Made the jump from 1080p to 2k 165hz 2 years ago. 2k 165hz blows the doors off of 1080p I have a U2718Q Dell Monitor for my workstation, and a Acer XB271HU for my personal/gaming setup. I've tried playing games on the 4K monitor and always preferred the higher refresh rate of the G-Sync Acer...

Surprised how most reviews never mention that Ryzen 5 comes with a CPU cooler. That's still a good $20-$40 you save from not having to buy a cooler with the Intel chips. And if I were to pick, it would be the 1600 and overclock it.

Doesn't the air goes vertical along the fins? As in, it exits the sides of the card, not the front or the rear. That's how my EVGA GTX 1080 SC works at least.

Fortunately it's pretty easy to use Geforce Experience to update anyway. But I can see a vocal minority not happy with the decision.

All true and good, but jesus 49dB :banghead: But safe to say once they let their AIB partners come out with some nice dual or triple fan coolers, it's going to be a hit.

Yayyy it looks like..... the other gpus..... :wtf:

And hopefully they allow non-reference designs, it will be funny if it ends up performing better than the 290X since the 290X is a furnace that downclocks too much.

I'm not on any side, this is great news for prices in general. But both companies switch roles time to time. Remember the 7970 launched at a staggering $550? Then the GTX 680 came out at $400 and even the playing field. Then it made AMD come out with the 7970GE which performs better. The only...

I still have my trusty old 8800GTS 312mb in my nephew's computer, and since he only has a 1280x1024 monitor, he can pretty much play all the modern games just fine. Sometimes I wish I didn't get used to the 60fps 1080p standard or else I'd get myself a low res monitor with a GTX660 or...

So it's basically going to be an overclocked 650ti?

"the case doubles up as heatsink for the NUC's hot components" Sounds cool, does that actually work?

Nothing, why create a product for Apple/Mac fans if it isn't overpriced?

Oh really, so you would pair a AMD Sempron 145 Single Core processor and GTX 680s in SLI to game at 1440p since "All games are limited by the GPU, it doesn't matter which CPU you have." It doesn't work that way. If anything, gaming at 1440P with super high end GPUs will need a fast processor...

A little off topic. But that guy worked at low paying jobs most of his life. Then decides to go to College. Graduates first, and then decides to embark on a Journey in which he will live without money with his wife and child by taking resources from others who give it to him? Story of his...

If this was around $700, I would have sold my GTX 680 and bought this. But $1000, I'd rather just get the 690. Heck, at this point it looks like I'm just gonna have to go 680 SLI.
