Best case it has 12, and anything above that will have a bit more. Probably 16

Since I learned about it, Dell will always be that company that took discount chips from Intel as long as they didn't get any from AMD. Funny seeing a lot of their computers with Ryzen now, but it was shitty that Intel did that; and Dell was complacent.

the more i'm doing my researches, and the more it seems like the 2080ti is just a cashgrab compared to 1080ti, what do you guys think?

Unless you are streaming i guess

from what i've got, FPS wise, it's like a 25% boost for triple the price, of course that can change from game to game, i'd like to hear opinions from somebody who understands GPU more than me, basically most people in this chat

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 7:58 PM

It's a cashgrab, but it's not triple the price.

1080 Ti was the same.

1200 euro to the 1080 with 800-900.

Okay, both Core Temp and CPU-Z are saying that my core speed is at 2195 MHz. How do I fix that?

merry bay Feb 10, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

If you're a dev or nerd enough to mess around with RTX there's value there too.
If 1080ti fps seem attractive for you, it's still a great choice.
It's just enough for most games to edge out 60fps@4k with medium+ settings(as long as your CPU keeps up)

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

There's often hardly enough value to justify the percentual price increase.

#

But to some, price doesn't matter.

25% more performance for a 70% price hike is literally the 2080ti compared to the 1080ti

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:06 PM

yeea i do have a 960, nothing too fancy, but i wanted to move to 144fps (and i wouldn't mind using low graphics, keep that in mind, i'm quite used to it)

that's why i was doing my researches on 1080 and 2080

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:06 PM

144 in what?

let's say rust, for example.

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:07 PM

eternal cairn Feb 10, 2020, 8:07 PM

Unless you're in one of those 10k resource battleground servers, I don't see a point in that FPS.

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

Cause it's the worse example in terms of optimization i can think of BestMod

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

If you're using a 960 now, what's your CPU?

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

144Hz is achieveable with a lot, if you're willing to lower settings and resolutions.

#

You don't have to set the bar higher than you want to jump, with a new GPU.

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

I can get 140 - 160 in RE2R just lowering the image quality to 80% with my 580

#

Absolute low settings causes it to downclock and it runs like shit at that point, actually worse

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

Image quality? Is that downscaling, or is it the only setting availabe?

#

Resolution downscaling, that is.

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

I think its something like that, that's what the setting is called

eternal cairn Feb 10, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

What other settings are there?

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

It doesn't look much worse than 100% either

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

Aye.

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

Bunch of post processing effects, shadows and the like

eternal cairn Feb 10, 2020, 8:11 PM

I almost always set shadows to medium.

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:11 PM

I might find out the same as 2080ti, cashgrab BestMod

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:13 PM

Not as much of one.

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

You have to go X series to find cashgrabs

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

New GPUs are coming out later in the year, 2080ti is not a good buy as it is. But right now its probably the worst time to get one

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

2060, 2060S, 1660S, 1660, 1550S. Around that, what ever is cheapest, would be feasible.

#

Which, if I remember performance correctly, is why the 5700XT is also suitable.

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

And which cpu would go well with a 1080ti? Main goal is gaming

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Doesn't fully matter what CPU.

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

If its newer than a 7700k, and has more cores then its fine

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

Just to avoid bottleneck basically

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

I7 for intel is preferred, but you are talking about negligeable differences, disregarding bottlenecks.

#

8700K would be great, if found cheap.

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

This goes across the board for any platform

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

Due to the 8-series architecture.

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

I might scrap the 2080ti + i9 option tbh, it seems overkill

#

Cause that's what i tought for my new rig at the start

#

Thanks for your time

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

It is overkill. If you want value, there are a lot of options right now, both CPU as GPU.

#

But I understand the thinking.

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

2080ti is if you're planning to play stuff at 4k at like 90+ FPS or something, or even like high refresh 1440. But at that point cheaper cards can handle that as it is

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

2080 Ti is if you want the most expensive consumer card.

#

Because you want the most expensive consumer card.

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

I don't care what Nvidia says, the Titan is a consumer card phaSip

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

And the Titan won't give you any more FPS at double the price

#

Titan is big dicking: the graphics card.

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

look at it this way, i saved up some cash with the goal of making a really good PC with the goal of getting 144 fps EVEN at the cost of loweing graphics settings. Potentially, i'd like to reach it with medium on most games. However, the more i'm doing my researches, and the more it seems like going for a 3k pc doesn't give you THAT much more value than let's say a 1.5k one, if you get what i'm trying to say

#

i'd be fine to go for a 3k build, but if i don't get much from it, i'd rather not, if you get what i mean

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

144fps at 1080p or what?

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

that's what i initally planned, yea

merry bay Feb 10, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

I'd say you don't want to barely meet that target, you want to be a bit above that for slight leeway

vapid crypt Feb 10, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Cause you can get that with sub 1000 depending on what games we're talking about

merry bay Feb 10, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

9700K + 1080ti is probably that point

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Eeh

#

1080 Ti and I can still crank and get 1440p144Hz

#

You can aim lower

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

personally i never cared too much about 1080 - 1440p 2k ecc, it might be just me but i don't see that much of a difference.. it seems like once you get to 720p anything behind that just makes it a bit sharper

#

again, might just be me

sick reef Feb 10, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

I value frames and pixels, but not pixels for frames. 1440p is a good middle ground

#

Suffices that my computer handles it well.

stiff rock Feb 10, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

yea i also value FPS by A LOT

#

so i'd not goo TOO high on resolution to not lower them, maybe that 1440p would be a good middle ground
