So the nvidia gpus only allow for 120fps at 8K (fail on nvidia's part :hubie:). Before, I thought there was no difference between 120 and 240, but there is if you really test it out. 8K at 240 is crazy though. shyt's unrealistic with today's tech

Yeah NVIDIA really screwed the pooch when they released the 4080/4090 with DisplayPort 1.4. HDMI 2.1 doesn’t have the bandwidth to handle high refresh rate 8k natively. I would assume that oversight will be corrected on 50 series.

yeah, cig's resolution is around 16.6 million pixels. 8k is 33 million pixels
That shyt is crazy :damn:

In no way are our current gpus up to the task of 8K then. We're like 2 or 3 generations out before that shyt will be viable.

I think that's fine, because the normal consumer needs to at least get to 1440 so that companies do a better job at content scaling. My laptop was at 4K before it was in the public consciousness and there was almost no native content. Things are just finally starting to catch up to high DPI content.

So I'll probably retire my 1660 ti at the end of the year. With all the new games coming, I need something that can at least let me game at 1440p high at 60 fps. I'll go green because I'll need that card profesionnally for renders so RTX is a must.

I'm eyeing a 4070 but I was wondering if the price jump for the 4070 is worth it. In France, the 4070 is around 700€ but the ti is 1k€:dwillhuh:

I've read that there maybe a 4070 Super in the oven that may or may not have 16gb VRAM which would be great for me above all if price wise, it lands between the 4070 and the 4070 ti.

I'm a casual gamer and I play like 5 meters from my TV. No need to max out everything tbf :manny:

But I'd like to play Cities Skylines and Forza so now is the time to finally make the jump. Any input on 4070 vs 4070 ti ?

Yo PC gamers are some cheap, annoying ass muhfukkas breh. I posted some components for sale on FB marketplace, I SHOWED the cost of the components via PCPARTPICKER and skimmed almost $500 off the top for my asking price, obviously since they’re not new anymore, and I have people messaging me bytching and moaning about how much they cost, etc. WTF, nobody is holding a gun to your head making you buy anything. I swear these people want top of the line shyt for next to nothing.

Anyway, the new Hyte Y70 looks pretty dope. If I wasn’t already about to put my system into an O11 Dynamic Evo XL, I’d probably give this a look.
