    How many here got there RTX 5090 / 5080 Out of Stock Edition

    I got an E-mail. Not sure what I'm going to do. Probably sell my 4090 to someone. EDIT: Wow my 4090 sold on EBAY for the same price that I paid for my 5090. It took 20 seconds to sell it. Crazy world.

    4K monitors were out more than a decade ago but why is gaming at this resolution still such a big deal?

    The death of SLI. GPU production slowed to less than half the speed it used to be. Costs. Lack of substantial gains and about to hit a brick wall at 1nm. We now rely on upscaling and fake frames just to push games like cyberpunk from 3 years ago on $5000 GPU's. Substantial increases in...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    Bullet holes on bodies was broken with the 1.3 patch. The developers are aware of it and have already fixed it for the next patch. They have also stated that night vision will be officially added into the game at some point. This was confirmed by one of the developers on facebook.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    No you can't. It's like the first two games but there is a mod that adds the ability that works pretty great. It's nice to see they will officially add it at some point and that means they will be forced to rebalance the economy. I'm hoping for a super hardcore mode.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    Well this is just for Q2 of 2025 so it will probably come later. I hadn't heard of the original trilogy update either and it will be interesting to see what they do with it. The DLC and raytracing will probably come toward the end of the year if I had to guess. This looks promising though...

    Schedule 1 - Early Access Simulator Game - blowing up on Steam

    I'd say it's even worse than Nintendo in this case. Imagine if Rockstar sued the developers of Saint's Row. Pathetic.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I'm assuming that the ray tracing will improve lighting and shadows but I could be wrong. They have stated that they will release a ray tracing upgrade and official mod tools in the future. The DLC content is already available for pre order and you can see some of the DLC locations on the...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I agree and if you look at the past games they were just as bad even when the war was not going on. This isn't a development studio in California and it doesn't have the budget of many of these large scale failures we keep seeing. I'm not sure what people are complaining about because it looks...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm not a big fan of reshades and in most cases there is a better way of balancing things with modding tools. In my opinion Nova Lut for Cyberpunk is very good. It balances the light much more realistically and gets rid of the slow as molasses eye adaptation. As an HDR user the Nova Lut HDR...

    Path of Exile 2

    I'm about to jump back in to this and see where it has gone. I didn't dig too deep on my first play of the game. I noticed a lot of complaining followed by a bunch of mini updates. They are in a good position to take new feedback and keep improving before launch so I'm just going to go into...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    The tweaks I supplied earlier will fix all pop in with this game while improving visuals and performance. All FPS limitations that I'm currently having are CPU related as my 4090 is always under 100% utilization when my FPS drops below 120. The entire game runs at about 115FPS for me other...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    The original games needed unofficial patches to remove game breaking bugs. A-life didn't work in the original game and while it did work in COP it was still very basic compared to anomaly. It's a huge problem for the CPU and general performance which is why stalker 2 actually runs better than...

    9950x3d reviews and discussions

    I decided to skip this gen. Sold out in 30 seconds and scalped across the internet just like the 5090. I might as well chase Pokemon cards at this point.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I'm talking about the latest version of DLSS that you can download from techpowerup. Just drop it in the game like all the others and it will make a world of difference. As for DLSS 4, I think Nvidia's drivers do support it but the game does not come with it or support it officially. One...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I wouldn't go below a 4070 series if you want to play this. Without FG it jitters and feels terrible even with 60+ fps. With FG it's great for me. At the moment, using the performance tweaks mod from nexus combined with the latest DLSS has made the game amazing but I'm using a really high...

    I'm not young either but I don't make up dumb excuses to justify terrible decisions. My post was poking fun at your excuse and pointing out that life has a lot of aspects to it that are more important than gaming. Of course it's up to you how you spend your money and I have no problem with that...

    Man, that sucks. After a lifetime of ground breaking adventures on $500 GPU's you are finally at the end of your rope and you are stuck paying $3000+ for a 30% improvement every 3 years on paperware so you can play terrible games that are aimed at Disney kids like Star Wars Outlaws and Avowed...

    I don't have memory leaks in Rostok with the latest patch but I did run into one in the cooling towers Duty base. I didn't have any Memory Leak issues until patch 1.4 where they were trying to fix the problem for lower end systems. Now they have fixed it in some locations but I think it's a...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    For me, things are fine but I haven't had any problems most of my time with the game. I had the game crash a handful of times from a memory leak. I have 64GB of system ram though so it usually only happens if I play for a really long time. Most of the pop in has been fixed and the game is...

