1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,759
I love gaming in my theater room but despite all the marketing from Sony Xbox

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:13,920
AMD NVIDIA when it comes to high refresh rate and reasonable settings 4K is still

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:18,880
tough to run part of my problem is that I skipped NVIDIA's 40 series so in the

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:23,560
leadup to the 590 launch I said both plof and I went on the record if all the

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,679
rumors are true we are buying one as someone with a monitor I wanted even

6
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:31,880
more performance than I'm getting from my 490 on the subject of monitors MSI

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,840
sponsored this video with their new MPG 272 urx a 27in 4K 240 HZ gaming display

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:44,160
and the premise is simple we're going to build a top-of-the-line gaming PC do a

9
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:49,640
little ad hoc testing with the RTX 590 and when we're done each of us has to

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,480
cancel our pre-order or pull the trigger

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:56,920
on a $2900 Canadian doll gaming doohickey

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,359
plus tax but here's the thing why is

13
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,800
this decision so complicated I mean whether you think the price is Justified

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:08,200
or not the 5090 is clearly at the top of the charts but the issue is that I don't

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,119
play any of those games that we tested do you not really we choose our

16
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:16,920
benchmarks to paint a well-rounded picture of performance not to try to

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:20,640
cover every popular game well today we changed that not only did the lab get us

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,400
Benchmark numbers for all of the games in our suite including many you didn't

19
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:28,600
see in the review but we're going to throw in random titles that I want to

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,680
play that he wants to play and that you want to see us play all at

21
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:48,000
4K big moment plugging it in considering this graphics card cost

22
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,680
$2,000 setting it to anything other than high or very high it just feels bad man

23
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:57,360
but Counterpoint considering that this GPU costs

24
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:02,920
$2,000 getting low frame rates feels pretty bad man and so do is lowering the

25
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:07,880
resolution dlss might have come a long way and reflex 2 might fix some of our

26
00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:12,319
latency issues with frame gen but reflex 2 ain't out yet is it sure isn't and it

27
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:17,239
won't do anything about the artifacting and general weirdness that we did still

28
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,120
find noticeable in our 8K gaming video that's especially true when the monitor

29
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:28,519
you happen to own I also own a monitor is like 115 in so the way that I see it

30
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,800
dlss is on the menu but if I'm spending

31
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:37,160
this much on a GPU you I don't want to generate frames I want to render frames

32
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:42,760
as for an FPS Target okay my theater display is 120 HZ is that too much to

33
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:48,440
ask not for $2,000 especially when most modern mid-tier or high tier TVs start

34
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:51,440
at 120 HZ refresh rate and some monitors

35
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:55,040
can do more both our Monitor and our GPU

36
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,879
today support DisplayPort 2.1 ubr2 it

37
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:03,840
runs it up to 80 gb per second meaning 4K 240 Herz can be done now with no

38
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:10,519
display stream compression I have not actually experienced this yet so I can't

39
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:16,319
wait that's a pretty monitor who she's sharp dude let's start

40
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,720
with a game that really benefits from a high resolution display and that really

41
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,799
punishes your system at higher detail levels and higher view distances wow

42
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:33,439
that is smooth I have never seen this game look

43
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:37,280
this smooth really oh dude yeah your 1%

44
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:39,080
lows they go as low as like 50 well 40

45
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:44,720
but depending on what you're looking at it's pretty reasonable oh 100% look it's

46
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,920
a really well optimized game like you can run it on Intel integrated Graphics

47
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:53,480
that was one of their targets when they developed it yeah but that would be at

48
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:58,159
low and once you start pushing it up to higher details and higher resolutions it

49
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:04,200
is an extremely punishing game because there is so much detail there's a ton

50
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,360
going on we're one game in and I'm already

51
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,360
like you're making a much bigger upgrade

52
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:15,360
than I am cuz I could probably run ano at home 4K maybe not quite those

53
00:04:13,079 --> 00:04:23,040
settings and still get pretty good FPS that's true 4090 is strong it's a great

