These cards have more similarities than differences. I'd say either of them will be fine, these are the factors that can make you lean one way or another. 1. Price, msrp aside where I live the 3080 is 819€ the 6800 xt is 999€ There is no way that different is worth it, but pricing differs in...

So basically I'm planning on vertically mounting my GPU. This will be an asus TUF RTX 3080 My options are: Cooler master ver 2 @45€ Phanteks @42,5€ Cablemod @67€ I have no experience with these, I get the feeling the phanteks one has the cheapest built quality. I hear high praise for the...

So thinking about getting sleeved PSU cables, I'm most likely getting a Cablemod set. However I consider the price to be quite high for something purely aestetical, I do understand why the price is that high though. I'm working in a huge PC case, so extra cables isn't really an issue. So the...

Thanks for the advice. I do believe the Halo's standard cable can be daisy chained. So I believe I can join the cable into 1 hub port and have the neon LED strip go in another power and than connect the hub to the motherboard. I'm not planning on individually lighting them. I'm getting a huge...

Hello all, After looking around for weeks I've decided to ditch the idea of getting ARGB fans and I'll be using these halo covers instead. I'm going to get 5x140mm Phanteks halos digital (regular not the lux edition) I'm going to add 1 Phanteks Neon LED strip of 1m lenght, for reference this...

Allright I actually decided to not get ARGB fans, rather I'll get the phantek halo's to put over them. I'll probably be reusing some of my higher performing noctua fans and probably adding some more of them This explination makes a lot of sense, you can move a lot of air but if at the...

Allright thanks for the info, I'm still undecided on this part, I was leaning towards mounting it vertically even with air. I believe Aestetically speaking the TUF card will combine quite well with the TUF case. However I'm not willing to increase GPU temperatures just for mounting it...

Allright, thanks for all the advice man, I really appreciate it. Would you mount the GPU vertically or horizontally with this setup? Or does it not influence the airflow in this scenario?

So basically fan pressure (rated in mmH2O?) > CFM Makes sense, airflow without any resistance is meaningless with things like dust filters I detest LED strips, I hate seeing the individual LED's on them, gives me a "cheap" look (In my mind at least) The only ones I really like are the cooler...

I have no issues stress testing my system to find the optimal way of running, I do understand this may be different case by case That's a good point, the noctua fans are rated for 140CFM and there are 2 off them on the cooler The highest rated 140mm ARGB fan (for airflow) that I could find is...

So after carefull considering I'm planning on getting an Asus TUF GT501 PC case. I'm wondering what kind of fan setup I should aim for, as far as capacity goes itt has 3x120mm/2x140mm front options, 3x120mm/2x140mm top and 1x140mm rear. I hear that I'm best off doing positive pressure, however...

Actually it's been pretty clear that since the FE model has the same issues it can't be solely a capacitor issue. EVGA did state they had issues, the retail models have a revised system over what was sent to reviewers, yet the crashes still happen, so their message might be entirely unrelated...

So I've been thinking a lot about future upgrades, and one thing that's been on my mind is making the jump from 1080p directly to ultrawide. Which begs the question, can any current GPU make it work, is the current 2080ti enough for 3440x1440p@144fps? If it is I feel like the 3080 will handle...

Hi all, So as many others here I'll be finally upgrading my 980ti to either a 3070 or 3080 (Most likely the 3080, but it depends on price and availability) Naturally my 24" 1080p@144hz monitor needs an upgrade as well. Since 4K@144hz is just not realistic even for the 3080 I don't plan to...

It depends and you have several options. You can wait till Black Friday/Cyber monday in 2 months and you could get a better deal for a 1440p monitor. I don't recommend gaming at 30-60FPS but depending on how old the game is your card can handel 60FPS. Now if you can't deal with the low...
