I have a RTX 4090 and a 4K 144hz 43"monitor (with freesync). A few points to note: DLSS is a god-send whenever it is available. There are no games that I play which have DLSS that I wouldn't activate it for - the visuals at 4K are 99% as good as native in my (albeit limited) experience. Few...

B The Gainwood 4090 deal was, in the context of these crazy prices, quite good and pushed me to get one! Lowest 4090 price I've seen.

Based on benchmarks, and my propensity to turn off wasteful graphics settings, I'd expect to be getting 120 fps on all my games at 4k at the moment. Going forward, I don't mind DLSS 2.0 on Quality settings, so I think I could stretch it further in the future with that. I genuinely think 4 years...

Pulled the trigger on the Gainwood 4090 at £1499 as a crazy impulse buy. Don't quite have the money, but decided to use savings and will recover a good chunk from sale of my 3080. I don't think that price I'd a good deal, and the 4090 should be around £1,250 for me, but given my 4k 144hz...

One of the 4090s is down to £1,500 at the moment. Seriously tempted to sell my 3080 and upgrade now that I'm on 4k 144hz monitor (and am particularly sensitive to anything below 120 fps).

Question - What are people's expectations in relation to the price of the RTX 4000 series in the context of below: 1) Will drop this year  vs won't ever drop 2) Will reduce gradually until EOL  vs price drop annoucement leading to sudden shift 3) Ti / Super models for the 80 & 90 series will...

"Introducing Nvidia Finance - The Way Its Meant To Be Paid"

I downloaded CP2077 to try out the new Path Tracing (and also look at the Ray Tracing again, which I never really played with). Whilst I hear all the praise for the Path Tracing, and have seen some nice on/off screenshots, I have to say that I don't really see any great benefit to it. I can...

Whilst I do no know this with any certainty or confidence, I'm concerned that any modern game from a large developer comes with ultra settings that add no noticeable improvement to visual fidelity but that are, perhaps intentionally, computationally heavy so to lower performance and make...

What do you guys think the outlook is for the price of the 4080 and 4090 in 2023? You could extend this to the 4070 Ti as well. Having recently moved to a 4k 144hz monitor, I could certainly put to use a 4080 or 4090, and would be happy to pay more than the 3080 MSRP for that, but the current...

Yeah, my bad. I don't disagree with the future of RTX at all, but my point was specifically about people in the comments of that F1 2022 video jumping to RTXs defense whilst simultaneously proving they can't actually see the difference without going into analysing mode. Until RTX starts to make...

That makes no sense. Given that people don't have infinite performance, you should run your games at whatever graphical quality you can appreciate and no higher. So many games have Ultra settings which offer no visual improvement over Very High when you compare them, so why accept a lower frame...

I watched that F1 2022 video and it infuriates me the comments people make about RTX. They are so quick to point out that they can clearly tell which one is the RTX video (e.g. "you can see the reflections on the tyres, the halo, the crash barriers" etc.). But that's not the point. People don't...

The only thing I can see changing raster needs is a mass wave of games pushing the UE5 engine to its max. But for now, I would say that the 3080 gives the average gamer 95% of what they need from a GPU, and whilst a 4070 (4080 12GB) would get them to 100%, that extra 5% costs £300 which is just...

I can understand the irony of lowering the graphics quality in order to increase the graphics quality, but I guess it depends on whether you get more for what you sacrifice. But if you put RT to one side, and I think you must because it's still a limited technology only present in a minority of...

I'm aware of those RT folk (and would love some examples of those games that look better, and I meant gameplay not screenshots). But as I said in my post, what is the point of these cards for the majority of people who don't care for RT at this stage in its life?

I am now gaming at 4k 144hz and have a 3080 10GB. Ignoring DLSS, I get 90-144 FPS on all the games I play with no compromises to the graphics settings. I haven't seen any games where RT makes a material difference to the visuals that I would care to enable it. Given all of the above, what would...

Finally the day has arrived when we will no longer plug our GPUs into our PCs, but rather plug our PCs into our GPU :D

I did find a YouTube video which was a recording of a QD-OLED next to the FV43U which was quite good. Now obviously there are issues with this; you are watching a video recording, which has been compressed, and doing so via another monitor which affects everything. That said, it was still a...

Thanks for this man. I think for the moment I will hold fire for the moment. I do think that its flaws are probably not a big issue for me (I am on a £300 VA panel at the moment), but with the noise around QD-OLED, mini LED etc I might do a wee bit more research to make sure I fully understand...
