I haven't played any games I think over 2 months now. So I don't mind sticking with my 3080Ti FE, and eventually back to a 3090 if I can figure out how to watercool it in a Loque Ghost case. But if GPUs are going to continue being stupidly...

Yeah it is confusing since weekly reset is usually on Tuesday, but from what I understand, they wanted the release synchronized across the whole world, so for some we get it on Monday (3pm PST).

3pm pst

Does Dragonflight release today Monday, or tomorrow Tuesday here in the U.S.?

Skipping the 4 series? Probably not. Mostly just can't find the 4090 I want right now without effort. However, my 3090 performs great at 4K still in every game I play, so I am in 0 rush to get a 4 series card either. Not going to play the...

The 3090s and 3080s were dropping in price big time for awhile, but now almost going back up. Im in a big city and checking Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, the base 3080's are selling for $600+, the 3080 Tis selling for $700 to $800, and...

lol I'm still on my 1080. I was thinking about getting a 3080 or 3090 right before the 40xx series launched (there was some pretty decent deals), I have now decided to see how the 7900xt/x performs before dropping any coin.

I'll upgrade from my RTX-3080 10GB when and if the RTX-4080 drops down to the realistic price of $899, where it should have launched originally. And no nVidia I'll pass on a $999 4070.

I've got 3 gaming PCs in my house with RTX 3080 and I don't plan on upgrading the GPU for a while. First of all, we all play at 1440p resolution and the current games we play are already maxed with good FPS. Second, there aren't any new games...

Ray tracing in WoW is only shadows, as far as I'm aware. Seems hardly worth it without the global illumination to go with it.

We shall soon see. It would be nice if Dragonflight handled it better, but I doubt it is a high priority for them. If it looks at least as good as Shadowlands though I'll be happy. I'm certainly hoping for the best. I think I'm going to do my...

Realistically, I only ever use my monitor sitting Infront of it, and I prefer curved, even with the 42" at 3 feet away I feel like the edges are bent outwards (I know they're not) but my eyes are picky now that they have been spoiled with a...

Hands down the 50" QN90B is the best 4K HDR 144hz VRR mini LED display for large format. It does all that simultaneously like a champ. I will keep this QN90B for at least 10 years in my PC room. I'm not even kidding. 10 years is my goal. I also...

Great post thanks. Now I'm curious if Dragonflight implements Ray Tracing better?

I think it's more of a content issue rather than an issue with the ray tracing itself. Part of the issue is that many things that logically should be sources of light aren't actually sources of light. You might see a lamp on the wall for...

I've heard the RTX implementation in WoW is a pretty lazy one.

I doubt it's a massive improvement. I've not spent much time in WoW in the past before RTX was around, so I'm unsure. But in comparison to my experiences from like 2004 and 2007 briefly trying WoW, the game is actually pretty nice to look at...

ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PRO | AMD 5800X3D | MSI RTX 4090 GAMING TRIO | G.SKILL 16GBx2 DDR4-3600 14-14-14-34 | KINGSTON KC3000 NVME M.2 2TB | EVGA 1600W T2 ^^^ It's in my sig, but maybe it's difficult to see or not publicly visible or something. I...

On my smartphone don't see signatures on this Forum in Mobile mode. Yeah the 4090 you got is a beast and can surely eat up RTX for breakfast playing WoW. And the 5800X3D is amazing gaming CPU. Honestly, do the shadows and reflections and...

I'm just basing it on MSRP pricing going back a decade. GTX-680 @ $599 launched 2012 GTX-780 @ $649 launched 2013 GTX-980 @ $549 launched 2015 GTX-1080 @ $599 launched 2016 RTX-2080 @ $699 launched 2018 RTX-3080 @ $699 launched 2020 RTX-4080 @...