54
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:25,759
card yeah 3080 is also strong but old a

55
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:32,280
little dated what's next Halo this is running amazingly it really is I have it

56
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,400
absolutely cranked yep 4K Ultra

57
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:41,520
everything rate tracing on for a competitive shooter it's a great looking

58
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,440
game in any configuration maxed out it's

59
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:48,080
gorgeous but how many of the games that you play are this demanding well okay I

60
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:52,120
got to be honest with you probably 90% of my gaming time right now is in an

61
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:56,160
indie hockey Rogue light called tape to tape yeah it's great but it isn't

62
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:01,720
demanding it's really not but I do need to see how it runs how many FPS we get

63
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,960
in here 47 two FPS let's go you think

64
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:09,800
you can win with 400 FPS I think I could win with 400 FPS yeah I think you need a

65
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:12,280
th000 no it's way too far away oh I got

66
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:16,520
it nice dang it enough of my games though want to take the driver's seat

67
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:21,400
sure I've got four games three of which were actually mentioned by our community

68
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,840
as well ff7 rebirth stalker 2 and path

69
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:28,880
of XL 2 I'm actively playing all three of those and then a fourth one came out

70
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,479
today today Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

71
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,360
wait that's the one the recommended system requirements for 4K 30 is a 4080

72
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:40,759
that's right let's start with Final Fantasy

73
00:05:37,479 --> 00:05:43,120
sure at home I'm typically getting in

74
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:50,600
gungaga Village or other towns about the 120 cap and then it goes down to 1% of

75
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:51,880
like 50 60 I you know this doesn't look

76
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:57,400
that different it doesn't look that different this actually looks about the

77
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,520
same as what I'm getting on my 4090 so I don't know if it's just bottlenecked by

78
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:06,759
the FPS cap or what but I gotta

79
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:12,199
say this is actually another point in my 409s favor

80
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,199
cuz this is what I'm playing right now and this

81
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:21,520
is about the same I was really hoping for those 1% lows to be a bit more

82
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:24,440
stable yeah that's one out of four and I

83
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:28,360
got to say I'm I don't have any reason right now to upgrade go ahead and start

84
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:34,759
your next game all right next up stalker 2 heart of Chernobyl this game came out

85
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:38,840
a little later last year and it is hard

86
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:42,080
to run I get close to like 60 or 80

87
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:44,520
averages and my 1% are bad though

88
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:48,120
whereas right so right now you're using dlss to get it to run it all which I

89
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,880
know you don't like to do so yeah I prefer turning it off and uh I'm getting

90
00:06:51,680 --> 00:07:00,479
numbers better than I normally get with dlss on

91
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:03,280
not much but we're getting like 90 855

92
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:07,599
average with this looks very playable this is very playable 1% are like they

93
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:12,840
do go down to 50 or so but they're usually around 60 I do Wonder though how

94
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:17,840
much of that is the 9800 x3d we have in here and how much of it's the GPU yeah

95
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,599
cuz a whole platform upgrade would be cheaper than upgrading your GPU and we

96
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,360
were talking off camera about how he just convinced one of his friends to

97
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:29,520
upgrade their monitor rather than buy a 5090 because there's other things you

98
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:33,280
can do to make your games run better other than just buying a new GPU yeah or

99
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,120
at least look prettier it's just that he already has like sick everything else

100
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:44,199
so I was really hoping for it to work a

101
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:45,879
little worse than this you're like the

102
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:51,120
one guy I can think of who looks at the new product he's planning to buy and is

103
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:54,280
like oh I really hope it sucks yeah it's

104
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:58,120
expensive okay let's see how much dlss

105
00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:00,639
helps triple digits with 1% just hit

106
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:07,879
Triple digit oh they're usually like 80 90 okay all right well it's markedly

107
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,039
improved next up is path of XL2 while we

108
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:13,000
wait for that it's a good time to tell you about our new sport buttonup shirt

109
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:16,639
from LTT Store.com it's stretchy lightweight and remarkably

