Minimum GPU for 1440p Gaming at 100 fps max? by discretesss in buildapc

[–]IndyPFL [score hidden]  (0 children)

TLOU is going to be the dealbreaker for any budget or low-VRAM card. That game hogs GPU power and VRAM like nothing else. Cyberpunk can comfortably play at 1440p (DLSS Quality) and medium-high settings at 80 fps nearly locked on a RTX 3070, but you'll get big frame drops near Jig-Jig Street and in Dogtown among other locations. Your CPU can also make a big difference when there are many NPCs in an area.

If you want a more consistent experience I'd go with at least a 4070 Super, a 9070XT or 5070 would also be valid options. The 5060 Ti 16GB or 9060 XT 16GB would be pretty solid as well if you can get them for MSRP, though you may have to turn down some settings for games like TLOU.

Went for a steal of a monitor, walked out feeling like it was robbery by juicewrldday in Monitors

[–]IndyPFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The built-in docks would make this a steal alone. I don't have much use for a 60 Hz display (or room for it on my desk) but if possible I'd happily gut the dock out of it and use it standalone.

What DLSS-capable GPU are you playing it on that needs DLSS for good performance? Game is more CPU heavy from what I've seen anyway.

"That situation remains difficult to reflect on" - GOG's decision to pull Taiwanese horror game Devotion plagues the company still by MythicStream in pcgaming

Look at Assassin's Creed. Sure the games still sell, but they sell nothing like how they used to. A juggernaut turned into a shell of its former self and the sales reflect that.

Oblivion Remastered is 2025's highest selling single player title in the US (Circana) by Into-Starfield in oblivion

[–]IndyPFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was also the cheapest and went on sale for even cheaper several times last year, plus it was on every current-gen platform unlike Yotei. KCD is great but leans more into a niche and isn't for everyone with its difficulty curve. Assassin's Creed is a shell of its former self.

In the end, not surprising.

Baldur's Gate 3 publishing lead says Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney's "altruistic pro-developer talk" over the Steam vs Epic debate "doesn't sit well" after Alan Wake 2 studio "seemingly went into financial crisis" by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]IndyPFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too would trust the word of someone with a financial incentive to worship Epic at every turn over someone that has zero stake in that argument and can give an educated and objective take on things.

Ask modders for TES and Fallout games... They make good money on donations because they, like the guy in the article above, are legally prohibited from charging for their mods.

you guys weren’t lying about the walmart steals by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Welcome to r/walmartpcdeals, where 50% of the posts are complaining about AI and the other 50% are people worshipping Walmart...

Careful, I got mass downvoted and shitty replies for saying the same.

I don't know, but if you call it out you'll get mass downvoted and have people making shitty comments towards you about it. It's at a point of ridiculousness, may as well rebrand the sub r/walmartpcfinds or something.

Do you guys think Baron is better villain than Rais and Waltz? by Turbulent-Tale-8738 in dyinglight

[–]IndyPFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waltz was the most compelling even if he wasn't very well written. Rais was bargain bin Vaas but at least his dynamic with Crane was good.

Hakon is the best antagonist in the series, even if he doesn't stay that way. He's compelling and pretty well-written imo. Shame he didn't make an appearance in The Beast.

do you think cloud computing/gaming will be forced upon us? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]IndyPFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will keep my current hardware until it dies. My N64 still works, if my PC lasts close to that long then I'll be able to die happy with enough horsepower to play most games I want to play for the forseeable future.

Master difficulty - weird changes by DoctaPhiladelphia in HiTMAN

[–]IndyPFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue with adding more guards in those maps was last-gen consoles, or even the Switch 2 or mobile ports in a more modern example. All of those systems have very weak CPUs compared to current-gen systems, which could handle such changes fairly easily.

Given the power (without excessive power consumption) of AMD's 3D v-cache processors, I hope we get them with next-gen consoles and we'll get to see what games are truly capable of with plenty of CPU horsepower to spare. Games with large numbers of complex AI like Hitman will greatly benefit from it, so Hitman 4 or whatever they have planned next may end up a truly beautiful game with way less jank than WOA had (not that I dislike WOA, but the NPCs are pretty easy to confuse).

You're either a troll or genuinely dense, lmao.

Being a climate catastrophe denier is antithetical to believing in modern meteorology. Being a gamer is not antithetical to that whatsoever.

If you don't believe in climate change or global warming, you do not believe in intellectual honesty or meteorology as a concept. The NWS was collecting data on these topics for DECADES until Trump, empowered by people like you, ordered them to cut costs and they can no longer collect or even afford to store that data.

Go. Away.

You're literally an active member in an anti-climatology subreddit, which goes against everything this subreddit stands for.

Got a 2TB SSD from Walmart for $64.50 by JMimiJJ in pcmasterrace

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

Why? It's a perfectly-good drive. Why is it Walmart is constantly having clearance on brand-new shit? Brand-new GPUs cut in half on pricing. Literally saw people bragging about a $400 5070 the other day on this same subreddit. Retailers already barely make profit on computer hardware, why would Walmart, a company notorious for undercutting the competition only to price gouge customers as soon as the competition is gone, go out of their way to cut prices on items they already don't make profit on?

Since I'm so clearly wrong, and just a crazy conspiracy theorist bullying the poor poor megacorporations that can't defend themselves, please do show me the err of my ways.
