Paul is by far my favourite. I like Jayz but you have to take some of his stuff with a grain of salt at times but I think he’s genuine and his heart is in the right place.

I like Jay because he just seems like one of us and the type of dude I'd hang out with. He gets excited, he sometimes exaggerates but he also has fun and owns up to things.

I reckon Paul would be a ripping bloke to have a few beers with.

Could also work out beneficial if NVIDIA are only launching 5090 and 5080 at the same time and anyone shopping for a new card wants something better value.

Good news as the new app is way better than GeForce Experience anyway.

Rough last 18 months with unexpected big expenses and have hardly been able to buy anything for myself (oh no, first world problems). Our unplanned bathroom reno is about to start and that really should be it. I've had to foot the largest share of the expenses just because the wife's income is pretty fixed and cost of living expenses have really eaten into it and I'm lucky that I work a job that I have the opportunity to do plenty of overtime.
With the backstory out of the way I usually have to soften the missus up a bit before I do anything like build a new PC but for the first time ever I've received the "it's fine, you've worked hard and earned it". What she doesn't realise is she has green lit some upsells where I'd usually internally talk myself out of. Sooo ... What's a 5090 going to cost?

Bit weird they're forcing the change when the new app is still in beta.

I assume the new app will be out of beta when that happens. I didn't even realise it was still in beta. I got it as soon as it became available and it was a little bare bones but now it's fully featured and just assumed it was v1.0 by now.
I just went by the article (I'm assuming that last part is meant to be "exits the beta phase"):
I'll just move when they make me, what's a couple of months haha

Does anyone actually use GeForce Experience? I have never found a use for it outside of checking if there are new driver updates.

Driver updates, FPS counter for non-Steam games and clip recording. Agree that those things aren't really a big deal but it's just a nice to have and GE was poo. It wouldn't always work or detect games and just generally felt half finished. The improvement of the new app over GE now are things like built in driver roll back, the ability to tweak hardware level settings per game that normally you had to go through the NVIDIA CP to access and they've also rolled in a bunch of the display filter stuff but I don't think it's as fully featured as Reshade (maybe that's a future addition). You also don't need an NVIDIA account to use it anymore.
I like how it would optimise games.
Could I don't better myself? Probably. But not with the click of a single button so

If I have any game that I can't get away with just setting at max I'll usually let GE (or now the "NVIDIA app") auto optimise and I'll use that as a baseline and tweak from there until I'm happy. I usually end up within a few setting differences from "optimisation" guides from Youtube or other communities. I think it's a neat little feature too even if you need a little understanding when to ignore it. Like right now as I look at Cyberpunk recommended settings it's telling me to switch on DLSS to balanced and set ray tracing to psycho as well as turning on Ray Reconstruction and Path Tracing
. I know I've got a 4080 but it doesn't mean I want to run at 20fps lol.
Good to know Cyberpunk is still insane even on the latest and greatest 
I like that Crysis and Cyberpunk sit next to each other on my shelf (arranged alphabetically so not deliberate!)

Production for the 4080 is apparently ending in November after the 4090 was stopped in September. Trying to guess 5080* and 5090 launch and it feels like we're too late in the year and just going by the history of launches we don't seem to be far along enough in rumours for a 2024 launch (except 5090 and 5080* designs seem known). CES feels too far away to announce when the launch will still come some time after, not to mention trying to stock retailers by stealth over the holiday season would be challenging if CES is announcment and launch.
Looking around retailers and Scorptec are down to nine 4090 listings with a mixture of sold out and an ETA on others. PCCG the most at 11 with only a couple sold out and PLE only appear to list five (but I did have trouble with the filter on their mobile site so might be more). Internationally Newegg is showing only seven listings and watching some of the American tubers and they report their local supply is drying up. So if sometime late January to February is the 5000 launch it seems like there is going to be a 4080/4090 shortage when we typically have previous gen stock when next gen launches. Unless this is entirely by design this time to make hungry buyers have no choice but to buy a 5080*/5090.
*It's not a real 5080. NVIDIA doing a sneaky again and this time the real 5080 won't launch at the same time so they won't be made to rebrand it as a 5070ti.

I wonder when the best time to jump in with a new PC purchase next year will be? I expect prices to spike around the time Windows 10 support ends, but maybe that will only be at the lower end as your mums and dads upgrade their web browsing laptops at JB HiFi, because gamers will have had Windows 11-compatible PCs for literally years, even if they haven't installed it yet.
It might not mean anything, but............

I ended up pulling the trigger on a KBM combo, went with Corsair, never tried their peripherals. Since it's just for the loungeroom, I went a bit weird with it. Got a K70 Pro Mini keyboard and a Scimitar Elite something or rather mouse. I've always wanted an MMO style mouse and I've never had a 65% keyboard.
