  1. Honestly feel like there's a lot of "I think" or "it should work like this" here. The reasons why most esport pros have low DPI isn't because it's what they are used to from an old cheap mice. Obviously that argument wouldn't hold up so well now that they have spent years++ playing on "expensive gaming mice" from sponsorships. Basically the only reason why they use low DPI is the competetive advantage you get. By having a low DPI of lets say 400, yes you have to move your mouse much more for the same movement at 1600 DPI, but again you gain much more precision. People who play shooters like CSGO and PUBG value precision and accuracy, moreso than the ability to turn 180 degrees faster.(also the reason why you see some players flick their arm so strongly to turn, because they have low DPI and need to move a lot for a 180) So by having a lower DPI you can have better control. That said having lower DPI doesnt make you magically a better player, it just has more potential.
  2. Personally have the Ubiquiti Unifi Lite AP with and edgerouter X. Both are supplied through a single PoE injector which is nice. Works wonders for me. That said I only have a 100/100 line, but I've never experienced any throttling of any kind even with multiple people over. Ubiquiti is damn stable, that's for sure. If anyone tries to scare you off that Ubiquiti equipment can be hard to setup/ use, don't listen to them. Sure it can be difficult if you want to make it so, unifi gear is usually great to work with if you need/want specific things, but setting them up is a breeze in my opinion
  3. It's not that they don't want to help you, it's just that you're not asking the right question basically. If you want to stick at 24" or even 1080p you should honestly get something like 24" 1080p 240 Hz. If you want to stick at 24", 1440p isnt that much of a gain. If you are sticking to 1080p, then you really shouldn't getting less than 144 Hz. Also 1440p 144hz IPS 24" screens are a rarity. They might not even exist(not sure about this) Also everyone is asking your budget. No magical forum poster is going to conjure a screen without knowing your actual need. You need a 20$, 200$, 2000$ screen? Tell us. Instead of people throwing out random screens if you give us a budget we can find a fitting screen. (also audibly laughed when I read that you have a 2080TI and you are looking for a 1080p monitor. That's like buying brand new rims for your Toyota Corolla 1998)
  4. I didn't list that alternative considering it might be a tad difficult selling the card. After the announcement of the new RTX cards the marketplace in my country is pretty flooded with 1080's. I could maybe sell it, but not for a fair price I would guess. This also means I'd probably haggle down the price on the 1080 I'm looking at
  5. I get that it's a better upgrade with a 2080ti but it's also a pretty huge price increase. Would like peoples input on whether having the SLI configuration would be worth my time. A 400 buck investment is quite affordable versus a 1400 one.
  6. Hiya. Currently I have a EVGA 1080 Classified. Serves me well, but I wouldn't mind an upgrade. I have found a 1080 classified out for 410 USD which is pretty alright where I live. I am aware of the possible problems with running SLI but I quite enjoy the looks and feels of having two massive cards run together. (Got the power supply to back them up and overclock if I wanted too). The new 2080 in my country is approx 1 000-1 100 USD, and the 2080ti is around 1 400 USD. I'm currently playing on a 1440p 165 hz G-Sync monitor. If I were to go SLI would it be alright usage of my money or am I fooling myself by going for SLi over a new gen card? (I already have the EVGA HB SLI bridge if it matters)
  7. I don't have a budget per say, it's more of a question should I upgrade or not. Is the performance increase worth the hassle of upgrading? I love tinkering and buying new parts but if the end result isn't that much of a big deal it renders it moot kinda. For example I had a Asus Radeon 7770 DirectCU and upgraded that to a 1080. That was a fantastic and unreal upgrade, but was expected. I don't expect the same kind of performance jump here, just wanting to get other thoughts if this "jump" is worth the money invested or if I should just wait more?
  8. Hey hey Just wondering what peoples opinions are on me upgrading my rig. Worth or not? As of today I have: Asus P8Z77-V Motherboard Intel 3570k CPU Corsair 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz memory EVGA 1080 Classified GPU EVGA GQ 650W PSU NZXT x62 Kraken CPU-cooler NZXT H700i NZXT 140 mm Aer fans x3 Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD x3 What I'm considering is getting a new trio (cpu,mobo and ram). I don't really know which ones to get. Been looking at 8700k, 8086k(for the novelty aswell), and Ryzen. I have no clear must buy, but I'm leaning on the thought of intel again. Currently I'm playing on a 1440p 165hz GSync monitor. Playing games such as WoW, CSGO, PUBG and the occasional GTA:V. The question is, is it worth for me to upgrade my rig? Is my CPU bottlenecking me that much? I haven't overclocked yet and I have a cooler for it but will the extra performance be enough for me not to upgrade? I've heard alot about as long as you have a 2nd gen CPU and above it's not really that big of a leap, but it's 5 generation improvement(3rd->8th gen). Also it's the forever burning question is it a good time to upgrade? How far long till' the 8790k releases and so on. Thoughts?
