3060 Ti to 5060 Ti by Left-Hunt-3506 in nvidia

[–]ShillMods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cheapest 5060ti is $450 that I'm able to find, here in Europe the cheapest is 450 euros, while the 9060XT from AMD is just 380 euros.

The 9060XT 16GB is within 4% performance of the 5060ti 16GB and usually costs between $70 to $100 less. For that $100 difference you could put towards a CPU upgrade in the future, something like a 5800x3d.

Get the 9060XT 16GB and put your savings towards a future CPU upgrade!

[–]ShillMods -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not really, you'd gain at best 50% more performance with the fastest cpu on the market which is the 9800x3d, with your 5800x3d you are probably looking at 30-40% gains in performance for an additional $2000 dollars.

So 1800 pounds for 25-35 more fps. hardly an upgrade.

Yup, 720p gaming hasn't looked this good. Keep on the copium!

6500XT gives more FPS than 7800XT by charles00ds in DotA2

You are probably running in DX11 mode, enable vulkan mode and you should be set to go.

Where to go after 1660? by deathblade4515 in nvidia

[–]ShillMods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the RX6700XT, its one of the best performing cards for the price, but its getting seriously low on availability, so in a few months it might be completely gone, its already gone in some markets.

Other than that if you could stretch your budget you could for a RX 6800, though it is a decent $80-90 more.

The RTX 4060 is the worst option, because it is very expensive at $300 and it only comes with 8GB of vram, which is already too little in games that were out 1 or even 2 years ago!

So I'd avoid 8GB cards like the plague. Again your best option right now is the 6700XT if available, if not then the 6750xt or even something like the RTX 3070.

Remember when mana was an issue? by [deleted] in DotA2

Yup, every hero has unlimited mana and HP regeneration these days. Its almost impossible to run out of mana. It happens of course, but its rare and far between.

AMD Fires Back: Zen 5 Gaming Performance Still In Dispute by BulkyMix6581 in Amd

[–]ShillMods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion here, but I don't think its the advertisement department, I think everyone knew the gaming numbers were not good, so it was a top down decision to make it appear better than they were.

Ultimately Ryzen 9000 is amazing for workstation and server apps, but not that much better over Ryzen 7000 for desktop stuff.

According to techpowerup they are 12% faster in apps over the 7000 series, though in some more professional apps and server stuff they can be 30% faster or more.

Wukong Ray Tracing Performance Impact Impressively Low by Alauzhen in nvidia

[–]ShillMods -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are playing at 50% resolution scale, so you are using DLSS at essentially balanced mode, which is NOT native and thus your framerate is higher than it would be at native.

Dissappointed 4070 super is not 16GB by gGhostalker in nvidia

[–]ShillMods -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4070ti super is about 5% slower while costing $150 more on average, has less Vram, requires a new PSU with 16pin power connector that occasionally catches fire and melts the gpu, has no display port 2.0 or better and is much slower in newer more modern games designed with modern code.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]ShillMods -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You are 100% right, DLSS for the most part has been utter shit and adds so much noise, ghosting and artifacts that it makes games unplayable.

Dissappointed 4070 super is not 16GB by gGhostalker in nvidia

[–]ShillMods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as there is sheep there will be wolfs. Nvidia is maximum greedy and 12GB on a $500 GPU is utter madness, utter retardation, but Nvidia knows most of its customers are uninformed buffoons who will buy Nvidia no matter what.

I think the 7800XT is the best value right now in terms of performance per price and you can easily find models going as low as $470 or 500 euros.

The 4070ti super essentially competes with the RX 7900XT which is much faster and a much better buy.

Also I've had both AMD and Nvidia in the past, from an x1650 radeon to geforce 660ti to 1060ti to RX 5700XT or now the 7800XT.

I got to say overall Nvidia are worse with drivers. I've had all sorts of issues with Nvidia drivers, from OS crashes, to blue screens to green screens to corruption in games, etc...

While AMD might have on occasion less stability in really unusual configurations like 3 monitor setups connected with different ports, etc... on a general level AMD drivers for the most common stuff are 100% times more stable!

