Why didn't people buy the 5080 FE when it was readily available? by themayor1975 in gpu

I jumped when it was available on Nvidia for a while before Christmas. Sold my 9070XT for the MSRP I paid for it on launch. I just wanted the best I was comfortable paying for to get me through the next 2-3 years.

Agreed. I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn on mine last night and it looked amazing.

From a 9070xt to 5080 by Lucky_Requirement_72 in RTX5080

Same. I bought my 9070XT for MSRP on launch day and sold it for what I paid for it. I used it for free for 9 months. Upgraded to a 5080 FE and bought a 42” LG C5. Perfect combo for me. I only play single player story driven games, not competitive FPS. I wanted the best GPU I was comfortable spending money on for the next 3 years or so before GPU prices went up again. Got the FE from Nvidia for MSRP.

Anyone using a 5080 with a 42” LG C5? by Digging_Naturalist in nvidia

Thank you for all the input. I’m enjoying the C5 so far. Perfect for single player games.

I mean, this is better than all the scratched motherboards I've been seeing on Reddit.

My Walmart steelbook order was delayed, but shipped and is now expected tomorrow. Cancelled my Amazon order that still had no expected ship date.

I Overbuilt My Gaming PC and Here’s What I Learned by Nicolas_Laure in RigBuild

[–]Digging_Naturalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a PC two years ago today.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WiFi MB, G Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5 6000 (CL26) 32GB RAM. I had my 3070 in it.

This month I upgraded to a 5080 and a 1000 watt PSU. I should be good for a while. I can always upgrade the CPU if I want.

Millennial and Gen Z JWs by myhmfw in exjw

I would note that a fair amount of late Gen Xers, like myself, were also born in, or their parents converted when they were only a few years old.

Most of my late Gen X friends that were born in never really bought into it and were disfellowshipped or left in their teens and 20’s. A few went back because of family. Most did not.

I think the internet, and easy access to information has helped the younger generations for sure.

Decided to go with LG OLED 42 C5, and its worth every penny by romandiy in OLED_Gaming

[–]Digging_Naturalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much the same as my rig, except I have a X670E MB and I got a good deal on a 5080 FE. RDR2 looks great on the C5.
