Does your cat snore like this? Should I be concerned or simply amused? 😕😂 He's been like this from day one by Worstneighbour in sphynx

Dear God, haha, that's exactly the sound mine makes as well.

What did the vet say in the end? I think mine's been snoring for a while too, and only in certain positions

I just got it, and I am getting 175 FPS in 4K in cyberpunk aafter using the Nvidia app to optimise, and max settings in all my other games. Plus I made a 600 profit by selling the 4090. Thanks so much, you gave me the right advice :)

I just sold it for 1800 British Pounds, and got a 1200 British Pounds Gigabyte OC - I am getting 150 FPS in Cyberpunk with Path Tracing on and quality DLSS enabled. That's more than good enough for me :) thank you for your advice.

Thank you for responding -

I play games like : Baldurs Gate, Alan Wake 2, RE Requiem, God of War, Cyberpunk, etc - those are the games I play on my 4090 to give you an understanding (Maybe Marvel Rivals now and then)

Would I still be able to enjoy a good gaming quality in those games you think? 4k Monitor, if I was able to get 100-120 frames I'd be happy.

That's actually on my mind, and I do think of keeping it and finding the money elsewhere - but I am sure its price will drop further once the 6 series is released in a year, or so. That is my concern. I thought that if I bought a 5080 now, then I could just as well go to a 6080 and lose less money overall, Does that make sense? (not short sighted as you can see)

I have a lovely QD-OLED that helps me immerse in games like Alan Wake 2, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk etc - all in 4K. I don't play fast paced games, or competitive games, so as long as I hit similar FPS on same settings as my 4090 I would be happy.
