@PoorAndDangerous I went to a Herman Miller dealer yesterday and tried out their Embody seats for a solid 30 minutes. Pulled the trigger on purchasing the Logitech chair online because the overall look is dope and 12 year warranty sold me.

Now I gotta sit through this 4-week shipping wait

Bruh it’s life changing lol you’ll be glad you splurged on it once you’re using it every day. So far most of my friends have just made fun of me for spending so much money on a chair. I haven’t had any of them try it yet to change their tune. It’s difficult to describe how it feels and why it’s so much better. Another advantage of the Logitech joint is that it’s preassembled.

Nvidia will release the 3080 and 3090 together and then release the 3080ti when big Navi comes out.

when do you guys expect big Navi to release?

 

[nyknick]

Since everyone is upgrading, anybody got a complete build they want to sell?

I'm waiting for new Ryzen processors but family needs computer for school/office work

Decided to buy a new mobo and covert my PC from water cooling to air cooling. I never knew how much of a pain in the ass water cooling brackets around the CPU was.
The new mobo is clean af and now my PC runs a lot more cooler.
Gonna add another fan to the other side of the cpu cooler and back to gaming at low temps.

 

[ChatGPT-5]

I hope you got your sag bracket

I hear people crying as they now have to buy new cases lol. the rtx 2080 is already a big ass card, now they just go and add a jumbo jet lol

Haven’t the ti versions been like close to a year after the x80 versions (obviously not this gen, but before that).

I think they’ll try to have people buy the 3080 and then like 10 months later buy the 3080ti. If the new 3090 is Titan grade, the hardcore will buy that instead of waiting until next year to cop a 3080ti with similar performance at like a 30-40% decrease in price

Not yet, but the plan is to start again with CyberPunk 2077. I absolutely loved the witcher 3, so I’m expecting Cyberpunk to be amazing.

I’ll then upgrade the rest of my components too, because my shyt is all custom hard tubing, and it’s a bytch to take apart and put back together again. So, I’m gonna try to do it all at once. I’m probably gonna get an AMD cpu for the first time ever too

I know it’s silent tho.

I think I’m on the same shyt finally planning on trying out Ryzen once the ti releases, so new MOBO, probably bigger PSU, and I can’t install a new MOBO without adding more storage, probably gonna need a bigger case. I’m also definitely gonna need to upgrade gsync to 4k....


Take your time NV

I assumed that’s why they are launching so early. They’d launch the ti a few months later when amd drops.

this will be fun to watch, I expect nvidia to hold the performance crown. Maybe we will get 8k gaming

AMD* bowed out of high end GPU performance after nikkas ignored the 290 they go for high performance:price first on the GPU side now.

Once they went that route their GPUs were dead to me, but I understood where they were coming from.

Just wish NV didn’t have free reign in the high end market

Yeah we’ll see it sounds promising but I’m in agreement with you.

I listed my GTX 1070 on eBay for $175 and it sold a couple hours later. I knew no one would be paying over $200 for it at this point. I just am waiting for the price of the 3060 or 70 to jump ship.

$1500
