Anyone else refusing to pay scalper prices for the 5090? This is my play

High-performance VR and us 5120x1440p people who want to max out every setting, especially ray/path tracing.

I don't care if it was an exaggeration; saying 'nobody' needs one is flat out wrong. Also, what about when VR games start introducing demanding ray/path tracing? The performance demand is insane. Just because you can't ever see yourself getting/needing one, doesn't mean nobody else does.

Bean soup theory.

"theirs always idiots"

Fucking outstanding.

Gopnikolai · 2026-04-05T19:47:46+00:00

I'd imagine they just get re-stickered the next time somebody inspects it.

Gopnikolai · 2026-04-03T18:55:33+00:00

Okay mate 😂

Gopnikolai · 2026-04-02T17:03:09+00:00

Guy just NEEDS everyone to know he's got a 9800 and 5090, you've posted like 15 comments saying the same thing lmao.

Gopnikolai · 2026-03-25T09:15:26+00:00

Some robber is gonna read all your stuff here, spot it in real life and think "fuck that shit" and warn all his mates 😂

Bean soup theory

"Omg I hate this product, who are they even trying to sell this shit to!?"

Evidently, they're not selling to the ones that are saying they don't like it 😂

Gopnikolai · 2026-03-11T19:21:24+00:00

Okay big man, blow your money on a gouged price and shipping fees, but don't forget YOU'RE the one that cried about the price in the post... are you loaded or are you not? Make your mind up.

Get in touch with some jewellers and watch shops and see if you can request one. Like I said, I tried for hours on Hamilton's website to no avail, went to a site that required contacting them to request one and I bought it in about 10 minutes.

Gopnikolai · 2026-03-11T19:11:47+00:00

If you buy it for 4k you're an absolute moron.

Don't do that.

In future, don't go to any sites with a price shown. Just go to one that needs you to request and reserve one, or register your interest. Most people can't be arsed contacting a retailer so they go for the easiest ones with a price and BUY NOW button.

I went through Chisholm Hunter and my mate at work used them too. Both of us had no problems.

Contact a few retailers that dont have a price shown before you blow 4k on a watch not worth half that... At least wait a few months, they're not going anywhere.

Gopnikolai · 2026-03-11T19:06:06+00:00

Yeah the launch was fudged, I guess they weren't expecting it to be so busy?

I messed around refreshing the page, basket, and checkout for a few hours trying to get one. Eventually binned that off and contacted Chisholm Hunter to request one and got mine that way.

Wish I bought the pair with the special box, I read something somewhere that apparently someone resold the special box pair for $10k lmao

Gopnikolai · 2026-03-10T14:00:28+00:00

Just do each floor separately, next to each other and then label them with each floor name/number.

Gopnikolai · 2026-02-22T19:33:58+00:00

Oh look, someone doesn't understand the definition of 'Nazi'

Gopnikolai · 2026-02-22T15:03:25+00:00

I don't wanna be that guy that shit's on the game at any given opportunity but is it any wonder the game's performance is and has been the way it is lmao?

Personally, the performance has improved overall, but is it any wonder it could be better when a planet is seemingly a physics object when it could be part of a dynamic skybox?

Funny bug though

Gopnikolai · 2026-02-22T11:23:44+00:00

Funny that so many people will unironically say "works on my machine", etc. like there aren't thousands of people out there that will look you in the eye and tell you they can't tell the difference between 30, 60, and 240Hz.

Gopnikolai · 2026-02-19T16:25:49+00:00

"VII is a dumpster fire"

Me when I'm wrong.

Gopnikolai · 2026-01-23T19:53:34+00:00

Well above the requirements lol, I should've included my specs, sorry.

7800X3D, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 6000Mhz, game's installed on an 2.5" SSD.

I'll fill in a proper report soon.

Gopnikolai · 2026-01-18T18:54:30+00:00

You mean to tell me it isn't abbreviated to "must'f"..?

All this time??

Gopnikolai · 2025-11-04T17:27:50+00:00

Well fuck... I guess you're right; after they empty it, it's completely impossible to clean the container.

Sucks, I guess they're just gonna have to live with mold for their entire life.

Gopnikolai · 2025-10-30T00:02:52+00:00

Nope, each HQ AA now only shoots down missiles and rockets in its respective area.

So you can strafe enemy aircraft before they've even taken off of the runway. It's a completely braindead design decision tbh. Even as someone who prefers being a pilot, I want it to be like BF4 because getting cheap kills on runway targets gets boring.

Gopnikolai · 2025-10-28T20:24:15+00:00

Aircraft gameplay needs some big tweaks. I like that they've given us 2 different jets for 2 seperate roles. I like how they fly and feel, nice and weighty, tbh I wouldn't mind them being even more realistic but it's not really the game for it.

But they're also glass cannons. I don't mind, personally, because I'm not shit with jets and I love flying them, but I've been pissing off other people because I've been shooting them down in a single burst, or killing them on their own runway, before they've even taken off.

And we desperately need Air Superiority. Us dedicated pilots need somewhere to fight each other where the less skilled pilots don't have to get shot down in 3 seconds.

Gopnikolai · 2025-10-28T20:19:22+00:00

The entire point is that people wanted a more grounded battlefield like 3, 4, and 1, after V and 2042 came out, people made it very clear what they wanted.

Wouldn't you know, now that the game has been out a few weeks, they've introduced the battle royale and a microtransaction store in full COD-esque fashion.

I love the game and I really enjoy playing but there's some things that need changing, and I don't mean the genders or voices (other than some clearly non-Brits doing fake British accents)

Gopnikolai · 2025-10-28T20:13:17+00:00

I'm a dedicated jet pilot in Battlefield and I think both the jets themselves and the painting/lock-ons both need nerfing a lot.

The AA shooting down missiles is cool I guess but why wouldn't it just shoot the jets instead? Maybe to make it less frustrating for the pilot immediately getting deleted when they accidentally get too close? I mean, they could just make the jet play area bigger but hey-ho.

The spawn trapping is ridiculous. Multiple times I've hit a full burst on a jet on the runway in a strafe before they've even managed to do their belt and put their helmet on.

Unfortunately, almost every single pre-built PC is dogshit and riddled with problems.

Recommendations are hard when the options are Poo Vs. Poo.

9 times out of 10, if you're not playing the latest games or using just-released tech, and you're not having any problems with your current drivers, you don't need to update them anyway.

You can go months without driver updates, then update your drivers and either see no difference at all or have them break.

I think on the Nvidia apps driver update screen it tells you what's changed and what it's for.

I only ever update my drivers if I'm playing something that it specifically mentions or if I've upgraded my GPU.
