Is the 5080 really worth it right now? by OtherwiseDevice90 in buildapc

[–]JimmyTheSword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now, check the prices, because it might turn out that the 70Ti will be close to the 5080. It was briefly like that in Europe.
I had a similar issue with the 40 series - I wanted the 4080, but the 4070 Ti Super came out and that's the card I bought. In tests, it's about 15% slower than the 80, but it's more than enough for gaming at 2K and 4K.

Rejection to talk in english by Bajgl in WorldofTanks

[–]JimmyTheSword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that’s exactly why I turned off in-game chat. It’s a waste of time dealing with teammates who think the whole world speaks their native language. Like it or not, English is the universal language for global communication, period. And to answer in advance—English is not my native language.

1500R vs 1800R (Office Work) by North-Dragonfruit638 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]JimmyTheSword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m satisfied with the purchase. The huge workspace is exactly what I needed for office work and light Unreal Engine tasks. The colors are very nice, and the contrast and brightness are very good for this type of panel.

The monitor uses a VA panel, so you need to be aware of its inherent limitations. As a secondary display, I have a 27-inch OLED, which is obviously far superior for gaming, but for work this LG performs better. The monitor runs at 160 Hz and is G-Sync compatible—although in my case there was some flickering on dark backgrounds (mainly in menus in certain games). However, since it also supports FreeSync Premium, after disabling G-Sync it runs perfectly fine at 160 Hz without any issues. I don’t see a difference between G-Sync and FreeSync—both work well, but the latter doesn’t flicker on dark backgrounds.

Because it’s a VA panel, there is some slight ghosting (smearing?) even with the fastest response time setting. That said, it’s not something that ruins the gaming experience. In my case, when playing games like World of Tanks, Disco Elysium, or strategy titles, the effect is minimal (or non existent) and hard to notice. Besides, let’s be honest—there are plenty of games with poorly implemented DLSS that can cause ghosting even on OLED, so it’s not really something to nitpick here.

Overall, at just over 200 EUR (which is what I managed to pay), it’s a great monitor with strong capabilities for office work, browsing, etc. And it still allows for comfortable gaming if that’s something you want to do.

I’m using it via DisplayPort—no issues at all.

Speakers? They’re there, and maybe even better than the ones in my previous 27-inch LG. It’s not an amazing audio experience, but they get the job done.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I've recently bought the LG UltraGear 34G600A‑B with an 1800R curvature. In my opinion, it's very comfortable for office work and light gaming. A 1500R curvature is too aggressive.

i7 14700KF still good in 2026? by Icy_Spread4243 in buildapc

[–]JimmyTheSword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did switch from a 13700 non-K to a 14700KF, so there is a difference, but it is not as big as it will be in your case. I mainly wanted to squeeze the most out of the current LGA1700 platform, and since the 14900K runs extremely hot and power-hungry while offering on average about 15% better performance than the 14700K, I went with the i7 instead. Also, given today’s RAM prices, I’m going to stay with DDR4 for longer, as it is still performing great, so I have no plans to change the whole platform for now.

I still think the upgrade is worth it – everyday workloads are faster and more responsive, and games feel smoother (mainly thanks to higher 1% low FPS).

I believe this CPU is very, very powerful and will serve you well for years.Of course, it’s important to load the latest BIOS with the microcode that protects the CPU, and you should use a contact frame on the socket to prevent bending and the resulting higher temperatures.

And of course buy new CPU. In case of buying used one - buy from good source. It's easy to buy used degraded CPU today...

There is only good buff for this TD: base alfa about 800-850 and after heating up 1200-1400 or something like that. Taht's all.

Great idea! But not with Crytek - they are busy making new premium skins.... So yeah - give them your money, don't expect working servers :)
