@shadowfacts I honestly want to try to do basic SLI stuff with RTX one day, just because I think I see a way to make it work and people say it can't.I just want RTX in general though.

between parts i already have that are sitting unused and parts i could cannibalize from my grossly over-spec'd home server (ex-hackintosh), i think i could build the whole pc for the cost of the graphics card plus $150

@shadowfacts I played it on a 3060 Laptop with ray tracing and everything else on high at 1440p with 50 FPS by using DLSS.

@js i ended up buying a 3070, so hopefully between that and DLSS I can manage something that comes closer to the 144hz of my monitor

the case i'm going to reuse is a cheap piece of garbage with literally only 4 square inches of air intake at the front, so i guess i'm going to use it without a front panel and with the power button on a wire just dangling out of the case

i didn't realize the graphics card i bought was too wide to get into the cheapo case i already had (once it's in, it's fine, but getting it in is impossible), so i've done unspeakable things to it:

In Control, with high visual quality and medium ray tracing, I get 90-110 FPSI’m very happy with that, and the game looks fantastic

oh, and that's at 1440p with the DLSS render resolution set to 1080p (which i find to be visually indistinguishable from native 1440p)

i enjoy that gag that "havana syndrome" is caused by an altered item and the supposed sonic weapon was a cover story made up by the bureau

@shadowfacts I think I even set ray tracing to high on my 3060 Laptop. No problem on 1440p with DLSS :)

@js I could turn on the remaining few RT options, but I'd rather the extra ~10 FPS than the marginal increase in (the already superb) visual fidelity

@shadowfacts Totally agree, one of the best in recent memory for me. I went back and played Alan Wake too, not as good but very creepy and in the same universe. Give it a try!

@shadowfacts Oh yeah, the DLC alludes a lot to the Alan Wake lore. That’s how I found out about it!
