Yeah great so Shadows could be like the third game with ray tracing I play, lol. Have not gotten too much out of the 4090 so far. But Cyberpunk WAS well worth waiting for. And funny enough W3 looks great now too after the next gen update. But even that ancient game needs frame generation to get more than 60 fps with all the bling bling turned on, ridiculous.
AC games have always been the ones I could never max out because post processing options are insane. I remember back when Syndicate came out and I tried to go full ultra and I got 20fps, lol. That was with a 1070 though, I think. Still, I was disappointed. Game looked like ass at 60fps on the default I was suggested. Decided to play at 30-40fps and so it looked pretty enough at least. Can't wait for Shadows to be more difficult to run than Cyberpunk with path tracing, lololol.

I went and rebought Division 2 on Steam because when playing the game half of my system resources were being used by Uplay. I went and tried the free weekend for Mirage and it is just as bad. It makes games that my system could run into games I cannot play.

The last Ubisoft game I played was Anno 1800 when I bought a one month subscription and that one ran fine on my old system. So is this a new thing then? Hell, what is it with crap launchers lately?? I was going to buy DAI again on sale because my old account is gone. And on Steam I see nothing but bad reviews because the game has become unplayable on the new EA launcher?? Jeez... Guess I won't be replaying. I don't recall if I played Mass Effect LE on the old or the new launcher because it ran fine. Are Steam and GOG the only launchers that have no issues?! What is that?

I’m saving up to buy or build my first gaming PC but didn’t know if it’s worth twice as much as the 4080 Super. Or should I wait until the 5090 comes out?

Is the 4090 worth it? I’m saving up to buy or build my first gaming PC but didn’t know if it’s worth twice as much as the 4080 Super. Or should I wait until the 5090 comes out? No card is worth that much money. And I kind of hate myself for letting Nvidia get away with extortion like that. On the other hand prices have not come down so I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. My reasoning was that anything but 24GB in summer 2023 when I bought it was planned insolence, especially the mid range cards at just 12GB. So really from that lineup the 4090 was the only good card imo. So yes, I would probably recommend it over the 4080. The real question is, do you want to go Nvidia or AMD? You get more for your money with AMD unless you really want to do ray tracing, which was the case for me, so I went Nvidia as usual. They're both price fixing so they both are greedy corporate scum, lol. If you have the money and want to spend it on the best card, then yes, it's sort of worth it. My reasoning was that I didn't want to have to replace my GPU every 1-2 years again to get the most out of a pretty game. With my first PC in 2015 I went from 970>1070>1080 Ti in short succession. I was only happy once I had the best card of the line. So I figured I'll just buy that one outright. Whether or not the 4090 will be good for that long again we'll see. I could still max out many games on the 1080Ti when I upgraded, of course at below 60fps at times. I was itching to play ray tracing games I held off playing so I decided 8 years was a good run for the system. The plan is to not upgrade the card for at least 5 years. We'll see how that goes. I haven't kept tabs on the GPU market for almost a year now so I don't even know the specs of the current Super lineup. Maybe they have better value for money. If I wasn't into modding Bethesda games I would have ditched PC gaming and gone back to console because the money you need to shell out for a PC these days is insane. And often games don't look THAT much better to justify the extra spending. So think carefully if you want to waste so much money.

GOG is the worst launcher of them all. There was a security hole in it that CDPR left unfixed and the way they fixed it was by slightly altering the code to hide it. Uplay started to have issues for me when they released a new version of it a few months after AC: Valhalla was released, which also had a similar issue for me. At the same time I haven't had any issue with the EA Play app after EA discontinued Origin, I even played Dragon Age: Inquisition without any issues. Now it might be an issue with the Steam Client and EA Play, for I just own it on the EA Play app, I try to use the native client for each game unless it is on Uplay.

I do really like what I’ve seen of Ray Tracing (even the bare bones shadows version on Xbox made Cyberpunk look better) and especially Path Tracing, and I’m thinking of trying streaming so I know Nvidia has extra goodies for that too. The 4080 Super is a tiny bit better than the 4080, but its main selling feature is its $200 cheaper so at a grand. Hopefully Prime Day they might have some sales, or Black Friday. For going to PC, I am interested in trying mods for games but also with pretty much all the companies getting rid of most their exclusives to be multi platform with PC it’d be nice to just be able to play everything on one machine.

