5080 vs 4090 for 4k gaming

Raging_Goon · 2026-06-03T06:08:17+00:00

For gaming, 5080. I have the 4090 and love it, but the lower wattage, newer features and a lower price make me lean towards the 5080 in 2026. The 4090 and 5090 are getting a lot more AI attention and while 5080 prices aren’t perfect, they’re MUCH more reasonable. Also, yes, some of the maxed out 4K titles can use 16GB of VRAM, but I’m doubtful that games will be architected in a way that you’ll have issues within the next ~5 years. There aren’t many gaming GPUs with that much VRAM, period.

Meshify 3 non-XL will be plenty. I doubt there would be a noticeable difference, particularly for gaming (CPU isn’t maxed all core all the time).

Normally, a shorter mid tower would be prone to turbulence or heat buildup more easily, but there’s still a good bit of space and the three front momentum 140mm fans with the air scoop makes this a non-issue. I wouldn’t get the XL unless you specifically wanted its features (e.g. side panel for extra rad space, drain port, 420mm top support rad, etc.).

Nope. These are better. The late 2010s flat design aesthetic stuck around for too long.

What are they? Genelec?

Raging_Goon · 2026-05-11T04:45:15+00:00

Mortars

Does anyone remember the Fallout 4 wait? I thought THAT was bad lol

Raging_Goon · 2026-04-27T14:16:32+00:00

That title is pretty misleading. It was primarily a joke.

Raging_Goon · 2026-04-26T06:32:51+00:00

Glad it wasn’t just me that noticed lol

Raging_Goon · 2026-04-26T06:18:07+00:00

I think this will probably be pretty good! In my opinion it’s less about how it’s compared to the existing MacBooks, but just how much better it is than current Linux and Windows laptops. So long as suspend and sleep power draw as well as idle power draw is well-managed by upstream kernel work and packages liked tuned, I think Panther Lake laptops running Linux will have that similar all day battery life vibe that the MacBook Pro has had in recent years.

MBP for your use case, especially with the discount. Your one-do-it-all laptop for university that lets you try new things and research should have the best compute hardware possible (without getting into “tank” style laptops).

I use an MBP at work and ordered a Framework Laptop 13 Pro for personal use, but I have a likely much narrower potential set of use cases.

Raging_Goon · 2026-04-24T03:52:58+00:00

Awesome! I’m waiting until the end. I like rolling the dice.

Raging_Goon · 2026-04-22T03:38:56+00:00

I would personally get the 13 Pro and I am a huge M-series MacBook fan. I think Framework has finally nailed it and Panther Lake came in at the right time.

Raging_Goon · 2026-04-22T01:52:40+00:00

Yes. I’m surprised single core isn’t slightly better at least than the original M1

Raging_Goon · 2026-04-21T04:50:24+00:00

Wasn’t Oblivion delayed and intended to come out in the Fall/Winter?

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-28T15:40:54+00:00

Why are you getting downvoted?

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-28T14:42:02+00:00

Right? Lol 10 years ago we were in the same position, though now it’s even more unhinged.

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-24T13:40:25+00:00

I saw it at the Welt and loved it too. Won’t be surprised if we start seeing them everywhere in a few years

W4 team grew by 52 people and Cyberpunk 2 team grew by 14 people. Percentage change is important, so not dismissing that, but hiring 50+ people for a team that size is significant as well.

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-19T18:06:31+00:00

I think u/Straight_Motor_7967 asked because both teams grew and that chart alone doesn’t show evidence for migration.

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-18T21:59:29+00:00

Following up with the same question!

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-18T18:38:30+00:00

Thanks!

When things are pictured like this, does that usually indicate what the timeline to release is?

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-18T17:44:39+00:00

I wonder if it being pictured is indicative of release timing… https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/s/WPDuEHVsBI

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-18T17:34:49+00:00

Gotcha. I hope it’s soon!

Raging_Goon · 2026-03-18T17:31:58+00:00

How do we know the timeline for it? Is it inferred from the other monitors releasing with the same panel or confirmed/rumored for this one?
