ASRock B450M Pro4
Team Vulcan DDR4 2666 (timings dialed in at 14-16-14-14-30)
Toshiba XG5 256GB

Sorry picture quality is kinda shit, photos where taken with my phone.

Go Tomahawk... it's the best value of the bunch.
 
I really enjoy the aesthetic of the Steel Legend but the VRM and Power Phasing of the board is pretty much identical to the cheaper Pro4 kinda making it hard to recommend over the cheaper Pro4.

What budget/country for the rest of the PC? 

You're going to want an ITX system for something really compact, and I don't think it's worth selling your 1080ti even if you only have a 1080p 60hz display. The Fractal Core 500 is the case to look for since it supports longer GPUs and taller CPU coolers.

Ryzen has the best value CPUs atm, but I don't think any B450 ITX boards support the 3000 series out of the box, you need an older CPU to flash the bios.
 
If MSI has a B450 ITX board it might be bios flashing built in.

Reddit often has abusive and rude people producing unwanted content for a long time.

Hardware unboxed has tested using Vulkan for AMD and DX11 for Nvidia.  This makes sense because Nvidia performs better in DX11 in this game at least on current drivers. 
 
@BluJay614, you can add this to the opening post if you wish. Although the GPUs above $600 are excluded.

Well, we haven't heard anything from Vulkan since Doom (2016), so it's nice to see that Team Red is getting some love. I would like to say that I disagree with the claim that it's made NVIDIA's success obsolete, especially with the marketshare, lack of decent competition, and lack of implementation of Vulkan(Though the same can be said about RTX at this point, but I digress). Would also disagree that DX12 has made things worse, just in the beginning, there was no motive to utilize it the way it should. Now, it's more the way games are being marketed and the kind of bugs being found that are making them garbage.(We will not speak of some of the horrors that EA, Bethesda, Blizzard and the like have tried cramming down our throats)
Well now, ain't that something. At 1080, even the air cooled Vega 64 which start at $420 (if you can find one) is readily beating the ~$1100+ RTX 2080 Ti. Even the $279+ Vega 56 is matching the 2080 Ti in the lows, and is 11 FPS lower in the average, which would make it a smoother experience, at that that high a framerate, more people won't be able to tell the difference.
The story continues with the gaps closing, and NVIDIA gaining back the lead at 4K, though by a small margin. Still, even the RX 590 is putting up a fight against the much more expensive RTX 2070 at 1440p and 4K.
Well, while game was only just recently released, and does not seem to be getting the best reception, it does seem to be an AMD sponsered title, and use their open source API, which would give them the obvious edge, though this much at lower resolutions is a bit much.
 
Oh, I don't doubt for a moment that they will try to come back, should they deem it worthy. With the reception of the game however.... Well, only time will tell. Either way, a very nice showing from AMD, and something for Team Red to be happy about.

They beat Nvidia at other games as well, just not as readily. Not to mention, this is an example they finally get to show off Vulkan again, as only two games I'm aware of are using it.
 
 
it is great that competition is heating up, but I don't think that Vulkan and AMD are going to overthrow DX12 or nVidia anytime soon. Microsoft and nVidia have too much fight in them to let that happen.

Anyone ever thought it's not "this game is specifically optimized for AMD" but more like everyone else don't care to optimize games for AMD which is why it's so bad everywhhere else? I mean, for RX 590 to be hitting such high performance levels or Vega 56 even, you ask yourself what all other games are doing wrong that AMD is so much worse, but absolutely annihilates NVIDIA here... One thing is few frames difference, not almost low/mid end card going avgainst top of the line one...

More visibility in the fact that these are consoles powered by them would work, I definitively think it wouldn't hurt them to put in for more visibility in their overall deals with Sony and Microsoft.

Its a bit more than 2 games, though not as well known.
And many of tham are Linux Only.
 
Here a List of those Games that run on Vulkan:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan_(API)#Software_that_supports_Vulkan
 
Many (for example Ashes of the Singularity) are multi API games that support at least DX11.

The most known are Doom 2016 and Wolfenstein 2.
 
But the Talos Principle from Croteam was the first game to do that.
As said, Ashes of the Singularity got support in an update, as did Doom.
 
Lesser known is that X4 FOundation exclusively supports Vulkan.

I think it's price to performance at that price point within those budgets. I.E. it's equally worth it vs a 1070 in a $1,000 budget and a $1,500 budget and an even better value over the RX 590 in every budget. IDK exactly though lol. They probably said it somewhere in that video

I'd love to find any of these a the $70 price point, especially the fury or nano

No he needs to do the opposite. Censoring bad words, within reason, is a dumb practice. You never used to have to on Youtube but now with the ad friendly content you have to or you don't get paid. This is a form of censorship

I'd check out Z Reviews. I don't have a pair offhand that I would recommend.

Not to burst your bubble, but '8D' is fake, that's just 3D audio. It's easily imitated by getting a good pair of headphones and finding a piece of audio that supports multiple channels.
 
It is still pretty cool when done right, The Beatles' Here Comes The Sun comes to mind, it starts off by playing a guitar in your left ear and then slowly builds up to both ears, it's soothing.
