thanks. yeah debating right now... i think by the time cyberpunk comes out i'm thinking there should be some good deals or major price drops on gpu's next year. i ordered the rx 570, because it's the lowest price i've seen on the latest gpu's in years but idk if i'm going to keep it. it's like **** i don't really need a gpu right now, games i play are not gpu demanding but that price and i'm still on a 270x

Rtx is their new platform that has both new hardware and software features
Main things
1) real time ray tracing. Shadows are created dynamically the same way they are in real life ie: light bounces around and casts shadows
2) dlss. A company uses nvidia a AI to be able to “predict” what the frame is supposed to look like. So you train multiple resolutions against a “perfect” frame and then you can essentially upscale with much better results
Google ray tracing and dlss for more in depth explanations
One key point is it appears that both these techs are too demanding for the 20XX series. It’s more of a proof of concept for nowMS, Computer Science

I wouldn’t be picking it up until thermal/noise benchmarks come out. I go for the quietest/coolest non-AIO card always. Pc noise distracts the hell out of me and I use 2.1, not headphones
I slapped on an Arctic Accelero IV on my 1080 and never went above 50C full load . I originally got the founders edition and put on a kraken 360mm aio but the variable pump noise distracted the hell out of me.
Wasted a ton of money so this time around I’m not playing around with any self applications....might replace thermal paste with liquid metal but that’s itMS, Computer Science

That’s exactly the reasoning I’m looking into getting one. I have my pc in my living room off to the side and I could toggle between the tv and monitor depending on use
My end goal is to have a powerhouse pc powering my living room but I don’t even have a tv right now lmaoMS, Computer Science

I have 3770k and not even considering upgrading cpu/motherboard/ram until atleast next gen of intel CPU comes out next year. Supposed to have hardware fixes for spectre and that other backdoor. They atleast now have 6 core chips as mainstream.
I might get a 2070 if they have good black friday sales though.

I could probably do the CPU since I won't be changing that socket for a while. TR2 uses the same socket, so if I wanted to upgrade from my 1920x I could do so and not need a new CPU block. The GPU though.. I'm not sure if I'm going to bother with getting a 20 series card since Nvidia has lost their minds with the price, and there's no benchmarks yet that show how much faster they are for non-Ray Tracing games.
For just a CPU loop it'd probably be around $100 for the block, and maybe ~$200-250 for the pump, radiator, tubes and fittings I assume. I have a monitor up for sale on CL right now.. if that sells I may go ahead."That boulder is too large. I could lift a smaller one."

sometimes ya just gotta send it
not really happy with the current orientation of my monitors, but this Samsung CF791 has a horrible vesa mount, and rather than hack it up, I decided I'd go back to triple monitors
we'll see how it goes+++ Positive Crew +++
