Thanks for the suggestions and replies @Zando Bob & @Squanchy! @Squanchy Are you running in Remastered in BDO or what settings do you typically use. Also do you see your Strix card run hot at all in most games you play or is it pretty cool. I have been a big fan of the water cooled AIO for GPUs but if the Air Coolers are solid I might choose one of those instead. I have the Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic Case with 3 fans pulling in cool air, and the CPU + GPU are blowing (pulling) out the hot air. @Zando Bob I considered going SLI / NVLink but I think for now I am gonna stick with single card, so max single card performance is key for me. For the marginal performance boost does the 2080 Super really make itself more impressive over the 2080 for the extra $$. If I didn't go and break the bank for a 2080 Ti, I would use the extra money saved on the on 2080 / 2080 super to help build my stream with either a stream deck , or capture hardware if I can take this 980Ti and put it into my super old 4670k build and use that as the stream pc.

Hello Friends! Not to long ago I finally upgraded and built myself a "new" PC but didn't upgrade the GPU. I figured my EVGA 980Ti Hybrid would hold me over for a while, but I am ready to upgrade. Right now I have a 8700K that has been OC'd to 5.0 Ghz on all cores (1.28v not delided, Corsair AIO.... is that a good chip?) , 32 GB Trident Z RGB 3200Mhz Memory (running XMP, CL 16) on an Asus Maximus X Hero (WiFi AC) Motherboard. I have two Acer 1440p 144hz (one can OC to 165 hz) IPS Monitors connected to my GPU. I would Ideally like to easily hit 144hz+ on all or most games out currently (future maybe too ?). The game I actively play the most right now is Black Desert Online, honestly CPU is the major factor here, but I would like to move onto other games and play with the highest settings for 1440p game play. I have also started getting into Streaming and with my current setup its okay, but not the greatest. I appreciate any and all suggestions. I will do my best to answer any questions, but as always THANK YOU to anyone and everyone that takes the time to reply!

When I connected the DT990 directly into the Onkyo receiver, I can notice this hissing sound when I began to increase the volume. When connected straight to the computer, I can't hear it which is likely because the audio cannot be boosted beyond the normal sound controls. The other issue I noticed is that when I have Sound set to 192khz the left channel sounds about 10-15% louder then the right (which I think is a windows 10 issue) but not when set to default 48kHz or 96Khz.

Sorry, I own a Onkyo TX-NR636 receiver. I have my desktop computer that has an ASUS Maximus VI Hero Mobo inside which uses optical to connect to receiver. I just purchased the DT990 600 ohm headphones. I was wondering if this current setup is good enough with those headphones or would it be better to invest in an AMP/DAC to connect to the computer for the best audio/gaming experience. Right now connected and when audio begins playing I do hear this background static which I think might be because of the motherboard. I never heard this before when playing audio from my surround speakers or older Turtle Beach Stealth 400 wireless headphones.

Hello everyone! I have read through other topics about pairing these headphones with amps/dacs and have seen a lot of recommendations from entry level amp/dacs to higher ends. My question is will my TX-NR636 Onkyo receiver that I use with my desktop (Asus Maximus VI Hero Mobo) work with these headphones. The headphones will work connected to the receiver directly and the audio from the desktop is coming by optical. I can also plug these headphones directly into the motherboard and they work just fine as well. I don't mind buying a AMP/DAC if its best for powering my headphones, just not sure at that point what to go with. I appreciate any suggestions!
