Hi, I have a 1080 Ti for a 1080p monitor, yes, I know don't remind me. Would I gain even more performance from the card if I have 2 HDMI cables plugged into the monitor? Thanks

i doubt you will cause the great fire of london 2 but your system wont be winning any awards. and plus, if you have ryzen 9 or even 5 money, why cheap out so much on the motherboard? what specs are you planning to build on? 

I'm going to assume the "ryzen 7" is a 5800x based on your old threads.
To name some boards.

It's gonna happen across all phones within the next year or so. The phone industry will follow the same 3 step cycle.
 
1) Laugh at Apple removing a necessary feature/item
2) See Apple's sales grow despite lacking the necessary feature/item.
3) Quickly adopt what Apple did and pretend Step 1 never happened
 
By Step 3 it's iPhone Event time again and the cycle repeats itself.

Depends on what kind of keyboard you like, micro, full, with macro keys or not, if RGB is a thing and so on...
 
there simply isn't an all around 'best' keyboard, just different tastes.
 
I personally use a Corsair K70 LUX RGB with MX Browns and really appreciate it.

We have right now the Kingston 960GB SSD in germany for 88 Euro sale price. This is very cheap. I wouldn't trust a chinese shop over this lol

Complete BS, I can't remember how it's done but LTT made a video about how these SD cards/SSDs fake capacities.
 
It's probably only 128GB or maybe 256GB.

What games? What FPS are you getting?
CPU & GPU temps?
Monitor plugged in to the graphics card and not the motherboard?

My first guess would the locked i7 not delivering enough single thread oomph.
Spotty is asking the right questions.

sounds like a cpu bottleneck to me. 
 

Definitely, i actually had the same issue with my 3570k and the 1080.
I switched to 8600k and the performance difference was clear. My GPU was getting to 100% on all the titles as well after that.
Previously it was around 40-50% tops.
 
 

The 2060 is better than the 1660

the 1660 ti is slower too... just to add

I'd get either a vega 56 or a 2060

Should definitely be getting more than 45FPS in GTA V at 1080p.

Any crazy mods in GTA V like super duper extra realism mod with 8k textures or something?
DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) disabled in Nvidia control panel (3D settings)?
Both sticks of RAM detected and showing 16GB in task manager?
No background tasks eating up resources?
Have you reinstalled display drivers? (If not, use DDU and install the latest from Nvidia website for your card).

Try running MSI afterburner while you play the game and keep an eye on the CPU & GPU usage in games. See what usage % they're at. Ideally you will want the GPU to be at or near 100% most of the time.

Thank you guys for your help!

At least at current time a 7 year old i7 is still perfectly fine for most tasks, see my build in my signature. Maybe if core counts start skyrocketing and stuff actually uses those cores you might fall behind, but as it stands you should be good.

Is the 7700K meeting your requirements? If so, stick with it.
If not, why isn't it able to meet your requirements? What would you need to be able to meet your requirements? Is the cost of changing worth the benefit?

If it's not stable, it's not stable. All core turbo without oc is like 4.2 so I'd say it's at least a slightly decent uptick.

Why not upgrade to 1440p?
In all honestly, a 2080ti is a horrible waste of money for 1080p. Upgrade the resolution and it will solve all issues
 

Both are the same, up to their maximum limit (which is different depending on the device). If you want to run at a certain resolution/refresh rate combo that is above the limit of HDMI, then you have to use DisplayPort. If not, then they're both the same.

External optical drives.

Nice find, make sure you update the post with the below quoted guidelines for the forum.

If they use the 11xx name at all, it'll be a rebranded card. It's either that or a placeholder for the TBA Turing chips for laptops. Wouldn't expect them until after CES though. 
 
Btw, this doesn't meet the tech news posting guidelines, so it'll be moved by a mod sooner or later.
