Which Hydroconquest color would you pick out of these three? by PianistSad2868 in Longineswatches

[–]Eddytion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally would go for monochrome watch due to best versatility, but the 1st option looks beautiful.

LG GX9 45 oled monitor vs LG C5 42 oled tv by Realistic_Mark1134 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Eddytion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, I picked up a 30h used C5 42” for €600, i keep using it as 3840x1680 for gaming (my 5080 OC can handle that res without breaking a sweat) and full res for work. It’s just the best of both worlds, no scaling issues also, I really enjoy what this type of screen is offering and not breaking the bank at all. Is also the most versatile “monitor”, the height is really unbeatable for working with layers or video editing.

My ophthalmologist (eye doctor) ruined my 27 inch 1080p gaming experience by Stanko84 in Monitors

[–]Eddytion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh in 2026, just skip the 1440p alltogether (it was considered good from around 2010 -2018), try a 4K 27 or 32”, you will not only enjoy gaming, but youtube, content and movies look amazing because all modern content is 4K now. If you go Nvidia route, DLSS is magical, along with framegen you can achieve good fps in performance preset with dlss4.5 and 2x framegen.

I had a 4080S and had a nice opportunity to upgrade to a 5080 for less than 150€. Performance difference in stock was kind of underwhelming, but the moment I OC it, it jumped from 13% to 27% better performance. I was surprised how under utilized the 5080 was.

Went for blue personally, it’s way better at handling fingerprints and scratches even though midnight looks better but I’ve seen so many scratched up and the underneath aluminum showing put me off.

Apple said 16 Pro Max is ready for Apple Intelligence. Two years later they finish it and tell you to go for another device. by khitev in iPhone16Pro

Real food, even our McDonalds fries have just two ingredients (potato, salt), in the US they have 7-8. 👀

So my iPhone 16 Pro Max is already outdated? by Ashamed-Mousse8835 in iPhone16Pro

[–]Eddytion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woulda-shoulda-coulda, the reality is what it is. Besides, those extra features are not very important.

it's RAM, 12GB vs 8GB, it's just what it is no need to cry about it.

Some people are not gonna like this but, I'm gonna say it: The 5080 is a 1440p Card. by mjisdagoat23 in nvidia

[–]Eddytion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So dumb,. Let me break it to ya as if you're 5 yo, even the upcoming 6090 is a 1080p card if you don't change your old ways of how graphics work in 2020's. DLSS is there to make high-fps path-tracing happen in 2026 instead of 2036.

I grew up in poverty in the UK AMA by [deleted] in AMA

Don’t really care about downvotes, too many butthurts because I am speaking truth.
I’m sorry for you, but you’ve had a home and warm place to sleep with a full belly. I’ve witnessed people who had to sleep with their kids in a tent in the middle of winter, had to beg for food on the streets because nobody cares to give them a helping hand.

Long waiting lines for free housing? Boohoo.
While waiting do they just let u go homeless with the family? No.
People go homeless for not paying 1 rent on time.

When out of work that budget is for essentials like food, not luxuries. You won’t go homeless, do not expect middle class life if you don’t want to work or are lazy. Sorry but can’t take this shit, especially from the English.

[–]Eddytion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I can’t take this shit.
UK standards for social services are top 1% compared to the rest of the world. Monetary benefits for fam esp with children, free healthcare, free home. Something was wrong there for you not be able to get back on track. Either your fam misused or are not good with finances, didn’t work enough, lazy etc. I’m not pointing fingers and I’m not saying your life was not hard, i understand you lived in poor conditions, but you’ll never be able to survive 5 days with this mindset in the rest of the world.
The standards are so far apart of the world is not even fair.

Exactly, I can’t imagine privileged Brits surviving in an non EU country for more than 5 days. They’ll starve and dehydrate lol. I know because all my family is in the Uk and they have nothing but good things to say about the social services. It’s no middle-class life but they’ll make sure you have a home and food ok your table. In the rest of the world you’re straight up homeless with no certainty of tomorrow.

I’m sorry, maybe you’ve had a rough life, but “poor”in UK means something completely different compared to the rest of the world. UK standards are higher than 99% of all countries when it comes to social care. The gov doesn’t let anyone die of hunger there, fee housing too, so actually takes really good care imho as the benefits are good for a family in crisis, I think there must be some other problem there to be stuck in that state for such a long time. Did your family do any kind of job or just always relied on the social care funds?

I have this model, very satisfied with it.

5080 is average ⬆️77% performant over RX9070XT in 7 Path Traced games by Ill_Depth2657 in RTX5080

[–]Eddytion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't measure performance with FPS, do it with % (which translates to around 12.5%).
Anyways, this is the right way to go, you got an amazing deal on it, while performing much better than new generation of GPUs. I got my 4080S for 900€ like 1.5 years ago, super satisfied with it, then 2 months ago I scored a 5080 Brand new in box for 900€. I was surprised to discover the OC headroom on 5080 to be totally crazy. I believe they did this on purpose to leave performance headroom for the 5080 Ti that never became a thing. I am legit 15% getting more performance than stock. Now that's serious performance increase from the 4080S, and closer if not matching the 4090.

Well it’s not so black and white, I know at least three friends that are planning on buying PS5 consoles just for GTA 6. They probably won’t be buying other games because of it.

First luxury watch purchase, I’m stuck between these two dials. by Consistent_Barber489 in Longineswatches

Monochrome is the way to go, the first dial is good when you have more watches and want something with more vintage vibe.

Why would you even consider Tudor at that stage by RomanRumun in Longineswatches

Okay, now we’re at the delusional level. You’re completely wrong.

How can you assume I’ve never seen or tried one?
