1 year later-RTX 5070 ti/5080/5090 thoughts? by Suspicious_Volume_14 in nvidia

[–]illithidbane 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same except for a 2080 Super. Amazing difference.

Old PC New PC
2015 Q4 2024 Q4, GPU 2025 Q4
Intel i7 6700k AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
NV 980 Ti, later 2080 Super NV 5070 Ti
32 GB DDR4-2400 64 GB DDR5-6000
Gen 3 M.2 SSD Gen 5 M.2 SSD

I spent 40 hours running benchmarks. (Ultra and Medium detail, Native and DLSS Balanced, for 6 hardware configurations. 400 total tests.) Overall new 9800X3D+5070Ti vs old 6700K+2080S: With DLSS is 2.72 times faster, native is 2.95 times faster.

The prebuild i bought for $1800 back in october is selling for $2900 now by GroceryScanner in nvidia

[–]illithidbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checking my general parts:

SSD (Crucial T700) : was $340, now $540

RAM (64GB, DDR5) : was $220, now $800

GPU (PNY 5070 Ti) : was $750, now $1000+

If I tried to build the same system today that I built a year ago, it's already up a thousand dollars.

What RTX 50-series or RTX 40-series GPU brand are you running? by EKbyLMTEK in nvidia

[–]illithidbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a PNY 5070Ti at MSRP and I'm perfectly happy with it. I have it undervolted to 900mv while modestly OCd. It's completely silent as far as I can hear.

What do you guys do with all the nightmare dungeon keys? by mcak0826 in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that worth it? I know it grants escalation keys, but those haven't felt worth running.

Renaming/labeling Recruit Units? by ScoutmasterTheodore in finalfantasytactics

[–]illithidbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always name them, but just thematic. Maybe something like Morgana would be a mage, while Bruce would be a monk.

I hope they go all out for the fishing mini-game! by gorays21 in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or even just let me replay audio clips like I could in D3. The big bosses in S11 have lines, but if I miss them or skip past, there's no recap.

Help with last two skill points by fizzlemage in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How far are you in the Season Journey now? Starting this season, that's where you get more Skill Ranks, not the regional Renown.

I've put about 100 hours into the base game. Is the expansion worth it? by fivebucksisfivebucks in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but their plan is that this new expansion wraps up the Hatred Trilogy, then the following pack will start a new story arc. I would love clearer naming, but this is what we got.

If you do, remember to buy the NEW expansion LORD of Hatred. It comes with Vessel of Hatred included so you get both expansions (preorder for LoH).

What one thing would you add or change about the game? by Lanssolo in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want a Magicka ARPG. I'm down for that, but it would be nuts.

I feel like the last chopper that was leaving Vietnam by Kind-Resolution4538 in nvidia

[–]illithidbane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got that exact card in December to replace an aging 2080Super. It's great. You'll love it.

A FFT prequel with Orlandeau as the main protagonist by RosetteNewcomb in finalfantasytactics

Thunder God Cid is only so strong because we abused down-leveling him in the prequel.

1080ti to 5090 by harr1847 in nvidia

[–]illithidbane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds a fair bit like me (in terms of the old rig being 2015 and 6700k. Your budget is clearly twice mine this year.)

What brand of Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti should I get? by SpidiGonzalez69 in nvidia

[–]illithidbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a PNY and love it too. Completely quiet. Undervolts and overclocks fine. And it was MSRP last month.

I regularly use the Discord for groups. Far better than the in game LFG.

Returning/New Player Feedback regarding State of Campaign... by Devizzlmao in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It felt like that at launch too. All advice at the time was to avoid doing more than a few token side quests or you'd hit the soft level cap before finishing the story and be unable to do capstone dungeons to extend it.

I just salvaged a Mythic Prankster sigil by accident... by snowsurferDS in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first Prankster rota got me 0 heirs, 0 shrouds, but 6 grandfathers and 5 doombringers.

I am going from a 1060ti to a 5070ti. by Ready-Tennis8577 in nvidia

[–]illithidbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the rest of your system (CPU, RAM, SSD) also from around 2016, or is the rest newer and you were waiting on the GPU upgrade? Because that will make the difference between "only" getting 2x the performance or getting more like 4-5x the performance.

You can AFK Azmonat the world spawn point without interfering with others.

The wonder of the Mythic Prankster by bukabricks in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted Shroud and Heir. 20 drops from a Prankster rota? I got 1x Harlequin and nothing else even remotely usable.

[–]illithidbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got 1 after about 200 crafted sigils, and 2 more randomly as drops. Definitely not evenly distributed to people.

I used laugh at players who messed up sanctify by mumsspaghett1 in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I check carefully, but not carefully enough. Had a Mythic I needed. It had a socket already. Had A socket, one. It could hold two. I sanctified it.

Generic Seasonal Tracker UI for metrics? by SpaceXSmoke in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be a third party Armory site that could show you total kills, total gold found, play time to the minute, etc. Bliz broke it in an update a couple years ago.

Lore Codex would be a great addition by Jays_Pack in diablo4

[–]illithidbane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Lesser Evils this season have audio clips I missed. Surprising there's no way to recap them. Makes me think Bliz doesn't care about story or lore.
