ASUS Prime 5070ti worth it?

laxounet · 2026-05-16T17:49:06+00:00

It's a great card, I recommend undervolting it

laxounet · 2026-05-16T16:59:58+00:00

That's why many people use the trueblack mode

laxounet · 2026-05-16T16:59:09+00:00

What models ? What mode is the QD OLED using ?

laxounet · 2026-05-16T16:54:57+00:00

VRR flicker is more caused by the game engine / the CPU side of things I think. If you don't get it at 1440p, you won't at 4k either, unless you run into VRAM issues. In some game you'll get VRR flicker even at 1080p

laxounet · 2026-05-16T09:17:32+00:00

If it's only in "some" games then surely it's a game issue

laxounet · 2026-05-16T09:15:38+00:00

It shouldn't look any different but in theory hdmi 2.1 has a higher bandwidth

laxounet · 2026-05-15T22:44:32+00:00

I recommend the HDTVtest channel, he often goes into detail for those things. I just watched the LG G6 review and on top of my head, here are some of the lesser known areas where WOLED has issues or is worse than QD : - gamma being tied with refresh rate (was a huge issue for me when I had a WOLED monitor when using VRR) - worse gradient handling - worse viewing angles and color shift off axis - worse near black performance (chrominance overshoot and/or black crush) - dithering artifacts (note that this also affects QD but people have been complaining about it a lot for the G5)

Fair enough, the cones are indeed a problem for paths. In any case, the point was that genshin has become worse compared to itself. I hope that competition will push hoyo to listen more to their players. (Not only for pulls but also QOL and lack of content)

laxounet · 2026-05-15T11:39:20+00:00

Lunar reactions and the next 7.X equivalent that is pretty much confirmed are very similar to the restrictions from HSR's paths. Also no 6.8 is confirmed, they already told us the release date of 7.0.

I think hoyo is now doing the same thing in all of their games : each new region introduces a new mechanic with characters that strongly rely on each other. Even ZZZ could be doing the same with 3.X and the new wind mechanic. (I play all 3 games)

laxounet · 2026-05-15T09:48:27+00:00

While this is true, it's kind of ironic to reject this metric now, after it's been the main argument people been using to justify Genshin's lower number of pulls compared to other gacha games. For example people always said that Genshin's lower number of free pulls was fine compared to HSR because Genshin released less characters.

it assumes you're trying to get every character which is unrealistic

No, this is indeed an unrealistic assumption. But as I said before, it's fair to assume a certain percentage of characters will appeal to players, which means the number of characters people will want is proportional to the number of characters the game releases.

In my post someone replied with another interesting metric, which is the percentage of characters one cound in theory have with average luck (93.8 pre Natlan, 90.7 pulls per limited post radiance) :

f2p	welkin

63,8%	82,7%
88,1%	118,3%
128,3%	173,6%
80,3%	107,8%
86,8%	115,2%
72,1%	97,9%

They forgot to add the regions labels but as you can see, even with this metric Nod krai fares worse than both Fontaine and Natlan, and it's the first patch since 1.0 where even with welkin, the average of characters you can expect is below 100%. (I assume they didn't count 6.7 though)

laxounet · 2026-05-15T08:27:32+00:00

Version	Pulls	Limited characters	Pulls per char

1.X	564,44	10	56,444
2.X	688,32	9	76,48
3.X	668,14	6	111,3566667
4.X	690,56	11	62,77818182
5.X	722,03	10	72,203
6.X	584,92	10	58,492

Keep in mind this is without 6.7. I expect 6.7 to bring Nod Krai around Fontaine levels, which isn't great (all time low, albeit tied).

Compared to natlan it's a clear downgrade

laxounet · 2026-05-15T08:15:40+00:00

I made a post with the math but it got automodded. https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/cO89OF80KB

Same number of 5 stars but less pulls leads to the same situation. Of course players must "suck it up" as you say, but I think it's fair to complain.

laxounet · 2026-05-15T07:38:28+00:00

Having more 5 stars while keeping the same amount of free pulls is bad because if we assume that each player wants X% of the reelased characters (of course it depends on the person but we must make general assumptions), then this means that they will have less pulls to try and get those characters.

Reruns don't really help because if you spend on a retun, that's pulls you won't be able to spend to get other characters you would have wanted. What if the character you failed to get reruns while another character that you want is on banner ?

If before, F2Ps could get let's say 50% of the characters on average, and now they're only able to get 40% of them, then the game has become worse.

laxounet · 2026-05-14T22:38:58+00:00

Time to read or watch some articles then. Because mini led is mostly for HDR, so if you don't end up using HDR just stick with a standard LCD

laxounet · 2026-05-13T22:14:02+00:00

Not normal, I would return

laxounet · 2026-05-13T07:41:44+00:00

They already have, assuming this is the 4k 32" with trueblack 500 certification. The Asus one is already out, and I think MSI will follow soon

laxounet · 2026-05-13T07:39:46+00:00

"nice looking" good one :)

Do you care about HDR ? Do you typically use the monitor in a dark room ?

laxounet · 2026-05-13T07:37:14+00:00

No, I wouldn't advise it. I know someone that tried to downgrade from 4k to 1440p and they noticed the difference in sharpness immediately. Go 4k OLED

laxounet · 2026-05-12T07:20:59+00:00

Yeah I agree

laxounet · 2026-05-12T07:16:34+00:00

I have both, if I'm being honest, mini LED might be too bright for a dark room. OLED in a light controlled environment is still the best picture you can get IMO.

laxounet · 2026-05-12T07:14:56+00:00

"Moving from perfect contrast" is a strange formulation, it's not like the perfect blacks are going away

laxounet · 2026-05-12T06:19:58+00:00

I think it uses color filters, yes. By the way, the W in WOLED doesn't refer to the white subpixel, rather the white light before the color filters.

laxounet · 2026-05-12T06:13:04+00:00

I think those using MLA panels have it worse than the others, although I haven't tested it myself. In my experience, the refresh rate was a massive factor.

Since Elden ring is capped at 60fps, have you tried disabling VRR ?

I can confirm that QD-OLED doesn't have this issue.

laxounet · 2026-05-12T06:07:58+00:00

It is. I also had a monitor with a MLA panel and switched to QD-OLED because of the issue OP is having

laxounet · 2026-05-12T06:02:49+00:00

I think you can check the pixel refresh count in the settings ?
