  1. yes, but bottleneck will vary on what your doing.
  2. depends on how much money you have. I would update your whole platform and get a higher refreshrate display.
  3. i sold my 2080ti 2 month ago, 2nd gen RTX is a leage about first, that's the thing about new tech. First gen is always a tech demo. even a 3070 beats 2080ti, so at things point, if you use RTX, moving to 3080/90 will be a better idea.
  4. Get Stadio or xcloud, they will be better than any mobile games.
  5. Bought 2080ti from r/hardware swap for 699$ in 2018 december( apparently gets hot, turned out to be broken fans), sold them locally for 799$ 2 month ago. 

     

    Best feeling ever 

     

     

  6. Sorry what? They have a monopoly on IOS, can i permanently sideload fortnite on my iphone 11 pro/ Ipad? the answer is no, yeah thare are workaround with things like Ult store but they are a temp solution whare you have to jump through a lot of hoops. Have you heard of the term walled garden when refered to IOS? mo·nop·o·ly /məˈnäpəlē/ Learn to pronounce noun 1. the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service. "his likely motive was to protect his regional monopoly on furs" Ex- apple on IOS
  7. If it's anything like hangout, they won't.
  8. try a diffrent socket, if that dosen't work,RMA.
  9. Bunch of old people getting nostalgic, bunch of kids wants something as a prop and youtubers. You can buy the original ones for cheaper, which has actual historical value. i can see paying 50- 100, due to all the work they have to do but 500$ is pusing it by a lot.
  10. becouse, they are a SOC that fits in GPU, CPU, modem, ram, DSP, ISP, security chips....ect. ARM vs X86, the snapdragon is designed for low power usage. ARM is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architecture while x86 is a CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing), so ARM uses less silicon area.
  11. SteelSeries Rival 650 is good but after trying bunch of mices, G pro has the best preformance when it comes to games. If you can deal with cords, look at Final mouse.
  12. Would you side with microsoft, in 2001? Just because thare are rules, that doesn't mean the rules are fair or can't be challanged. Apple is facing a bunch of antitrust lawsuits for a reason, hopefully they open up the OS a bit more. same thing could be said about microsoft in the 2000s.
  13. It might have set a custom resolution somehow. It might due to supersampleling.
  14. Not safe, don't. 1- clean fans 2- repaste 3- undervolt 4- buy a cooling pad
  15. No it dosen't. People use Iphones due to IOS, they don't want to use a different default browser, or download another app store. Most consumers don't want to worry about things like this, this is why IOS is sucessfull. The custom tailored expriance, don't like something? suck it up up use a different OS. Unless thare is a anticompetitive lawsuit( EU, they are really smart about this), Apple won't do shit. If you really care about open platform, or very paranord about security/ privacy, you probably use LOS( you can even make your own verson of LOS and give it updates) with Fdroid for apps, firefox as a brower. No, don't think for a second, apple cares about privacy, or being kind, same with the users. Most tech people alrealy knows this.
  16. The value of an item is whatever the buyers pay for, considering switch is more rarer then gold here. On places like Ebay, Reddit hardware swap, you can easily get 600$. Fair price would be 550$.
  17. Try to get a Ryzen 3600 from microcenter for 159$ https://www.microcenter.com/product/608320/amd-ryzen-5-3600-matisse-36ghz-6-core-am4-boxed-processor-with-wraith-stealth-cooler Changed the PSU, MOBO and CPU.

  18. What game? someting specific or every game? Did you run any GPU benchmarks like Furmark? what about safemode, still crashed in safemode?
  19. generally a good idea, this platform is really old, the Mobo probably don't have much life left, an OC might just be the thing that broke the camels back.
  20. Thats the point, fortnite is a BR, so you can't really find a matched scenario you will be in. This will give you a general idea of what your going to get. Disclosure- i don't play fortnite, dar as i know it's a easy game to run, so a GTX 1660 super will be more then enough especelly at low.
