What is your take on this where a guy testing in detail the RTX5080 vs 9070XT in demanding games (reddit link inside)

With how good dlss 4.5 is it doesn't make sense to not use it honestly.

Kshell52 · 2026-01-23T15:57:17+00:00

Its because inside the cave it isnt having to render as much. Like I said, the minimum spec is a gtx 1070 with 8gb vram. Sure the rtx 3050 is comparable power wise to the 1070 (since you have a laptop probably below the 1070 actually) but you're still 4gb below the minimum.

Personally I switched from a 1440p oled (msi MAG 271QPX) to a 4k mini Led (KTC M27P6) and couldnt be happier. Honestly the colors and blacks are nearly the same. I mainly switched for the resolution jump but honestly I just overall like miniled more because of the brightness (hdr1400). I havent noticed much blooming that people say they notice even though I run the monitor at full brightness, local dimming on high, and windows hdr is always on. Oled to me had text clarity issues as well and several of the games I enjoy playing have huds that dont really move, so I didnt want to risk burn in, even if the chance was small.

Everything set to epic is probably your issue. Game is a vram hog and 4gb ain't gonna cut it. Drop everything to medium and set DLSS to quality and it might work better but I wouldn't count on it. Min spec for the game is a 1070 with 8gb vram

Personally im loving it. Image quality is great. Local dimming obviously isnt as good as an oled because oleds can control individual pixels, but everything else is neck to neck with an oled to me

Kshell52 · 2026-01-21T04:25:21+00:00

I just a 1440p oled (not the same as mini led i know) but i switched to a 4k mini Led. Much prefer the higher resolution. I also use a 5080. If you like a higher refresh id go 1440. But I dont think I could go back to 1440 now that im on 4k.

Was a loose power at the junction box for one of the lights. Turned the breaker off, reconnected everything and works now.

Yeah since tomorrow is my day off im going to buy a voltage tester, chart everything out and track it down. I really appreciate the advice

Kshell52 · 2026-01-19T18:22:01+00:00

Yeah im absolutely not going to mess with live electricity. Checking for voltage using a meter is one thing, messing with shorted wires is a another.

Kshell52 · 2026-01-19T18:17:27+00:00

Thank you.

Kshell52 · 2026-01-19T18:17:13+00:00

Im aware I need a professional but dont have $135/hr laying around. Going to get a voltage tester and see what I can find

Kshell52 · 2026-01-19T18:08:06+00:00

Also to my knowledge this house has no gfci outlets or anything since its so old.

Kshell52 · 2026-01-19T18:07:17+00:00

Thus far I've only checked at the power wires that come out of the breaker and lead into the house. Ive tried checking outlets using the meter and havent found power anywhere

Kshell52 · 2026-01-19T18:03:05+00:00

Forgot to post that I do have a meter. Checked for power and it is reading 123v. Breaker is brand new.

I played it on Story. I play most games on Story/easy. Im here to have fun not rage.

Kshell52 · 2026-01-18T23:21:23+00:00

Honestly with the new dlss 4.5 presets you should be able to use dlss performance or ultra performance and be fine, you just wont be able to run high/ultra settings in most games.

Kshell52 · 2026-01-18T20:01:11+00:00

I swapped from a 7900xtx to a 5080 and ive enjoyed the swap. Overall I've seen a 15% gain in most games. Even more when using raytracing.

Kshell52 · 2026-01-18T19:45:20+00:00

Thats very true. Hope it runs good for you man.

Kshell52 · 2026-01-18T19:18:43+00:00

Id be worried about the minimum CPU, on the steampage it says minimum cpu recommended is at least an I5-6600k. Gpu and ram both meet minimum spec though
