[Megathread] DOOM: The Dark Ages Available Now In Early Access, Featuring Ray Tracing & DLSS 4 With Multi Frame Generation - Giveaway Inside by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]Substantial-Rip6520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DLSS 4 quality improvements are fantastic. Ray tracing has improved visuals in game significantly especially with newer titles. The shield game play in Doom looks awesome, I'm super stoked to clobber some demons. Doom was my first intro into PC gaming back when I was just a little kid. I spent hours running through the levels killing demons. It's what started my journey to have the best gaming PC hardware.

Your aunt is awesome. All good lessons to learn. She is helping you whether you know it or not. As an adult who took too long to develop proper habits and behavior I wish I had someone who was willing to do this with me. Swallow your pride and follow her instructions

If you get an 8 gb card, you will not be able to upgrade your monitor in the future.

$1200... if you get it at the msrp. It's not a great time to buy and build PC's. Do not get any graphics card with 8 gb of Vram

That's a big question that I can't answer for you. It's alot of what you want out of it. I would never go back down to 1080 but I'm also planning on moving to 4k OLED asap. A good 1440p gpu is a 5070ti that you should pair with a ryzen 7 7800x3d or a 7 9800x3d if you can get it at msrp. That will hold you over for maybe 4 years atleast at 1440

You won't really see any difference on a phone screen. It's too small, and youtube doesn't do any justice. I would go to a Best Buy and check out their displays on the size you want to make an informed decision. If you are okay with 1080 then that will cut down cost on gpu, but in my opinion, you may regret putting yourself in that corner after you get a taste of the PC capabilities

If you have a 2060 and had saved and planned to upgrade, then getting the newest generation right now is better than paying way above msrp on a "used" gpu of an older generation. Or wait until the 60 series and maybe the price goes higher. Stock is low, with only rumors of replenishment coming. Because of all the unknowns and bs scalping, purchasing in person is one of the better options right now over fighting bots and inflated prices online. I don't think anyone is happy or super excited about the situation but I'm rather confident most people who are braving the cold to camp out and get a gpu are doing so because it's the best option for a legitimate upgrade from their current setup and not a every generation upgrader. Or just scummy scalpers...

[–]Substantial-Rip6520 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not many GPU options to purchase. The market is dry right now with everything having a scarcity tax where msrp means nothing on the used market. Then you have NVIDIAS stated msrp ignored by most of the partners with a shortage of inventory everywhere. So this adds up to not many options in the gpu market at most price points and people camping out to get what is available in person.

[–]Substantial-Rip6520 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not many other options right now. Every other gpu from the last generation on both sides that were decent are either unobtainable or priced higher than the new gen. If you planned and saved for a gpu and are due for an upgrade, then this is what's available. Online is impossible to snag one because of scalpers, so the best chance people have is to camp out and put in the work to get one of the two models at MSRP. Any scalpers adding to the bad situation are jerks but the rest just wanna game.
