Best case scenario:

Worst case scenario:

I never understood why or how Sophie Rain got so popular. Sure, she is like somewhat cute in the face but her body is mostly average. She also claims she is a virgin which I highly doubt and only says that to attract gullible and stupid desperate men.

She is the type of a girl you see in college every single day lol. Boggles my mind why people are into her.

Fun fact, she lives about 40 minutes away from where I live.

Back on topic - good luck getting this new GPU lol.

Not the dumbest. That would go to those who say that anything above 30 fps is meaningless.

Believe it or not, I often envy those people who enjoy and can play games at 30 fps. I simply cannot. 60 fps is pretty agonizing, but I can tolerate it on my PS5. For PC I need at least 90. 144 is where I am actually happy. 180 and above is really where I prefer. If we still had CRT, I could easily tolerate those lower frames. 30 fps on a CRT is a night and day difference vs LCD/OLED. 60 fps on CRT is amazingly butter smooth.

That's where I think the LCD/OLED breakthrough can come from: figuring out a way to mimic how CRT presents an image, rather than trying to chase the mythical 1000fps/1000Hz.

120Hz BFI is pretty amazing. I would actually love to see Sony push for 72 fps as the minimum and push TV makers to include 144Hz BFI. where a black image is inserted between each of the 72 frames. There are just so many good options that can improve low framerate motion clarity.

I am amazed that Asus is really the only monitor manufacturer that uses BFI for OLED.

My reaction was first and foremost because of the use of the word "you" and the blanket assertion, and the apparent lack of understanding of how everything is contextual and subjective.

But yeah, I get it. 120 fps is my current minimum (I simply don't have to settle for less). and 200+ is where I no longer care that much. But of course, in some games it's naturally less important than others.

I remember the arcades decades ago, which mostly ran games at 60fps and beyond. Some of the vector based arcade machines went up to ~100Hz on a CRT screen, and the effective appearance of those technologies infamously felt like hundreds of frames per second (and with hardly any input lag). So, I was hardly ever content with anything less after that...

I'd rather they announce Gamer Day at the factory.
One day of the year where the production lines only run for the gamers.
RTX 5060's launching out of t-shirt cannons into the crowd at the Super Bowl type stuff.

I think soon these massive GPUs will need an internal power supply and use a standard AC wall plug into the back to power them separate from the PC

Stopped reading after this.

The truth can upset people, but I don't blame you for not understanding women. Through films and even games, our culture program certain beliefs about women in young men, turning them into effeminate wimps who believe they cant attract women without spending money on them or looking like a young model / a chad. If you think women are shallow, good luck paying for their time — they still won't like you and will probably cheat on you with some poor guy (like my cousin example).

Bro, ur cousin was 1 in 10k men chad, literally, u said it urself, former boxer, muscular build, magnetic personality, and he was of avg height which is fine too
U know what it takes for a man in his 40s to be able to pull women in their prime(18-25)? As a 43yo guy myself, a lot
Avg looks man wont pull woman in her prime even if he is rich/has some kind of status(not A-list celeb but lawyer/doctor), for ur cousin to be so popular even in his 40s it means he had to be extremly handsome/charismatic/chickmagnet, we all know of such a guy but its 1 and only guy we knew in our hood/area, they are extremly rare

Edit: Dont think chads are only of henry cavil/chris hemsworth/young brad pit/young leo lvl, those are chads above chads, those guys made generational wealth of their looks( worldrenown actors), there is plenty chads that are tier or two below them and they are still 3 leagues above avg guy like u or myself

Sure, my cousin was good-looking in his twenties. In fact, he literally looked like a young Johnny Depp (similar hair and face) but he definitely didn't look like that in his forties. He still looked healthy (like someone who takes care of his looks) thanks to calisthenics and boxing, however, he quickly went bald. He looked more like Vin Diesel, so imagine a bald man with a smile. That smile never left my cousin, he always smiles and jokes with peoeple, so he is funny to be around. Even the men like him a lot. One of the best speedway drivers in Poland was a good friend of his, and he paid my cousin just to accompany him on holiday. Can you imagine a friend spending 10 thousand zlotys ($3000) just for your company? My cousin has a magnetic personality that works not just with women, but with everyone. People just like my cousin and want to hang out with him.

