Not OP but my GPU is a decade old, would be nice to have the latest for once.

You might be better off with a 4000 series, unless you got a new motherboard that won’t be bottlenecked much by the pcie version jump.

Unless you’re getting a 5090 the pcie bottleneck should be negligible compared to your CPU or other things.
On pcie 3 the 4090 gets about a 5% performance penalty. I’d assume the 5080 is about the same performance as the 4090 so the hit should be similar. Unless you’re like me with a 5800x3d on a garbage B450 motherboard your CPU is probably going to be holding you back so much more than the pcie version.

The only caveat to that is that the card must be using x16 bus speed for the negligible impact, which only the high-end cards reliably do. A bunch of the 70 series and under cards are actually x8 bus speed, and then pcie 4 actually matters. ~20% vs 5% performance loss for 8x bus cards over pcie 3.

My guess is that if a 4090 is bottlenecked 5% on pcie 3.0 (although I think it’s closer to 10%). Also if pcie 4.0 is double the speed as 3.0, and pcie 5.0 is double 4.0. Then the bottleneck will be closer to 10% if running a 5080 on pcie 3.0.

Did Starfield become a good game?
Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Personally, I didn’t like it. A think a lot of it comes down to two things: Do you care about the writing and the world they’ve built? If so, how critical of it are you (or alternatively, have you seen the sci-fi tropes done well).
Starfield has some really bad world building. In particular, it doesn’t understand why we use sci-fi, and why it’s tropes are interesting. it’s to create an anologue of our world and to break it down, criticize, and point out it’s flaws and ways to fix them.
Starfield is the least critical writing I’ve ever seen I think. The Earth is destroyed, and instead of using this to discuss us destroying the planet right now, it’s just some technobable that has no parallels. Also, when fleeing Earth, they don’t try to solve issues. They just set up new corporations doing the exact same stuff in other places. When the game presents a problem where taking down a CEO would be one of the best possible outcomes, it isn’t an option. Literally everything you do in the game is maintaining the status-quo of the modern world, despite it being the source of so many issues in the game. You can’t change anything and no one wants to either.
Starfield doesn’t understand sci-fi. Fallout does a better job as a sci-fi series than Starfield does. If you’re still interested, the gameplay is also slow and boring and there’s almost no interesting stories or characters. Continue if you want, but I regret spending time on it for the price of $0.

That sounds pretty realistic to me. I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but this counts as a commentary on our social situation. Probably doesn’t make for a compelling game, though.

I enjoyed it.
The criticisms are valid, but I still think it was a fun time.

Bethesda games need 5080?
