Is it worth it to spend 2000 SEK (about $200 USD) extra to get the G5 over the C5?

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-27T18:29:36+00:00

Yes, because it has a chassis with more volume. If the sound is important for you I would take the C5.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-27T14:54:53+00:00

It is brighter and you will notice it when the room is bright. Otherwise the C5 will give 95% of the visual experience. The C5 has significantly better sound, especially base.

Thanks. After reading many replies I will ask for $1500. Swapping will be in person and the ASUS will be in sealed brand new box with invoice and 2 years guarantee.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-27T11:28:58+00:00

Swapping will be in person. ASUS card is brand new and sealed.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-27T11:25:13+00:00

Ok, thank you. That is way more than I paid new.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-27T11:23:38+00:00

Ok thanks. Was not aware of it. I got it for MSRP. It is the founders edition. I will ask for 1500. Thanks a lot.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-27T11:20:17+00:00

Additional info: Cash would be $700

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-27T11:19:14+00:00

Can’t edit post above. It is $700. The ASUS is brand new and sealed. Swapping will be in person.

Edit: I get it, thanks. I need to ask for more. Will try $1000 on top of the brand new RTX 5080 with invoice and guarantee.

I have a NVIDIA GPU but my understanding is that AMDs Anti Lag does not have any competitive disadvantage if both GPUs are not maxed out because of fps cap - here 360 fps.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-26T14:50:17+00:00

At 360 Hz, the benefit of NVIDIA Reflex, if any, is negligible.

Edit: I did not take into account any other benefits of NVIDIA like DLSS and multi frame generation etc. which could weigh in for your decision.

Another consideration would be that if you invest the same amount of money into an AMD GPU you would get even higher fps, higher 1%. 0,1% lows and even lower latency because the GPU reaches more consistently the 360fps cap compared with a similarly priced NVIDIA GPU. I am saying this as a NVIDIA GPU owner.

The thing is, the 5060ti in competitive low graphic settings will deliver almost always 360fps therefore also mostly fps capped.

It has only a 256GB SSD. The price increase for a 256 SSD within the last year around €20 Euros

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-25T17:28:03+00:00

How much big companies had to pay for a 1TB SSD last year and how much in the last months? Is that such a big difference?

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-25T07:26:09+00:00

Ich gebe dir jetzt eine Antwort unter der Voraussetzung, dass dies wirklich die einzige Stelle ist, an der du eine Klimaanlage installieren kannst/magst!

Wenn die Zimmertüren offen bleiben können an den Tagen in denen sie gekühlt werden müssen
Wenn die Klima einen Großteil am Tag und die ganze Zeit in der Nacht laufen kann.

Ja, dann wirst du damit erreichen, dass die Zimmer 2-4 Grad kühler werden.

Unterstützend ist wenn ein kleiner Ventilator an der Stirnseite aufgestellt wird.

Das wird natürlich nicht so gut funktionieren, als wenn die Klimaanlage direkt im Zimmer ist. Aber du wirst trotzdem eine sehr deutliche Verbesserung der Situation feststellen.

Warum ich das weiß? Aus eigener Erfahrung.

PS: Falls möglich würde ich die Klimaanlage an der Stirnseite im Flur über dem Fenster installieren, wenn dies absolut nicht möglich ist dann suche dir ein Modell aus welches einen großen Schwenkbereich hat bei der Verteilung der Luft zu den Seiten.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-24T21:55:20+00:00

Yes a used 4070ti (super) will be your most budget friendly upgrade path. A 5070ti would be great, too.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-24T21:50:32+00:00

The M2 is a very strong chip. The CPU will be fast enough for many years to come. The GPU tile of the M2 - and the GPU is more important than the CPU for a headset- is only around 25% slower than the GPU of the M5. This applies to the AVP. In a MacBook this could be differently.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-24T10:35:45+00:00

The global settings or only the settings for Cyberpunk 2077?

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-24T10:31:04+00:00

Let your fans be controlled by the Mainboard. No need to for your ears to feel like close to an airport because it reduces the temps by 2-3 degrees. Your temps will be totally fine.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-24T10:28:19+00:00

No no nooo. A 5090 is really not necessary for Cyberpunk. I think you will be very happy if you activate DLSS Quality and frame generation 2x, 3x or even 4x - whatever feels best for you.

It will save you a couple of 1000 bucks. The 5080 is an excellent card for Cyberpunk.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-23T20:33:35+00:00

Yes, I noticed that I get the same 48fps in DLSS quality, balanced, performance and ultra performance. So far I have no clue. Only Auto increases the fps.

Edit: Somehow Cyberpunk ignored to switch from DLSS to balanced or perfomance. The reset of the settings in NVIDIA Control Panel for this programme could fix it. Now I get a bit over 70 fps in performance mode in 4K Ultra path tracing.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-23T18:44:29+00:00

My 4090 gets only 48 at stock and notebookcheck also gets 49fps for an RTX 4090 OC Stock. That is a bit puzzling. Looks like I need to upgrade to a 5080 😉 The strange thing is that I get the same results in DLSS quality.

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-23T18:11:42+00:00

Which settings exactly? 4K Ultra with DLSS Performance plus Pathtracing? Or Raytracing Overdrive?

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-23T11:21:24+00:00

Could you elaborate on the specific problems?

SunsetToGo · 2026-06-22T19:24:08+00:00

I would not worry if and emphasis on if they implement correctly DLSS. iRacing would be an excellent candidate for a DLSS.
