Ok, I’m actually a bit worried about @MMA Mo. He hasn’t been on since mid-March, and he used to post daily. I hope he’s okay :patrice:
Oh damn. Hopefully just some minor life stuff...

@MMA Mo you alive, breh? :lupe:
You all might think I'm crazy, but I'm contemplating building an all AMD PC to accompany this monitor:

SamsungC49RG9 49

:jbhmm:
This is why I think everyone should have at least one off-line contact on here. shyt happens man...and personally, I would want people to know if I checked out.

I’m fine just spending a lot time traveling for business and when I’m not in work mode - staying offline enjoying other things than forums, social media etc. Good way to reconstruct the way and time I spend online.

I’ll be back once my weeks aren’t filled with paperwork, airports and hotels.

Wait for Ryzen 3, it’s right around the corner @Ciggavelli - Its the monitor to get. I’d put it in another room with a different setup if I were you. I want to setup the c49r with asus or Acer 43 120-144hz inch monitor on top has a bedroom setup. Use the c49r for normal and some gaming, use the 43inchhas a TV + gaming.

@Duke Dixon wait for Ryzen 3, it’s coming soon

Anybody try ray tracing on the older Pascal GPUs?
no (I have a 980ti), but the performance is supposed to be pretty bad

My PC has:
  • Asus Strix GTX1070
  • Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.2 GHz
  • 8×2GB RAM
  • Asus Strix ROG Z270F
  • 250GB SSD for C:
  • Liquid Cooling
  • 1920×1080 monitor
I don't play online so I just need my PC to play FPS like Call of Duty and Battlefield or Strategy games like Total War at highest graphic setting. Should I upgrade my GPU or CPU with newest model or should I wait for future model?
