47% performance increase for a 70+% price premium?47% increase. And everybody thought the new 20xx cards were not going to be worth the upgrade
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 Official Gaming Benchmarks Leaked - 47% Faster Than 1080 Ti
I'll be having fun with this shyt in a few weeks
47% performance increase for a 70+% price premium?
The 2080ti is basically the Titan now. The Titan X (Pascal) costs $1200 too, so it's not really that crazy to me
They should have called it that then. Nvidia is on extra fukk shyt right now.

I was just playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider. SLI works and the game looks and runs amazingly 
Finally upgraded my mouse, went from a G502 to a G703 and this shyt is 
Really wanted an UL Phantom, it looked like it would fit my hands a little better than the G703 but the resale price was too much to find out.
Heard they restocking the UL Pro with the new cord they have on the Phantom in November or something so I might cop one then.
I'm enjoying the wireless tho, not using the power play yet, don't think it will even fit on my current desk that well.

I think I’m going to build a water cooled system with a Cougar Conqueror case.
@MMA Mo and @LurkerLost1 what should I buy to do this properly? I’m open to anything and everything. I have a 7900x CPU and 2 2080tis coming soon that I want to use. Everything else I’ll upgrade and buy new. I’m looking to make it all SSD, and my budget is $4K.
If you had $4,000 to play with, what would you buy? That $4K is for everything besides the CPU and GPUs. So, $4K for everything else
Edit:
So, I was looking around, and these components caught my attention:
Corsair AX1200i ($299)
ASUS ROG RAMPAGE VI Extreme ($634.97)
G.SKILL TridentAZ RGP Series 32gb ($494.98)
Cougar Conquer ATX Gaming Case ($299)
Samsung 860 Evo 4tb SSD ($797.99)
That's $2526.93, so I have ~$1470 left

I need a hobby, and I've always wanted to liquid cool GPUs. With that case, I'm gonna get everything rgb'd. Even my fukking ram is gonna light up
@Ciggavelli EKWB - Custom Loop Configurator
Here's a likely build you can buy but don't include the fans - those are soft tubes, you can buy hard if you want, just an example
