I got my watercooled MSI GTX 1070 Sea Hawk X

for $450 in december 2016

yall can piss off

Not bad

the watercooling is amazing, I can run synthetic load for 15 minutes and never hit over 61C and that's without the radiator fan working hard at all

like 60%

thats a really high temp for that cooler

brb gotta piss which involves me going upstairs

should be sub 50

especially with low TDP 1070s

you need to understand HVAC to know what to expect

you dont need fans or liquid cooling

If I'm drawing over 100W, I can measure how much heat is being output, and with math can determine BTU transfer relative to ambient

just blow very hard at the gpu

so given the paste and all is good, I know my cooler's limits

i know yall have experience blowing things

just buy a portable ac and hook up a hose to the case

and 61 synthetic over long periods, I never get over 55C in games for long term where the GPU is realistically stressed

brb

evga uses the same coolers they shouldnt get above 50c is your ambient temp really high

theyre all made by asatek and the pump dies after 1-3 years

whos gonna use it for 3 years

my builds never had a part stay for longer than 2

my ambient was raised during those tests because I had two other GPU's in my PC's

but it's completely irrelevant

it stays cool as shit for a GPU

way better than ACX

also, some games I can easily get over 165 fps, some only 80, so the advantage of that monitor is versatility. When I have lower framerate but higher than 60fps, I'm not limited to only 60. Also, gsync makes frametimes even, so my 100fps is visually superior to 140fps with no gsync. Even with games like CS:GO, I can see a DRASTIC difference with Gsync on, I'm not unnecessarily exaggerating. I used the monitor before I bought it because a friend had one.

I was so impressed with Gsync that I had to have it, that's why I got it

worth the extra $ by far, have no regrets

also I got the monitor over half a year after the GPU, and bought the monitor expecting to upgrade GPU

since the monitor at the time was a relatively good price, I wanted it at the time, also because I was playing a competitive game that heavily benefitted from high fps and gsync at the time, so I bought it earlier on because for that as well

but I never run a 60fps average, so I am getting benefit either way, and honestly saying that getting a 165Hz monitor means should be able to run that on everything is retarded. The disparity between 100fps and 165fps is noticeable with very fast scenery/fast mouse movement, but in games even competitive is almost completely irrelevant. From my experience, having an average FPS of 90fps+ and 99th percentile no lower than 60fps is not very far off when it comes to experience as 165hz with 90fps 99th percentile. BUT this is from experience with Gsync on and extremely even frametimes, so maybe there's a slightly more exaggerated disparity, but you don't exactly have it to compare. If you don't have Gsync, you should go buy a Gsync monitor like mine to try it, you WILL notice it and after going to it, you will have no desire to have a non-gsync monitor in future upgrades @Autistic Dog

also you said the 2080Ti will likely be "$1500", well I'm gonna say it won't be more than $850 MSRP. Likely $799. Because that $1500 seems to be relative to the Titan V, since past 980ti and 1080ti have been a little bit more expensive than 50% of the Titan cost. First off, the Titan V is not a gamer-directed card, and will not produce the performance we should expect of the 2080Ti, Nvidia has considered arguments and demand for Titan to be a developer/specialist oriented card like quadro and tesla cards, and the Titan V is almost the equivalent to a consumer and practicality experiment. Titan from now on will likely perform close/slightly better than gaming flagship cards but have more tensor cores and such for certain applications that aren't for the average gaming consumer. Around the time the 2080Ti is released, there may be another Titan release as well and it is very likely, but it may still sustain the higher price/non-gamer orientation and won't reflect a relative price point for the 2080Ti itself. So, it's safe to say that the 2080Ti will be around $800 msrp at first launch.

So the speculation for $1500 is seemingly ignorant tot eh actual circumstances. good day/night. @Autistic Dog

its not

That's just speculation on inflated prices because of mining.

There is supposedly huge innovation with the Titan V and Tensor cores for deep learning and other arithmetic.
