  • Biography
    I first started out playing Playstation 2 with Rocket Power Beach Bandits. I then transitioned to Xbox 360 after having played on my friends' Xbox on Halo 2. I then started to look at PC's and how amazing it is to upgrade them. I wanted to get a video card but my parents wouldn't let me (I was super young, 14). I then got a laptop where I wanted to play Minecraft. It was laggy at about 20fps and I wanted to see if I could upgrade the CPU/GPU. I couldn't which sucked. So I started to look into desktops where I finally found my passion. I wanted to play games on PC because console was just starting to become pathetic. Not to mention, my 10 year old cousin at the time had an amazingly decent gaming PC. i5 2320 with Radeon HD6770 1gb. It ran Battlefield 3 super well and Minecraft was in the hundreds for fps. So I started looking into PC's and first was my APU based PC with a 660Ti. Lolz. I then got a HP Envy with a 4th Gen i5 4430. PERFECT with my 660Ti and 20GB of RAM LOL. I then took a HUGE step, transferred everything over to a new case. Easy and it worked. Then upgraded my motherboard to a MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming motherboard and now I am happy. The future is bright with my hobby and I love it.

  1. https://kotaku.com/grand-theft-auto-v-benchmarked-pushing-pc-graphics-to-1698670906 That is from back in 2015. The results look almost exactly like the results we have now. Notice the similarities? 900 series are better than the 700 series. Today, the 2000 series is just better than the 1000 series.
  2. Because you're saying that you'll stick to console instead of playing this game on PC with much better hardware. The One X is the only console that even achieve 30fps, 4K flat by using techniques like interlacing the frames to achieve a "4K" resolution. On the PS4 Pro in 4K, it's highly noticeable. Just put the settings on high, enjoy it in 1080p or 1440p in its entire glory. The 1080ti is not going to be powerful forever, for every game. RDR2 is obviously ahead of it's time, much like GTA V was. GTA V favored the new 900 series over the 700 series at the time. The 780 was great for 1080p very high/high mixed settings at the time. But for 1440p, you weren't going to achieve above 60fps unless you had the 980 or Titan. It's highly obvious from benchmarks in 2015 upon release. The game became much more well optimized over time, just like any other game. This is a day 1 launch result and the game is amazing.
  3. The backplate is backwards.. how do you miss that kind of detail?
  4. I have a 1080Ti and am not complaining a single bit. This game IS intensive to run. It's running on an engine that has TONS of ways to cater to your experience. You're saying its buggy and unoptimized. Do we need to remind you how bad Fallout 76 was? This has a launcher and loading issue, that can be fixed. This game actually supports ultrawide, HDR, ingame voice chat, etc. It could be WAY WORSE. Just because you spent $1000 TWO years ago doesnt mean your card is going to outlast 2 or 3 years. Graphical technologies are in fast pace right now. Get a 2080Ti or wait for the 3000 series. Meanwhile, dont complain about something you havent even bought. I have a 1080ti, 8700k, and 32gb of ram enjoying this game from 45 to 60fps on ultrawide settings. So unless you have 4K or ultrawide, I'm sure you will be fine at high settings at 1080p or 1440p.
  5. How was GTA V not a console port? It launched on console, people petitioned for the game to even be considered for PC release, and we got it 2 years later. The 980 was fresh at the time so yeah, of course a 780 will do decent, but only with a mixture of settings like you said at 1080p. Whereas the 980 and 980ti could achieve 60fps easier, at launch, at 1440p. Same thing is happening with my 1080ti. 2 year old hardware does decently well enough, but the 2080ti is able to perform more stable at 60fps, very high settings, 1440p.
  6. Also, for anyone saying that this game is a "bad" console port, please understand and remember how demanding GTA V was back in 2015 during the 900 series Nvidia cards. Normal texture settings got you above 60fps on 1440p. Very High texture settings got you 60fps or less at the same. Yes, even the Titan struggled. The game did improve over time, but the next generation of cards literally made it much more playable and eventually, even a GTX 980 mobile chip could run the game above 60fps consistently at higher settings. So either upgrade your GPU to the 2000 series, or wait for the next generation. It's up to you. This is the first game to actually put my 1080Ti to work after 2 years. So next year sounds like upgrade time. The time is now, old man.
  7. I am on 3440x1440, using a mixture of high and medium settings. 1080ti, 8700k, 32gb 3200mhz ram. I get 45 to 60fps which isnt horrible at all. TL;DR, hopefully wait for the 3000 series nvidia cards.
  8. I guess they weren't in the meeting for when Modern Warfare announced that it was using DirectX12 in order to use more cores for better stability and performance. Oh yeah, core count TOTALLY doesnt matter at alllll. Surely nottttt.
  9. Review the Alienware AW3418DW Ultrawide! Tom's Hardware apparently got a delta e coverage of about 0.2 and 127% of the RGB gamut. For $850 lately, its an amazing monitor from my own testing and might be a "wide" contender against the Acer equivalent. I think Linus would super like this monitor!
  10. If this is even remotely true, it's about damn time Intel. Also, 14nm+++? Seriously?
  11. If it's no better than my 1080ti or a 2070 with RTX and DLSS support, then AMD is not winning me over on their GPU's yet. It may be 7nm and pcie 4, but that doesnt seem to be enough yet. Hopefully real reviews will surprise me.
  12. I'm so glad that I work for Spectrum as a technician. I'm thankful that my company is against a non free internet and is against nickle and diming people for equipment. Time Warner in my area previously charged for a router AND modem rental fee. We still charge for the router if you go with Spectrums, but not the damn modem that enables your service.
  13. For one, keeping the price the same for the refresh is nice. Not discounting the previous makes zero sense unless it's up to manufacturers? For anyone saying that the pricing is still bad, go buy a 2060 Super then. You get pretty decent 1080p ray tracing performance so who can complain? These cards are literally only expensive because Nvidia is still the leader and these cards are the only ones that can do real time ray tracing. Why people are still complaining and not understanding this HUGE point is baffling to me. Then buy a 5700 XT then, you might say. Yeah, if I dont want RTX, DLSS, GSync, or any other features for the same price?? That doesnt make sense. AMD is powerful, but the only benefit is having FreeSync on cheaper monitors.
  14. They blame smartphones, yet, where are they in the smartphone business? You never hear about Canon developing sensors make lenses. You typically just hear Sony, Samsung, Apple, and Carl Zeiss. Canon, you have the knowledge to make super small sensors and lenses. Get into the game or stop complaining.
