I 100% agree. My 5090 with DLSS4 and frame generation has me playing Cyberpunk at 60fps at 4kx2 (2 times harder than 4k) with everything maxed, including ray and path tracing. It's unbelievable to me how good this technology is. I can play every game I throw at it at 4Kx2 all maxed at at at least 60fps (some games like Spider-man 2 p[lay at damn near 100 fps with every single thing maxed.

Nvidia knows what they are doing

I'm getting 100-130 fps at 2560 x 1080 with everything maxed out. It's so smooth...

you spent $3000+ on a GPU to play at 1080p?

I'm gaming on a desktop monitor that is about 3 feet from my face. 1080 is just fine.

Nice, I recently upgraded from a 1070 ti to a 5070 oc TUF. It's paired up with a Ryzen 9 9900X and 64 gigs of DDR5.

DLSS is a fukking game changer. 4x Frame generation is simply unbelievably good. I've just started playing Cyberpunk with everything on max. Without DLSS frame generation I'm getting high 20's FPS. With frame generation on 4x I'm getting 100 plus FPS and it looks amazing.

Whenever tech like this comes out I like to imagine going back in time 20 years and telling my younger self about it just to see my reaction.

Man what do you be playing I never see you on Steam like that anymore?

Ive had my current system for 5 years. Its time to make that jump to AM5. Ive had my ddr5 ram since January. Im researching which motherboard to get and pair with the 9800x3d.

Before Cyberpunk I had been playing GTA V Enhanced Edition and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. I was without a PC for like 6 months but I'm byke.

I thought the same about 720p when that's what I had.

Then you step up a notch to 1080 and you're like I can get used to this

Jump another notch up to 1440p and you're like I'm cooking with gas now, baby

Calibration/demo/nature videos have you like
Then 4k comes along
This mess don't make no gatdayum sense

I saw a bruh on TikTok say “if you want to buy a gaming computer, but you think it’s too expensive, go buy a Dell Optiplex, and throw in a GPU in it. What’s anyone’s thoughts on this? Can I build a gaming computer for $800? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction, or make me a list of what I’ll need?

Given how narrow most of those Dell cases are, you might have a problem fitting a modern card in it.

Dell uses the cheapest parts. IF you can get a better GPU in there, you'll likely not be taking full advantage of it. Aside from the CPU and RAM, unless you pay for the premium builds, the rest will be bargain basement parts.
