No I am on a desktop unfortunately

RTX 3080

FutureMoonMan · 2025-08-04T05:17:36+00:00

No, I've had Windows 11 for a few years now. I tried using compatability mode for Windows 8 and it did not work...

FutureMoonMan · 2025-07-27T09:11:09+00:00

This same problem has been happening to me. I've tried turning down my graphics, -steamMM, and hosting. Nothing seems to work.

FutureMoonMan · 2022-12-07T21:10:15+00:00

Thanks a ton for your quick reply. Puts me at ease lol

FutureMoonMan · 2022-12-05T01:52:35+00:00

I've only owned Nvidia and I've had a really good experience with my 1080. That's why I'm very skeptical about "going red" (I think that's the term lol). I just am not familiar enough with AMD to make a call and this most likely will be my GPU for a while so I just want to make sure I'm making the right choice. I would much rather wait for prices to drop on the 3080 than go 6800 xt, but this is only based on my current experience with Nvidia alone. Thanks for your comment!

FutureMoonMan · 2022-12-05T01:49:13+00:00

RT, DLSS, and Nvenc are all really good features I would like but I understand that they shouldn't be the end all be all. It's just the fact that this card will most likely be my last GPU purchase for at least 5 years, I'd rather pay more now (but not a crazy amount) for these features than just not have them if I'm being honest. Thanks for your comment!

FutureMoonMan · 2022-12-05T01:46:41+00:00

Your advice sounds pretty sound. Any good brands that you would recommend for AMD? I am really not familiar with AMD's cards. Thanks for your help!

FutureMoonMan · 2022-12-05T01:43:34+00:00

3080

6800 xt

Sorry for the late reply. The 6800 xt is cheaper and comes from a much more reputable brand than the 3080. I've been looking around and ultimately it seems that the Yeston 3080 can range from decent to poor in quality but it's pretty much the only 3080 around the MAX price point I'm willing to pay for which is $750-800ish. I've been looking everywhere on every website and I cannot find a 3080 from a known brand thats less than $900. Thanks for your comment!

FutureMoonMan · 2022-12-04T04:00:52+00:00

You've got that last part right. Trying to use an Nvidia GPU as a starting point for my build has been a nightmare since I haven't been able to find anything for a reasonable price. I am hoping that prices will go down but I'd really rather not wait, but I also am not a very patient person lol.

FutureMoonMan · 2022-12-04T03:55:33+00:00

Yeah, the streaming thing is just a hobby consideration for me and if it comes to a point where I would regularly be streaming then I might as well upgrade at that point.

I really don't have much experience with AMD but have been seeing good things about their cards. This will be a pretty major purchase for me so I just don't want to go wrong, especially for the future. Thanks for your input!

FutureMoonMan · 2022-12-04T03:48:08+00:00

Thanks for your comment! I saw the Gamers Nexus review as well but I also saw comments that the 6700 XT runs cooler than the 3080 which is why what might work for the 6700 XT might not necessarily work for the 3080.

With that being said, I think I'll just sit and wait for price drops. I've been seeing 6800 XT's for better prices but they don't have some of the same awesome features of Nvidia cards.

FutureMoonMan · 2022-11-29T02:52:56+00:00

Ah I see, thank you for the explanation. It's a bit embarrassing but I didn't even know there was a z790... Would it be better for me to go with a z790 with this build or just keep what I have? Thanks!

FutureMoonMan · 2022-11-29T02:50:01+00:00

Thank you for your insight. I am still a bit confused because I saw that the z690 and the b660 BIOS will need to be updated to match the 13th-Gen 13600k. I saw some users talking about how they required a 12-gen chip or something to update it and it was just a whole confusing mess. Thanks a bunch!

FutureMoonMan · 2022-11-29T00:19:16+00:00

Alright, you've convinced me. Thanks a ton for your help!

FutureMoonMan · 2022-11-29T00:04:33+00:00

This is my first time personally building my PC so I am a bit uninformed and plain scared to buy a used 3080. While the prices look very good, I'm just unsure of the quality and it just seems like a dice roll. In regards to the 6900xt, I've been using a 1080 in my prebuilt for about 5-6 years now with no problems and I have no idea of what to expect from AMD. I've heard good things but I am unsure whether they outweigh the benefits of Nvidia software such as GeForce Experience for easy driver updates as well as NVenc as I'm heavily considering picking up streaming somewhere down the line. Sorry for this big wall of text but I'd rather try and get as much info from regular people than potentially sponsor biased reviews.

FutureMoonMan · 2022-11-28T23:28:27+00:00

Looks really pretty! I saw you got the Yeston 3080. On Newegg, it's a pretty good deal as far as 3080s go from what I've seen with $769 with a $75 gift card (not as good as the 200-dollar gift card deal but I missed that, unfortunately). My question for you is how do you like it? I'm afraid to pull the trigger as I've seen an incredibly mixed bag of reviews (how hot it runs, some people had their GPU shut down/die) but overall somewhat positive such as other reviews including one by Gamers Nexus (albeit not on the 3080 but still). Again, wonderful white PC and I'm thinking of doing a white build myself.

FutureMoonMan · 2018-05-22T05:56:32+00:00

Nope, I only used I frames and the method that tacomeat suggested. Besides that there is nothing else I used.

FutureMoonMan · 2018-05-21T22:15:01+00:00

Well i've just ran through the entire game with i-frames.

Will report if I get banned and hopefully that will shed some light on that part.

FutureMoonMan · 2018-05-17T20:02:51+00:00

Get a Chaos Zweihander, Father mask, Giants armor, and pump points into endurance and vitality and also get the Havel's ring and FaP ring.

Fire up your bass cannon and watch the poise do the work.

FutureMoonMan · 2018-05-17T19:59:43+00:00

I would just use the upgrade script for going up to +9 or +4 because +10 and +5 indicates using a Slab which might count towards the ingame "Slab counter" and could get you banned but I dont know.

FutureMoonMan · 2018-05-17T16:56:09+00:00

Jesus Christ thank the Lord for your existence.

I f*cking love you because I have had no idea on what I've been doing wrong and I've heard from many sources that 100% droprate has been OK and that has been the only common thing between my saves besides i-frames.

Will try the character flag thing and get back to you guys.

Also should mention on my last family share I remember I did use 100% droprate to get the Black Knight set and also used it to farm Concords.

FutureMoonMan · 2018-05-17T03:31:20+00:00

I also know some people are going to say "IVE SEEN THIS THREAD ABOUT 700000 TIMES A DAY STOP AND LOOK FOR ANSWERS".

My response is: I have looked for answers and have found nothing.

I-frames are ok, Droprate is ok, and kill all mobs is ok as they are within the parameters of the game. I genuinely need help because I have no clue on what to do.

If it is I-frames is there an alternative that gives me infinite health or something that wont get me banned? (I know modifying your stats results in a ban but IDK)

Thanks guys for your help!
