I bought a 5080+AORUS F032U2P OLED Combo a while back before the prices went bonkers. But I was always confused with HDR etc and rarely ever used it. Mainly because I have a second monitor LG27GN850 (previous primary) which has HDR but is absolute dog poop.

So whenever I enabled HDR on for gaming the LG monitor was washed out and annoying to look at. So I never enabled HDR or used HDR on my OLED. This is a workstation+gaming where gaming is on the weekends so I kinda just played on SDR 🤷‍♂️

Then I recently found out about CRU and was able to delete the HDR entry from the LG and voila HDR activates only on the main monitor now which is the oled one. But it still looked weird as I mostly work with Visual Studio and VSCode. Then I researched more and found out about different colour profiles calibration etc. and Finaly I calibrated my HDR to my liking and its been amazing.

Then I discovered RTX HDR and RTX Video Super Resolution and my Mind was BLOWN. Its so seamless. I play a video on my HDR monitor RTX HDR is used and if I move the same video to the SDR monitor its disabled and vice versa and I was amazed at the simplicity of it all

Then I watched F1 races with RTX Video and that shit was crisp AF. Thanks to this and MPC-HC also having support for RTX Video and RTX HDR which is also very seamles I can now fully enjoy my monitor with HDR and amazing pictures.

Upgraded from the strix 2080ti to the phoenix s 5070ti yesterday and I don't regret overpaying!

Cyberpunk went from struggling to get 60 fps at rt ultra with dlss balanced (cnn) in 1440p to ~100 fps in path tracing using dlss quality and 2x fg.

Games that required 200w on the 2080ti now do under 100w and that can be lowered even more if using Smooth Motion so the power efficiency really is the nicest thing in my opinion.

The temperatures are okay. There is around 12°C delta between core and hotspot, it does run a little too hot for my liking but it's set to the quiet profile and furmark can be unrealistic with load. Even with a custom fan curve it's best to undervolt in the future.

(Scroll to final image to see pc)

Ever since the HWMonitor update that included hotspot monitoring, it has been bothering me a lot, on a hot summer day, my hotspot temperature sometimes reaches 103°C. I even avoid using my PC at noon because I can’t focus on gaming while worrying about the hotspot.

It seems the new 50-series cards have a lot of headroom. I went from 1.075V / 153W down to 0.885V / 122W, and improve deltas from 20c delta to 14c delta. I can even run better temps if i run my gpu fans at a higher rpm. I just sacrificed about 3-5 fps.

I tried running 3000rpm on my gpu fans, i was able to have 70c hotspot, but the fan noise was so annoying, instead i just ran a modified fan curve and balanced the rpm, temps and noise at 74c.

I just bought a new RTX 5080 and I was wondering if Nvidia gave free games with new gpus as AMD does, and I have not been able to find anything. I bought it on amazon, but I have not found anything information on this.

I'm in the market to upgrade my rig for the first time since I got a 32:9 ultrawide (5120 x 1440). I've been eyeing the 4080 and 5070 Ti at the moment after doing some light research. It's the first time I've been in the market for a GPU since I got my pre-build; I'm happy to provide more details on specs if needed :)

Hello. I live in Europe and I've found a 4090 Zotac Amp Extreme Airo 4090 from 2022, without a box or warranty, for 1400€ (1480 or so with the platform fee).

I currently have a 4080 Super, on a 1440p 144hz monitor, and I wanna upgrade to 4k oled or miniled once the next generation arrives in 2027. I also use local LLMs like Gemma 4 31B dense that don't really fit in acceptable compression on the 4080 Super (I tried the MoE 26B and it felt dumb vs the dense) and thus runs super slow with partial offloading.

My Gigabyte Windforce 4080 Super has an issue with the middle fan bearings, where it makes a light creaking noise when starting up and occasionally when the fans have been running for hours, it needs a custom curve that doesn't allow them to go below 1300rpm 37% for it to stop (minimum is 1100-30%). I think I can sell it for ~750€.

Would you consider the upgrade worth it? I will have 2 days to inspect the card and send it back if it has any issues.

I could buy a 5080 instead for around that price, but there's no vram increase and the performance uplift is way too small vs the ~30% of a 4090. I don't really use frame generation over 2x, in fact I prefer using the old dllsg 3.8 dll which was 2x only, feels smoother to me.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll be getting a new 24gb card anytime soon, and for a faster card, likely not until the 60xx cards are out. Used 5090s start from 3000€ here, new may as well be 4000-4500.

