GPU market is going to be F'ked for a few years now. 1660 Ti is just a 1070 Ti at best, and anything GTX 980 or higher is selling like hot cakes at a minimum $400.

I'm selling it... because it's worth more than I paid for it 2 years ago lol... now is the time. I don't need the money... it's just the simple fact that I don't need the GPU and it makes sense to get the most I can for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a second SFF PC and I don't need a 2080ti in it. Nah not yet. When I buy my 3080ti I'll sell the 2080ti afterwards. I'm thinking next month. I'm definitely going to have one before all the big fall/holiday games hit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My PC monitor is only 2K but It goes up to 165hz, and I prefer refresh rate to resolution on a PC. I have a 4K TV (and its great for gaming) but on a PC I find higher refresh rates to be a better experience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 @Remij any best practices when it comes to Nvidia Control Panel settings? Im surprised at how many features are toggled on/off, I feel like I just want to force them to be application controlled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just keep everything default (use the restore button if you feel you messed it all up) but change: DSR factors (downsampling) Check the box 2.25x. (2.25x = 4K on a 1440p monitor) Low Latency Mode = Ultra Set Gsync to "On Fullscreen and Windowed Mode" And that's it. You can force your Anisotropic Filtering to 16x if you wish as well. Most games will automatically do it.. but some older games require it to be forced and it can make a huge difference. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the Steam Store page there's a "Download Demo" on the right side around the add to cart button. It comes with the benchmarks and you don't have to pay for them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 4K TV (and its great for gaming) but on a PC I find higher refresh rates to be a better experience. Yep, higher refresh rates are always better than more resolution. Native 4K made sense... when it wasn't possible to generate a near perfect (or in some cases better than native) 4K image from a lower resolution. Now... if you're not using a lower resolution and reconstructing it... you're doing it wrong. There's simply smarter ways to do things now. Native 4K is a massive waste of resources. Downsampling is nice though. Downsampling from 4K to a 2K monitor produces a very pleasing image. More resolution helps the image become more temporally stable.. which is always welcome. That's why CGI always looks so good despite the fact that you can watch it at lower resolutions... it's just looks stable. No aliasing or artifacts. DynamiteCop wasn't wrong when he said the sweet spot on PC is 1440p at high framerates. 160-200fps... it feels and looks sublime. Don't forget that with temporal AA solutions, the more frames generated means better accumulation and convergence. So while the resolution may be lower than 4K... it can actually look sharper in motion and cleaner. Edited August 20, 2021 by Remij 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
