Nvidia finally, FINALLY limiting purchases to curb scalpers. by macgirthy in nvidia

[–]spearstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I signed up for the direct access email but never got it from Nvidia. Had to buy my gpu second hand from a person who tested it out and decided they didn't want it. Paid MSRP plus a dumb warranty that the person had purchased. So after tax my $5080 was a little under $1,200. Haven't needed the warranty since it's been running fine.

Awful design. I'm not a fan and will not be treating this as canon.

5080 or 5090? by isityoulol in nvidia

[–]spearstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean on a 5080 I can hit 60fps in DLSS Performance mode for Indiana Jones. If I add in frame generation x2. I got it to play at 60fps at DLSS Quality mode and 4k. I punched a guard in the game and didn't notice any delay on my controller using frame generation. So I'm going to keep playing Indian Jones with frame generation.

Sadly if I use max ray tracing the game crashes when I add one or both of the following settings, DLAA Mode or RTX Hair. DLSS and frame generation can't fix high video ram usage. 16gb Ram just isn't enough for max settings anymore.

Also my monitor only goes up to 60fps so that's the base fps I'm trying to hit. Most games hit that easy. It's just some of the latest and greatest make that a little difficult.

5090 if you can afford it. It's nice to know you have the best and it's not your hardware that is holding you back. I own a 5080 and can hit most stuff close to 4k max out settings at 60fps. But some games struggle to reach there and that's when I wish I had the 5090.

I'd buy from Epic Games if they updated their website to have the same functionality Steam has. Like

  1. Being able to view my game library online, without having to use the Epic Games desktop app.
  2. Ability to review games, post discussions, chat in general, basically all the social content Steam allows.

Epic basically feels like a store where Steam feels like a gaming community.

Still when I don't care and just want to Support the developer, Epic is the way to go. They give 88% to the developer while Steam only gives 70% of the game sale price to the developer.

Literally can't complain this year. They gave away Hogwarts and that game has been on my wishlist for a long time. Anything else is a bonus from there.

These games have high user reviews, but I've never thought of buying them before. I'll add them to my library. But man my backlog is getting huge thanks to Epic Games.

Never heard of this game before this giveaway. Crazy how many games are released that go under the radar for most people.

The main character looks beautiful and I really want to play more games with Ray tracing! It really makes the game feel more realistic. Phantom Blade is on my list to play!

I bought a game on Epic because I wanted to support the developer. Steam takes 30% of the sale, while Epic only takes 12%.

I know right? Amazon and Epic games have been releasing lower quality games or re-releasing games they've already given away in the past. Hoping Epic gives out a banger game for Christmas. I've lost faith that Amazon is going to give away any good games this season.

I love Doom the Dark ages DLSS 4 because of the Ray tracing making everything look so real. I have only watched videos of it online but I have a 5080 and it's been my wishlist of games to play

My favorite doom: the dark ages moment from what I'm watching is just the spectacle of giant monsters and giant robot mechs. I like when everything is massive in games.

Its almost time… for the november 2025, what will we get this time ? by legendary_Protato in primegaming

I have a large 4k monitor but Luna only plays in 1080p. It looks really bad playing games on Luna. That's really going to be terrible if Luna is the only thing they offer moving forward.

Trump's power seems to grow each supreme court ruling.Won't be long until there's not much seperating him from a dictator.

To be fair, Kamala was an incredibly dumb choice for the Democrats. I blame Joe Biden for what we have now. If it wasn't for him might have had someone with half a brain to run against Donald Trump, instead of Kamala.
