This is the same reason I gvae up my corsair scimitar. Could only comfortably use some of the buttons. Hex is perfect because all 7 thumb buttons are easy to reach.I mostly just use the front 6, I can use the other 6 but it is a bit of a pain.
Really makes me want to see the 2070 numbers if those charts are accurate. I had been hoping to grab a 2080 this cycle, but once they announced pricing, the 2070 is more in line with my budget. I had been considering just grabbing a 1080 Ti.
The AIB partners are having the leftover 1000 series stock forced on them so we'll likely see some really good deals on them come black friday as they all try to purge stocks. Not to mention people selling their used 1080ti's as they upgrade. Hopefully the benchmarks will be out by then. Might be able to get a good deal
Only double the price if you're talking Founders Edition Preorder prices. It's actually less than 50% more, since the stock AIB partner 2080tis are going to be $899 now apparently.25-50% increase for double the price.. I don't have a 4k monitor so I wonder if I'm better off buying a 2+ year old video card at this point.
