    Question Resale value of 2080ti?

    The new Super lineup is probably getting released relatively soon (along with the unlocked 2080ti super - not sure if it's called that but whatever) and I'll probably sell my 2080ti FE along those lines. What would the appropriate price be for one? I personally would have sold it for like 600 €...

    Buying an ultrawide... Question about refresh rates

    If you had to choose between the two - I'll have to add another factor in - the Samsung one costing 699 € (615 £?) and the Asus/Alienware/Acer model's with basically same specs (UW 120 Hz IPS w/ G-sync) costing around 1199 € (1050 £)... The Samsung one is on sale from 871 € (I don't get why the...

    Buying an ultrawide... Question about refresh rates

    So I bought 2080ti... still waiting for it though (should appear 19th... hopefully), and I figured that wouldn't really do any justice on a--- I'd say 5 year old 1080p 144hz monitor from Acer - So buying a new one I got kind of fixated into these 2 displays: - C34F791 UW VA [QD] panel from...

    Building a pc for someone (Couple options)

    I have two options: "Cheap" ram (165 eur 3200hz 16cl kit) + Ryzen 5 2700x or Slightly "expensive" B-die ram (239 eur 3200hz 14cl kit) + Ryzen 5 1600x both would go to the same price range. Just wondering what would get the "high ground" on high fps 1080p gaming + occasional streaming. Going...

    Asking about laptops for... I guess graphic design

    I... uhhh... yeah... not touching macbooks. The OS is too... meh... I get why people buy them but first of all they lack the support for gaming. Even if you could stick a 1080ti into that "overpriced brand-carrier", you're not gonna get much out of it. Or I'm just biased against the overall...

    Asking about laptops for... I guess graphic design

    I currently have a pc just for gaming and occasional drawing with graphics tablet and autodesk scetchbook. The only problem I guess I have is that the screen is 144hz basic 1080p TN display - so nothing looks exactly spectacular on it - and I really don't like sitting in my room... So I'm...

    Bitcoin mining | why now?

    I heard about bitcoin's back in January 2017; why has it been January 2018 onward when the GPU prices have started to explode (god dammit... do people really buy stocks/rows of 1080ti's; considering the prices inflated by a couple hundred in a matter of few weeks - that's my assumption... like...

    Intel or Amd for gaming ?

    I guess if you are going just for gaming, Intel is the answer. But got to say that I'm personally using Ryzen 1600, and mainly just because I'll probably need a CPU for multitask intensive software after about half a year or so And just noticed but the variant you are comparing is definitely...
