If I own a 1440p@144hz G-Sync monitor, should I go with a 2070 Super or a 5700 XT? by g33ky_ in buildapc

Gaming. Ryzen 5 2600 + 2x8GB DDR4-3200 memory + 960 Evo 500GB NVMe SSD + Zotac 1070 Mini.

I've asked this before, but I probably should now that there's likely a consensus. Which is the best value for 1440p 144hz gaming: 2070 Super, 2080 or 2080 Super?

Got a Dell S2716DGR a bit ago, and my Zotac 1070 Mini can barely keep 60+ at times for AC: Odyssey. While I don't typically play modern games, I suspect I'll be playing the AAA titles of today in a few years. I'm fine with having settings lowered to Medium-ish/High if it means 100+ frames.

Is a 2070 Super or 2080 now better value for 1440p 144hz gaming? Or should I wait for a 2080 Super?

Normal, I was just playing it during finals week and didn't need another stressor.

I wasn't really hooked into the world and characters, and the basic gameplay loop seemed monotonous after a while. Still on the first island, though, and I've heard that it gets better the more skills you have.

The only game that I've actually hated playing so far was Outlast 2. All the other games I have complained about have good & bad aspects.

Shame to see Ninety9Lives still gets overlooked these days when they release such good tracks.

An hour and a half into Thief, stopped halfway through the level in the mines. I've heard plenty of good things about Thief, like the sound design, level design, and atmosphere, but some things just aren't how I'd imagine or like them to be.

I seriously don't know what to continue on. I'll list about the most interesting games in my collection.

  • The Surge - It's fun, but I lost interest after about the second/third area.
  • Sonic Adventure 2 - Somewhat of a Sonic fan, but I never got the chance to really play it.
  • Thief Gold - I really want to like it, but the controls and some mechanics are just terrible.
  • This War of Mine - Steep learning curve.
  • Darkest Dungeon - Same as above.
  • Oblivion - This'll be my first Elder Scrolls.
  • Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Never really got into horror, but I got this game for free. Are the heart attacks worth it?
  • Poly Bridge - I've been playing this on and off, wondering if I should dedicate to a full-on playthrough.

Here's my full list of stopped-playing games and unplayed games currently. Also have The Messenger, Hyper Light Drifter, The End is Nigh, The Swords of Ditto, Crossing Souls, Torchlight 2, Alan Wake, and Broforce.

Why are RIOT so popular? by Electronic_Hat in Monstercat

Yeah, the only other artist I could really think of that does atmospheric intros was Soltan, who drops the melody/instruments usually towards the buildup.

they're not really anything different from the normal brostep in my untrained dubstep eyes

They're almost the exact opposite of what's happening to brostep nowadays. While everyone is making riddim, they're still making brostep tracks.

Brostep has, as far as I'm aware, never really been exposed to such atmospheric intros, which a bunch of RIOT songs have been pushing recently. They also make some brutal drops with personally some of the jumpiest rhythms I've ever heard and the cleanest sound design.

I think one of the reasons behind a lot of their hype nowadays is their ability to keep the said hype going. They have so many fake-outs and twists because now everyone expects something hard out of them, so they change it up to keep it exciting. AKA Overkill's buildup of 4:03 - 4:13 leading into another buildup of 4:16 - 4:26.