My cousin and I have similar genes (his mother and my mother are sisters), yet when I was young I wasn't as successful at attracting women as he was because I was into playing games and that made me weak and not very social. When I was in school, I thought that looks were the most important thing for women., so I only invested in improving this aspect of my "game" believing looks will do everything for me. I saw some convincing results from focusing on my appearance, because attractive woman in my school and social circle noticed me and started showing signs of interest. In fact frequently women that I liked were approaching me first and asking to hang out and that's something that never happened to any of my friends. However, when I started talking, women I liked lost their initial interest. Like I said, I wasn't very social and I lacked experience. I didn't know what to say and do when women showed signs of interest. I remember going for a haircut and my hairdresser commented that I could probably get any woman I wanted because she never saw a better looking man. If only she knew the truth! I couldn't develop relationships with women because I could only make a good first impression based on my looks, which I couldn't sustain. I simply lacked of social skills and my character was repealing women. Unfortunately, that's what games do to people. They make you happy and allow you to escape your daily life. However, they alienate you and won't teach you how to interact with people, especially women.

But thanks to my cousin, I realized what I had to change to sustain women's initial attraction. In fact I learned not only to sustain that initial interest, but even create it without initial attraction towards me. If I were to switch bodies with an average man in his 40ies, I would have trouble initially because women have eyes, too, and they will not respond well if a man looks unhealthy and will not pass their minimal looks criteria. However, I would use my current knowledge and skills to transform that average-looking body to the point that even young, attractive women would start noticing me. Maybe not as easily as with my current body and genetics, but I could definitely still be able to attract young women at your age (43). Many young women are attracted to older men in their 40s, but if you feel you're too old and not good enough for them, that's fine by me.

Really all Nvidia has to do is make a 16gig 5070 for $499 for the next 2 years. Most games I play these days at 4k are always around 11 - 15gig vram on average. That 12gig isn't cutting it at 4k.

[FStubbs]

Women aren't as shallow as most men think. Although women may want wealthy men, they don't use logic to choose romantic partners. They follow their emotions. If a woman likes a man, she is even willing to pay for his time.

I will share a story that will hopefully make people realise the true nature of women and what they really want.

My cousin Sebastian was broke, and his mum even made him move to the basement as a punishment for refusing to take care of his child. My aunt thought that, by doing this, women would lose interest in her son, and he would rethink his life and finally get a job, and take care of his child. However, my aunt underestimated her son, because women still wanted to sleep with him despite living in the basement!!!! Women would harass my aunt at 6am, asking where my cousin Sebastian was because they were in love with him and wanted to talk to him even at 6 am. It was a comedy that happened in real life. I remember visiting my aunt and we always joked about that.

My cousin was good-looking, but not exactly a Chad type that you see on TV shows. He was just 176 cm tall, had a muscular build and a good-looking face, but he went bald quickly. However, despite his shortcomings (having no job, car or future), my cousin had a magnetic character that attracted women. He oozed confidence (he was even a boxer for few years) but he was also funny and romantic. Women and people in general loved being around him, which is what attracted so many attractive women to him. Even in his forties, young women aged 18–25 were still wanted to sleep with him.

So no, hot women dont need wealthly men to want romantic relationship. If man is however ugly and have unatractive character (being weak, acting like a woman) they may however be attracted to the money. You can pay for a woman's time, but she won't desire you and will secretly find someone she's really attracted to. Many wealthy men finds that their beautiful wives cheat on them. Men who use money to attract women often find themselves in extremely toxic relationships and an unhappy life.

I don't think my cousin is a good role model for men, but his example shows that women aren't as shallow as men think. Take care of your looks because it will certainly help, and earn good money to raise your kids in a good environment. Just be a good person who enjoys life.

Maybe he had a hog. Or he's just really charismatic and should try running for office.

