i'm going with VA panel next. gonna try that out. this one was my first IPS and I have bad luck lol. maybe fate wants me to try VA

[J1n]

they should, I know most of the Korean monitors do.

my older 40" doesn't though



debatable if that's a downside :P

haven't been a fan of either of them, and if the manufacturers don't think those modes add $500 in value, I don't see why consumers would XD

Those Korean monitors are so much cheaper cause its some no name brand with 0 warranty. You have to gamble on getting a good panel with no dead pixels. Those korean ebay monitors arent even easy to find in Korea. If you go to a electronic store in South Korea, you wont see those ebay monitors being sold there.

Freesync is open source and costs nothing. Gsync adds about $200 to the monitor price. And this tech makes frames way smoother. i dont think its debatable. its objectively better with this tech in the monitor.

hnnnng dat joocy C70

idk if I just have good luck, but I've never had a dead pixel on a single Korean monitor.

Meanwhile I've returned 4 Acer panels, 2 Samsung CF, etc, in just the last year.

buying through eBay is also a lot easier to return monitors if you do happen to get dead pixels. waaayy better than dealing with the manufacturer.

nope it was ****ed. idk what the screen is called behind the first layer, i guess the digitzer, it was cracked in half pretty much. that's interesting cause i knocked my tn panel like 100 times over the past 8 years or so and it still looks brand new

You do know a 1080ti performs better than the 2080 in 90% of games, right?

https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreview...vs-gtx-1080-ti


Whether the difference is worth the price increase is definitely debatable, but the distance between the two cards will only grow in time as games start patching in DLSS.

I love how benchmarks from different people always have a different outcome. Ones I saw had the 1080ti out performing the 2080 in most games. Though DLSS won't be out for a good bit. Once it is adapted in all games it will matter. By then they will already have the next gen cards out. I won't be upgrading till they have a card that is 55%+ more than the 1080ti when overclocked.

[eXistenceLies]

The second link I posted from Gamer Nexus, who is very critical of Nvidia, also showed stock and OCed numbers, and the 2080 still beat out the 1080ti. Of course, if you already have a 1080Ti, there's no reason to upgrade to a 2080, and the only reason to upgrade to a 2080Ti is for those res/fps chasers, imo.

Yea I can't click on gaming websites here at work. Of course, anyone who upgrades to a 2080 from a ti is dumb and you are losing money.

[MrJensenn]

Also saw a review that had the 2080 on par with the 1080 ti.









Directx 12 and 11. It's the Sweclockers performance index. It's a reputable site.

Yo 15% off ebay sitewide again bros! get your juicy deals on monitors and gpus while you can!!

[JamesA1990]

Pretty sick deal. HP Ultrawide 1440p 100ghz gsync $699

[Fivefootkillerz]

Thoughts on this deal?

ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX w/ Free copy of Black Ops 4

I was planning on upgrading my RX480 to a standard GTX 1080 but I was going to wait till Black Friday to see if I could get one below $400.

But since I was planning on buying black ops 4 anyway this pretty much makes the ROG STRIX $470.

Is this a good deal or should I hold out a few more months? And is the performance of the ROG STRIX 1080 that much better than the standard 1080?

No! you literally missed out on $400 and below 1080s and $320+ 1070tis yesterday. $530 + tax in Jersey no way that's worth it. I think in the current market you might as well pick up a used 1080ti for that amount of money or a used 1080 and save yourself some money. Or wait for deals like yesterdays eBay sale

[PositiveCrew]

^that

will not pay over $300 for a 1080, or $400 for a 1080ti in this market

[somfking]

have had gaming computer for quite some time now but i've never been big into all the parts and stuff. what is an easy way to find out what is the most outdated piece so i can start slowly upgrading?

this! but it sounds like if your pc is that old, you wont really be able to "upgrade" piece by piece unless its just maybe a gpu upgrade and maybe add an sdd.

what's the damage brothers? also would love some suggestions on what to get since i don't know much. I don't need anything crazy, just want to be able to run games smoothly on higher settings and have them load faster

You need an SSD. That will make everything you do in Windows faster and will greatly improve load times. As far as framerate/graphics are concerned, your GTX 1060 should handle everything you throw at it at 1080p 60hz. If you really want an upgrade there, start with the display.

[Fivefootkillerz]

Thanks for the heads up. Yea I’m on vacation and I totally missed the eBay sale. Pretty bummed about that.

How often do they do the 15% off? I heard they do 20% off sometimes too

I wanted to upgrade my gpu and monitor so I can start gaming in 1440p @144hz but with these prices looks like I’m going to have to stay at 1080p and just upgrade to a 144hz monitor

15% happens pretty regular tbh. 20% only happened once.

1440p monitor are getting real cost effective as well tons of deals to be had.

Your computer looks decent as is. Note that you should be able to overclock the CPU quite a bit. If you wanted some obvious upgrades: SSD (use current HDD as storage), 16GB of RAM, then if desired, maybe 1070ti or better.

I agree with these fellas an sad for your boot drive and maybe your most played games will change your experience. Your cup is still a beastly gamer. But you could overclock it for a few extra frames if not already. 1060 is decent but it's the perfect time to to upgrade your gpu.

Also I'm not sure if speccy actually shows your real ram speed but you know you have to change the xmp profile in the bios to get the stated speed of 1366 or 1600 w/e you have

[KilaByte]

^Agreed on what's been said, your PC is not bad at all tbh.

The SSD is the night and day upgrade. You can make a 10 year old laptop snappy by installing an SSD.

You can definitely take that CPU to 4GHhz+ in 1 minute but I would get an inexpensive aftermarket cooler if you're using the stock one. Something like a Cooler Master 212 and such (It will be much quieter too if you care)

Other than that your GPU is ok for 1080p, but if you upgrade to a 1440 monitor it will start struggling

[somfking]

what is this overclocking you guys are talking about? no clue what that is lmao. and from your guys' advice definitely gonna get an SSD especially cause i looked and they're pretty inexpensive. thanks boyos!

also another issue I have is that (using fortnite as an example, but happens with all games), when I first start my computer it'll start up and load very quickly and run perfectly, but if I don't shut my PC down for a couple days it starts loading slower and slower to the point where buildings aren't even rendered when I land until I reset my PC, then it's back to normal
