Lol, you're too much dude

Even if I had a 2080Ti, Gsync is a whole different argument

i just find it hillarious that ppl like you buy high hz monitors you cant even use

but muh gsync

Once you go to it, in games like CS, you truly can't live without it

And guess what, I get way over my refresh rate on CS

And the difference is spectacular

congrats on getting 165hz in a 20 year old game

<:GWfroggyBlobSweat:398569211242479627>

I bought my monitor after I already had the card

Also I mean GO

source is still running on quake engine

and I didn't have the money to buy a new card and at this rate, this late and nearing new card releases, I'm just waiting and enjoying what I have

I got my monitor like august

And had my card since December 2016

buying a second 1070 is a bigger brained move than buying a single 2080ti

But the 1070 is too expensive right now

they will prob outperform the 2x cards

They will definitely outperform the 2x cards

That's why I'm waiting rather than spending money on another of the same card

I've done SLI before rather than wait and I won't make that financial mistake again l

the card market is dead either way

the best option is getting a prebuilt now

Until new releases

And I have everything else in my rig pretty set so I don't have a need for a new PC.

Anyways, I have to take a shower

Nice and also terrible talking to you

Goodbye

anyway my point was sli is the only real way to achieve high hz/4k

enjoy the angry shower <:GWjiangoPepeFedora:389447036329656323>

1080Ti versus 1070SLI

980ti sli beats 1080ti

1080T is more practical

The 980Ti is in some cases better than the 1070

But then you're limited to 6gb of vram

And much more power draw, like WAY more

400w easily under load

Or more

From just the cards

And the performance is only a little better, but some games with no SLI support or trashy optimization it's just back to not being worth it.

Especially for cost

So single best card every time

If it just comes out and you want more, then SLI the best card

Simple

Cya

:p

980 Ti in SLI beats 1080 Ti in synthetic benchmarks, you mean

in real games, like GTA V, Crysis 3, PUBG, etc. are a different story

Synthetic benchmarks show the 980 Ti in SLI beating one 1080 Ti, simply because synthetics have perfect scaling of GPUs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb4nYvWllyg

depends on settings :^)

I mean, I don't doubt the 980Ti's in SLI on a well optimized SLI supporting game won't outperform a 1080Ti, because they likely will, but the inconveniences of SLI outweigh the benefit unless you already have a flash shop card and "need" more performance...

alright

sorry for late replying but this sounds good

so what i got from this was that

yo @Bearchoyboi don't SLI, get best single card for 2k 144Hz monitor

ok

1080ti or wait for volta

and get a 2k 144hz/165hz IPS GSYNC monitor'

best experience by far

eh

165 hertz kinda hurts my brain with the fluidity lol

expensive though

trust me, it's so good

especially with GSYNC

alright

well i have 30 days to decide to upgrade to 1080ti

if it hurts your head and you're ok with gsync off, monitors like mine "Acer XB271HU" you can use ULMB

i just returned my 1050 ti and bought a 1070 from micro center and their return policy is great

ultra low motion blur, may help with seeing things while moving and maybe making you less sick

yeah

how much?

from what I hear, micro center is awesome. I don't have any in my area though.

dang feelsbadman

how do you get your tech?

newegg or frys

like $700 for my monitor'

$700 isnt bad for the experience you describe

I do newegg, Amazon and occasionally best buy

lmao best buy

don't listen to dont ping me on the gsync issue, he doesn;t even know what it is

lol

it will change your gaming experience a lot

ok

best buy has price match and sometimes carry things like samsung evo and pro ssd's in store so you can get them right away

i mean the only games i play are league, overwatch, tw3, and pubg

not sure if i need that much fluidity

it's not just fluidity, with GSYNC you have even frametimes which means the amount of time between each frame being displayed isn't sporadic. It also 100% eliminates screen tearing which exists with every monitor. Sometimes you won't notice you have it simply because your eye isn't used to not having it

it also makes lower framerates MUCH more bearable

yeah

what gpu setup do you have

so with my monitor, unless you're shipped/buy a defective one will get incredibly good color accuracy for anything without quantum dot/oled, 165hz, ULMB, GSYNC and an IPS display