Most games? I curious what games you play, because I game at 4K too and most games use around 9-12GB even at this resolution. I played maybe ten games that used 12-15 GB, and I don't think that's a lot, considering how many games I played in total during the last 2 years since I bought my current GPU the RTX4080S which has 16GB VRAM.

I think most gamers would probably use the RTX5070 with a 2560x1440 monitor. At this resolution, I would have trouble finding a game that would be VRAM-limited because of that 12 GB VRAM.

Right now I'm playing Doom The Dark Ages and I cant see anywhere near 15GB VRAM usage. Keep in mind, I'm talking about real VRAM usage, not allocation. Although games can allocate up to 32 GB of VRAM to the 5090, that doesn't mean the game will use that much.

Games like FF16, FFrebirth, Cyberpunk, hogwarts,

Even that new pragmata game takes up more than 12gigs of vram in 4k.

 

[David_Android]

If you played at 240 fps on a 4K, 240 Hz monitor, you would quickly change your mind. Sure, 60 fps is still enjoyable (especially in games like borderlands 3 that have ultra low input lag), but the motion looks blurry and the mouse movement feels heavier than it does at 160–240 fps. Playing first-person shooter games at 160–240 fps drastically improved my experience. It's not a small difference.

I did im still fine with 60.

Games like FF16, FFrebirth, Cyberpunk, hogwarts,

Even that new pragmata game takes up more than 12gigs of vram in 4k.

Cyberpunk is one of the few games in my extensive library that can allocate up to 15 GB of VRAM at 4K, with settings that could only really be handled by an RTX 5090. I don't think that will be a problem for the RTX 5070 user, a card designed for 1440p gaming. Also bear in mind that the actual VRAM usage in Cyberpunk, even at 4K, is only around 10 GB, so I think the 5070 with 12 GB VRAM would still suffice. Even if VRAM would be spilled a little bit into system RAM, PCIe 5.0 should handle that. Hardware Unboxed proved that fast PCIE can drastically reduce performance drop and stutters in VRAM limited situation.

Cyberpunk, I used playable / usable settings, not 4K native, because this game is extremely demanding at 4K with PT and even Ultra RT. As my results shows, at 4K VRAM can be allocated up to 15GB VRAM, but real usage was still around 10GB VRAM.

utterly nonsense for max 5-10% more perf. There is not even a full fat blackwell for the professional section yet.

3090TI was the last one in gaming.

Will not happen.

 

[Corporal.Hicks]

I did im still fine with 60.

On CRT or plasma I would accept 60fps too, at least in most games, but laggy games would still DRASTICALLY benefit from 120fps and higher. On sample and hold display 60fps motion clarity is just not very good though. On OLED I need 240Hz just to match plasma TV motion clarity.

Funny you say that when taa can make 4k look like 1080p. and 1080p without taa especially on older games looks sharper than 4k dlss. who cares if the game sucks no amount of pixel or frames will save it.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

There is not even a full fat blackwell for the professional section yet.

Doesn't need to be. The extra SMs (albeit not all), 48 GB memory, and maybe more than 600 W might be enough to make a product. More than 600 W would be crazy tho.

Old games with good old MSAA offer a razor-sharp image indeed. Here are a couple of my Max Payne 2 screenshots at 4K with 4x MSAA.

1080p without AA definitely does not look better than 4K TAA or DLAA on 4K monitor, not even close.

1080p without AA

4K without AA

4K DLAA

4K TAA

1080p without anti-aliasing (AA) looks horrible compared to 4K DLAA and TAA. Even 4K without anti-aliasing looks clearly worse because of the distracting, ant-like shimmering around moving vegetation. DLAA (and even TAA or DLSS) offer sharp image, without shimmering.

When I had 1440p LCD monitor 1440p TAA native looked a little bit blurry, but on my current 4K OLED even TAA native look reasonably sharp, while DLAA 4.0 or even DLSS 4.0 look almost as sharp as good old MSAAx4 (even motion motion clarity is amazing). 1080p without AA definitely does not look better.

4K DLAA 4.0