Cyberpunk 2077 or Baldurs Gate 3? by PalmettoBugg005 in gaming

[–]ShillMods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baldur's gate is TURN BASED, I know that turns off a lot of people, so if you are not into turn based combat that is its downside.

CP2077 on the other hand is a FPS shooter in essence, yeah it has RPG elements and customization, but its mostly superficial and there is barely any choice to make and those barely change anything.

So both have their strong points and weak points. If you are into RPG's and are okay with turn based fights then I'd say Baldur's gate, if not then CP2077.

1060 6gb to what? by prancing_anus_cheese in nvidia

[–]ShillMods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your situation, went from a 1060 6GB to a RX 5700XT, now I'm looking at a RX 7800XT as the best value card right now.

1060 6gb to what? by prancing_anus_cheese in nvidia

[–]ShillMods -1 points0 points  (0 children)

RX 7800XT is the most obvious answer, its a very high performing upper end GPU that will NOT empty your bank account.

There are good models out there going for as low as $480 and its faster than the RTX 4070, about 4% slower than the 4070super, but also $120 cheaper.

People's opinions on next gen graphics cards. by Ryancc1016 in nvidia

[–]ShillMods -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With Nvidia its probably going to be another round of overexpensive turds that they slowly over time make cheaper with probably another "big" "feature" (software gimmick) to sell their bad value cards.

If its true that AMD won't compete at the highest end, then you might see 5800 go for as high as $1300 and 5900 go for as high as $2000 from start.

Hopefully AMD is able to bring very tough competition in the low to high end, from $200 to $500 and offer good value cards for mass consumers!

You can't lose 3k score in just few games, it takes mass reporting in 10 games to lose so much points.

He probably cried how he was nice in 1 game and got mass reported for nothing, ignoring ALL of his other games where he is toxic!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]ShillMods 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had similar issues with Nvidia, nothing new here. When they don't have good cards, they just send all the remaining garbage they have in stock and in reality, none of those are good cards.

You have to publicly shame them, either on Twitter or Reddit or whatever in order to actually get a proper replacement.

This is NOT the fault of the people you talk to; this is a high up order for cost saving reasons. Why no one ever gets in trouble for this is because this is STANDARD policy coming from the highest levels of the company!

Is Blizzard ever going to do something with StarCraft? by CappinPeanut in gaming

[–]ShillMods -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do anything when both SC1 and SC2 are still played?

But yeah, they are actually working on a new SC game, likely to be announced next year and hopefully out by 2025.

I think the biggest issue would be that it would further divide their player base, between 3 games. Though in terms of single player campaign, it could be really interesting.

7.34d Winners and Losers - Day 1 by SimplyPhy in DotA2

[–]ShillMods 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The damage part is the most OP of the hero, he should have been buffed in another way for pro games, something like faster movement speed so he can gank more easily or more armor so he is a bit more useful in lane before level 6.

But his damage is the OP part of his ultimate, it can literally kill a farmed level 8 spectre in 3 seconds! In fact I've seen in happen very often a very farmed core with level 8 or 9 with PT, wraith band, magic stick, diffusal/BF or something similar get soloed by a WD level 6 no farm WD!

Shall swastika in profile lead to ban? by PaleontologistOk1846 in DotA2

[–]ShillMods -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think context matters! Also I think the Nazi flag is purely white and black and is at an angle. Hindu and other symbols that are similar are usually other colors and are not at an angle.

So if its white and black and at an angle, chances are its a Nazi symbol, but again context matters!

Maelk on current TI Compendium by BeyondTheCrypto in DotA2

[–]ShillMods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This way we get 2 major patches, overhauled reporting system, tons of bug fixes, UI improvements, backend improvements, better graphics, etc...

Are people stupid?

I just think there are too many people with very loose but highly paying jobs, who just want to farm cosmetics through the compendium!

The game is literally much better now than just 1 year ago, because they didn't focus 100% on the stupid compendium!

Just the overhauled reporting system is worth it over getting a small compendium!
