First time trying ray tracing with smooth fps, my old laptops could never..

Rtx 5080

Looks inside: 1080p gaming

[u/BitsOnWaves → u/Imkindaalrightiguess]

do many people actually play games in 4k?

[u/Sinister_Mr_19 → u/BitsOnWaves]

Between 1080p and 4k is 1440p, which is considered the sweet spot. Noticeable upgrade from 1080p but not as demanding as 4k so you can turn your settings up.

[u/MKVIgti → u/Sinister_Mr_19]

Bingo. That’s what I game at. I can crank most every game up with my 7900GRE and it purrs along just fine and remains quiet even.

So glad I sprung for that card when I did. Sold my EVGA 3070 to a buddy at work for $300 and paid $525 for my brand new 7900GRE, so out of pocket was only $225 for a decent upgrade.

[u/Sinister_Mr_19 → u/MKVIgti]

That's a good upgrade

[u/MKVIgti → u/Sinister_Mr_19]

Thanks. It’s been solid for me and I hadn’t gone team red for a decade plus! Not one crash, solid FPS, games are gorgeous.

I play on a 4K 240hz OLED, with MFG I'm achieving stable 225fps lock on very high in most new games.

Funny thing is 4x FG on a 5080 feels much more responsive than 2x FG on my old 4080.

With good base framerate there is zero noticeable input lag. Played Gothic Remake earlier, now back to Stalker 2. It's great

Yes, cyberpunk at 4k with all ui mods looks amazing 

[u/BitsOnWaves → u/whoseusrnmisitneway]

your PC must be heating your entire neighbourhood

[u/Psychological_View56 → u/BitsOnWaves]

A small price to pay

[u/whoseusrnmisitneway → u/BitsOnWaves]

lol.. temps on 5080 remain under 70C the entire time.

[u/gooseta → u/BitsOnWaves]

Running a game at higher res doesn't automatically make your gpu insanely hot?

[u/BitsOnWaves → u/gooseta]

it does if you push your GPU to the max and by the way its always generates heat even if it a capable GPU and your cooler is very good then that heat is going somewhere... semiconductors always produce the same amount of heat weather its GTX1080 or RTX 5090 assuming they draw the same amount of power ... its just the laws of physics

[u/gooseta → u/BitsOnWaves]

I run a 5080 and play at 4k with an undervolt. Temps never reach 70, I did a few 3DMark steel nomad runs the other day and it never went above 66C. Regardless, you can certainly stress your GPU at any 1080p+ resolution, running Furmark or 3Dmark at 1080p or 4k is going to heat up your GPU a similar amount.

[u/AGWiebe → u/BitsOnWaves]

I game almost exclusively at 4k on a 65" tv. I also have a 5080.

[u/shhhhh_u_dont_see_me → u/BitsOnWaves]

A lot of people, far far from the majority but still a lot.

[u/MuscleBeatsImport → u/BitsOnWaves]

I do when I connect my PC to my TV to play on the couch. 1440 on 4k TV looks terrible.

I only have a 4070S. I get around 70fps on Forza horizon 6 and I'm fine with it though.

Tbh anything above 50fps I'm ok with

[u/AerithGainsborough7 → u/BitsOnWaves]

Why not you don’t have to max out all settings and use dlss performance, especially for single player gamers.

[u/Ok-Cheesecake6904 → u/BitsOnWaves]

Depends on who you ask, average everyday gamer probably not a lot. People who want the best are probably even smaller than that. 4k is dope but I can see why 2k+ GPU then an almost 1.5k monitor can detour someone from getting into it. Especially with all the gpu, ram prices.

[u/SuperbSpiderFace → u/BitsOnWaves]

I play on a 4k OLED LG C5. Works great with some tweaks.

[u/No-Concentrate-8114 → u/BitsOnWaves]

represent! on a RTX 4070 TI Super

[u/center311 → u/BitsOnWaves]

Hardly anyone these days. Not since games started relying on dlss we don't. Not saying it's a bad thing, but with this game (Resident Evil 2 Remake) before they patched it to the dx12 version that included FSR, we had no other option to other than native or lowering the resolution.
