guys don't derail the gpu discussion.

you cant. My alac are all CD rips or self converted from other lossless formats (magic of lossless files is you can convert to anything without loss) . So yeah. im not subscribed to apple music as well.

Anyways i notice these streaming site’s source are extremely “coloured” or the proper term would be mastered (lookup loudness war on google) as compared to CDs especially on older recordings. So nah... even a 16bit CD will trash those loudness maxed so called tidal 24bit imo.

And in nvidia gpu relevant analogy again.. this is literally native vs edit:nvidia overlay

I know physical still the best, I mean “unphysical”.

I do have some, haha!
I try last time in my laptop, sound very poor like not enough power, but it sound very good in LG mobile that had Quad DAC.

Haven’t try in current PC yet.

for gaming, u might want to use those headphones with flat sound signature and big soundstage (to hear footstep if u r playing fps game, bass-heavy type might cover the footstep sound)

for music, u might want to use a v-shaped sound signature headphones for more exciting and dynamic sounding.

fans have a min spin RPM so you have to increase your fan % until you exceed the min rpm..maybe 40 or 50% depending on your fan. But how come your idle is high on 0fan mode. My undervolted card idles at 32 and stays 60C playing witcher3 maxed on 1080P 120hz with 0fan mode with no aircond.

Finally my new monitor is arrived.

Did some test and now I am freaking satisfied with the HDR output. No more over exposure issue.

VESA HDR certified is very important, monitor without VESA HDR certification is not meet the minimum HDR requirement and impact to the graphics output.

Below is some benchmark I just test it out, 3440x1440 resolution do impact some performance when compare with 2560x1440 resolution.

Too miss on Ultrawide, so I decide replace my existing LG 34UC79G. Haha! Now gonna put on sell soon. Haha!
The monitor model is LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor 34" 34GN850 3440x1440p 144hz (160hz OC) NanoIPS HDR but I don't OC as OC will downgrade from 10 bcp to 8 bcp. I find OC to 160hz is unnecessary since now most latest games also cannot reach 100fps.
Previously I do get similar scores with others which is 16950 running at 2560x1440 resolution.

Now 14400 at 3440x1440 resolution I believe still kind of ok.

Not going for this Asus model even though this model will be freaking fantastic at HDR as it is HDR1000 Certified!

• I don't want 4K as 4K must upscaled at Windows, classic apps wording is blur when upscaled.
  
• 4K gaming is still too GPU hunger. Also if I want gaming at 4K, I can use my LG C9 OLED TV.
  
• This model can buy 2 units of LG 34GN850.
  
• This model is Wide only not Ultrawide.
  
• I am Big fans of LG display. Haha!
  

Yes... this I also believe in. Never pre-order games... Unless it's CDPR. hahaha... After what they achieved with Witcher 3, I can't. I need to support them. I even bought it at GOG so all the money goes to them. hahaha...

Hey there. Now my gpu still slotting in the board slot. So basically I boot into bios to change setting from pcie4 to pcie3 first before putting my gpu on the riser cable to boot, right? Correct sequent?

DLSS is god for 2077, easily twice the performance with it enabled

RIP amd buyers

I played for hours now and yet to have any game-breaking bugs or major bugs

your mileage may vary of course but I dont think anyone who has upgraded his PC recently will skip this game

Cyberpunk is amazing. The level of detail and denseness of the open world is INCREDIBLE.

It's not even comparable with any other open world game in terms of graphics.

Getting 45-70fps everything on 1440p ultra +RT with DLSS quality. Film grain, chromatic aberration turned off and graphics looks clean.  RTX 3080 + Ryzen 7 3700x.

With adaptive sync I'm happy with 45fps because the world is just too beautiful. Gamers don't realize this isn't Witcher 3, Death Stranding, or a last gen game with a barren wasteland or low quality props. The last game I played, Horizon Zero Dawn does 75fps on 1440p maxed.

This game absolutely blows HZD out of the water, and from the comparison, the frame rate is logical.

Atmosphere of the game is incredible as well. In the background you can hear banter in Japanese, Mandarin, English, and TV channels, billboards in multilingual, everywhere you go in just the first 45mins is densely packed with side quests etc etc... So far, this is the best open world game I played in a long time

God forbid a state of the art, ray tracing focused game is demanding graphically.

Some people are just lol.

The 8800 GTX could only handle 30-45 fps on High back when it came out. Witcher 3 same story as mentioned above.

Is it really so strange that new games will get more and more demanding?

The worst part? Is that someone has been whining for days and weeks about every topic discussed here, acting condescending to strangers on the internet for having a different opinion.

Yeah.. average FPS is around 65fps in less dense areas. In the busiest part of the first open world area FPS tanks to 45fps due to insane amount of lights, props, characters, etc etc .

What's for sure is Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain, + Depth of Field must be turned off, or else the game just looks blurry. Also helps if you use the AMD Fidelity sharpening filter in the settings or use GeForce Overlay to further sharpen the image if you use DLSS.

I spent 3 hours just walking around the city admiring the graphics and atmosphere. It's really great. It helps that I understand Japanese and Chinese, so it's even more enjoyable.

The game does have some bugs especially for the NPCs, sometimes their models will just clip with each other, and scripting bugs where the model doesn't move but yet the dialogue continues.

It'll be fixed for sure so I'm not worried.

Just start play Cyberpunk 2077. The graphics kind of nice, I can turn everything Maximum and no issue, playing is freaking smooth in 3440x1440 resolution using Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080.

What fuzz about this, I don't think it is very heavy, Probably the Nvidia DLSS do help a lot and I do turn it on with setting of Quality.
I didn't benchmark it but it is very smooth everywhere, no single hiccup.

I don't see this games required future better card as RTX 3080 can kick it off to maximum quality at 1440p.

Maybe 4K need, but in 4K, many new games do need future card not only this title. I didn't test in 4K and lazy test in 4K. Haha!

Yup freaking beauty. I also keep looking around during playing. Looking around the beauty of it and also can shortly rest when enjoying the scenery and building structure. Haha!
I think the previous console had not enough power to handle it, some more the developer already decided refund and this games is too buggy in PS4, I don’t see the reason why Sony not doing it. Even though this is rare case first time.

This games is so freaking famous now, I believe the developer will continue polish it like what they did in The Witches.

You missed out one point though. They purposely mislead people by not allowing anyone access to the console version until after they launched the game and have pocketed the money. Heck they didn’t even allow the reviewers to use their own footage and instead to use footage provided by cdpr for the pc version. No matter how you look at it that’s shady af. No one would rage if they just showed the performance on the base consoles before the game was launched. Now they elected to take the money then hope that gamers would just suck it up after seeing the performance on the base console instead of lashing out like this. No one expected the base consoles to run like ps5 but at least they expected the game to be playable since it was announced on their console and not garbage 15fps.

Well obviously but we all know what they chose to do instead. They must’ve thought gamers would just suck it up because cdpr has a reputation of being a gamer first company so gamers would be like oh well it’s fine they’re a good company so let’s just make the best of what we have lol. I wonder who on the management team decided on this decision lol.

Yea Spiderman has 1080p RT option on ps5.

Next gen console is key for RT adoption since game devs always target consoles first rather than PC

Good thing is Sony and Microsoft both are bringing more first party games to PC. Horizon Zero Dawn was a pleasant surprise and I'm glad I experienced it fully (completed 100%) on PC 1440p maxed + HDR @ 70fps rather than on my old PS4.
