Love to see more competition between AMD and Nvidia in other aspects than gaming. Competition in general is good for the consumer.

In that case if you have the extra dough you could maybe go for a 7900 XTX? It blows the 4070 Ti out of the water and trades blows with the 4080, it’s also got a nice bump in specs but it will be lacking in things like Blender.

Wait until the 4070 Ti Super, rumours say it’ll have 16GB vs 12 on the 4070 Ti, if that’s true it might be worth it, depends on the price completely tho.

90Hz is truly such a game changer, not like you’ll get 90hz in every game, but my laptop for example also has a high-res 90hz panel, it only has an igpu so it won’t game, especially not at 90hz but the 90hz makes things overall so much more smoother vs 60.

By this logic, it’ll take 100 months or 8.3 years before your battery capacity gets to just 80%, it’s extremely optimistic yeah, but still, stop worrying about it. Worst case scenario you’ll have to get your battery replaced after half a decade, at which point it’ll be well worth it.

Also, if Macbooks are too expensive. Get a Ryzen laptop with a 16:10 screen like on Macbooks, it’s such a gamechanger for productivity, bonus points if it’s OLED or high res ( 2880x1800 for example )

Valve said this is a test. If this one gets received well they’ll do more colourways which will be available in more countries. But they haven’t said anything about if certain colourways will re-appear or if they’re all a one-time thing.

There are people who hate the Oled Deck?

Battery life would be even worse than on the ROG Ally with max performance. AMD is the most efficient.

I’ll keep my modded 2TB OG Deck with hall effect joysticks to wait for an actual successor. I’d maybe be inclined to sidegrade if they did a trade-in program, but otherwise not. Only reason is because all I want from my Deck is just a little bit more horsepower, not a lot, just a little more is enough, it feels just a tad bit underpowered to me sometimes.

I feel really bad about my 2TB LCD Deck now

Cats always sleeping as if they just pulled a 30 hour shift, meanwhile in reality all they did is walk to their food bowl and nap in the sun, oh to be a cat.

I’m not saying I got a “special screen” so to say. I’m just saying that I only notice the black smearing with white text on a black background, I don’t notice it anywhere else, not saying it isn’t present, I just don’t notice it 99% of the time, even having mainly gamed on my nano-IPS monitor before getting the ultrawide.

I’m just saying that upscaling makes games look blurry. How or why I don’t really care about. That’s why I don’t like it and frankly don’t expect to use it on an expensive card.

I have a 3440x1440 165hz VA monitor and a 2560x1440 144hz nano-IPS monitor. Between the 2 I do not notice any ghosting and the only situation in which I notice minor black smearing is when reading white text on a pitch black background, like on Reddit.

Upscaling makes the game noticeably blurry vs native, it loses some of that sharpness, clarity and fidelity in favor of better FPS, upscaling is amazing on an old card, but I don’t expect to use upscaling on a card I dropped close to 1 grand on.

Indeed, native + raster is the way to go, no upscaling or AI shit between my frames, the XTX shreds anything on my 3440x1440 monitor tho mine is VA, OLED isn’t very good if you do anything besides media consumption / gaming. RT is on 3090 / Ti level, so good enough for me for games like Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. Especially because I got the XTX for below 1000 euros and 4080s are like 1300 - 1500 euros.

Sad to see you get downvoted, like yeah DLSS is better, but as you said, it’s not a trillion billion gazillion times better, I have had a 5700 XT, 3090 and now a 7900 XTX, DLSS is good but I wouldn’t buy a more expensive Nvidia card just to get that.

Yeah, well, DLSS3 is just DLSS2 with frame gen.

Idk if it’s just me, but I literally see no difference apart from the minor shimmering on the fence.
