AI summary — not a quote
PCPartPicker is the industry-standard tool for planning custom PC builds, highly regarded for its ability to organize part lists and automatically filter for component compatibility. While it is praised for its price aggregation and wattage estimation, experienced users treat it as a high-quality guide rather than an absolute authority, often double-checking specific physical clearances and motherboard QVLs.
Pros
- Automated compatibility filters prevent major errors like mismatched CPU sockets or motherboard sizes.
- Aggregates real-time pricing from multiple major retailers and provides price history data.
- Provides estimated wattage to help users select appropriate power supplies.
- Enables easy sharing of build lists for community feedback and browsing of completed user builds.
Cons
- Compatibility engine may not account for motherboard Qualified Vendor Lists (QVL) for RAM.
- Physical clearance checks for GPU dimensions and case space can occasionally be inaccurate or bugged.
- Wattage estimates are often conservative and may overstate actual power requirements.
- Does not automatically include specific local deals or in-store bundles like those from Microcenter.

[PCPartPicker.com](http://PcPartsPicker.com) will help compile your list and tell you if there is compatibility issues.
Use PC Part Picker to help you build out your PC using the parts you already have and help ensure (though always double-check) that you have enough space in the case and that parts are compatible.
Keep a list at PCPartPicker.com. It's technically not necessary but is organized and helps you in finding parts and tells you about compatibility issues and such

AI summary — not a quote
NVIDIA DLSS is widely regarded by the Reddit community as the premier upscaling technology, consistently praised for its superior image stability and quality compared to competitors like AMD's FSR. Users value it for providing significant frame rate improvements, particularly in demanding scenarios like ray tracing, while often maintaining a visual experience that rivals or occasionally exceeds native resolution through its integrated anti-aliasing.
Pros
- Significantly better image quality and stability than FSR.
- Provides a substantial FPS boost, especially in ray-traced or path-traced games.
- Superior anti-aliasing that reduces jagged edges and can look better than native AA solutions.
- Effective at making 1440p or 4K gaming viable on mid-range hardware.
Cons
- Can introduce blurriness compared to native resolution, especially at lower internal render scales.
- Visual quality and performance gains vary depending on the specific game implementation.
- Some users find the visual improvements over competitors to be negligible or unnoticeable during active gameplay.

DLSS Quality outputting to 1440p will render at 1707x960 internally. As that's only slightly less than 1920x1080, you won't notice much performance benefit compared to that resolution, but you will get better picture quality than outputting at 1080p and having your monitor upscale to 1440p.
With DLSS performance I manage 4k/60/high+ (no RT obviously) no problem with a 4070Ti and 11700K and DDR4
Native DLSS and FSR 4 is antialiasing solved.
DLSS does a wonderful job in that regard and in this game I can barely notice any ghosting or other DLSS artifacts.
Dlss is infinitely better than FSSR watch digital foundry they explain everything very very well
