    [SOLVED] Need advice about what to do. Upgrade 1080ti or wait

    Yeah should have mentioned that, sorry. I play at 3440x1440 as I have a 34" ultrawide screen monitor. I have been playing "The Outer Worlds" on the 1080ti but stopped because the jankyness was just too much. Upgrading the CPU helped but I am afraid the 1080ti is just not cutting it.

    [SOLVED] Time to Upgrade? Wait for new Socket Intel/AM (AM5)

    Hello all My system is quite old now. Its based on a i7-4770K Haswell and a 1080ti. I know it's time for a upgrade, not just for performance but mainly for new and greater expandability (USB3.0, M2 Drives, built in WIFI, etc). So it's not just the CPU that will be upgraded but (almost)...