110
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,479
comfortable I normally get like 90 to

111
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:27,360
150 FPS average I mean that's what that's a huge range it's a huge range I

112
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,720
know uh I've actually been trying their new controller support it's actually

113
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,880
pretty good it's frustrating to me because it runs well except when it

114
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:39,039
doesn't uh and sometimes I see major dips below triple digits in maps so it

115
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:45,880
does get even worse than that okay it's all over the place just like it normally

116
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:50,519
is but I'm seeing instead of 90250 we're

117
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:53,240
seeing like 212 down to like 175 and

118
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:57,040
it's doing exactly what I wanted no my triple digits I'm still seeing okay

119
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:04,200
we're we're still getting stutters every now and then but that's kind of just the game um does it feel different it

120
00:09:02,079 --> 00:09:08,399
doesn't feel that much different but it's hard for me seeing those numbers

121
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:13,200
like I'm seeing 1% of like2 okay don't look at the numbers don't look at the

122
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:15,399
numbers how does it feel it feels good

123
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:21,279
but it felt good before do I want it to feel good or do I want to pay that much

124
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:23,040
money to make it feel good oh man I I

125
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:26,079
I'm going to put this one as another win for the

126
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:32,399
5090 okay all right then last but not least

127
00:09:29,839 --> 00:09:37,959
Kingdom Come Deliverance to sorry I keep leaning into the frame cuz I'm like I

128
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:41,839
know I know five layer tandem OLED panel

129
00:09:37,959 --> 00:09:45,160
boys sure looks pretty it really does in

130
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:46,560
any game and MSI has asked us to point

131
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,720
out that you can make your whole desk look pretty too with Windows Dynamic

132
00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:53,760
lighting certification that syncs lighting effects across multiple devices

133
00:09:52,560 --> 00:10:02,560
I know this is the start of the game and it might get a little harder to run later once we're in a forest but 140

134
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,920
average and like 130 1% lows 120 I don't

135
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:13,120
know how badly it's going to make my 4090 cry but I do know that if I go home now

136
00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:15,720
and I boot this up and I'm getting less

137
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:20,040
than 100 in your 1% low less than 100 in my 1% lows or even in

138
00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:23,560
averages I'm going to be real upset now that I've seen this you are such a de

139
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:29,360
I'm going to be real upset you know that right I know but I just want it to look

140
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,160
good we're seeing the odd dip yeah I can

141
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:36,440
deal with that it's it's almost impossible to fully fix random hitching

142
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:44,680
especially in new games oh but I mean look I'm fighting people and I'm getting

143
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:46,279
like 120 130 FPS y i man okay now it's

144
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:53,399
time for us to look at some Community picks first up Indiana Jones at 8K this

145
00:10:50,839 --> 00:11:00,639
ran surprisingly well oh man 140 150 130 FPS average man

146
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:06,760
this is such a goodl looking game yeah it really is those 1% are Rock Solid

147
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:12,000
above 60 they're like 80 to 110 I would turn it up yeah let's do it I don't need

148
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:17,519
120 FPS in a more cinematic exploratory game like

149
00:11:15,079 --> 00:11:21,519
this go up one notch cuz path tracing is demanding ooh turn on indirect

150
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:26,720
illumination though sure oh that's full RT I don't think she's going to do this

151
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:31,000
you've got like a solid 60 70 FPS average I wouldn't play it like this no

152
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:35,399
no I mean move the mouse yeah that feels bad yeah I

153
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:41,320
wouldn't play like this okay fair enough what if the dlss was turned on we can

154
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:44,000
try it 120 115 FPS average 1% are like

155
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:48,480
70 85 yeah we're only on we're on quality too so overall usually when you

156
00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:54,040
have it set to Quality it looks pretty darn good it really does just buy a 5090

157
00:11:51,839 --> 00:11:58,560
you you can't tell people that just buy it's easy it's so cheap it's

158
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:02,880
so you want your games to run good don't you just spend two $2,000 on a graphics

