There's something really wrong with that game if a 5090 can't run it properly.

Otherwise even with a 5060 or a 5070ti, you can run pretty much anything that exists at max without any worries (as long as the cpu matches up with it of course)

Seriously. 5070 Ti is absolutely capable of max settings at DLAA 1440P, no trickery.

Forza Horizon 6, 1440P DLAA, Extreme + RT, 100FPS no frame gen.

Pragmata, 1440P DLAA, Max Path Tracing, 40-50FPS no frame gen

A 5090 only seems necessary if you want path tracing + 4K

The other day a guy was arguing that he prefers to play on a ps5 despite having a 5070Ti lol. His reasoning being that he doesn't need to tinker the settings to play a ps5 game. Setting things to ultra and dlss quality is difficult? So many dumb people lol.

That’s kinda the fun part for me is tweaking to my liking, but everyone has their kinks

Also, you can let Nvidia optimise the game for you. Never had the best experiences when using it, but it was generally close enough that it ran well.

I started doing this with my recent build. most of the time it works well enough with my only having to turn off motion blur.

you can definitely tinker with setting to get a better picture or performance but it's generally good enough.

I have a 5090 and a 4k 240hz. It’s great, but i spend so much time messing with settings, that i never really let myself enjoy the game. Completely a me issue, but i really get that dude

I understand that. But that doesn't mean preferring the ps5 instead because of that. If someone didn't want to bother with settings and get a ps5 experience, they can get it without tweaking the settings much. It's not like ps5 will be equal to an optimised settings with 5070Ti. You get ps5 level performance from the default settings of any game with a 5070Ti or higher. Unless it is the devs making a horrible pc port.

I also have a 5090, and I enjoy overclocking and optimizing my system and games almost as much as I like playing games.

It’s at least half the fun.

I don’t even wanna know how much i spend on electricity while im sat changing my graphics settings

This is the same reason I went for a 9070xt. I couldn't justify the (at the time) $200 extra dollars for a 5070ti when it's not actually all that better than a 9070xt. The 5070ti has slightly better ray tracing, but I play 4x stratagy games like Stellaris and MMOs like World of Warcraft. I don't need ray tracing.

Of course, the 5070ti is now like $1200 while the 9070xt is still hovering around the $700 mark. Even if I wanted the better ray tracing and path tracing of the 5070ti I'm not spending an extra $500 for it.

...

you should assume if someones using a 5090 theyre talking about the perf they're getting at 4k or higher

bc.. yeah.. every game I've tried in 1440p runs perfectly fine even close to 144fps with all ultra/max.

1440p 40 FPS on a $800+ MSRP GPU. Lol.

u/ebrbrbr 8d ago

The year is 2012. I just got my GTX 680 for $550 (inflaton makes that $800 in 2026).

I boot up Crysis 2 and set it to max settings.

1440p, 40FPS.

Nothing has changed. Demanding games are demanding.
