I should have bought a card over twice the price of a 2080ti, that offers a general 5% performance gain (and would get decimated in the multigpu games), that wasn't out at the time I upgraded and would have given me a shorter system lifespan, and that will absolutely collapse in resale value the...

So here's the thing: I've built SLI systems every generation dating back to the 8800 GT, and in general I've been pleased with them. Yes, the complaints in general were valid (although often overstated), but on the whole I've always found it worth it to pay for depreciation on a second GPU to...

I don't want to waste money for no real-world benefit, but I'll spend if it's justified. There is stagnant air in my case with the top card basically sucking hot air right off the bottom card. If $200 fans are going to move noticeably more air than $100 fans I'll get them, but I probably...

I am running SLI 2080 Ti cards in a Corsair 750D case and the top card is just getting way too hot. I know the open-air coolers are not the best for SLI, but it's what I'm working with. I believe I could knock the temps down a lot if I got better airflow in my case. I'm thinking I want to do...

What's the story?

I just got Ultrawings and the sensation of flight really impressed me. The best thing I've seen in VR so far is the new area of Rez, but it doesn't last very long.

Not sure what you mean by "around the corner."

So far I've been liking the Taichi. Took me to 5ghz with no problem other than the scorching heat. Were I going to place this PC under intense loads, I'd be doing a de-lid no question, but it's perfectly fine for gaming. Make sure you have the latest bios, updating it made a difference for...

So I ended up coming out pretty decently. Got the 16GB TridentZ 3200 CL14 memory on sale for $179 (went up to $189 overnight after I bought). And the tachi board for $180 after sale/rebate/review incentive. Then beyond that, I was able to use the $25 off $200 newegg masterpass promo, AND I...

Thanks for the response bro. I see you went with 32GB of memory, which is the other key thing I'm thinking about. What caused you to take 32 over 16? I thought for sure that I was getting 32 but the prices are ridiculous. Did you get 16x2 or 8x4? I'm so out of the loop that I don't even know if...

My current build (3930k + Rampage IV extreme) has been so trouble-free and reliable that I've honestly forgotten a lot of what I know because all I've had to do is replace graphics cards for many years. It's still great but I want a bit of extra speed to feed my 1080 TI sli. Any answers to...

Go research on the official forums, pretty sure there's a workaround. I think the problem may have been that game files are encrypted/copy protected and literally being decrypted while you play.

I have my two FE cards at something like +163 core. They start off at 2025mhz but very quickly throttle to 1987 with brief forays up to 2000. Moving the offset up or down doesn't really affect it much. Changes the starting point but they always settle to 1987. On a hard load they are running in...

Heat and noise, especially if you have multiple GPUs. SLI cards on air can definitely warm up a room during a long session.
