If I can go, my family gets a sweet deal on rentals, so I'd try to get a van (so we'd probably be able to pickup people w/in like ~30mi radius of Richmond). However, given my new job starts on the ninth it may be a little tough to squeeze in the time for the con. We'll see ;-)

I wasn't arguing with you on this. I literally agreed with you in my original post. Lol.

Totally misquoted me here.. Firstly, that's literally saying that the 1080 is better; which I go onto say later is. And secondly, I literally quoted that from someone else.

Take this from someone who has a 1060, 1440P gaming would be an utter stretch.

Though is this really a good idea for 3D modelling/rendering? Sure you'd get by, but..

Yeah, it also appears that there's a fair amount of similarly priced 1080s (to the 56s even) as well given all of the mining. Can't argue on this one.

Yeah, also I missed the ryzen 1700 somehow. A Vega 56 actually wouldn't be too bad of an option imo. Though given this build is centered on cadding, afaik autodesk and solidworks just seem to run better on nvidia based computers. Thats just my experience at least.

I'd be inclined to go with the 1080 as well, the difference between the two cards in capability will be huge as far as I'm concerned. Though, I think the most important thing here would be what your actual budget is and what parts you're already set on.

Agreed. --- Oh btw, @SageOfSpice sorry for originally failing to credit you for the pic. Was just about to edit this post as he replied. Great job on it btw.

Enough already! You know what? Despite all this bickering here we still don't have any hard data on whether or not Haste actually helps with gaming or not. Just a few highly prejudiced testimonials that don't actually let us into what improvements/losses actually happened over the service. Also just throwing something out here, this is a tech forum. I'd say a good 60% of us, especially those in the FPC have internet connections far faster than the US's broadband definition (25/5). Which may lessen the effects of Haste, but still kinda furthers the pointlessness of the service since we'll likely be the ones to buy into it anyways due to a fairly big bombshell... It's not free. So, just to give it the benefit of the doubt here's what I plan to do with it... I'll trial Overwatch, TF2, and L4D (correction: My bad, it seems I somehow missed that this only works w/ OW and LoL. So that's $10, TEN WHOLE DOLLARS every month for miniscule benefits in just two games; at this rate I may as well just gift FPC memberships to three of you; lets put it this way, if someone cant afford a good connection, how can they afford this? Nevertheless, I'll keep up with my promise and give it the benefit of the doubt anyways) on my home internet connection (200/10 - Comcast) and a satellite based one in the middle of nowhere (RIP my grandparents metered 50GB connection) while the trial period well, is still there and update you guys on my findings. If anyone would also like to lighten the load for me and chart down their findings that'd be great too. ...Please, anyone. Now before I actually do anything, I myself am insanely skeptical. Regardless of what route we're taking, aren't we still adding latency to get to Haste's servers and get a response back for a good route? Wouldn't this have to be determined by an algorithim which would in effect add latency there in and of itself. Basically, I see exactly this... But at this point, I think I've seen everything. So might as well give this a go. Image Credit: @SageOfSpice