159
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,920
card that's more than what most people spend on their computers when you're on

160
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,760
your deathbed do you want to look back and think of how many FPS you could have

161
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:15,720
had if you just that was so cringe dude it's a

162
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:20,680
reference this monitor may only be Vasa true black 400 certified but it can also

163
00:12:18,199 --> 00:12:24,320
reach up to a thousand nits and it can do that without issue because msi's got

164
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:28,199
their OLED care 2.0 to help reduce the risk of image retention and if it does

165
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:36,480
happen they've got a three-year warranty that covers that specifically time for

166
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:39,760
flight Sim 2024 37 FPS average 3 1% lows

167
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,040
yeah okay it's hitching every now and

168
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:46,560
then which kind of sucks like I'm seeing 1% of literally four like single digit

169
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:50,360
1% but you know the rest of it pretty okay should we turn on dlss you know

170
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:55,360
we're not getting that much more uh frames per second though with dlss on no

171
00:12:52,880 --> 00:13:00,000
it went up to a solid 45 instead of 33 or so it's got 40 FPS 1% are like 30

172
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:04,240
plus and the hitching is bad though it really

173
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:08,760
kind of we have to turn this down yeah okay let's do that let's turn it from

174
00:13:05,959 --> 00:13:13,720
Ultra to one set under so we're getting closer to 60 averages 1% of like 45 this

175
00:13:11,959 --> 00:13:20,440
feels a lot better already though this is incredible the density is so high you

176
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:24,959
don't dud this looks so good you don't need flight Sim to run at 200 frames a

177
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:29,680
second no it's a slow and steady game the stutters they do happen sometimes

178
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:35,040
worse than others especially here with all these like City talking about it

179
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:39,639
did but you know they go away and then it's like it's smooth sailing again

180
00:13:37,199 --> 00:13:45,240
flying well it's flying is just sailing in the in the sky time for a very

181
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,240
demanding game Star Citizen deal say

182
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:53,639
well it's just off so whatever HDR sure it's enabled blah blah blah very high

183
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:56,959
high sure let's just let it be cranked

184
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:59,279
all right it's barely doing 60 average

185
00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:02,079
1% are like a solid 10 something sometimes I'm going to take a look at a

186
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:07,079
few more of these you want to come back for crisis sure let's try Elden ring

187
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:11,120
it's capped at 60 FPS but you know hopefully those 1% low stutters are gone

188
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:16,199
all of our settings are maxed out at 4K R tracing cranked we've hit our cap and

189
00:14:14,839 --> 00:14:22,240
we're still stuttering every now and then next game for GTA online looks like

190
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:28,360
we're using about 5 gigs of video memory set to 4K 240 Herz everything is

191
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:37,560
basically cranked that's not bad you know 55 160 FPS average 1% lows 140 150

192
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:42,040
I think that if you're playing GTA 5 or online with a 5090 I don't think you

193
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:48,320
have anything to worry about when it comes to performance at 4K Boulders Gate

194
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:51,360
3 everything cranked we're getting 210

195
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:55,480
frames a second our 1% lows are

196
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:58,120
sitting 150 to 200 FPS let's check out

197
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:02,880
Minecraft next it's got everything set to you know Max render distance Max

198
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:08,120
simulation distance um everything else is turned on or set to Max so you might

199
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:16,360
get some initial hitching but now we're seeing 230 FPS average 1% are around 200

200
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:19,079
as well Minecraft is running pretty well but you know what we can make it look a

201
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:25,600
little prettier than this now we've got Minecraft with BSL shaders and it looks

202
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:30,480
incredible I'm still getting like 165

203
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:33,360
FPS average 150 180 1% lows goes deep

204
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:40,720
down is like 36 I think that if you want to play maxed out Minecraft at 4K with a

205
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:47,519
590 this is a very comfortable gaming

206
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:49,839
experience next game okay 4K HDR pq10

207
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:54,959
Reflex on with Boost okay now we're looking at cyberp