Yes most games go to PC eventually and you have PC exclusives as well. So that makes sense. Plus modding. A really good PC is expensive though, two consoles would still be a lot cheaper. But can't deny that aside from price there's only upsides to PC gaming. Playing at around 100 fps now is sooo smooth. Never had that before because my old monitor could only do 60. The 4080 Super sadly is still only 16GB so too little for me. But it's definitely a lot cheaper and might be better suited for your budget. Cyberpunk with path tracing even the 4090 cannot handle well without DLSS trickery. Other games would run perfectly fine with a 4080 though. I'd pop the question in the PC builder thread. The people there can help you out better. I'm still a complete noob myself who probably spent too much on the parts. So if you want to save money they'll have recommendations. Good hunting!

the game has become unplayable on the new EA launcher I played DAI three days ago. The launcher was fine, and has been since I started using it. Could there be a problem with the connection of the EA App to Steam? Maybe. Enough people - including dazk - have issues with the App that we know something with it can potentially be screwy, but I doubt my PC has magic fairy dust preventing me from seeing these issues. Luck, configuration of PC, other software settings...no idea. Not saying you wouldn't experience issues, but just that not everyone does. I actually like the EA App - my PC barely notices that it is there (in terms of resources used).

And I think the refund window expires after a while even if the game is unplayed. Steam is full of warnings that the game is unplayable so it seems rather common. Very undecided what to do. It's just 4 bucks but I don't want to reward EA for not fixing their shit.

That is what I did with Cyberpunk, for I tried several times when it launched and it was just a mess and I couldn't enjoy playing it.

I think choosing Yasuke over a Japanese protagonist was a mistake. It's not like western entertainment media is overflowing with Asian male representation. They'll say they wanted to have an outsider's perspective for one of their protagonists, and that this was the only reason they chose Yasuke. Someone might even believe that. I would be less frustrated if it was switched and the black character was the woman. Purely out of selfish interest as a woman to see a cool and attractive Japanese male protagonist. Asian male is really the forgotten minority in Western media. Always has been. Especially in games. If having a black protagonist is so important these days, make a game set in a region of Africa where they are native and I'll happily play that. This way I just feel robbed of a cool male Japanese protagonist. Obviously this doesn't keep me awake at night with anger. It's just really disappointing for me on a completely superficial level. Well that and the brutal combat that goes with the Yasuke character but I can just not play him when I maybe get the game on a deep sale in 3 years. Yeah, this is mostly how I feel. They could create a badass game in Africa with an African protagonist. We've already had one with Bayek of Siwa in Origins, and I think everyone would gladly play in any historical setting they craft. History is a limitless well, full of great stories for them to plunder. In Japan, I really expected to play a Japanese protagonist. In this era particularly, I'd not have expected a foreigner. If you'd told me a protagonist was going to be a foreigner, I'd have asssumed a Portuguese Assassin come to fight Templars. I definitely didn't foresee Yasuke. I'm sure he will be cool, and that his outsider status will be critical, but it feels like a very self-conscious choice. I'm still waiting for my opportunity to again play a Templar. Shay Cormac's story showed how the Templars could be on the right side of an issue. Haytham Kenway's Templars were a cool group.

Yeah great so Shadows could be like the third game with ray tracing I play, lol. Have not gotten too much out of the 4090 so far. But Cyberpunk WAS well worth waiting for. And funny enough W3 looks great now too after the next gen update. But even that ancient game needs frame generation to get more than 60 fps with all the bling bling turned on, ridiculous. AC games have always been the ones I could never max out because post processing options are insane. I remember back when Syndicate came out and I tried to go full ultra and I got 20fps, lol. That was with a 1070 though, I think. Still, I was disappointed. Game looked like ass at 60fps on the default I was suggested. Decided to play at 30-40fps and so it looked pretty enough at least. Can't wait for Shadows to be more difficult to run than Cyberpunk with path tracing, lololol. One of the problems I have with Ubisoft games right now is the Launcher. I went and rebought Division 2 on Steam because when playing the game half of my system resources were being used by Uplay. I went and tried the free weekend for Mirage and it is just as bad. It makes games that my system could run into games I cannot play. I am sure you have tried a lot of these things but maybe one that might fix it: softwareg.com.au/blogs/computer-hardware/ubisoft-connect-high-cpu-usage

