So, if you are a no compromises enthusiast who has a very high end GPU like a 1080Ti or 2080+ then Intel may be the way to go if you want to get the most out of your gaming system. You are only bound by availability and pricing of the Intel CPU.

Anyone else should seriously look into AMD, especially if you are a 4K gamer where the GPU is the limit anyway. AMD is currently far better in price vs. performance and it offers the better upgrade path, too.

Jesus Christ, who the fuck cares about any of this shit? I mean seriously, how the fuck is this not wasting developer time and money on completely useless shit that is also very taxing on hardware...

GOG version?

I'm really trying not to buy games from Steam anymore, mainly because I'd rather support GOG with my business.

Curious how the 2070 will stand against the 1080ti - Also curious how much stock will be left of the 1080ti's by the end of October as well.

For the price of this card and the small amount of increased fps compared to my 1080 Ti FTW3. No thanks, Ill stick with my card for the next few years until these cards get much better, and faster. The current price of $1200 is beyond what these cards are worth.

The 2080 is the same price, more or less, than the 1080ti, is more futureproof, and does a bit better. If you're buying now, buying the 1080ti makes no sense.

As for you, do you routinely buy a new graphics card every year? You have the most powerful of the last generation. How many people actually buy a new card every gen? Did you also have a 980ti? Most people wait at least 2, if not 3, if not 4 or even 5 generations to upgrade. Unless you're demanding 4k or VR, 3 seems to be the sweet spot.

Sorry, but I disagree. I just bought a MSI 1080 ti new for under $400. With those prices it is asinine to purchase the 20xx cards.

Indeed, I'm seeing new 1080ti's upwards of $150-200+ (CAD) cheaper then entry level board partner 2080s (example: non strix Asus 2080). That's just browsing for a couple minutes comparing, there are likely even better deals with a little research.

I'm not looking to buy, so not really price shopping, but the cheapest 1080ti on Newegg is $675. The cheapest 2080 is $750.

Unbelievable, another nut case kid with mental health issues that got passed though the system and no one acted upon this kid knowing he was mentally messed up.

And on top of that he was sold two guns the previous month. I mean, how the fricking hell does someone with a know mental problem get sold weapons? The system is so screwed up. Gun shop owners should be held accountable and made to be more stringent on who they sell weapons to.

Im not against the 2nd amendment or taking weapons away. I have my own weapons. but they really need to fix the system so these types cant get a hold of guns so easily.

It's a bullshit excuse used by the GOP to protect the weapon manufacturers. Fact is most gun crime are crimes of passion. So way more people who are "normal" are shooting other people simply because they said yes to the wrong impulse. If you start giving psych evaluations to everyone where does the cutoff begin? You can't accurately predict who's going to snap and go on a shooting spree and who isn't. Guy in Las Vegas was a perfect example of that. Replay any of these mass-shooting scenarios and replace the guns with a blade or club and you're not going to see anything close to the sort of harm that's done with guns.

The reality is, if you allow everyone to arm themselves to the teeth and do that in public this is going to happen. It does happen in the US every single day now. It's so common in fact most of it doesn't even make the new anymore. Yet, in countries with stringent gun controls you don't see anything remotely close to what's going on in the US. So blame it on mental health all you like, hell even change the laws on it, but you're not going to see these things stop when everyone and his dog is walking around strapped.

Well of course Apple and Apple users are dicks. I'm surprised they didn't go with Galileo or Newton instead.
