Looks like it's $30 on Steam right now for the Summer Sale. Think it's worth it at that price?

Ah, it's letting me add the base game now.

I'm confused. Why does the topic title say 03 March 2017? 

Oh hell yeah, the PC version supports DualSense! That was one of the reasons I ended up playing the first game on PS5 over PC. Even though my PC could pump out higher performance/fidelity, the DualSense features won me over completely. Feeling the rat hoards pitter-patter around on your fingertips truly cranks up the immersion factor and is quite freaky!

I've got The Blair Witch Project and Visage lined up. Going try out both this weekend.

Damn, this thread is getting me nostalgic for Prey. Might be time for a replay...

LOVED stalker though haven't played since maybe 2008. This trailer was surprisingly effective--looking forward to it!

I want that and a new WipeOut game.  Man, WipeOut at 120Hz, sheesh!

Have you tried Redout? It's from the same devs as the original Wipeout games I believe. Quite fun!

• If the PC was on but the TV originally booted to another source (like say my PS4) and then I later switched it to PC, it wouldn't find the signal unless I reset the TV

My workaround for this has been to quickly toggle Instant Game Response mode off then back on. Seemed to do the trick 99% of the time, but still very annoying. Gonna update my firmware now!

That looks like 4K but does not look like 60fps 

Got my Steam gift card as well. Thank you so much!!

BLESS THIS MAN!

Sure thing - a Steam gift card it will be!

Bless your soul! I don't think I've won anything before 😅 Thank you!

@morph89 - you're (one of) today's winners!

 

What will it be?

Oh wow! Is it too late to claim this prize? Would it be possible to get a steam gift card? I'm Morph89 on steam as well. Mainly looking to nab Sekiro but there are one or two smaller titles I might bite on.

There were so many patches we all gave up

And so did the devs! 

jkjk. Management gets all the blame here.

Currently getting around 55-65 FPS at 4K/ultra settings (no Psycho mode on RT)/Performance DLSS

 

Edit: please note that I've only played about 2 hours and its possible my frames are higher because I simply haven't hit a congested part of Night City yet.

Wow, that's a decent boost. What's your CPU/RAM?

4K/Ultra Setting on PC = At best You've witnessed nothing better (artistic/subject matter preferences aside) and at worst on par with Sony First party offerings. Very impressed! 

What sort of FPS are you getting? I'm running 4K HDR/Ultra and getting about 45fps when I step out into that downtown area right outside V's apt during the day (where you sit down to have lunch).

My specs are:

i7 4770K @4Ghz

RTX 3090

32GB DDR3

Samsung 960 Pro NVMe SSD (game drive)

RTX on + DLSS on Auto/Performance. If I disable RTX I get about 65-70 in the same area. Does that seem right?

Just got a ASUS Strix 3090. Took long enough. Solid version at least!

Congrats! Was that direct from the ASUS site? Every time I got a notification they were in stock, the site would be slow as molasses, then speed up again as soon as they were sold out.

Wait, these GPUs aren’t HDMI 2.1? If they’re HDMI 2.1 then VRR will work regardless of Freesync or GSync. Freesync compatibility on TVs would only matter for VRR via a HDMI 2.0 port.

Hmm, after looking a little more into it, it sounds like HDMI 2.1 VRR range is 40-120Hz. If frames drop below that range with FreeSync, AMD low framerate compensation kicks in. Not sure if LFC will work with HDMI 2.1 VRR or if that's G-Sync/FreeSync only... 

VERY tempted by AMD's offerings considering it's still nearly impossible to get an RTX 3000 card for a reasonable price. However, two big drawbacks for me are 1) no DLSS/equivalent at the moment and 2) LG is not bringing FreeSync support to their 2019 OLEDs, just their 2020 models. 

I will never understand 30fps VR trailers. Like, cut scenes are one thing, but gameplay footage?

Anyone use a 55” TV as a pc monitor?  I ordered a Samsung Q90t but I’m thinking it might be way too big.  I’m thinking about canceling and spending a little more on a 48” LG CX.  I can sit about 6 feet away when using a controller but would be 3 feet away when using a keyboard and mouse.  I've been using a 43" TV for the past 5 years and it feels small at this point  I don't think I realized how much bigger a 55" was when I saw it in store.   Thoughts?

I went from a 40" 4K monitor to a 55" LG C9 OLED. Not gonna lie, it took about a week to get used to the added height. It felt ridiculous that entire week, then it suddenly 'clicked' and has been just absolutely amazing since. I was kicking myself at first because I knew the 48" CX would be coming out this year, but I was desperate to upgrade. Now that I'm used to the 55" though, I have zero desire to go for anything smaller!  

As others stated, just take some basic steps to avoid screen burn-in. I'm one year deep so far with absolutely zero complaints. Well, my only complaint is that I don't have a HDMI 2.1 GPU to experience its 4K/120 glory, and it doesn't seem like that's going to change anytime soon!

AMD's new processors they are launching within a month will most likely be the go-to option 8 months from now.  I would start the budget as such at a minimum:

 

$350 CPU (AMD Ryzen 3 8+ cores)

$150 Motherboard (AMD B550)

$80 CPU Cooler (Very good air cooler or mediocre water cooler)

$125 RAM (32GB, at least 3200 MHz but preferably 3600 MHz)

$150 NVME SSD (1TB)

$100 Case (Good airflow)

$100 Power Supply (80 Plus Gold or Plat, minimum 650W)

$700 RTX 3080 

 

$1750 tentative total.

 

Currently SSD and RAM prices have been falling, so hopefully they continue until next year.  Power supply prices have increased because of supply issues, so hopefully that is resolved and they get cheaper next year.

Would a 650W PSU realistically be sufficient? The 3080 and 3090 are absolute power hogs (the 3090's 'minimum' is 750W, but tests have shown system power draws spike well past that).

I think he means that 10-15% faster isn't enough to justify the price of the 3090. 

Oh I know, but if stock is so constrained right now, Nvidia might be banking on people buying the 3090 out of desperation. It's cynical and I hope I'm wrong, but if Nvidia can only make lets say 10,000 cards right now--it's in their best interest to sell as many of those at double the price as possible. Scalping and low inventory are gonna drive the cost of the 3080 up to $1K+ anyway, so might as well sell them at an inflated price.

well that’ll make it even harder to get a 3080

Ugh, almost seems like that's kind of the point...if they're essentially the same chip, I'm sure Nvidia would prefer to sell the that's double the price.
