Nobody should upgrade now anyhow.....wait till Sept...

Hi,
Yep agreed
covid19 and all so no telling what type of delays nvidia and others will have releasing 30 series so I was pondering a used 1080ti/... just to get my other rig up again.

Hi,
Benchmarks sure aren't close 2080ti is a beast but yeah 1150.00 cheapest I see at micro center highest 1500.00 for ftw3 ultra.

That's the problem Benchmarks are artificial numbers at best actual game play res and Vram all come into play and simply put
11GB should be standard because too many VRAM intense games out there most triple A games max out round 7GB Vram so it only makes sense

Why would you want to turn your quality settings down when you paid for a $800.00 dollar card lol

Hi,
I wouldn't that's for sure that's why your finding was a big help for me
RTX alone is supposed to be a performance hit just for pretty reflections/...

We were talking the Extreme board ...not the Apex ....

Hi,
Extreme was never a option for me total waste of money but at least newegg puts them all on one page where as amazon all on separate pages.

OldMike65 said:

Only boards I like are the Apex ....same as you mike

Hi,
It's funny I probably said it before
That 770-850.00 extreme dimm_2 m.2 card uses cpu lanes or pci-e lanes
Apex is all pch so yeah pretty silly what asus did to the extreme on that dimm_2 card
