Review: Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 Xtreme 8G
I found this interesting as it has comparisons with the Radeon VII and 1080ti. At this point, it looks like these three cards are pretty evenly matched unless you want ray-tracing.
This is a log of my upgrades and performance results over the last couple of years:
Using 3D-Mark results as a comparative benchmark.
My GPUs have all been NVIDIA since my last AMD card (6950). I did have a 980 in there between the 680 ad 1070 but I guess I didn't benchmark it.
CPUs have...
Looking at a 16GB (2x8) kit to put with my 8700K and eventually with a Ryzen 2700x.
Debating between these 2 kits: Both are on sale now at new-egg. I like the 3600 speed of the SniperX but those latencies worry me. Thoughts?

The Big debate - AMD or Intel - I am looking to upgrade - keeping some components and upgrading some. Would appreciate input.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mainly Gaming - also browsing and spreadsheets
2) What's your budget? Are tax and...
I just snagged a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 AMP off NewEgg. It's not the Extreme version, but still comes with a decent factory OC. The regular AMP has a 2 fan configuration where the AMP Extreme comes with 3 fans. I have had good experiences with Gigabyte and ASUS versions of Nvidia cards, and have...
I am currently debating a monitor upgrade. My current monitor which is still pretty nice (Dell 3007WFP (30in) @2560x1600) is almost 8 year old. It is slower that the newer monitors and sometimes I think it holds me back in some of my multiplayer games.
I am considering going 4K (ASUS PB287Q...
I just picked up a 2nd GTX680 for a pretty good price ($279 after rebate and 2 games I would end up buying). So now I am running SLI, and I am able to crank up some stuff. FYI - for those wondering, I am not have any problems doing SLI with these 2 cards. I see alot of forum posts where folks...
So i am sitting on a Galaxy 680 (reference card). Since I game on a 30in 2560x1600 monitor i could use some extra video processing horsepower. I am debating on either getting:
1) A 2nd 680 - ASUS GTX680-DC2O-2GD5 on sale at New Egg for $320 with a $40 rebate and 2 games (free shipping and...
OK - time to jump to a new processor. Gonna go with a i7 - 4770k. Hope I can get the same life as I have with this i7-930. Not to worried about which memory to get; gonna use same storage and video card (hopefully a 2nd 680 if/when the price comes down). My biggest dilemma is the MB. I have...
