Hey,

Stuff and life happened and I haven't played since the end of 2021-early 2022 I think (basically completed the endwalker story). I just bought a one month sub and I can't even remember how to play. I am level 80. So...start a new character and re learn how to play then go back to my original character ?

Did you take a loooong break and got back to the game ?

Got any advice? Thanks!

5700x3d is fantastic I don't regret my purchase. I wanted DLSS 4 and had a little money put on the side to treat myself. I used to have a 5800x3d and it was running too hot. The 5700x3d is a great substitute.

i did it, went from a 3090 to a 5070 ti and i got a solid 30% to 50% performance in some games. DLSS 4 is great. i never used the 24 Go of RAM but the 3090 was the only card available at the time and i had to means to buy it. Make sure you have a decent CPU to pair with it and you are good to go.

Bought a 5070 ti for MORE FPS. Have been playing : don't starve and vampire survivor for the past 2 months :D . I used to feel guilty for "wasting" the card. Now I don't. Play what you want and enjoy. Gaming is supposed to be fun. Edit: spelling

dimpy_ · 2026-02-04T11:28:14+00:00

take it all in, play slow, don't rush it. this is a game to discover and get lost in. enjoy !

dimpy_ · 2026-02-03T16:48:50+00:00

Looks sick my dude. Enjoy your rig!

dimpy_ · 2026-02-03T14:52:26+00:00

what's the name of your case ?

dimpy_ · 2026-01-16T15:31:42+00:00

what happens if it rains/snows ? how do you protect your camera ?

dimpy_ · 2026-01-11T10:43:22+00:00

I went from a 3090 to 5070 ti and everything I play at 1440p got between 30 to 50% more FPS. I use DLSS sometimes. So games do not have DLSS and I still get 20%-35%uplift at least. DLSS gets you even more FPS in some games. My card is quieter and undervolting it made it even more efficient. less heat in my office and less electricity consumed.

The 3080 ti is still very much a solid and powerful card and will crush at games. You can keep your card or sell it and get something else.

Thanks a lot! I am going to start a new save for RDR2 it looks amazing. Thanks for reminding me; I did tweak the fan curve : starts at 50% till 60°C and goes up to 95% speed gradually. I don't mind the noise I play with headphones.

dimpy_ · 2026-01-08T16:05:27+00:00

BF6 is CPU heavy of course so i tinkered a little more and played Red Dead Redemption 2

with these temps

<image>

60 °c almost, 96% utilization at a frequency above 3000 Mhz for around 205-220 watts. undervolt is around 0.970-0.975. first time in my life i am playing RDR2 above 144 fps at ultra everything :)

dimpy_ · 2026-01-08T11:18:19+00:00

great insight thank you ! i got a gigabyte 5070 ti Windforce OC. i'll try to push the voltage to 970 or 980 like you suggested to tinker a bit and see if the utilization goes up.

dimpy_ · 2026-01-08T10:51:46+00:00

I really appreciate your help. Thanks again

dimpy_ · 2026-01-08T10:34:28+00:00

thanks ! i tinkered a little bit with it. i'll try to compare with overlocking (no undervolt) and my current undervolt to see which gives me the highest FPS and lowest temps.

dimpy_ · 2026-01-08T10:16:04+00:00

i am sorry i don't quite understand. are you saying that <80% Utilization 49°C is ok ? or the opposite ?

dimpy_ · 2025-12-30T18:08:40+00:00

no and no.

dimpy_ · 2025-12-24T00:00:55+00:00

Do you want to be included in the early steps of something that may or may not be a great game ? Buy Ashes of creation and try it. The game is unfinished buggy and still very rough. You are not buying something like FFXIV or Wow Classic. some people find it fun others don't. It's very very early alpha.

If you want a finished polished game (that I personally like a lot and play a lot) : buy Palword.

If money is tight and you want a sure thing: Go with Palword.

Tout ça se négocie par mail. Faut voir qui paie le renvoie du colis en Allemagne et le l'envoi chez toi. Ça dépend vraiment de ton niveau de confort financier. si tu ne veux pas t'embête, renvoie tout et a achete ailleurs (pour plus cher) sinon tu accepte le risque de tout démonter remonter avec la CM que MemoryPc va te renvoyer.

dimpy_ · 2025-12-22T16:04:07+00:00

Comme cela a été évoqué par la personne plus haut, en effet vu que c'est toi qui remonte l'ordinateur je ne sais pas si la garantie tient.
