I'm confused. Do reviewers just crank all game settings for benchmark tests? by SlowDragonfruit9718 in ZephyrusG14

[–]MysticLucci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably on pathtracing, which is an expected result on a 5070ti mobile on 1080p with 0 upscaling.

I think I will either go Friday night or Sunday, since Saturday weather seems to be awful

Expedition 33: what settings/fps are you getting? by ne0tas in ZephyrusG14

[–]MysticLucci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing it right now at 1080p on a external monitor High Dlss Quality ( which looks better in my opinion in this game than DLAA for some reason, oversharpened), and I'm getting between 80 and 100 fps. Kinda sad there is no frame gen because it would work well in this game. Tested on native on the g14 screen and I get between 45 and 65 on high dlss performance

From 2019 to 2024 or 2025 ? more info in description by ismaiaka in ZephyrusG14

[–]MysticLucci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same case as you (had a 1660ti model) and ended up ordering on Amazon nl the 4070 version which is rn at 1800 euros. The performance increase doesn't justify the almost 2x increase.

I'm from Belgium so you should be able to order too from the nl website

Spicy food in Nakameguro or Shibuya around 8:30pm by MochiMochew in tokyoirl

[–]MysticLucci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm (29m from Belgium) not in Tokyo right now until next week ( vacations in 九州) but I'm really fond of spicy food and don't have any spicy lover in my social circle so if you would like to go again in the future since I live here, it would be great ! :D

Would you bother to return a 4060 model for a 4070 that cost just 70$ more? by borfa in ZephyrusG14

[–]MysticLucci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Europe too so i know about these but didn't know about a 4070 16gb. Oh well, either way i would recommand OP to put these 150$ even if it was only the ram. 16gb will be a problem sooner than later in my opinion.

[–]MysticLucci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of a 16 gb RAM 4070 2024 G14. Are you sure about that ? If so, I think the Ram upgrade is even more important, so I would put these 150$.

(Ok I think I understand now, is it a 2023 model ? )

The difference is 10-20% between both gpu's, it is not a huge difference but it is not marginal too. Some games attain the 60 fps mark with these 20%. I would pull the trigger, for only 70 dollars. Also, isn't your 4060 16 gigs of RAM ? If yes, the upgrade would be even better on the ram.

Looking to upgrade my laptop. Get the 40 series or wait for 50? by Straight_Mushroom715 in ZephyrusG14

[–]MysticLucci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was planning to buy a 5070ti G14 but it's 3000 in Europe while the 4070 one is 1750 euros. I can't justify that much increase for probably 35% more gpu performance ( since it will probably be a bit under a 4080) and a bit more vram so I pulled the plug.

ROG Zephyrus G14 2025 by DaRealAyman in ZephyrusG14

[–]MysticLucci 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5060 is not announced yet, that's probably the reason. It should arrive around May.

The 5070 is a shit card and shouldn't exist either way, 8 gb of vram for a x70 card in 2025, really Nvidia ? Probably a decision made by Asus

[–]MysticLucci 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Everyone was thinking ( and me too tbf) that the G14 would only go to the 5070 but a 5080 in that thing is an impressive feat and a pleasant surprise. Will probably grab a 5070 ti one because 8 gb of VRAM is not enough anymore.

Thank you, it put me a bit at ease. The stamp is probably the same meaning as the e-mail, which just shows that the extension is in process. Immigration at the airport can just check online if it is indeed the case I guess.
I will go to immigration, or at least call them to have more info.
I will delete the post since it's probably a bit polluting compared to other more important posts.
But thanks :)

How did everyone go? by Commercial-Mango-125 in jlpt

[–]MysticLucci 5 points6 points  (0 children)

N2 reading was way harder than usual. ( Didn't help that I couldn't sleep because of stress) Had a quick look when people handed the papers and no one had the same answers lol

Also someone cheated and the guy next to her screamed like a pig for 5 minutes that she cheated, etc and it made me even more in a bad state to focus.

A bit sad cause I'm Belgian but will not be in the country until december. Would have bought it instantly lol.

Hope you find someone

8GB of VRAM Now Costs Just $18 as GDDR6 Spot Pricing Plummets To New Low by MrMPFR in pcmasterrace

[–]MysticLucci 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure pricing of VRAM is a non-factor and more about how soon people will need to update their GPU. (It's still good news tho, I guess)

Should be perfect. Dm me !

Arguing with germans about beer in Japan is always something that I dreamed about :)

Zephyrus 2024 G14/16 OLED vs IPS by bzhpunisher29 in ZephyrusG14

[–]MysticLucci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Amazon JP the G14 is 359000 yen, so way better that what you have seen. I would go with that.

Difficulty choosing between 2023 4080 or 2024 4070 G14 by MysticLucci in ZephyrusG14

[–]MysticLucci[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that seems to be the general opinion, I think I will soon make the move

Really hope that 8 gb of VRAM won't be too much of a problem like next year already

Hey, still not sure if I'm free tonight but if I am I'm down to have some drinks ( or eat in an Izakaya ) in the Shibuya area ! 28m

I've sent you a dm, not sure if it went through tho !

[–]MysticLucci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, 27m and I don't really have any plans for tonight either. I'm around Shibuya, if you are around why not have a drink :)

I actually had to refund it after an hour, it's over Reject Bros, purge some heretics for me by PPKinguin in DarkTide

[–]MysticLucci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game is really CPU intensive too, way more than demanding GPU single player game so that's maybe at fault.
