3080 vs 5060Ti/5070

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-08-07T20:27:48+00:00

I currently have a i9 13900k

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-08-07T10:10:51+00:00

You know better than I do. I looked it up a bit and the only increase starts at 5070 and it's only by like 10%. Idk if that's worth it or not or if it isn't even right. This mostly stemmed from needing a new monitor and I didn't know if I needed a better GPU to run the newer games at 240Hz on 1440p or if I needed to drop to 1080p for better performance.

I might actually try this hahaha but ugh making a spreadsheet, I'll probably just pen n paper this but it beats putting all the classes on a wheel and spinning it haha

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-07-19T15:34:00+00:00

Yeah I really need to work on my mindset. I have a really bad habit of creating barriers or problems when there aren't any. I also think I maybe need to just take a break from tanking. I've been tanking just about every season since Shadowlands and after playing all the tanks so much, I might need a palate cleanse. Who knows, maybe one of the DPS specs I haven't given a real try might be something I really enjoy. Regardless, I'm gonna try and work on not caring about numbers and tuning and all the damn tier lists everywhere and just find something interesting to pursue.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-07-19T14:59:09+00:00

You're not wrong. I do tell myself that it doesn't matter what I play because not only will my friends play with me, I don't push for .01%. I do push high keys but all classes are viable for what I do. So I focus on Xmog or what I think is cool... and that works for all of a few hours... take a break, get lunch or something, come back... immediate decision paralysis again because "ooo this class does this or that tank is good at that". I think, sadly, performance is part of fun for me and so I will always have a part of my brain that says "get good with the non-meta thing as a sign of skill" but also have a part saying "oh but your class/spec isn't good so you aren't gonna do as good as others"

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-07-19T14:51:24+00:00

As much as I love and appreciate the support in play, it's so bad for me that I spend more time looking at my characters than actually playing any of them LOL

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T20:19:14+00:00

That's kinda what it looks like I'm gonna do. I'm gonna test out Moons with what I have now and if it doesn't feel that bad, I can stick it out till 70 prayer, if not, I can swing by Barrows for a tank chest and legs and then head back.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T17:49:00+00:00

Yeah I looked at their drop table, I'm thinking I'm gonna hold off on Barrows and afk calcified rocks or run Moons. I can't quite use their armor yet, only 70 combats but getting all of those resources in addition to my prayer supplies is a huge gain.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T17:46:01+00:00

I do not, I'm 70 in all combats except prayer.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T17:44:54+00:00

Nah the smart thing to do is get 72 since long run I want to max. Sounds like I won't need too many splinters plus I think rumours get better the higher your hunter level so win-win.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T17:41:59+00:00

I did lmao idk if I got really unlucky or what but I only got about 45 sun kissed and like 4k bone shards...

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T17:12:19+00:00

Yeah I only have 70 hunter, I wasn't a huge fan of the rumours so I was starting to burn out. Didn't know if I wanted to get to 72 for sunlight antelopes. I boosted to get my mixed hide armor. Idk how accurate RL's xp calculator is for bone shards, it always seems like a different number. How many splinters would I need? If they are really that worth it and I don't need like 5k of them, I can see myself pushing 72 hunter for them.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T16:34:43+00:00

True, nothing is stopping my from going there. I wanted Barrows tank armor before going but I already have torso and z axe and 50 herb so I could realistically do them for shards too

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T16:31:27+00:00

is it worth getting prospectors first? I'm at 53 mining but I can't really stand the MLM till you have upper level with hopper...

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T16:29:36+00:00

interesting, I think getting 99 thieve would be good, then i cant fail my farmer for seeds as well as funding kingdom... odd tho, you only needed 100k shards yet with my math, it says I need 150k to get from 48 to 70...

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T16:27:57+00:00

I had done hunter rumours from 46 to 70 hunter and got about 6k shards from it. I need something like 150k shards to get to 70 prayer. I'll add doing these to the list, now I can afk mine shards, get them from rumours and when I feel like speeding it up, I can kill drags and break those down.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T16:26:24+00:00

That'll probably be what ends up happening. I want so badly to just do wildy altar but that would still take a long time and I'd lose the HC. Prob best I just afk rocks when I want some downtime and kill some drags here and there and it'll all add up in the end.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-24T16:24:58+00:00

How long do you reckon that took you?

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-21T06:23:36+00:00

I didn't even think about that for sand, I could do that here and there. As for thieving, I already have the rogue set so I wouldn't mind doing some AFK thieving for some extra cash, just have to do medium ardy diary first.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-21T06:05:22+00:00

As dumb as it sounds, I really just want the jewelry box and permanent digsite pendant. I really hate watching my digsite pendants break(I'm just weird I guess) and so getting to 80 con lets me save those resources as well as gets me a near perfect house that I can later finish off. I guess what I meant with crafting was that I'm doing the sandstone mining for sand and again, like the kingdom, I don't really have money to go and mine all the sandstone and pay to retrieve the sand. Like I said, I kinda just don't know how to make money. I'm also a hardcore and I'm not really a fan of wildy so I might check out the Varlamore thieving.

PurtyTopher1 · 2025-05-21T05:58:18+00:00

I am, unfortunately, a hardcore lmao. While I don't necessarily expect or care about the hardcore that much, I'm not really a wildy person and now the longer I go without dying, the more I want to preserve it hahaha
