Currently deciding if I should upgrade to a GSync monitor or just upgrade my GPU or both :snoop:

AMD is taking too long with Vega, I'd just go with that upgrade and save money on a Freesync joint :francis:

1050 Ti for $115

Is this a worthwhile upgrade over a 660?

I just want to play 1080p 60fps for most games.

Wasn't really looking to upgrade right now, but for that price I'm all in if it's worth it.

it's not gonna be that much of an upgrade. I think a 1060 would be much more significant

@daze23 do you have any games you can suggest that I get? I probably have most but if you can think of any please drop some on me. I got the new gen tomb raider and need to cop rise of the tomb raider as well but I'm having trouble thinking of other games.

My fukking liquid cooling is fukking up. The h100i V2 is supposed to last longer than this :beli:

I ran a simple passmark test and I got up to near 100c in a few tests (don't worry, I have the chip protection from intel).

fukking bullshyt :beli:

Edit: so I found 2 secret things in my case :dead:

I cleaned them, so I'm back at 24C idle.

I hope going to near 100C didn't fukk anything up with my PC. I know I have the intel protection plan, but I don't really wanna deal with the hassle, especially since I'm moving in August (yeah I always move...:manny:)

Yeah I started Prey, dope so far I just have so many games I keep switching though lol. I bought dishonored 2 without playing the first one and decided to start the first one because I could tell I was going to enjoy it, although I guess that partly ruins the first one in that I have an idea of how it ends. Player unknown, my game completely freezes when I'm parachuting down so I have to figure how to fix that.

Edit : I also bought Tomb raider and rise too

Dishonored 1/2 and Prey are all made by the same devs (Arkane). look into SGSSAA if you're playing the first Dishonored. you'll need Nvidia Inspector, but it makes that game look great

not sure what's wrong with PUBG. does it happen every time?

edit: BTW Dishonored 2 is based on one of the first game's endings. the first game's DLC were also good, and play into this

Cool I'll definitely look into that, oh snap I didn't know about the ending playing into the sequel that's awesome. And yeah it happens every pubg. It happens sometime during the parachuting in and I can typically still hear audio while the picture is frozen. I tried googling and i didn't see any quick fixes

I've never shown my little humble build. Aside from all the shyt that has been talked about AMD..its a decent build that has performed great IMO. Even with a GTX 970.. I really don't see any bottlenecks...I got that itch tho..and want to upgrade to a stronger cpu (fx-6300 is the current). I might stay AMD
