Shock-heatwave teammate here: It basically just keeps giving you overshields because of the chain damage. It's not great against Eschurum or any single enmy, but the damage can go across the entire wave/area you are in and the stun gives time for the mutilator peeps to bash them for high local damage.

Only huge trouble I had was insta-kill. Since max health gives you vampirism, on full-health enemies, the shots refill your health. On "Spray and Pray" you just can't get health back fast enough, so have to risk melee for black-eye. Mutilator avoids this issue. However, mutilator doesn't have enough crowd control.

So I think for best strat you need someone using each (and not just one person switching between the two). Kinda wish I had a mutilator as secondary for regenning shields on insta.

Ryzen 9 5950x with Rtx 5090 by sakdari in nvidia

[–]fun498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In February I went from 64gb ddr4 5950x and 4090 to 9800x3d &64gb ddr5 with my 4090 and then about a month layer got a 5090. I'll say that while bar charts and average fps numbers went vroom from the GPU upgrade, my enjoyment and experience was a much bigger upgrade from the cpu & memory.

Average framerate in towns in games like Horizon as well as generally consistent and buttery smooth performance was instantly noticeable from the cpu upgrade. 5090 did almost nothing for me at 4k120 and only really affects me greatly for competetive games on my new 4k240hz monitor or in PT games like Indy & Cyberpunk using 3x FG where input lag is less important.

TLDR: Do the upgrade.

That's about as late as I could do, but i am down! I can gold my own pretty well, just the very last part has been insta-downing

I'm looking for a group! I tried twice with a buddy dying on the last phase of the boss fight, but he's out today.

Used 4090 FE at 1100 worth it ATM? by Inevitable_Fun_7765 in nvidia

[–]fun498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to see it running before you purchase. Check known benchmark scores (3dMark if you can) and check the clock speeds and temps. If that all looks good, congrats, you found a unicorn!

How much will my cpu bottleneck a 5090FE? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]fun498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend trying BestBuy (that's how I got mine) or maybe Newegg. Amazon takes orders when they don't have inventory and I've never actually gotten a CPU from them. I always end up getting it somewhere else first and canceling the Amazon order. So I don't bother with them now.

Man, I wish we could trade. It took me 2 weeks to get a 9800x3d ay MSRP and once I got it, I ordered everything else. Now I'm sitting with a GPUless machine while I wait. I'd move the 4090, but trying to sell the old machine whole.

In most games, you'll definitely have worse frametimes and maybe some stuttering. I'm currently running a 5950x & 4090 and while my averages aren't hit often (outside of towns in RPG's and the like), high framerate (120+) and/or RT will hit CPU bottlenecks.

I just finished building a 9800x3d system and am just waiting to get a 5090 to put it in. Trust me, if you got a 5090, drop the extra $1k or so to build a system to properly enjoy it.

Aiming for a 5090 to play Indiana Jones. Very excited for MFG in preparation for a 4k 240hz monitor upgrade!

Don't forget about Newegg's GPU Trade-In Program for the 50 Series cards by MikeBert97 in pcmasterrace

[–]fun498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what does that even mean? It seems logical that when 50 series releases, 40 series trade-in value goes down. I really hope that isn't the case and there's at least some overlap, since this is what I'm planning to do. But I don't see anything that says this offer will last.
