Is the CF791 just standard IPS? I forget.

Nah, it's VA too. Still the Acer looks pretty good, and the higher refresh + GSYNC is pretty nice.

[TurkBrah]

That build should cover all general needs and the card will drive most games you throw at it.
Imo that's a build you'd want to promote to console people although they still win on their console budgets. That ofc depends on the accessories and the monitors/tvs used.

Good to hear. My bro's main concern is runnin WoW on max settings.

I'm looking for 2 new monitors for work
Currently i'm rocking a 1080p 21in monitor and a 720p 19in monitor...

Any recommendations for 2 27in 1440p ips monitors? no gsync, no 144hz. just 27in, 1440p, ips. vesa compatible ideally

cheap noname brands are fine since it's not for gaming

or is a 40in cheap 4k monitor a better deal?

Hey boyos. I was thinking about building a new pc with a z370 board, i5-8600k and gtx 1070 but I'm holding on beacuse I've heard that by the end of the year intel and nvidia could release new components. What do you guys think: is that gonna happen?

This question always comes up when building PC's.

eventually there will always be newer and better components

I haven't kept up with stuff to see if the new lines are releasing yet this year, but I have always just built and will build when I need or want a new PC

Well? How did you find it in comparison? I don't think I could game on something that large, at normal desk viewing distances.

I'm digging the 4k, I forgot how much better that looks than 1440p lol.

But I don't miss 16:9 for FPS. I feel like I'm missing out on so much real estate.

100hz vs 60hz I still don't notice a difference.

It's gonna be hard for me to justify $1000 for the UHD430 when I can continue buying $500 34", 21:9, curved, 100hz, 1440p monitors all day.

Plus this CF791 with VA panel + QDot has spoiled me over these Korean IPS monitors. The colors just aren't there.

TL;DR

40" or 43" 4k = great for office, productivity, multi-tasking
34" curved = still GOAT for gaming

New Nvidia cards are being announced literally on the 20th this month. https://videocardz.com/77369/nvidia-...352-cuda-cores

RTX 2080Ti - 4352 CUDA cores, 11GB 14Gps GDDR6, 352Bit Bus, 616GB/s Bandwidth

RTX 2080 - 2944 CUDA cores, 8GB 14Gps GDDR6, 256Bit Bus, 448GB/s Bandwidth

[bartosh]

Depends on your budget.

You can get 27", 1440p, 60hz, IPS panels for around $150 each

You can get 43", 4k, 60hz, IPS panels for around $500 each

Here are some of the Korean 27":

Qnix 2710 - about $160 USD

https://www.ebay.com/itm/QNIX-QX2710...gAAOSw0QVbc0QF

Yamakasi Q270 - $175

https://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAKASI-CA...UAAOSwuExbVfPd

Yamakasi Q270 - $115

https://www.amazon.com/YAMAKASI-CATL...words=yamakasi
--------------------------------------

Between the two options, 2x 27" or 1x 43", I'd go with the 43".

Wasabi Mango U430 - $483 OBO

https://www.ebay.com/itm/WASABI-MANG...MAAOSwNuxXaiYJ

Thanks. I'd rather not get used so it looks like the wasabi mango u430 is the top choice so far

unfortunately it looks like my home monitor crapped out so i'll be needing to upgrade that first though =[

Made a thread about it. Couldn't figure out if it was my gpu or monitor or something else
-replaced my displayport cable. issue continued eventually
-lowered x34 overclock from 95hz to 80hz. issue stopped for a few days but returned
-removed gpu. issue stopped for a day but returned
-going to borrow a monitor from my friend and run it but as of now the issue HAS to be the monitor. otherwise it's some other component like dead power supply (would be way cheaper to fix)

such a hassle

Why would you recommend something so expensive :0

As soon as dat der RTX2080ti is out I'll have it in the mail.

Nice to hear, guess I'll be waiting for the release of the 2070. GPU prices are nuts in europe.

[mikeoc322]

If the RTX2080ti can take full advantage of the PG27UQ, I might have to get back into gaming ...

I highly doubt a single card will be able to push 4k 144hz in most modern games.

Where are you getting that for $500?

[MrJensenn]

Why would you recommend something so expensive :0

You said work
It's one of the best monitors (or monitor series) for work (and you didn't specify which work you do ).
They have a 3 year warranty on the panel for ANY pixel faults.

[PositiveCrew]

Where are you getting that for $500?

Looks like they ran out of stock, but these used to be $500 brand new, shipped to you.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Crossover-3...UAAOSwt5hYig30

I had 3 of them for awhile, but ended up selling them. 34" 100hz isn't really useful for second + third monitors.

