Exactly. Trying to upgrade these computers that were built for average use would be useless. If the 3080 could even fit in the case, the power supply is not strong enough, and one you would need may not eve fit the case. Then the CPU is the big bottleneck and since the motherboard in that computer can not even accommodate a 8th gen Intel CPU, you would need to upgrade that. Just build a new PC but you should get at least a 2K gaming monitor if you do not have one, otherwise all of the power would go to waste.
That makes sense. Yeah I have a budget of around 1000-1500 for monitors so I'll be looking into those as well.

Good looks, repped.

‘PC Master Race’ is some cac shyt. The meme needs to die.

Take inspiration from Nazi Germany brehs.

Also, as sole solid general advice, wait to see what AMD brings to the table with their upcoming cards. Ampere’s architecture is inefficient and unbalanced. The door is open for AMD to surprise people.

i feel bad for those with the 2080ti. i said this 2-3 months ago. wait it out. theres gonna be a lot of these cards on ebay :pachaha:

Why?
For those who bought it who couldn't afford it - that's on them. :hubie:

I didn't sell mine (bought at launch) knowing it'd drop by at least 50% once the new card came out. Nvidia has always played scum and I appreciate their consistency.

Is there any downside in copping a founders edition vs 3rd party companies? Aiming for a 3080, hopefully I can get it

So how does purchasing these work? I imagine they are going to sell out fast right? Do I need to have the page open and click click click? Is it like copping Jordan's?

I didn't even think about my AIO loop interfering with the fan on top of the GPU. I hope there's enough clearance :patrice:
