I'm getting BOTW to run at 5120 x 1440 at 90fps with ray-tracing

It uses 100% of my GPU, but looks and runs amazingly

I never played it. I guess it's my next game after I beat Jedi Survivor. I was gonna play Elden Ring next, but with the new Zelda coming out, I guess I should play BOTW first

 

[Obreh Winfrey]

Reinstalling Windows to get away from the Canary builds. The last one fukked my shyt up and the next update won't even apply.

The meat and potatoes have arrived

Just waiting on the water cooler and the motherboard tomorrow

 

[Ciggavelli]

I’ve been playing Elden Ring nonstop for the past few days. The game is fukking amazing.

bought a laptop with a 4070 and thinking I may return it since I can get a prebuilt with a 3080 for cheaper.

But IDK I know yall fanatic big boys in here but if I only plan on gaming on my 2560x1400 monitor is it even worth trading them seems like everything run at 60 at ultra already Ive tried (elden ring probs the most demanding shyt so far) and the laptop is fast as shyt for creating shyt like music

Laptop for reference

Even with this 4090 I'm only gonna be doing 2560x1080 gaming on this ultrawide LG monitor I have now and will eventually get a 1440p monitor at some point. 4K gaming is cool but the general opinion seems to be that 1440p is the sweet spot.....

In your specific situation the 4070 if you care about raytracing and that DLSS stuff.....but that 3080 still got more raw power but also uses more power so keep that in mind

I decided to return the laptop for the pc, not gonna be mobile with that machine and I already got a laptop with a 2060 and a steam deck if Im traveling

Not familiar with music creation requirements. Would 1tb be enough or do you carry around extra SSDs for storage?

I got a external ssd.

Honestly the turning point was me having to go get a monitor cuz the screen for the laptop is mid. And at that poiny i was like why dont i just get a pc im trolling

did you unlock the framerate, or keep it at 60?

 

[King Sun]

I';m still on a 1070ti now but I only play in 1080p. Might be time for a new build this summer.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Unlocked to 120 and playing in super ultrawide with Flawless Widescreen. I can't go online with it though or get banned (which is crazy because I'm not using any cheats at all).