I have a GTX 1070, am waiting for GTX 2080Ti before next upgrade

I don't intend on wasting money unless I know my next purchase will hold me off for a good while

nice

2080ti jesus

thats gonna cost a lot

also SLI has downsides like many games have no support for it so only one of the cards will do any rendering, and the games that ARE optimized for it are often poorly so

I've had it in the past

ok

but if i got it would i need watercooling

The cost of 2x1070's versus 1080Ti and the pros and cons of both, 1080Ti, or volta card is best option

no, you wouldn't

alright

yeah

i might return my 1070 buy 1080ti founders edition and overclock the shit out of it

the only thing I recommend watercooling for is the CPU, that's basically a requirement

well if im already buying the watercooling infrastructure for cpu i may as well also do gpu right>

matter of fact, if you need PC hardware help, you can message me personally if you want a relatively quick response and are looking for somebody with experience and knowledge

alright sounds good

most people use AIO watercooling for the CPU, where you mount a radiator for the CPU only with flexible tubing

ah

is maintenance hard

there is no performance advantage with custom watercooling, the BTU transfer of the radiators are the same, and the oumo on AIO's is slightly overrated on BTU for quality assurance

and there is practically no maintenance for AIO watercooling

nice

how much does it cost

youve been typing for quite a while señor

If you aren't going to constantly OC your CPU relatively far with noticeably higher than stock voltages, then you'll probably do good with a 120mm/140mm radiator those can be as cheap as $60 and as much as $90. If you want more surface space to keep the CPU unnecessarily cooler or want to try for more drastic OC which requires much higher jumps in voltage per small increase in frequency for maintaining stability, then you're going to want a minimum of a 240mm radiator, which is 240x120mm meaning it takes 2x120mm fans if your case has a place to support that. Higher voltage (especially beyond a certain point depending on individual model and pin size) is going to reduce the longevity of the CPU, even if you keep it cooler, and if going on the very edge of safe voltages and max stable frequency at those voltages, you can degrade the CPU enough within months of use depending on how much your computer is on every day to where you need to step down the frequency at that same voltage to maintain stability. This is why I don't recommend going extreme, but going between boost and extreme is relatively the most practical point if you're gonna cool with a higher BTU rad. 280mm rads are 280x140 if your case can support that on the top (preferably). What is your CPU and what are your intentions?

i7 7700k

what fan expandabilitydo you have in the top of your case?

none

i have a mid tower corsair

send me a link to the case

think its this one

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/CC-9011107-WW

no

its not that

https://www.lelong.com.my/corsair-carbide-spec-omega-mid-tower-atx-case-black-red-brightstaronline-F349670-2007-01-Sale-I.htm

this one

btw, the i7 7700k is very efficient and can overclock to a pretty decent clock (for most) without excessive voltage, so if you tweak your CPU to run the highest stable frequency at 1.3-1.35V you'll get the most out of your CPU long-term

alright

how do you overclock cpu?

1.35 over 1.3 will have a slightly higher degradation rate, but the benefit may be as much as .2ghz more stable which is a lot in long-term

is it like gpu where all you have to do is download afterburner

you have to overclock through BIOS, I can walk you throught hat after you already ahv ethe new cooler

ok

I don't recommend OS OC for cpu as much

ok

is the $60-$90 radiator absolutely necessary

the whole AIO is that cost

tubing, rad and pump all in one piece

oh

also I found out the front of your case will accept a 360mm aio

3x120

you dont need water cooling. just install an intake and outtake fans and you should be good.

dont listen to these fags

so I recommend doing a intake fan in the bottom front, with the top 2 as out with a 240mm aio, and the bottom case fan if there is a slot for one as an out with the fan on the back as intake, so you can minimize dust and sustain decent pressure