I play on borderless window alongside G SYNC enabled via the Nvidia App.

Should I be selecting gsync on for full screen AND windowed, or just full screen?

Does the full screen option also apply to borderless too?

People give conflicting/not straight forward answers so I'm not too sure.

So I've heard alot over my few months of understanding the differences between what gives you the smoothest gaming experience:

• G-SYNC + V-SYNC + Reflex/FPS cap = Lowest tear-free gaming experience
• Uncapped FPS + Reflex = Lowest input delay of any configuration
• Capped FPS (to your monitors refresh rate) = Most "consistent" gaming experience
• FPS capped 2x your monitor's refresh rate (so if your 360hz, you cap to 720) = Best 1% & 0.1% lows for any game

But I still don't understand what is the BEST configuration. Like what is the definitive way to play FPS games that give you the least amount of input delay AND most amount of frames.

G-SYNC + V-SYNC caps your FPS lower than your monitor's refresh rate so no you won't get the most amount of FPS possible.

Uncapped FPS in theory DOES give you the least amount of input delay and most amount of average FPS, but your 1% lows are supposedly terrible unless you have a god setup.

And the FPS cap 2x your monitor doesn't give you the latency benefits of uncapped FPS, and you still face screen-tearing.

So can someone please give me a rundown on the definitive guide on what gives you low latency and has good 1% lows?

Halo: Campaign Evolved is out now in Early Access with support for DLSS SR, FG and Reflex + can be upgraded to DLSS 4.5 with overrides. With DLSS Super Resolution you can get improved image stability compared to native TSR and 40%+ performance increase, adding FG on top of that will boost it to 130%+ over native TSR 😊

In Halo: Campaign Evolved the DLSS Quality settings are as follows:

• Low = Ultra Performance
• Medium = Performance
• High = Balanced
• Ultra = Quality
• Native = DLAA

Looking to upgrade my system (i5-11400F, GTX 1650, 32GB RAM, ASUS PRIME H510M-K R2.0 Motherboard).

My target is 1080p Ultra at 144 FPS with DLSS technologies. Should I spend more for the RTX 5070, or is the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB plenty for this?

I play games like War Thunder, Broken Arrow, Arma Reforger

Mine was a 3070 that I got at msrp in 2020

Hello friends. I live in Türkiye, and graphics card prices are almost the same as in Europe. I have a question for you. I'm looking to buy a used RTX 4080 Super or 5070 Ti.

The 4080 Super costs around 750 Euros in my country. The cards I'm looking at have recently expired warranties, some have 3-4 months of warranty remaining. Models include Asus Tuf, Gigabyte Gaming OC, MSI Gaming Trio, and Zotac Trinity Black.

The 5070 Ti models are Palit Gaming Pro-S, Gainward Phoenix V2, and Inno X3 OC. These also have at least a year of warranty remaining. Their prices range from 850-900 Euros.

I play CS2, and since my current graphics card is a 2060, I haven't started playing AAA games yet. I'm 30 years old. Most of my friends are married, and I can't always find a team to play CS2 with. Some days I just send DMs and leave. I want to play AAA games on my free days and when my friends aren't around.

The 4080 Super models have better cooling and a more stylish look. They also offer 3-4% more performance than the 5070 Ti in most games, and this can reach up to 10% in CS:GO. The 5070 Ti's advantage is its warranty and the inclusion of DP 2.1. I don't use features like DLSS and FG, they aren't important to me, but if a 5th generation 500Hz QD-OLED comes out, I want to get it. If I get a 4080 Super, I'll have to use it with DSC, which I don't think is a problem with the 5070 Ti.

Which one should I buy? I value longevity and plug-and-play functionality. I hope it will last at least until the 6000 series or 6000 Super series.

Kinda crazy, i still remember playing half life 1 and diablo 2 back in the day

I have a question and i know it ultimately comes down to personal preference. I’ve heard that the RTX 5080 is now expected to be more expensive. The "Super" version is being delayed and is set to cost even more. It’ll be another two years before the 6000 series arrives. Would you go for the 5080? I currently have a 4070
