I apologise I wasn't aware of that. I thought you were just using that upscale thingy that I'm clearly familiar with the name of. The thing you set the factors for and then you can game at a res higher than native.
How come you use that though? I thought it was all about ultrawide master race
I actually put my C2 in 3840x1600 the other day and yeah still don't get it.

Dude, even I upgraded to the same monitor he has after selling my ultrawide Alienware. Been quite some time since he did.
As for the ultrawide master race, it was hilarious when he went for the 4K 16:9 after all his comments for years.
The same will happen with his 4090 when he gets a 5090. Hilarious stuff, Inhave my popcorn ready

I see it's part of the long game. Get a 4k monitor and then need a 5090.
And yes I remember all the drum banging about how ultrawide was the best and the flip flop has happened and now the new thing is the best
Like clockwork

At the time remember my comments were based on what was available then, no 240Hz OLED 4K panel existed, so when it did exist, I upgraded and it all made sense.
Also a 4K output just looks nicer with the extra vertical height I've realised so will only go back to ultrawide when the 40" panels are out as they will retain the height of a 32" 16:9 panel whilst having the benefit of the extra width of 21:9.
Ultrawide is still better for immersion and multitasking, but it has to be the right size for the res, which is now 5120x2160 for 21:9 at 39 or 40", anything lower is not sufficient.
DLDSR yeah, I used it in a few games back when I was using the ultrawide, obviously no need on native 4K panel though and now all my gaming is done on that because it's a gen 3 panel and has some pros over gen 1 QD-OLED as found on all 34" ultrawides today, such as 240Hz refresh, better panel characteristics, slightly tighter colour calibration from factory and the biggest of all for me, no annoying fan noise which the DW has.I apologise I wasn't aware of that.

I only play HDR in games that have good HDR implementation built in, to date I can only think of 2 maybe 3 that have this, everything else is either too over exposed on highlights or not enough black detail or something just doesn't feel right. I don't bother with RTX HDR or Windows Auto HDR as no game I have tried it on has produced nice enough results to warrant using. Some people find them fine, but I want absolute picture quality/accuracy, so if that means playing SDR in games with HDR that is lacking, then yeah that's what I prefer.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 specs all “boring” except RTX 5090, says tech leaker
Aside from the flagship gaming GPU, the specs of RTX 5080, 5070, and 5060 graphics cards are reportedly similar to their Ada predecessors.

They unannounced the 4080 at launch because it got roasted for having 12GB and priced as if it was a vintage Rolex.
Was mission accomplished by Jensen though after the 4080 12gb jebaited AMD into launching the 7900XT at $900 then it returned a couple of months later as a 4070ti for $800 and actually offered better price to performance than its competition and was recommended over the 7900XT in reviews.

lol what revisionist history is this? Both the 7900 XT and the 4070Ti were rubbished for their release pricing by the people who mattered AND by some of the more popular tech sites.
GN didn’t like it
Neither did HUB
The 4070Ti was barely over 15% faster than the 3080 at 4K for an extra $100 - $150. It was a regression on price/performance, just like the 7900 XT.
Let’s not pretend the 4070Ti price/performance was anything other than crap on release. It was barely better than the 7900 XT and that was a low bar.
The only person Jenson “jebated” was you it seems.

While it wasn’t a very exciting product Most reviewers recommend it over the 7900XT for the above reasons and it ended up outselling the 7900XTX and 7900XT combined by 5-1
4070 Ti has been a great card for me. Super efficient after undervolting. People bang on about it's 4K performance but who games at 4K native when you have DLSS available these days? I use DLSS Performance mode and thus rendering at 1080p.
Here is a TPU review of where the card stands at 1080p:
Not bad at all for the 575 notes it cost me brand new over a year ago
Oh and you got humbug saying his 7800 XT is 4070 Ti performance. Yea, ok..