@SchloppyDoggo we're talking about CPU lol

lol

he could do a 212evo, but for his use it isn't practical

get an i7 4.2ghz with the turbo option

die

he has a 7700k

amd nigras btfo

nice bait retard

im fucking with you all

im running a celeron with integrated graphics

i run minecraft at 3 fps

every day i want to kill myself when i see a little child holding a flip phone with a better processor than me

lies

hOw dID YoU fiND oUT?

you're mom gei?

your granny tranny

http://i.imgur.com/PNYk87q.jpg

well

in runescape level 95 was half the way to 100

LOL

gay

It is 92

note that replacing CPU cooler requires thermal paste

I recommend Arctic Silver 5 paste

very viscous, long lasting and best thermal transfer compound on the market

especially if you intend on frequently/constantly running high temps/high load

brb

alright

well

im not like mining BITCOIN on it

haha

i might just do regular paste

imma blast too laters

arctic silver 5 is cheap, I recommend it for any rig

it's almost just as cheap as any other paste

if anybodys got a copy of halo CE hmu

tryna get the full version without buyin some sus amazon bs

@Bearchoyboi

hey

I was just saying that tis' cheap

lol

ok

you can't get it on PC Jimbo

@crusadͧ͛̍͆̏͒e

wait what

it's on PC now?

I WANT IT

but is there multiplayer

who the fuck listens to bob dylan

@Wayne

UHH ME

FUCKING GAY RETARD

lol

why wouldn't you listen to bob dylan

he's awesome

halo 2 on pc never had multiplayer, but there is a mod for it that has multi, idk about ce mod/original multi

you really still recommending ppl buy 1440p 60hz+ monitors to run on a single card when we established even a 1080ti cant properly utilize them?

😠

the performance of 2x1070's isn't practical, if he's gonna SLI he might as well spend the money for 2x1080ti's

if you dont want sli then stick with 1080p or 60hz

a single card cant run high refreshrate past 1080p

it costs ore for 2x1070's more to run them, not all games support SLI, not all games have good SLI optimization and that is a heavy considering factor

also even on well optimized SLI supporting games, you don't get a great advantage from 1070 SLI< so he might as well get a 1080Ti, and if he really finds it insufficient, then he can SLI that.

this isnt an argument about sli its an argument about what you're spending your money on

a 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate is worthless on a single card

I run 1440p 165hz gsync monitor with 1x1070, I have not complained, if I really didn't think that I was getting good enough framerate witht he 1070, instead of investing ina $3500 acoustic guitar, I would have bought a 1080ti after reselling my 1070, lol

unless all you play is csgo then its good

but you also have to consider it from how I saw it

I knew that in the LONG TERM I wanted a 2k 120hz+ monitor with gsync, but already ahd the 1070

why are you niggas so hung up on 1440p <:GWragTbhfam:390321741525942272>

I can live comfortably with the 1070 for now, so I will wait for 2080ti

1070 is great for 1080p monitors

because solid 4k 144hz gsync monitors aren't on the market with good pricing, and they demand way more than we can get now. Even dual sli 2080ti's wouldn't perform well with 4k, 2k is only a bit more demanding than 1080, but 4k versu 2k is drastic

4k past 60hz <:GWnanaFeelsDumbMan:392308462165426176>

lol

guys chill

im gonna quadruple sli 4 titan xs

ez

4k isn't worth it

we are having a discussion

no 2k isnt worth it 4k is great

mr ping challenge?

@Autistic Dog

2k 165hz with gsync and 1x1080Ti is aweosome and more practical than 2x1070's

reee

because of the SLI downsides

wait can i

dude a 1080ti cant run 1440p at 165hz

unless youre playing csgo

"cant run"

lol

it can barely run witcher 3 at 100hz+

at 1080p

what if you buy founders edition and overclock the bejesus out of it

you do realize hz is the monitor refreshrate, not output framerate, right? just because you can't get consistently the full frequency's max displayrate

isnt FE using a shitty cooler and power phase setup that isnt good for OC

does not mean you can't run the monitor

FE uses a blower style cooler which is good for servers

a lot of my buds say fe has more room to oc

and mining rigs

don't fall for it
