Vapes, I can confirm that my 2700x can run Quake Champions at Ultra settings with a 115 fov at 90-110 fps in 1440p while streaming to twitch at 6,000 kbs bitrate using software encoding at medium preset at 900p, 30 fps. No perceivable performance impact at those settings but I haven't tried it in a possibly more cpu intensive game like FH4.
By Adam Go To PostI see you have me on ignore huh…I am blind. I apologize. Just bought it earlier today, hope to finish the whole build by Friday.

Was about to cry.
Heard this rattling from my PC and was thinking about rmaing my new GPU....
Turns out it was one of my cpu cooler fans.

By Doncicic Go To Posttfw you install your new 2080ti, boot up the latest game, max it out, look at it and be likeNot an uncommon feeling, I reckon. RTX stuff can't come soon enough, even in rudimentary and half-assed form.
meh
:(
By Kibner Go To Post*nods*For me currently, it’s just a matter of wanting the very best hardware since I’m in the position to afford it and have never been able to in the past. Basically, I’m building the dream.

i just miss being wowed. maybe i need to be a console peasant for a year or two and then come back.
Great, BattlEye fucks up SpeedFan, making it unusable. I can't fucking win.
Trying Argus Monitor. Looking good so far.

Combination of a new job earlier in the year, a pay rise and low outgoings until next year. Making the most of it while I can.
Can’t say I didn’t get cold feet when comparing the performance difference between the 2700X/8700K, and I’m basing expected 9900K performance on the 8700K, but after spending so much on the 2080Ti I want squeeze every ounce of performance I can out of it.
By Smokey Go To PostThe combination of getting max settings and IQ at 4k60fps+ with HDR was enough to wow me tbh
I still need a good enough monitor to fully appreciate my 2080Ti. 1080p/144hz has been a dream but it just doesn’t cut it for me now.
its ok i got you a new dream

By rerixo Go To Postits ok i got you a new dreamI’d go for that even at 60hz if it were a £1000 instead of £1500. Hard justify that price for a 60hz screen not matter how classy it looks.

In general I’m struggling to decide on what monitor to commit to at the moment, I kinda want to go for an Acer X27/XB3, but I’m interested in ultra wides and the 1440p/120hz panels seem like a steal since the prices have started dropping for them. Only issue is I use my monitor for the Switch too and I’d hate having black bars on each side of the screen.
yeah I'm pretty much in the same spot actually, still on a 60hz 1080p monitor lmao. pretty torn between an ultrawide like the x34p, or a dual 27" 1440p monitor setup... I rarely play on consoles, and prefer the switch in handheld mode anyway, so I'm leaning towards the x34p. Will see what deals pop up on black friday.
Eh, looks cool and all, but 32:9 is seriously overkill for gaming. Might do it for some games, if viewed from further away, otherwise ... From the reviews of the Samsung one it doesn't really seem to work that well. You don't necessarily have to use all that real estate, of course, but still.
38" 21:9 144hz HDR 4K equivalent is the real dream.

It's not perfect but I think it looks better. Had to replace a fan so figured why not...

you think your 34" is a little too small? or just after 38" because of the resolution increase?

I’m all about the split screen and local multiplayer for the Switch. I’ve seen some ultrawides have the option to scale 16:9 content out to 21:9 (stretched), and from what I’ve seen of Switch games running in stretched 21:9, it looks pretty fucking good to me.
Finding an exact ultrawide that’s gsync/120hz and has the option to scale 16:9 though is a struggle. Not a lot of information out there for it from what I’ve been seeing.
i got a signed gamersnexus poster (wasn't any extra), it's literally the only "signed" thing i have had lol
By rerixo Go To Postyeah this is the real dreamNo, 34" is by no means too small, but you know how it is. 38" wouldn't be too big. :)

I wish. Just got it shipped
he wrote "well that was awkward" on it, but i honestly cant remember what he is referencing.

Yeah haha you guys inspired me.
Still not doing a lot of RGB doe.

Just finished switching out my 4 TB with a 2 TB one. Giving the 4 TB to my sister for her main HDD. Pictures of the completed build/inside on Friday/Saturday.
I am so sleepy.

By Adam Go To PostYeah haha you guys inspired me.I’ve got an appalling lack of RGB on the go currently. GPU has a none visible RGB logo on the top of the card, motherboard has RGB on the side that barely refracts to the outside of the case and my keyboard is set to white back lighting.
Still not doing a lot of RGB doe.
I’m preferring the more subdued look to it all.
ok this is a disaster
my 1080ti arrived but everything just crashes
does this mean it's fucked?
actually nier was fine
and FurMark scored what I expected
but Unigine Heaven just crashes instantly? I thought maybe it was just directx related but unigine crashes with every setting (crashes instantly after loading, or maybe doesn't even finish loading?)
Pretty much every other game crashes too... including CEmu... not sure what tests to run, I've tried reinstalling everything other than windows but I really don't wanna deal with that unless I have to

yeah but I didn't do it in safe mode, I guess I'll try that next
edit: nope
i'm out of ideas, gonna test it on another rig tomorrow
edit: i got some sort of weeb gpu i can only run japanese games (dark souils 3 works fine)
edit: tried unigine on linux still failed. plugged in my 960 everythin working perfectly. i give up. returning it.

Somebody mentioned a PLX chip at work today and that triggered a memory. I couldn't remember if I had a GTX 590 or 690. Searched around and yep, I did have e a GTX 690, nvidias dual GPU on a single card . Beautiful card. Paid $1,000 for it. Back in 2012 m8s.
I paid hilarious money for a Voodoo 2 when they just released.
Card was so ahead of it's time and so obsolete so quickly it's crazy.
