mobile gaming was a mistake
quite
you can buy a egpu setup for that money
hp 8770w for around $150usd + 3740qm + rx4804gb would be absolutely godly performance for the price
i have egpu already, it's about as stable as a tranny
just like your future chinkcard
I am thinking of buying there(on tao), 9900k ES for 320$ am I retarded?
not really, depends on your local prices
let me upload es guide
@Droidbot thanks, for the guide. Could you recommend me forwarders, particular, for PC hardware from taobao?
My friends use superbuy, I don't buy PC shit too often from there
9900k costs 670$ where I live.
Holy lord
yeah
Coffee Lake and Coffee Lake R use the same microcode between ES and Final, and some are even final stepping
Br?
nah, Kazakhstan, lmao.
Just keep in mind that errata exists between ES and Final, so there may be some problems you won't observe on retail CPUs
Eg P0 stepping PCIE death
I see, probably better to buy 8700k es then.
though, I saw on tao 9900k+motherboard for 3200 yuan.
not ES
Errata exists with 8700k too, but I can't remember all the bugs and Intel docs don't list it
But as long as it is ES2, chips will be perfectly fine for daily use
If you are willing to get down and dirty with BIOS modding you could also pick up a cheap Xeon final, like 2246G
Need 100 series PCH (anything you can get) with management engine permanently neutered
it's 8700k's xeon version?
Effectively, no OC however
Colorful has good GPUs
Had one for a few years, nobissues and about to make a CS gaming computer
I have 1080ti right now, that I bought when I was in US in microcenter 2 years ago. Probably, will stay with it for a long time, until something arrives that can handle 8k 60fps, lol.
Lul, what CPU paired with it atm
4670k
Ayy same, looking into upgrading soon but can't find good cheap ITX options
Have 1070 paired with it, bad CPU bottleneck in eSports shit like Apex Legends and stutter in AAA like FH4
I’m gonna get a Ryzen for my new one, I just hate the inflated prices on GPUs because of MUH CRYPTO
yeah, 4 cores are not enough now.
@goobergopher best off buying cheap mining cards from Taobao or Aliex, prices hit the floor
