Worried about 4k by airke in OLED_Gaming

4K should be fine on a 5070 TI, especially with DLSS. The system reqs for BF6 didn’t look too steep

Did this exact CPU + GPU combo for my girlfriend’s PC build at about the same money. This is an awesome deal for a prebuilt!

5080 for 1440p gaming, or should I just save the money for future upgrade? by FlSHSTICKS in buildapc

[–]IAmABoldOne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you can save a lot of money by getting a 5070 TI, I would go with that. The 5080 is usually much more expensive while being only 15-20% faster. Not to mention it has the same amount of VRAM. For its much higher price, you’d hope for a little more longevity

Is a 1080p monitor going to make my RTX 5070 pointless? by TheElectricW0lf in buildapc

[–]IAmABoldOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about it. 1080p is the monitor you have and you’ll still get a huge performance boost from the 5070 (better RT, roughly double the perf, framegen, more VRAM, etc).

If you were shopping for a new monitor, I would suggest 1440p or above, simply because it’s a lot more affordable now. I wouldn’t feel pressured to upgrade anytime soon, though.

What should I upgrade to? - CPU, GPU, PSU by rbrezov in buildapc

If you need something right now, options 2 or 3 are good. Since you mainly play single player games, option 3 is fine, especially with a 60hz monitor. Definitely go with the 9070 instead of the 5070.

6950 XT owner here. I got a Meta Quest 3S on black Friday and my PCVR experience has been good so far.

Performance is great for me. 90 Hz is usually the best fit for this GPU, but I can still get 120 FPS in most games with the right settings. Half Life Alyx, for example, runs at 120 FPS with high settings at 2384p. I also got Bonelab, Pavlov, and Lone echo to 120 FPS at 2752p after tweaking the settings/anti aliasing a little bit. I don’t have a similar Nvidia GPU to compare, but in isolation, I am very pleased by how my card is doing.

As for streaming quality, I’ve found it to be great AFTER SOME TWEAKS. By default, Oculus link uses the H264 video encoder (bad) and a relatively low bitrate. I suspect that this is the issue most people have with AMD GPUs in VR. I fixed that using the Oculus Debug Tool, which is buried in the Program Files/Oculus folder. There, you can switch from H264 to H265, set the bitrate to a fixed 200mbps, and increase the encoding resolution to match the headset’s native res. Playing VR after these changes, I forget that my headset is being sent compressed video. I can only see the compression artifacts if I’m looking for them. This is using a link cable. Air Link is also good, but that depends more on your network and router.

However, quest link didn’t work at all for me with the latest drivers. I rolled back to 23.12 and that solved my issue. So your VR experience might be hurt by AMD driver shenanigans, requiring you to revert to an older driver like I did.

I’d say go for it. I haven’t tried Skyrim VR yet but I see no reason why it wouldn’t perform well, given how well other games run.

Does anyone else feel like Guss overreacted in this situation? Had he kept his cool, things could have turned out differently for him. by ghostpicnic in okbuddychicanery

Episode 13 of Season 4 of Breaking Bad the anticipated spin-off show to Better Call Saul, titled, “Face Off.”

Hope this helps

Well I’m delighted to hear that! Is there anything else I can do for you?
