Re: RTX 2070 vs 2080

I would forego both of them and get the 1080ti. The cheapest 1080ti I see is over 800 and 1080 around 700.....unfortunately. But at that price 2080 makes the most sense to me. I’m still leaning towards the 2070. It sounds like it can do 1440p @ 144hz with gsync. That is my biggest concern. I have n...

Re: RTX 2070 vs 2080

I hate the price but I also couldn't spend $500+ dollars on a card that has similar performance to a 2 year old GTX 1080. So far i'm very happy with my RTX 2080. I agree. One of my thoughts was if I don’t spend the extra 200 on the 2080 and the 2070 is good for 3-5 years at that point there might b...

Re: RTX 2070 vs 2080

If price is a consideration, I wouldn't get a 9700K. Maybe 9600K or 8700K (if you find good prices). Or an AMD? 1.5TB in 2 SSDs seems like a waste. I'd get one 1TB SSD (either NVMe or SATA) and a 2-4TB HDD. I looked into the 8700k and was only a savings of 30$. Good advice on the ssd...i will consi...

RTX 2070 vs 2080

Hello - I am building a new pc. I have most parts picked out. I am hoping to play games on a 1440p 144hz monitor with gsync in ultra settings. Will the 2070 handle most AAA titles in this setting? I feel the 2080 is overpriced for what it is but if that’s what I need then that’s what I’ll get. Thank...

Re: Building new pc. Need advice please.

More good advice thank you. Ok so I believe that most parts I have figured out. Couple of questions still- Case- can’t decide if usb type c is a must. I feel like the fractal design s2 is maybe too open and I feel like my build would have a lot of empty space. I do not plan on ever upgrading to cust...

Re: Building new pc. Need advice please.

Thank you for the advice here. This is some good atuff for me to look into.
In regards to the motherboard, does anybody have any experience with Asus? Are they better than gigabyte? Do I really need a Z390 or is z370 ok?
Thanks for explaining the radiator sizing - that makes sense.

Building new pc. Need advice please.

Hello all - New to the forum but not the website. I’ve been patiently waiting for a system build guide to come out to no avail. This is what I have chosen so far. Can you please look it over and help with any final decisions. My wife can’t stand me asking her about this anymore, can’t blame her this...
