    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I don't think this is quite the case. The reason you didn't see 4k 100+hz monitors is because no video card on the market could push those framerates. 1440p+144hz monitors exploded onto the market (there over a dozen now, with some in the sub-500 dollar range when they originally retailed for...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I mean, the reverse is true for adaptive sync, which Samsung is finally working into some of their latest TVs and Xbox One S and X are now being patched to support, and 100+ hz refresh rates, which are still totally off the horizon for consoles. Both of those are game-changes individually and...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    There's plenty of good 1440p options, even some ultrawides. Unfortunately, none of them have HDR. 4k HDR at high refresh is very hard to pull off. Both of the ones heading to market have a 500 dollar custom FPGA built in just to handle the processing. ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 27" 4K 144Hz...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I have no doubt AMD will come up with something pretty good. They just devoted a ton of R&D dollars this cycle to catching up to Intel in the workstation and server CPU segments.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    No one has even brought in TDP and performance per watt yet either, which is another reason why you can't compare across different classes of cards.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    What the fuck are you even talking about? You just compared a 6 core unlocked desktop part to a fucking 2 core mobile part. The 8700k is like 4-6 times faster than an 7560U in total workload throughput. Do you even computers bro?

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    This is a stupid argument. The 1080ti launched almost a year after the 1070 and 1080 cards launched. It was a very mature technology getting high yields off the fabs. That's why they were able to bring the price point down to only 60-100 or so dollars more than where the 1080 originally...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    That article doesn't understand how to read a chart. Even without the light green bars, the dark green bars show a 40-55% improvement in most games. My 1080 cost me 689 dollars shortly after release, a bit over 2 years ago. A new 2080 is going to cost around 750 dollars depending on exactly...

    That's a 144hz HDR 4k display. Big difference. A generic HDR 4K 27 inch 60 hz monitor is a whopping $450.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I don't think you know what you're talking about. Xbox One X does not run most AAA games at 60 FPS at 4k. Most are locked at 30 FPS. And most console games run at what PC gamers would consider low or medium settings. Considering a decently clocked GTX 1080 can do 1440p at a solid 100 fps in...

    No one is telling you you need a full size professional rendering GPU cut down and shoved into your home PC. I feel like the 2070 is pretty reasonably priced but this is all a stupid thing to argue about until we see benchmarks.

    Unless you plan on buying one second-hand, no. The price on old stock won't drop enough on old cards to justify getting a 1080ti over say a 2080. But the second hand market will be amazing. r/hardwareswap

    4790k is almost certainly still fine and will remain fine. Still rocking a 4770k but likely going to the new 9900k by end of year.

    Gonna delid your CPU? If you're going to go all the way, it's worth it. Gamers Nexus has a few good liquid metal delid videos. New intel CPUs are supposed to use solder again though.

    I was looking at the expected column not the rumored column. Those rumored specs do not look right. wccftech used to be a good HW rumor site but they've been posting baseless garbage the past year or so.

    Not sure what you're talking about, the 1070 was something like an 60% jump over the 970. If those new specs are real, some napkin math says at least a 30% jump.
