Is it worth it to buy the Asus scar III, when the Scar II rtx 2070 is on sale for cheaper and similar specs?

Brehs I got a 970 EVO 500GB but I'm thinking of also copping this

Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe

Yall think its worth it or should just go with a regular SSD?

RDR2 is restoring the ‘13 and ‘14 feeling. In the worst way possible. :beli:

The game won’t even go past the logo screen, which just runs on an infinite loop :beli:

I download the new drivers, the new patch...nothing. The fukking game won’t run. I can’t even run the benchmark :beli:

I thought we were past this. Most other games run with no problem. I haven’t had a problem with a game in like 2 years. RDR2 comes out and I remember how fukking frustrating pc gaming can be. Goddamn it:snoop:

Are you still having issues with the RDR2 PC version? GreenManGaming has the standard edition of RDR2 for $44 but I don't know if its worth the price if there are still issues with the game.

Yes, I am unfortunately. I just tried the latest game build with the latest nvidia driver, and the exact same problems are occurring. It's pissing me off. Not everybody has the issues though, so I guess it's just a gamble when you buy it

Damn that sucks.

The steam release comes out on Dec 5 but I read the rockstar launcher still opens along with steam.

I'm just going to wait and buy the game at a discount sometime next year. Hopefully the game's issues will be fixed.

Get a Ryzen 3600 and x570, 3600mhz speed ram, use a cheaper ssd (plenty of possibles now), buy a base rtx 2070 super or rtx 2060 super

Thank you to AMD! 18 core intel chip for 1000 dollars :wow:
Now apply this pressure to Nvidia, creating a new standard so the consumer aren’t being cheated with garbage upgrades/price fixing

Which 570x motherboard were you referring to?

Cyper Monday is coming and I'm getting some of this stuff. I've been putting off the build. It's been a long time since I did one so I'm little nervous about pulling it off:
