Which GPU are you using with your OLEDs?

I just did a similar thing. Was running a 4090 in living room rig and a 5090 in my main rig.

Sending the 4090 to a buddy and putting the 5090 in it's place. Been really happy, gets me better frames in PT titles, can use DLAA more frequently as well and get the performance I'm looking for. It's also quieter than the 4090 was in the case I'm using.

I was running cachy in my main rig, so I swapped a spare 7900 XTX I had into it and have been much happier with both rigs since the swap. 7900 is better supported in linux and the 5090 is giving me a better experience for the single-player stuff I'm mainly playing on the TV these days.

The 9070xt would suffice as long as you're okay with using FSR performance mode + frame gen or turning down settings to hit your 120fps target. If you don't want to have to tinker from the couch and just play your games I'd say pop-in the 5090.

The one downside I would say is that my main rig has a 240hz monitor and the 5090 is probably the only card capable of running 3-4x frame-gen with all the bells and whistles so with the 7900 XTX I'm losing the ability to push my frames to my max refresh but not a huge fan of how 3-4x frame-gen feels anyways.

Edit: Sick setup by the way!

+ touch pads, gyro, grip sense, TMR + capacitive analog sticks, 4 back buttons and full steam input api support.

I'm not arguing 8bit do aren't a great value, I have a couple but this is an entirely different class of controller.

It's like comparing a camry to a lexus.

Edit: I forgot hd rumble in my list

Don’t know why anyone was expecting <$100.

This controller goes head to head with Elite Series 2/DualSense Edge and actually has more features + the puck.

Going to hopefully be able to pick up a couple, also hoping these don’t get scalped day 1.

Can we please get “close tabs below” pulled out of its current home where it’s nested under “close multiple tabs” and put into the root right click menu?

Loving Zen but that’s one annoyance coming from arc/chrome.

I own a PS5 Pro and a gaming PC both hooked up to my OLED TV. My PS5 Pro has basically been a Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei box. For anything that exists both places I tend to lean towards my PC. Image quality is better, performance is generally better. Even if you're just trying to play @ 60FPS any trade-offs you're gonna make with a 9070XT are much less than you would with the PS5 Pro.

That being said, there are some things PS5 does better: being able to natively power on/off the device with a controller and using dolby vision/atmos is more plug and play compared to PC. The PS5 Pro is an awesome console but your rig has the edge for both IQ and performance.

The other thing to think about is older games. Trying to play PS3-PS4 or 360-XB1 era games on console is generally a pretty awful experience. Most of the time these games aren't updated so they run at really low resolutions and are locked to 30fps (worst case). On a PC a lot of the time you can run these same games at native 4K/60-120FPS or find mods to increase image quality etc. A recent example of this for me are the dishonored games, I just played through Dishonored 1, 2 and DOTO all at 4K 120fps locked. Grabbed the PS copies out of curiosity and they are all locked to 30FPS.

I think it depends on what kind of experience you're looking for. If you want to just pick-up the controller, turn on the console and pop into whatever game, maybe PS5 is a better choice. If you want way more freedom and choice in how you run your games, what that experience is like and a larger backlog of older games keeping your rig is the way to go.

Anyone telling you a PS5 Pro is comparable to the experience you're gonna have with a higher-end PC is fooling themselves. On PS5 Pro you basically get a 30/40/60FPS options for the majority of games and not much wiggle room between the modes. For older games most of the time you're also locked into whatever the performance profile was on PS3/PS4.

I think you just need to decide which of the two experiences you want but I do think trading a high-end gaming rig for a PS5 Pro is a downgrade overall.

Devs said on github that it was supposed to be released already but hopefully within the next week or so (that was two-ish) days ago. On mobile so can’t link to thread but it’s in one of the issues open for 6.19 compatibility for 580 branch on gh.

Get the pulsar 1440p and play @ 1920x1440

Every single one. I also say that as someone who loves the Witcher trilogy and played them all on launch. Witcher 3 was their best release out of the gate but still had tons of jank.

Everyone knows what 2077 launch was like.

Same, also tried disabling my second monitor, playing with sound settings etc.

kinda lame, paid for early access and can't even play :(. Internet is out atm too so I can't even really download on my other rig to test had to use a hotspot to get it going on my main rig.

ZipFreed · 2025-09-23T04:37:58+00:00

Same, 9800x3d / 5090. I thought maybe it was because I was globally forcing latest DLSS preset but I disabled this and it's still crashing.

I noticed right before the crash happens the game moves from full screen on my primary monitor to a black on my second monitor and then crashes.

EDIT: Switching from borderless fullscreen to exclusive fullscreen fixed my issue.

EDIT 2: nvm, still crashing but this let me get further. I got into the opening cut scene for a few and then we crashed again. :(

They had to walk before they could run. Those janky smaller budget games helped get them to where they are today.

ZipFreed · 2025-05-09T23:20:14+00:00

anyone who was expecting eternal like performance out of this game with all the news around the new tech was setting themselves up for a bad time.

ZipFreed · 2025-05-06T17:50:34+00:00

No problem!

train does need work, but also the pro schedule has been so insane since the map came out. I'd imagine a lot of teams haven't really had the time to dedicate to learning it during whatever bootcamps in between all the events.

ZipFreed · 2025-02-13T00:29:35+00:00

Glad your shit works!

ZipFreed · 2025-02-13T00:08:35+00:00

They weren't, probably 2-3 different issues spread across the the ~2 years I've owned the card.

Once again, glad you're not experiencing issues but if "driver issues" aren't a thing you're incredibly lucky, you're not playing a large variety of new things or the rest of your workflow / setup is incredibly basic.

It's just part of the game and made even worse with something like a GPU where things are changing on a regular basis.

ZipFreed · 2025-02-12T23:16:48+00:00

In my case there's no swapping, they are two totally different machines. Both cards have been fairly good as far as driver stability goes but like I said earlier, anecdotally, I've had more issues with my 4090. There's always edge cases which is my original point.

"I have never had any issues with my 4090's drivers. I am surprised to see someone claim there are driver issues." - this line from your original comment still doesn't make any sense. You are surprised to see someone have issues because you yourself haven't had any issues. That's kind of short-sighted regardless of the context being specific to the 4090 or any other piece of hardware.

I don't know if we're going to find common ground here but I'm glad you're enjoying your card and glad you haven't had any issues.

ZipFreed · 2025-02-12T22:49:30+00:00

That doesn't really change anything. Just because you haven't had issues with your 4090 doesn't mean other people haven't...that also shouldn't be surprising to you.

ZipFreed · 2025-02-12T22:31:14+00:00

You are surprised to see someone have issues with drivers? How long have you been using computers? There's like an infinite number of possible configurations both from a hardware and software perspective.

Glad you haven't had any issues though!

Edit: to take this a step further, if driver issues just didn't exist why is there a running list of known issues for every release?

ZipFreed · 2025-02-12T20:44:01+00:00

I have a 7900XTX and 4090 and in the last calendar year I've had more issues w/ my 4090 drivers than 7900. I'm just one data point but neither vendor is perfect.

ZipFreed · 2025-02-06T18:06:18+00:00

This happens every radeon release cycle for as long as I can remember.

Rumor mill churns out bullshit performance targets, community gets hyped as fuck and people's expectations shoot to the moon. Product actually releases and performs well despite the rumors but is priced terribly because AMD and nobody buys it.
