No full cover block, but I adapted an older Swiftech MCW50 block for my 2070 Ventus.

My MSI RTX2070 Ventus came wrapped in plastic cellophane. Your card might have been a return. It's normal for the card to boost oc to those numbers. Although mine a 2070, it hits that 1800 to 1850 oc too.

You are currently running a GTX780, correct? I guarantee you we see a huge boost in performance going to a RTX2060. When I went from a GTX760 to a GTX1060, I was blown away on how I could up the settings quite a bit in most games. Even in TSW (trainsimworld), I was finally able to crank up the...

With a GTX 1070 in my system last summer, I got the following fps in F1 2017 Ultra settings at 1440p. GTX 1070 Low 56 fps Max 84 fps AVG 72 fps RTX 2070 Low 85 fps Max 126 fps AVG 103 fps You can see, that I gained around 30 fps in this game. In TrainSimWorld. max settings...

I have a RTX2070 paired with a I5 4670K and love the combination. I use an Acer Z321QU 1440P 144hHz display. Battlefield 5 (DXR off), Battlefield 1, World of Tanks, World of Warships, F1 2018, are a few of the games I play and I avg just around 100 FPS at 1440P max settings. Only in some cpu...

Here is a better pic of the card with the MCW50 mounted.

I've been running a ENERMAX Noisetaker EG495P-VE SFMA 485W since Dec 2004!

Also, if you recall, they updated the pump head assembly and gave it free to original owner's of the MCP600. The original design had some issues and they replaced the thrust head bearing with a ceramic design. It made it bulletproof, as I can attest to. I estimate that my pump has been running...

DDR6 doesn't run hot enough to require ramsinks. I also, carefully pick out a card that will work with a universal block. They must have separate heatsinks attached to the PCB for the power components and not the main cooler. I always have had multiple 80 mm fans blowing directly on the card...

Thanks. My MCW50 has been on a Radeon 9800 Pro, 8800 GTS, GTX760, GTX 1060, and GTX1070. Also, I'm still using the (2003) MCW5000 on my current CPU. I had to make a bracket for it too. I figure, why upgrade those components. They were solidly made and work! My Swiftech MCP 600 pump has been...

The RTX 2070's have new mounting hole dimensions. Going all the way back to the GTX 8000 series, the dimesions were 58mm x 58mm. With the RTX 2070's, they went to a wider dimension on the width. Now the dimension is 74mm x 58mm. I have been using a Swiftech MCW50 waterblock since 2004 and...

I upgraded to a 1070 from a 1060 6Gb for a small amount of money back in May and it was well worth it.

Newegg has a Gigabyte RTX 2070 up from third party seller. $599 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP8B25814&cm_re=RTX_2070-_-14-932-089-_-Product

Not anything objectionable. Just a bit of the typical VA glow or contrast shift. A bit in the upper left corner and a touch at the bottom. Definitely less than my previous Acer K272HL.

Looks good to me. Uniform with no visual dirty patterns.

I decided to go with the Acer Predator Z1 Z321QU. I bought it off Amazon and got it today. I have never had an issue with my previous Acer monitors and I really liked the features that this one offered. I'll report back after some more usage, but so far this thing is awesome.

I assume you would not recommend this monitor. ;^) I'm considering it or the Acer. https://hardforum.com/threads/acer-predator-z1-z321qu-or-lg-32gk850g.1962060/ The LG gets a bunch of good reviews. I guess you got the lemon of the lot.

Either of you with the LG experience G-Sync flickering issues?

Thanks for the helpful insights. I wish I lived closer to a retail store that had these monitors, so I could look at them first. Closest Microcenter is over 140 miles away.

I'm getting ready to upgrade my monitor. Currently I have an older Acer K272HL. (27" VA 1080 60HZ) I want a 32 inch 1440 VA 144HZ panel with G-Sync. Right now it's a toss up between the Acer Predator Z1 Z321QU or LG 32GK850G. The Acer is a bit cheaper and has the curved screen. Fairly...

Nice work for your first time. That is one clean and tidy setup. You need to put a window in that case. No need hiding it.

Price for the Zotac GTX 1070 one year ago. https://www.pcgamer.com/zotac-geforce-gtx-1070-mini-8gb-drops-to-a-sweet-340/ Nothing 'Sweet' about the current prices.

Here are some pics of my Leadtek Winfast A300 Ultra. At the time, I couldn't wait to get my hands on one. It has a minature boom box look to it.

Looks like this miner is bailing > https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-23-twenty-three-GeForce-GTX-1070-8GB-Graphics-Cards-various-models/142722855764?hash=item213af1f354:g:fIYAAOSwwq1aqpsg

Most of my Papst case and radiator fans are 16-18 years old and still running great.

My Swiftech MCP600 is still going strong after 14 years. Never had an issue once they replaced the pump head with a ceramic bearing face back in 2003.

My user name was based on all the 3DFX cards I owned. Although my first one was a Voodoo 2 by Diamond Monster. The Diamond Monster 3D II. I ran two in the sli setup known as the MegaMonster. This allowed me to game in 1024x768. I was in Glide gaming heaven.

Gone....to Spliffstarr.

I have one Origin Store $10 off promo code for purchases over $29.99 if anyone is interested. First to reply after 3PM Mountain time gets it. It's only good until the end of the month, but $10 off games such as BF4 will help your wallet.

My Enermax Noisetaker EG495P-VE has been powering my system through numerous upgrades since 2004.

Wow! That work is pretty impressive.

Almost 2 years since I purchased my board and I don't plan on replacing it....it's that good. :)

For Star Wars fans and those wanting a little twist in the gameplay/maps/weapons,etc., check out the First Strike Mod to BF2142. http://www.fsmod.com/us/ It was pretty fun and a nice change. Although servers and populations were lacking, the latest version (1.2) will be released soon and it's...

My 226BW had a $30 rebate from Samsung. I sent them the proper stuff back in mid December and got the check the first week of February. :) So I had no issues with the rebate process. Their site keeps you updated with the processing status too.

That 1:1 pixel ratio sure seems nice. I wish my 226BW had that. I can't stand the scaling issues I have doing it through Nvidia's control panel. You watch a video clip and it gets undone or certain resolutions get stretched no matter what. You then have to restart the computer in order to set it...

I'm in.

I remember reading this article http://www-tech.mit.edu/V117/N49/threedfx.49a.html and thinking my onboard Matrox Mystique is depriving me of more things than low frame rates. :D

My name says it all. Running a game in Glide with my first Voodoo 2 was gaming bliss. Still have that card. :D I also had two Diamond Monster 3D II's in SLI. It was called the MegaMonster. Voodoo 5 5500 served me well for a long time too.

18 11/16" W x 11 11/16" H

The scaling doesn't work with my 8800GTS 640 unless I apply the 'Overscan' fix. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2064 And even then, I might have to restart my computer when it gets disabled by certain videos or programs. Very annoying.
