    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Nvidia's investments in GPGPU and CUDA way back in the mid 2000's was the turning point for the company, I think.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    The fact that Jensen, an engineer, is one of the co-founders and he's been right there from the start, all the while navigating the ship through the high stakes and brutally competitive tech industry and being able to take it to where it is now. Quite extraordinary, I have to say.

    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake II, MS Flight Simulator (when flying at night) and Dying Light 2. The frame rates were fairly consistent at around 100~130 fps range with no wild swings and yet the VRR flickering was really bad in-game. I mean I don't mind it happening in menu screens but when it...

    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    I just got a PG32UCDM and the VRR flicker is horrendous in many games with dark scenes. Much worse than my C1 OLED TV. I wonder if the high refresh rate of 240Hz exacerbated the issue. Honestly as much as the image quality is better than my old ips, the VRR flicker is very distracting.

    MSI Gaming Trio NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - Temp Check

    These are the max temps I get after running Time Spy Extreme, Speed Way and Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark at max settings with path tracing and DLSS. The 4090 is undervolted 2800MHz @ 975mV and +1000MHz to the VRAM. Case is the Asus ProArt PA602. Ambient temp is around 26C.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    I had an ATi Radeon 9600XT back then and it really struggled with the Doom 3 and Far Cry at 640x480 resolution on a CRT monitor. Only Half Life 2 ran decently. It was only when I got a Geforce 7600GT a few years later that I was able to finally play Doom 3 and Far Cry properly and even on a...

    DLSS 3 frame generation - yes or no?

    In my recent personal experience, DLSS FG is quite useful in maximizing the headroom my high refresh rate monitor and overcoming CPU bottlenecks. I'm currently using DLSS SR 3.7 (Preset E) and FG 3.7 versions of the DLL files in my games and ghosting is minimal to none. DLSS FG works fine...

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    I remember when people kept on saying that the 4090 will launch at >$2000 MSRP and it actually ended up at $1599 MSRP. We'll see how the MSRP goes with the 5090. I'm guessing it won't even reach $2K.

    Best 360mm AIO Cooler?

    I had motherboard and case compatibility issues with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360. I had no such issues with the EK Nucleus 360 AIO.

    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    At home, I watch HDR and DV content on my 48" LG C1 600nit OLED (calibrated with Calman for LG Home). When I'm on the go, I watch HDR and DV content on my MacBook Pro 14" 1600nit miniLED and the latter is very good. I also don't notice blooming. I can go back and forth between these displays...