I went and tried the free weekend for Mirage and it is just as bad. It makes games that my system could run into games I cannot play. OK that sounds alarming! The last Ubisoft game I played was Anno 1800 when I bought a one month subscription and that one ran fine on my old system. So is this a new thing then? Hell, what is it with crap launchers lately?? I was going to buy DAI again on sale because my old account is gone. And on Steam I see nothing but bad reviews because the game has become unplayable on the new EA launcher?? Jeez... Guess I won't be replaying. I don't recall if I played Mass Effect LE on the old or the new launcher because it ran fine. Are Steam and GOG the only launchers that have no issues?! What is that? I have been playing DAI with no trouble on the EA App and have played the other DA games a couple of times the past year but with DAO I think I had a problem with not getting the DLC's but EA fixed that really quickly.

the game has become unplayable on the new EA launcher I played DAI three days ago. The launcher was fine, and has been since I started using it. Could there be a problem with the connection of the EA App to Steam? Maybe. Enough people - including dazk - have issues with the App that we know something with it can potentially be screwy, but I doubt my PC has magic fairy dust preventing me from seeing these issues. Luck, configuration of PC, other software settings...no idea. Not saying you wouldn't experience issues, but just that not everyone does. I actually like the EA App - my PC barely notices that it is there (in terms of resources used). After blaming the EA App a lot I have to confess in hindsight a majority of my issues were internet related at my end due to my Telco having issues and causing intermittent outages which was highly unusual. You really do have to make sure though that in the games properties Advanced TAB they are set to Run as Administrator though and that the Security TAB has all users set to Full Control.

Is the 4090 worth it? I’m saving up to buy or build my first gaming PC but didn’t know if it’s worth twice as much as the 4080 Super. Or should I wait until the 5090 comes out? Price to performance ratio? Not worth it compared to the 4080S. The two cards have roughly 20-40% difference in performance depending on what games, settings and resolution you play at.
The 5090 will cost an arm and a leg. At best it will be 50% better than the 4090, but realistically it will be in the ballpark of 30% better. And no cheaper than $2000, maybe even closer to $2500. I sure hope they don't go higher than that. Just because Nvidia can do it and people will still buy it.
The 4080S is a good option if you can afford it now. If you wait for the 5000 series, you probably should be ready to pay at least double for a 5090. I can maybe see a reason to wait for a 5090 if you are gonna play at 4k, maximum settings and want to keep the card for at least 5+ years. On the other hand the 4080S will also be a solid card during that time if you use DLSS and Frame Generation to balance the load for a rather minimal visual quality loss.

I looked up current prices and it's wild to me that at least in Germany nothing has changed about the pricing of these two cards. The Super has simply replaced the regular 4080 and costs pretty much the same. Maybe 50 bucks less while still being only 16GB. So Nvidia crushed any hope people had of getting a 24GB Super, those scumbags. The 4090 costs exactly the same as in July 2023! It's even sort of slightly more expensive. I guess that's good business, the 4090 is still the only 24GB card. So I guess I'm "happy" I bought it last summer and didn't wait for a cheaper 24GB card to be released. But fucking hell, the GPU market is still depressing...

Nvidia has cornered the market, has the best software features and will exploit it. Like we all do in strategy games
The 4090 is a halo product. The price reflects that. It's for enthusiasts and people that want the best, no matter the price. The Titan cards have always been overpriced compared to the rest of the lineup.

There is just something that it just consumes so many resources. A friend of mine that doesn't have the exact same problem but needs to shutdown Uplay when he is done playing a game for otherwise other games will run noticeably worse. My system is on the older side for gaming, but only Uplay gives me issues.

Also a lot more companies need silicone for their products since computers are in a lot of things including things like smart phones and fridges. Then of course you have nVidia's A100 chip that nVidia sells for at least $10,000 and it is only 1.5 times the size of a 4090 chip and the new B200 chip that nVidia charges at least $40,000 for. There is a reason why the market cap for nVidia is $3.29 Trillion.
