Got the 5070 Ti a few months ago (before the ai price hike) for my htpc, and I'm surprised how much it can rival and surpass my 4090 in games with the multi frame gen + path tracing, and also remain cool and energy efficient. I mean I can tell the ai frames aren't real in Crimson Desert thanks to the slight input lag, ghosting and artifacting grass, but smooth is smooth I guess

Fate of the Old Republic, we doin this?

FOTOR

This looks epic

 

We gonna talk about Switch 2? Been playing Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk (must have bought that game 4 times now)

Man Fume Knight used to destroy all 4 of us in co op back in the day

We doin GTA 6 next year? Got my PS5 Pro ready for it, hope it runs faster than 20fps

So we doing this again

Jensen getting competition from his cousin Lisa Su, is it a real competition?

Not sure if even 60xx will save us at this point, everything probably going to be a cloud ai solution next, hope i'm wrong

5090 has lot's of fake frames but only 20% more rasterization power than 4090, I'll probably check how DLSS 4 is on 4090 before upgrading

According to rumors, if all goes well, Nova Lake will come out with an additional cache tile. Intel will call that LLC (Last-Level-Cache) and is planned to basically be Intel's version of 3D V-Cache. Roadmapped for late 2026/early 2027. It'll be a while before prices for the X3D CPUs drop, there's just no incentive for AMD (or retailers) to do so.

Just in time for GTA 6 benchmarks 

I can see where they're going with the better efficiency, but having no/worse performance over last gen kinda makes this DOA

Haha skipping this

Any guess on price? $2500??

Yeah I haven't had any issues yet, but jeez this is a big L for intel. I will probably undervolt just to delay the inevitable and go AMD next round

Front and side 6 are intake and 4 going out at the top and rear. I put the exhaust on top since heat rises that direction

Used prime day sales to switch over the pc to the icue link cooling system. It was still a bit of a ripoff but I like that the fans daisy chain together with a single cable and things are about 10C cooler 

 

 

Just realized I've been a member here for 20 years now. 10 more and it will be 30 years, jeeeeeez

$20 a month for gamepass, next $30 and then $50, stop the price hikes or I'm out (I should already be out actually)

Made the most busted thorns sorcerer build in the elden ring dlc, and I'm 1 or 2 shotting many bosses who are vulnerable to bleed

Got me some 96GB of DDR5 6600. I got room for 192 gigs, but 4 sticks of DDR5 is still a bad idea

Look like Dishonored 

Nah we waiting for the 5090 now

No new hardware this year (like nothing good even came out) but got the 5000T case which keeps everything cooler

 

14900K looks like a letdown, like literally just a higher binned 13900k with some slight oc 

Yeah I see new graphics drivers are out today as well, so I'll do more testing. I do like Frame Generation, but it does introduce weird side effects sometimes so maybe it will look better with it off
