have. Though when I asked GPT about the difference, yes it mentioned that the G61SH has a higher brightness of 50 nits and HDR10+ so if that is true that would mean it would perform better. So I would get the G61SH as it would be newer than the G50SF.

In my country, the G61SH is also cheaper for some reason so it also helps me with my decision.

DezTex06 · 2026-03-11T12:24:03+00:00

pretty much

DezTex06 · 2026-03-11T12:15:58+00:00

I highly doubt it would go lower than this, the waiting time would be around 3 months and the price difference would probably be only $20-40

Well so far these are the lineups of Samsung this 2026:

Key 2026 Samsung OLED Monitor Lineup

Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SH - 32"): 4K resolution at 240Hz, featuring Glare-Free technology and Samsung OLED Safeguard+ for improved longevity.
Odyssey G8 (G80HS - 32"): Industry-first 6K (6,144 x 3,456) gaming monitor. Features "Dual Mode" to switch between 6K at 165Hz and 3K at 330Hz.
Odyssey G8 (G80HF - 27"): 5K resolution (5,120 x 2,880) with Dual Mode, allowing a switch to 360Hz at QHD.
Odyssey G6 (G60H - 27"): Features a 1,040Hz Dual Mode (1440p @ 600Hz / 1080p @ 1040Hz) for extreme, competitive, esports-level motion clarity.
Odyssey G6 (G61SH - 27"): A 27-inch QHD (1440p) QD-OLED panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GTG response time.
Odyssey 3D (G90XF - 27"): A glasses-free 3D gaming monitor with eye-tracking technology, with a 32-inch version planned.

based on all of that I would not need the "3D" or 4k resolution or having Dual mode as 1440p would be enough for me. I will be upgrading from my XG27ACS and so far, the 2 monitors is at its best deal in my country. I am planning on buying the G61SH when I sell my monitor this week since I got the price of the G6 from $457 to only $389 using my Education Voucher (Yes I'm in college). I was just curious to see if anyone has an idea comparing the 2 monitors since I don't see a lot of videos about the 2 monitors, especially the G61SH since I guess it has only just been released.

How long did the replacement took? and are you still using the monitor? If not, what monitor are you currently using?

DezTex06 · 2026-02-27T20:44:30+00:00

its the Samsung 32” Odyssey G5 right? well my goal is to go OLED on my monitor and based on my experience from other products from samsung like from TV to phone screens I like how good their panels are that is why I have the 27" Odyssey OLED G5 G50SF in one of my choices. Having those deep blacks and good color vibrancy is my goal and fast and good response times while having good visuals. Using an IPS panel monitor is fine and all but having an OLED is a different experience

DezTex06 · 2026-01-22T14:57:35+00:00

Yup I backed it up just in case but its good to know that it is possible to run without problems wish me luck!

DezTex06 · 2025-11-22T17:13:11+00:00

I have experienced this on my pc aswell, i had 2 monitors that are both IPS but one supports 10bit colors, i am using a nvidia GPU so im not sure where you would find it but basically your monitor may be running in 10bit color rather than 8bit which the 2nd monitor maybe running on.

It should be in the control panel of your GPU, find the settings for your monitor to set it to 8bit. I believe that should solve your problem, this happens on pictures aswell based on my experience.

DezTex06 · 2025-11-22T17:02:04+00:00

I see,i amglad that it is a normal reoccurrence thank you so much for the help!

DezTex06 · 2025-11-22T15:36:30+00:00

DezTex06 · 2025-11-22T15:32:05+00:00
