ahhh i see so thats more for rendering rigs and the such, guess ill just have to pray i can grab a 3080 at some point

to be honest im just looking for the res upgrade without sacrificing frames, i dont play most of the titles that support RT anyway. ill be saving up and building an amd rig in 2/3 years anyway, ill be going with whatever version of the current r7 5800x + radeon rx 6900 they bring out. at that...

@SpyderTracks hey i did some thinking and checked some benchmarks out and it looks like i can get similar performance to a 3080 if i combine 2 1080tis, considering 3080s are going for around 1.5k and 1080tis are about 400 and i already have one it seems crazy to not just sli. provided my specs...

now you mention it i seem to remember userbenchmark being the deciding factor when i got the 1080ti over the 1080... and have since learned that they too peddle nothing but hokum :LOL:

you should try the opera gx browser. i started using it after i BSOD (i had a stick of ram burn out and im 95% sure it was all chromes fault) its not as ram heavy and you can even limit cpu/ram usage

i read one review that basically claimed the 3080ti offered 3090 performance at half the cost lol. and others that were confused why the 3080ti even exists. theyre all nonsense at least there will always be forums like this for unbiased advise :)

sweet, i dont play too many huge AAA games so i can probably get a bigger case, slap in a 3080 and a bigger cooler and go straight up to 4k without too much frame loss... razor sharp and buttery smooth all at the same time here we come! now i just gotta get my hands on one of those cards eh? 😭

hmmmm... well considering my other concern was cpu overheating (i was originally suggested to get h100i v2 but it wouldnt fit in my case) i could always get a new case and upgrade the cooler while im at it, would be a tiny cost compared to the gpu/4k monitor. especially if i can save a few...

this is a pc specialist build, only the gpu and ram were aftermarket?

i really like the look of the pcs frostflow 120 liquid cooler and it fits my theme perfectly...but im worried it wont be enough for my planned i7 7700k gtx1080 build, i plan to use it for 4k gaming so temps are a fear :S if the pcs cooler isnt enough would the corsair h80i v2 hydro do it?

if i get a modular psu with my build will it come with all the extra cables or will i have to purchase some to add components myself later on?