208
00:15:52,160 --> 00:16:02,240
Punk no Ray tracing no dlss it looks great it runs great next

209
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:06,480
game as for Arc survival ascended this one's very unoptimized we're at 4K

210
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:12,040
render scale set to 100% even though dlss is set to off just in case Graphics

211
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:18,240
is all pretty maxed out here I'm getting like 100 FPS average 1% dipping into 50s

212
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:23,399
but they're you know they're usually around 65 70 this is very playable now

213
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,040
let's play another game you guys requested that wasn't great at launch

214
00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:35,600
but has you know become pretty good over the years Fallout 76 I've got everything

215
00:16:30,199 --> 00:16:37,720
maxed out 4K and I'm getting 240 260

216
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,519
frames a second Rock Solid performance you know your 1% lows are going to dip

217
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:44,800
but it's not anything that you're going to feel terrible about I don't

218
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:50,720
experience any hitching right now now time for beam andng we've got it set to

219
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,959
4K uh Ultra preset I haven't touched any

220
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,399
of these it could be turned up a little more but I think Ultra preset is more

221
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,759
than fair all right we're getting the odd

222
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:05,240
hitch just chilling on on the beach here but otherwise I'm seeing you know 300

223
00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:11,919
FPS it's actually a pretty Rock Solid 1% lows as low as 175 going up into 200 240

224
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:16,720
I know this isn't the most scenic environment otherwise you know it's

225
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:22,640
pretty solid let's check out Black Ops 6 4K native resolution Extreme Graphics

226
00:17:20,679 --> 00:17:26,839
preset yeah we've played almost a full match and I'm still getting like 160

227
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:32,000
average frames a second with lows of like 144 150 it's a small map and it's

228
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:37,000
not war zone I don't know if war zone handles a lot worse than this but this

229
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:43,520
seems more than playable another one you guys requested is Destiny 2 we're in 4k

230
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,960
everything is cranked I'm sure our 1%

231
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:50,960
lows aren't that awful like I'm not feeling any hitching game is just

232
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:56,440
working um feels great Stephen if you're

233
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:59,240
watching this 4K Destiny 2 5090 250 300

234
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:04,520
frames a second you know you want it of course of course they want crisis

235
00:18:02,159 --> 00:18:08,720
remastered yeah there you nerds there were a lot of people asking for the

236
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:16,000
original crisis yeah everything is set to can oh hdr1 it does have it very good

237
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:17,679
you're getting 113 FPS though average 1%

238
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:23,039
dip pretty heavily down to like 30 but now that it's kind of settled down it's

239
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:26,480
you know around 100 110

240
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:29,520
dude dude the Shadows on the gun they

241
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,760
they look really good that water look

242
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:36,240
out at the beach oh man look at these

243
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:38,480
Shadows look at these Shadows Bud look

244
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:42,919
at the lighting inside here you get that hard lighting coming in from the Sun oh

245
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,559
man this just this makes me want the new card before we're allowed to make a

246
00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:51,840
final decision we have to look at the lab's results these reveal a key thing

247
00:18:48,679 --> 00:18:55,200
that our ad hoc testing cannot look at

248
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,919
how poorly the RTX 3090 has aged when

249
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:02,640
the 40 series came out a couple of years ago it was $100 more for double or darn

250
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:07,400
near double the performance well that made the price feel somewhat Justified

251
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:13,799
given that it was a decidedly next gen card but the 55090 is another $400 or

252
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:19,000
about a 25% increase in price for about what 20 to 30% performance bump on

253
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,880
average is it a bad upgrade I mean not if you have the money to throw at it but

254
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,480
you're not getting nearly the same feel-good moment that upgraders got last

255
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,200
time when they plugged in their new card that I got fired up their favorite game

256
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:34,280
and then saw night and day performance Improvement atomic heart sees a jump

257
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:40,159
into triple digits but then a decent uplift with the 590 City skylines 2 goes

