Sure did. Wow, talk about gaming Nirvana. For the first time in my life I've felt I can play pretty much anything at 100-120 fps with all the bells and whistles for pretty much any game I care to. The Witcher 3 next-gen remake with all settings maxed out in 4k HDR running on my OLED42C2 at...

I ended up going overboard (probably) with a 13900k, and I have zero regrets. Thanks for the great advice from all who posted.

1. EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra with installed Bykski Water Block. I've used this for gaming since Jan 2021, and recently upgraded to a 4090. The GPU was bought through EVGA direct, so I can provide proof of purchase to the buyer, who will be covered under the 3 year trasnferable warranty until...

I use a OLEDCX48 for my couch gaming/MadVR movie watching, and I've just picked up another 42" OLED (LG C2) on a recent deal to pair with my 1600p UW desktop monitor. Naturally, my 4090 only has one HDMI port. I don't have a need to use both TVs at the same time, so that helps. I considered...

Thank you for the insights. I did a bit more digging online yesterday and sorta came to the same conclusion. Now trying to decide what to get. I was leaning on the old "go big or go home" in considering a 13900k, but Microcenter is running an amazing deal right now for a 12900k with Asus mobo...

Hey all, just wanted to get some opinions from the experts here on a potential CPU/mobo upgrade. I saw the recent post about CPU bottlenecks for the 4090, and it looks like it can be somewhat significant with an AMD 5800X compared to newer hardware, and the gap is only going to widen a bit more...

Okay.

I'm ashamed to say that I paid a scalper on eBay for my Evga 3080 FTW3 Ultra. It was around $350 over msrp, and I figured I was "lucky" to get that by buying right when the announcement of how solid the benchmarks are for AMDs new cards. Mt rationale was that the gpu demand situation has been...

Selling my 2080ti EVGA FTW3 Ultra Gaming model. Includes original box and all packaging. For reference, it's this one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KVKRLG2/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Card works perfectly. Have never removed the cooler or done any sort of...

This. The last time I bought an AMD it was a 7970, and in the 5% of cases where the drivers worked, the software I was running it with worked, and it wasn't overheating to reduce my performance, it was fucking fantastic. But eventually I got fed up with all the (majority case) caveats and...

Agree, this is ridiculous. I much preferred the last time around when they all went live with a good amount of stock at least through most of the first several hours after the broadcast. Hardware didn't ship for another month or so, but at least you could pre-order.

Saw about 6 models go up on newegg, tried several times to add any of them to my cart, but was never able to get to checkout. Now all gone, apparently. Nice.

Just supply and demand. MSRP is pretty meaningless when there's zero stock, especially when it's on a product that a) isn't even released yet, and b) had been forecasted to have supply issues likely through the new year at least. I really doubt prices are going to change much over the next...

Couldn't agree more. Playing Doom (2017) at 4k120 is a helluva experience, even without HDR

OLEDCX48, with backup 38" UW (in sig)

Uh, ok? I don't remember complaining about that. In point of fact I said that I'm glad we got a big jump in performance AND reduction in cost "unlike Turing".

Agree. Well, maybe not ZERO, but I bought a 2080ti a couple years ago knowing full well that it wasn't the best investment. I feel that 2 years of having the best GPU money can buy (barring the even more ludicrous RTX Titan) was worth the price. If the price of a huge leap in performance is...

I absolutely think it's worth water cooling GPUs. Over the past 10 years or so that I've had custom water cooling loops, I've found the main benefit to be in noise reduction, not so much performance. I hate anything above almost a whisper. You can get a lot of cooling potential if you're...

Regarding Best Buy, I might give them a try this time around. Back in the day I didn't have much faith in them, but they seem to have stepped up their game recently. I had a LG OLED48CX pre-ordered at B&H in May of this year in anticipation of it's release in June. No other retailer was...

Must haves: G-sync (officially or unofficially, as long as it really supports VRR, and the broader the range, the better) 100hz minimum refresh rate 3440x1440 minimum res <$650 I prefer monitors that appear to have smooth textures and do not appear "dirty" or sparkly. My main setup at home...

Thanks for the input. I decided to go in another direction with a Seasonic Focus SGX-650 (650w). Thought the 450 would probably cut it but might be close, and the Seasonic appears to strike a nice middle ground in size at STX-L proportions, meaning a bigger (and quieter) fan. Had read some...

Title, pretty much. This will be a secondary gaming box and I don't plan on having a lot of peripherals run off it or anything. Here are the components: ASRock Z390M ITX i5-9400F (likely will try to lock all cores to 3.9Ghz) 480GB SSD 8TB HDD EVGA 1080ti FTW3 (probably overclocked a modest...

Looking to spend around $400, maybe a bit more. Don't need a top overclocker, but it needs to fit into a Fractal Define Nano S (card length less than 315mm, thickness less than 39mm - not much more than 2 slot thickness). Heat under Neon01 Post here if you have any info or email...

SOLD to Odditory, thanks!

PM replied to. Sale pending. Will update depending on outcome.

Selling my 2080ti Gigabyte Gaming OC model. Includes original box and all packaging. This one OCs decently well, as seen in this Timespy bench (15300 graphics score): https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/29395570 Full disclosure: when disconnecting an HDMI cable at one point, the cable snagged and the...

GPU sold, thanks. Water block still available.

Sorry for the delay in responding - have been pretty distracted dealing with a sick kid the last few days. I was hoping to avoid separating the components, but it seems like it might have to happen to get this sold. How about $70 for the block.

Bump for price drop. Please let me know if photos aren't working. I can send direct if need be.

Price: $350 for everything - includes shipping to CONUS. Includes original packaging, manuals and whatnot. Everything is in excellent condition. The stock CPU cooler was never used (used a custom water loop with a XSPC Raystorm block), and is included. Prefer to sell as combo at this time...

Thanks for the heads up. I fixed the links. I know for sure they worked before because of the number of views...didn't realize imgur changed their urls periodically.

still for sale

Understand that making a change at this point might be tough, but it'd be nice if the poll broke out which units are defect free. Right now it's tough to compare the number of units of 2080ti (for example) that have failed in some way, to the number that haven't. Based on the results with...

Just about to ask this. No issues with my Gigabyte Gaming OC or the three others I ended up selling to friends, two of which were FE cards. Zero coil whine too, unlike most of the cards I've had in the past. Have never used PX1 software. Exclusively AB. Have successfully flashed BIOS and...

Impressive CPU score! I just picked up a 8086k and it did around 8k (rough estimate as I can't remember exactly) while OCed to 5.2GHz.

Do you have any evidence that this is the case or are you just speculating? Not trying to troll you, and it stands to reason yields may be lower than previous "Ti" cards because of the much larger die, but I honestly haven't seen this time around being any different with regard to availability...

I reread my post and it came across pretty harsh. That wasn't my intention. My apologies. In truth, his post isn't completely specific. OP said "TitanPascal", but equates it to a 1080ti. According to the listings on Nvidia's website, the 2016 version is the Titan X (pascal), and the 2017...

First, he didn't say Titan xp, he said X pascal. Second, there is NO WAY you'll ever see anything close to a 11-12% frame rate bump from ocing the memory a bit more. Hell, even zero mem oc compared to max is gonna be a couple frames at best. Max oc to max oc, the difference is on the order of...
