Yeah this is pretty much asking for a new rig at this point, might as well just say screw it and get the 13900K as well I also have been playing Caesar 3 on my Windows 95 Pentium 2 emulator, and yeah it totally holds up

Yeah I've known about these 4090 designs since July, but I haven't told anyone due to NDA. Zotac is supposed to send me the new card when they launch next month, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to get a new case and PSU for it (I just bought a case 6 months ago blah)

Yeah with 3080ti I can play comfortably at 5K/120 Gsync (with tweaked settings and DLSS of course). I bet with RTX 4090 you can turn off the DLSS though

Intel Larrabee finally released??

RTX 4000 may be delayed to December due to mass excess of RTX 3000 gpus https://www.tomsguide.com/news/nvidia-rtx-4000-gpus-could-be-pushed-back-but-theres-good-news

Man I just been playing all my games on Steam Deck lately. It's making me too lazy to turn on my rig, so best I can post right now are screenies in 720p

Finally got my deck last week and put on all the heavy hitters like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk, and older games like F.E.A.R and Oblivion. Even put in a 1tb Sandisk Extreme SD to expand the storage to 1.5tb. The speed on the SD is pretty much the same as the nvme, and I'm baffled at that. Aside from some glitches here and there, I think Steam OS wins as a gaming platform due to its efficiency in handling big titles in a low power form factor, its really well optimized. Being able to play games fully maxed out and modded compared to low vanilla settings on the Switch counterparts is a big plus as well. Now all it needs is an oled screen like the Switch has...

I been doing corsair cases for 5 years now, and first thing I do is toss the hdd holders; hdds are so ancient and will bring your system down. If I need extra cheap space I use an external usb 3 drive or something. You can also look into setting up a server drive. I have a 20tb NAS setup where I keep movies and share files between PCs.

Finally figured out how to dump my PS5 screenshots onto PC. PS5 interface sucks lol. Lets hope image host don't give me bandwidth exceeded

Yeah it's from Luke Ross, and all of his mods are very well done and scalable on different hardware. There are different visual presets you can specify, depending on what your pc can handle. I've been able to get it running smoothly on a 1080ti (medium), 2080ti (high), and a 3080ti (ultra) I can get by pretty smoothly at 6K resolution maxed out on the Pimax 8KX. But cranking it to 8K resolution (native for that headset) is very choppy, but it looks extremely good (like it's the exact same game you see in the screen, but you are inside it with no visual compromises). You are almost literally in the wild west at that point. I see those visuals as a preview for what the next gen will be able to give you. Like a RTX 4090 preview maybe

RDR2 with VR Mod = Time Travel

Hmmm tested my iphone and no crashes so far

Elden Ring with VR mod

Some Unreal 5 action. Cool to finally be able to edit that PS5 Matrix demo on PC

No I'm just adjusting contrast and exposure in the game's photo mode. I'm not even running raytracing in those shots, since anything past 4K the RT tanks the game bad (in this gen at least) I'm liking imgur so far, but it's limitation is that screenshots must be under 5mb to get the full resolution, otherwise it shrinks the shots down to just 5K.

woot now imgur allowing 16K (with a bit of compression), I remember when this resolution used to crash browsers

Yeah I recently got the Gigabyte FO48U and it's been cool so far; 4K 120hz, OLED, HDR, Gsync, acts like a gaming monitor (and not a Smart TV). Colors and brightness really pop. Infinity blacks. I guess only need to watch out for that screen burn-in that OLED is famous for

When I upgraded from last-gen (PS4 Pro + XBONEX) to PS5 + XB Series X, the differences in visuals were not clear to me as well, and this is on a Samsung 85" QLED. Granted those old consoles were already running most games in 1440p, so bumping that to 4K only gets a bit of improvement. What stood out to me more is the higher framerates and faster loading. I've been underwhelmed with the Series X raytracing implementation in games so far (Watchdogs and Cyberpunk /w Xbox RT is pretty bad actually). However on PS5 there's Ratchet and Clank and Horizon Forbidden West (and sometimes Gran Turismo 7) which have been a good showcase on what raytracing can do; especially when it's baked into the look of the game from the start, and not an afterthought. Ratchet is probably the only game not possible on last-gen, due to the way it uses the PS5 NVME drive to insta-load complex levels on top of levels

Was going to just blow the upgrade budget on a 3090ti but figured that my 8700K would bottleneck any large gpu upgrade, so I got the alderlake and built a whole new box and got 3080ti to hold me over, then I can go all out on the 4xxx series when that arrives. Upgrading from the 8700K was a good idea as the 12900K absolutely slaps (wish I held out a little longer for the KS version, oh well). 3080ti is still good too, I can finally play most vr games on the 8KX at full resolution. It's only 10% less powerful than a 3090ti and 60% less cost

16K images possible in a browser yet? Hmm colors seem off

Yeah I had to build a new PC for this, as it was a bit choppy on my last-gen hardware (8700k, 2080ti). I'm currently playing it on the Pimax 8KX VR so I got the 12900k and 3080ti to run it well at 6K ultrawide FOV @72fps. Going to take another generation or so for cyberpunk to be smooth at full 8K VR
