Look at that. Essenbe is trying to go after Doorules and Vellinious scores with an EVGA 1080 TI FTW 3 SLI setup.

Have you ordered your water block yet?

essenbe · 28 Mar 2017

Nope, I'm not sure I will or not. Don't worry about me winning, I've never won anything.

I've been really disappointed in my standings in some of the benchmark threads lately, but help is on the way.

pparks1 will be here soon to tell us his 1060 is all he needs and sees no reason for this card

Anyway good luck on the new toy. Do let us know how it performs once you get it. If you want, you can ship it to me to take a few snap shots of it as I test it out for you

Hey now......

My 1060 is fine for me. I don't care about setting records in benchmarks. If people want to spend their money in order to get the best score, more power to them. I just hope people are gaming rather than just trying to figure out how good it could be if they game.

Evga is my brand of choice.

@pparks1, I have been known to play a game occasionally.

pparks1 · 28 Mar 2017

I certainly hope you game at least 90% of the time you use your pc

Why else would we constantly chase the upgrade path if not for bench numbers

Gaming is secondary. Beating your competitor in benchmarks is pure bragalicious

Yeah, I just want good bang for the buck. I don't chase benchmark scores. I have to many other expenses. Kids, new roof, new furnace and hvac, and dance classes. Pc stuff comes with whatever is left.