    The story is starting to get much more interesting for me. I just finished upgrading the Siaga 14 and I'm starting to clear stashes around the red forest. I know the current spawn system is not as good as the A Life of old and I feel that AI in general could use some improvements but things...

    It's much larger than I expected as well. My only advise is to take your time and if you start feeling tired then take a break. Don't force it or try to get through it in a hurry. It will just lower the entertainment you get out of it. I'm at 150 hours and I'm still further out from the end...

    Finished the mutant tracking device quest. I took a new RPG with 8 rockets to take on the giant and I killed him with the last rocket. Those things absorb way to much damage. I'm in Yantar, looking forward to hitting Pripyat for the first time. I'm trying to finish this up for now so I can...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    Yeah the story hasn't done much for me either. It's not bad but story has always taken a back seat to the open world gameplay in this series. I think this will be a really great sandbox for the modding community some day and hopefully some interesting projects will pop up once the mod tools...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I'm gonna finish this one up this week. I've decided that waiting for a 5090 is probably not a good idea since Nvidia didn't care enough to make any. Oh well, 6 years with no improvement is something I'm used to from back in my console days. I plan to replay this with mods but I'm going to...

    Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

    This launch snuck up on me. Given that this was built upon the trials and tribulations of the first game, I've always figured this would end up fairly polished. Reviews from actual gamers seem positive. I'll give it a shot sometime this week.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    Just a reminder since the goal posts continue to keep moving. UBI went out of it's way to use a racist and sexist program to hire unqualified morons who then took an IP, a game engine, and the tools created by real game developers of the past and would then copy/paste gameplay for an easy cash...

    New Nvidia drivers

    Hitman World Of Assassination won't launch at all on the epic store. The screen goes black and locks up. Reverting to previous drivers fixes the problem.

    No 5090 - Cool!

    I lucked out and got a 4090 from newegg on launch day but it was total luck. All of the cards sold out in one second and I refreshed the page 5 minutes later and one card popped back up and I bought it. Probably somebody that bought multiple cards with a bot and decided to cancel one of them...

    No 5090 - Cool!

    As you can probably tell I am annoyed that I couldn't get one today because this is the third GPU launch which took 8 freaking years for 3 card launches and all of them were launched like this. They don't even perform very well and it's annoying. I'm not going to visit best buy's site...

    Again your not paying attention to what I'm saying. I said that I didn't want a 9800X3D but that I saw it sold out and being scalped on amazon and newegg. Armenius posted pictures of it being sold out and scalped at newegg up above in this very thread. I'm not saying you can't find one for...

    No 5090 - Cool!

    They are on Ebay for about $2000 which would pay for a 5090 but I only glanced at them. They may or may not be actually selling at those prices. I would hope not but I'm pretty sure they do sell sometimes.

    No 5090 - Cool!

    233 microcenter 5090's? Wow, I can't imagine that took long to produce. I wonder why nobody can find one? Oh well, they are $7000 on ebay if you really need one lol.

    No 5090 - Cool!

    And I bought a 4090 for MSRP on launch day. Doesn't mean they were not short of supply and scalped like crazy.
  36. T

    No 5090 - Cool!

    It's possible and you are probably correct but look at the 5080 and 5090. People will spend $1600 on scalped 5080's that are slower than $1600 4090's from 3 years ago.

    I understand that and I appreciate you trying help me out but like I said, I'm not in the market for a 9800X3D and I've been in this industry for 20+ years so I understand how Amazon and Newegg 3rd party rip off's work. It doesn't change the fact that there was a shortage of chips and they were...

    I'm not, they show up on searches for GPU's and I notice them. I'm not looking for a 9800X3D and the 9550 isn't here.

    No 5090 - Cool!

    I wouldn't know about AMD other than I have seen unusually high asking prices for the 9800x3D on newegg and amazon. I never had an interest in the 9800X3D because I'm a 7950X3D user who needs the extra cores for content creation. I won't be shocked if the 9550X3D doesn't show up or it's...

    No 5090 - Cool!

    I've seen it appear above MSRP online but I don't live near a microcenter. I'd be more interested in the upcoming 9550X3D but my point is that AMD's competition has dropped out and Nvidia's competition has dropped out. Now all they do is make unreliable quantities of chips that usually get...