258
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:45,200
from cinematic to playable to slightly more playable the other CS2 sees decent

259
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,799
gains from generation to generation as does Shadow of the Tomb Raider and to a

260
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:53,240
similar extent tiny tinis wonderlands but when we include the rest of today's

261
00:19:50,799 --> 00:20:00,000
list and games we tested for the review most of the charts look like this rocket

262
00:19:55,799 --> 00:20:03,120
League Total War Warhammer 3 return

263
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,799
f124 The Last of Us Red Dead Redemption

264
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:10,080
2 Dota 2 is a weird outlier but we're pretty sure it's just CPU bottleneck

265
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:14,400
giving me another excuse to not upgrade to a 5090 guess what game out of this

266
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:18,720
whole list I've got the most hours in2 that's right by a wide margin I'm

267
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:24,679
getting Deja Vu this feels a lot like going from the 2080 TI to the 3090 back

268
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:29,440
then people paid an extra $500 MSRP for about a 20s something per performance

269
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:34,720
uplift although they did get a whack of extra vram the performance was me and it

270
00:20:32,679 --> 00:20:38,520
was the RAM capacity that was more desired miners cared while ethereum was

271
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,919
still a thing the productivity benchmarks looked great and Gamers were

272
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:47,559
starting to care about getting more vram for higher resolution gaming and we're

273
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,440
seeing kind of the same thing play out now except this time it's the AI crowd

274
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,480
instead of the crypto miners that are enjoying the 32 gigs of vram on this

275
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:59,240
thing as for the productivity guys well hey more faster means more money so they

276
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:07,760
can recoup their investment but do you need 32 gigs of vram for

277
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:09,840
gaming even at 4K not now and probably

278
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:16,000
not ever if I'm being honest ever is a big word but like you know not ever

279
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:18,840
right now so then after all this the 8K

280
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,440
gaming the Labs testing the 4K gaming today are you going for it but don't

281
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:30,240
answer that yet because I wrote an email to myself with what I'm going to say to

282
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:34,360
plof I wrote this on January 30th okay

283
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:38,679
if I could sell my 4090 right now and go

284
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:41,520
and buy a 5090 tomorrow I do it but I

285
00:21:38,679 --> 00:21:46,240
don't want to sell my 4090 right now and then wait 3 months maybe for a

286
00:21:44,279 --> 00:21:49,520
replacement card I'm going to sit on my pre-order and I'm not going to cancel it

287
00:21:48,159 --> 00:21:54,279
no you have to make a decision you've got to tell the people I'm canceling it

288
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:57,679
then I'm canceling you're canceling it I

289
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:59,520
no way I got it wrong you got it wrong

290
00:21:57,679 --> 00:22:04,279
you guessed that I would I'm calling it you're buying it

291
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,200
wow wow there were a few big things the

292
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:09,679
Dota 2 performance not that I need more than 400 frames a second in Dota 2 but

293
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:14,159
like that's the main game I play the Final Fantasy thing was huge yeah that

294
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:19,240
was a big deal I was really hoping that it would really fix those 1% lows

295
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:24,720
stalker 2 was that one was tough that was actually really hard for me seeing

296
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:26,320
it crack 100 plus FPS I can't wait for

297
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:31,600
his I caved tweet I deleted Twitter I'm calling it

298
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:36,840
I'm calling it I'm still calling it I'm not UNC calling it that's how this is

299
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:41,799
going to be I will email Memory Express today well tell you what I'll take it

300
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:47,080
cuz I'm going for it all right I've got a 3080 in my gaming system now huge

301
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:50,520
upgrade huge it's an enormous upgrade for me but what I'm not going to do is

302
00:22:48,919 --> 00:22:54,720
buy more than one of them for my multiple gaming PCs so I'm going to have

303
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:58,320
to finally figure out a smooth way of sharing it between here and the theater

304
00:22:56,919 --> 00:23:03,600
room maybe you can give me a hand with that I'll do it if you give me this

305
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:06,320
monitor come on you know it's only $199