Here's one of them for $425 used:

With all this pre-2080 info coming out, a lot of 1080tis are being dumped for $300-$400 each

might be time to build a new PC

[DualBandWiFi]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ge...ecs,37635.html

The $1000 listing for the PNY card posted everywhere is likely a placeholder. PNY's 1080Ti is substantially higher priced than all other vendors and even then its like $800-900.

[niktak11]

I'm thinking about downsizing my number of rigs. Anyone interested in a used MSI Duke 1080 or an Asus "Dual" 1070 for $400 and $300 shipped CONUS? I have some more I might list if I can find the packaging.

[SkinnyBeast24]

Thoughts on this pre-build? I have never owned a gaming PC before. I have only run on low settings on ****ty laptops my whole life but finally have a good jerb to warrant such a purchase.

Is this good?

It's not horrible, but it's not awesome either.

Here is a list of the parts if you buy them separately. Keep in mind I don't have their keyboard, mouse and case included. That there can cost close to $200. Also I used a different SSD (better one) and a different PSU.

For a pre-build PC, do you think that is one of the better deals out there though? I just want to order something that is built between 1100-1500 that can last me a long ****ing time and can play games on the highest settings with possible streaming.

lol you prob waited to long lmao. you can buy new 1080 for less than 400 already and were probably getting 1080ti performance for $400ish today with 2070. ripp

he could even save about $100 bucks on the gpu now too.

Its not one of the better deals out their tbh. also new gen GPU's are announced/released today so you should wait for prebuilts with last gen gpus to go down in price.

Alright, I'll stay updated in this thread. I'm willing to wait 1-3 months before I spend some dough. I just want a pre-built monster that is going to last me for years and won't turn my house on fire.

Any reason why you want a prebuilt and not build it yourself? It's really easy man. A lot of us here can even walk you through the steps of building it and will answer any of your questions. You can easily save $200 from building your own. Also do you have a monitor?

I got this for when I was playing Cod on my xbox one --> would this suffice for a pc desktop? https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-24-Inch-.../dp/B007HSKSMI

I just don't trust myself handling very expensive pieces and don't want to **** anything up. Lots of people are saying pre-builds are worth it right now with how expensive certain parts are because of mining (w/e the **** that is). I don't mind overpaying 100 dollars to get the thing already built.

I was also looking at this for a more budget friendly choice and then I could always upgrade pieces later on?

https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-...ct_top?ie=UTF8

For right now,

I just need something that I can play WoW on, minor video editing, and something my wife can use for teaching (making power point and other **** like that).

Mining isnt really a factor anymore for gpu prices tbh.
of course the monitor will work but if your getting a decent gaming PC. most would either recommend a 1080p 144hz + or a 1440p 100 hz+ monitor. that pc isnt bad as well but you might be paying a higher percent premium tbh. the gpu and cpu are about $400, mobo should be like 50ish, ram $80-100, drive at most $40. that case is like $25 bucks, i have three of them. so your spending about $200 premium on that pc give or take. of course you have to factor in the 1 year warranty but still.

[DualBandWiFi]

Fuuaaark these prices are sky high. There goes my hope getting an RTX card or a cheap 1080/Ti.

Edit: Corrected prices.

RTX 2070 - $499 USD

RTX 2080 - $699 USD

RTX 2080 Ti - $999 USD

[bartosh]

Apple set a precedent in showing that general consumers will pay top dollar for things. Nvidia is following suit now

[iWantToGrow]

Lmao @ that moment when the chat went nuts thinking the 2080ti was going for 499 D

[bartosh]

2070 = $500
2080 = $700
2080 Ti = $1000

"Leaks rumours of $1200 price point. People rightly claim that paying over $1000 is too much. Card is announced at $999 and wallets are reluctantly opened by people who have previously never paid over $700 for a card."

Sounds about right

[bartosh]

Lmfao, sold out already, and rightly so. They were smart in working with AAA developers to incorporate the new tech into games launching now.

Agreed. What I want to see most is benchmarks of games without ray tracing ie most games for the next year or two before RT becomes standard. games that won't take advantage of the turing tech

Hypothetical example:

Cyberpunk 2077 supports RT
1080ti performance: 4k 35fps average
2080ti performance: 4k 80fps average

Anthem doesn't support RT
1080ti performance: 4k 35fps average
2080ti performance: 4k 50fps average

[bartosh]

Yup. The partner cards are more than likely going to cost $1100-1300, but I'm honestly not upset about that at all. Assuming the benchmarks fall in line with the information given today, the performance and tech leap justify the hike imo, and I will pay the premium.

The question is are we getting the Acer x35 when it comes out...

I was planning on waiting until 4k ultrawide 100hz+ was out but that itch is growing
