    Probably a bit tbh that's a powerful GPU and that's a pretty mediocre CPU. I'd recommend super sampling to bring your GPU performance more in line with your CPU performance. It'll make your games look better and anecdotally, should reduce stuttering.

    I've been away from the hardware scene a while, but I'm looking at getting a Valve Index to pass the time during Corona season off a friend who's selling his, and I'm looking at getting a GPU upgrade to keep up with it. Are there any worthy upgrades around the 500-700 CAD range?
  3. Zeitec
    Then make him give you a slice for being such a great friend and giving him such amazing advice.

    Doesn't really matter. They perform more or less the same these days, which is to say neither run triple A games from the last 2 years outside of turning everything down to the lowest and seeing what you get. That said 7770 does consume a good amount less power, so if it's an OEM machine he's upgrading that may be worth looking into. If it's a new PC don't get either and just run integrated graphics. Integrated graphics on the 2nd and 3rd gen Ryzen cpus probably perform around that level anyways in modern games just because of the outdated or optimized drivers from both the 7770 and 560. Spend the $30 on a pizza or something.

    If it were me I'd just go 2060. No sense getting a 3.5 year old card that'll lose proper driver support in the next couple years when you can get a one year old card that performs just as well for only 8% more money. I don't know seems like a no brainer to me.

    Depends on whether or not you're running 4k. If you're running 4k you should probably be fine (at least for a while). If you're running 1440p 144/120hz or 1080p 144/120hz (if you're not running one of those idk why you got a 2080 super) then yeah you're really gonna wanna upgrade that CPU. It's not going to be putting out 100+fps these days. $500 including shipping and taxes wouldn't be that much of an upgrade over your 4790k tbh. You're probably looking at something like a 3600x and a low end X series motherboard and 16gb of ~3000mhz ram. Yeah it wouldn't bottleneck a 2080 where your 4790k might a bit, but really I think when you replace your CPU RAM MOBO core, you should expect to at least get one GPU upgrade out of it. I'd save a bit more to get a 3700x and a bit faster ram if it were me, and make sure you have enough slots to upgrade the RAM later.

    750ti in VR will run like a dog who just has 3 of hit legs removed and not replaced with wheels. Don't do it. My 780ti, which is like 3x as fast as a 750ti, really struggled in vr. 750ti would be a nightmare You also can't use SLI with VR. Games don't support it.
  8. Zeitec
    Do whatever you want but dude, they won't run well. Again, do whatever you want, but even my old 780ti struggled to run some games and 780ti is over twice as fast as 750ti. I'm sure some games will launch, but it will feel extroardinarily bad. edit: Oh yeah and VR doesn't do SLI.... IIRC 750ti doesn't do SLI anyways though.
  9. Zeitec
    No way of knowing requirements. That said, if I had to guess, if you try to play with RTX on with your 1080ti then yeah you're gonna be getting 1080p 30fps. But you should probably be okay for 1440p 60hz, although probably not 144hz at reasonable detail settings.
  10. Zeitec
    Pretty sure there aren't any 6 cores with HT on Z270 boards, but I may be wrong. But your average AAA title in 2019 absolutely uses more than 4 cores. I mean you can see that the 8700k is faster than the 7700k at the same clockspeeds because the additional cores help.
  11. Zeitec
    For 4k 60hz I'd grab a used 7700k and a 2080 or 2080ti. For 1080p 144hz max settings, you'd need to scrap most of your build because no CPU on that socket can handle 144fps these days. You would need something like a 3700x or 9700k for 144fps and a motherboard to match. Then go get a 2080ti. If you go intel, also get a Noctua NH D15 while you're at it.
  12. Zeitec
    Yeah, but in this case it's true. 1070ti to 2060 super makes no sense. It's like MAYBE 10% faster.
  13. Zeitec
    Borderlands 3 definitely, and it should play Cyberpunk as well, just at low or medium if you're amazing for 60fps.
  14. Zeitec
    I have a 1080 and honestly nothing on the market from a price:performance standpoint has me even remotely interested in upgrading. Sure, 2080 is a lot faster, like 30-40% faster. It also costs a lot of money. I'll personally be interested in upgrading when I can get double the performance for the same $700 CAD I payed for my 1080.
  15. Zeitec
    Dude if you're having problems just RMA it. Also the card just came out, how is it possible that it runs out of the 17th?
  16. Zeitec
    2080 is about 5% faster, has a bit less VRAM, has support for RTX and is a bit newer so it'll probably age better. That said I'd probably take a 5700xt over either at this point. 2080 is like 60% more expensive and is like... maybe 10% faster. Not worth it imo unless you really like to play games with RTX.
  17. Zeitec
    SLI is old and sucks balls. That said no single card can do 4k 144hz comfortably. I'd still take a 2080ti over 2 2080's though. I mean truthfully needless to say 4k 144hz will take all the graphics power you can throw at it, so the sky's the limit. If you want 2 2080ti's, they'll be utilized about as well as they possibly can be.
  18. Zeitec
    I mean BF3 is a 2011 game. The best GPU around that time was GTX 580 I think. I'm pretty sure 950 is pretty close to 580.
  19. Zeitec
    If it were me I wouldn't go faster than a 2060.
  20. Zeitec
    2080 is ~5-10% faster in modern games, and with next gen consoles supporting ray tracing I'm betting on RTX being a pretty big deal within the next 12-18 months if you plan on keeping the card that long. Already many games are supporting RTX.
  21. Zeitec
    1080ti is the fastest of those in non-RTX games 2070 is the fastest in RTX games. Get whichever one you think will suit the games you play and plan on playing. With the next gen consoles all supporting ray tracing I think it's likely RTX will be a big part of gaming around 2 years from now. If you plan on holding onto the card for 3+ years then I'd get a 2070.
  22. Zeitec
    From what I've heard basically every "super" card is basically jumping a tier up. 2080 Super = 2080ti, 2070 Super = 2080, 2060 Super = 2070.
  23. Zeitec
    Looks like a solid 1080p or 1440p 60hz build. If you're at 1080p you'll probably be find for a good 3 years. If you're at 1440p I'd start looking at upgrading that GPU some time in 2020 or maybe 2021. CPU should last you a good 5 years though. Maybe a mid life ram upgrade to 32gb around 2022 if you find yourself limited.
  24. Zeitec
    For high settings yes. Don't expect ultra though. If you want ultra you'll need a 1080ti or 2080.
  25. Zeitec
    980ti is more or less equal to 1070. Both are about 35% faster than RX 580. Stock 980ti<1070 (stock or OC)<OC 980ti. Therefore given 980ti is both the fastest and the cheapest, you may as well get 980ti.
