I’m gonna wait and see what that eventual 4090 Ti is looking like next year. Intel should have the 13900KS by that time as well.
hopefully they throw dp 2.1 on it. 1.4 is not cool for a card that can take full advantage of 2.1 especially with those 2.1 monitors coming out next year

Breh my coworker just came to work and gave me a RTX 3060, RTX 2060, and an Intel I5 8600K that he was going to throw out. He told me about it a few days ago and I told him to give me that shyt. To THROW OUT are you kidding me? LOL

He claims his brother said that the GPU has thermal issues but I can always check that or fix it if needed. I didn't even know about the RTX 2060, dude just had that as extra.

To be honest, the guy is a little slow but that's beside the point. Can't wait to get home and test them!

Bought two 2TB Samsung 980 pro nvme SSDs off Amazon for 179 a pop. They usually go for 379. Guess the 990 and Black Friday deals helped out on that price. Just need a case and a liquid cooler and I can start my new build :blessed:
I just copped one for my PS5. I'm tempted to get the 990 for my new build (I have 2 980 2tbs in it currently). I'll probably hold off for the 4tb 990 though next year

Just bought a prebuilt going from a GTX1070 to RTX3060 should be here Sunday. I know its not a super huge improvement but an upgrade. I'll keep this new one for a few years and then the next one I do will definitely build a new one.

You gotta do a come up shuffle off the strength of that. I'm legit jealous. I just did a comparison between my 1070 ti and the 3060 and they seem to be on par with each other. :leon:

Holy shyt the 4080 is a monster. My bragging ass friend just came through with it and plopped this huge ass box on the floor like "yo test this out "

Couldn't though as for some reason I didn't have a third power connector for the card from my PSU.
This is it in my case

This is my friend's setup. shyt is mounted on the wall and water-cooled. Insane.

I'm waiting for the auction I have on Ebay for the 3060 I got for free to end and use that along with my warranty refund of my current card (3060 ti) and cop possibly a 3090 as I saw an open box for $899. If not then a 3080 Ti.

I think it's time to upgrade from my 2060. Is the jump to the 3080 worth it? I don't care about refresh rates beyond 60, I just want to future proof for 4K.
