Sorry to you both.



Edit: tactlessly going back on topic, 1080 Ti will be 699, 11GB GDDR5X, GP102

Damn, that's really disappointing it seems.

RX Vega won't be until May which sucks, but 8GB and 16GB HBM2!!! Finally.

NDAs lift tomorrow for Ryzen benchmarks and everything else.

I'm currently in the middle of a build, but I'm waiting for ryzen to come out!!! Want to see testing, Intel prices drop, etc.

My bro works for Intel and can get me a great deal, but their 6-8 core processors are still insane $$$ with discount. May go with Ryzen 7 1800x 8 core from what I'm seeing price wise. Not sure if it can hold the 16gb of G. Skillz ddr4 3200 memory I bought though...

The only important thing is how it performs in games (for the price). I'm not upgrading until I see all the options, though.

I used to think the saying about "they live own through you" was cliche. After losing the most influential person in my life last October, I can finally understand the phrase.

Sorry to hear about the lost.

The 1080Ti is $999? Don't feel so bad about my Titan XPs @ $1200.

Hope VEGA brings these fckking prices down. Jesus.

Edt: Nvm that was a bad article. It is $699. This is an awesome price.

It should still run it.

May not be at 3200 right away though.

Thought I saw the AM4 boards supported 2133, 2400, and 2667 right away.

UH, correct me if I'm wrong.

ILikeLSUToo, Sorry to confuse.... I meant to say if Ryzen MB's over clock that high. It will still run at lower speeds to clarify.

Ryzen supports 3600MHz out of the box, the cheap motherboards are the ones that need a bios update for faster speeds.

Stick to the Asus Crosshair or MSI X370 offerings and you'll be fine at 3200MHz out of the box.

Wonder if I can keep my water block if I go AMD. I am guessing XSPC is going to push their new Raystorm Pro and not sell AM4 brackets for the old Raystorm.

Good to know. Not that a $50+ block would be a deal-breaker on this probably $2,000 upgrade.

Might be a while before they actually sell at that price. The old 1080 is also dropping to $499.

I'll wait for the 1080ti to actually be around $699 and then I'll pick one up.

Well, I still got a 4770K and a pair of 980s. CPU upgrade would mean CPU, mobo, and DDR4... But I may stick with a single card. Not sure yet.

Ryzen reviews are live and they are glorious! Matches, beats, or comes damn close to the 6900K across the board. Nice.
