I dont do much foruming these days outside of TD. Reddit is cancerland for stuff like hardware, so I never look through those subs.

GTX 1080 tis are now as low as $500 on hardwareswap... Looking mighty tempting to SLI

Anyone looking to sell off their PC to upgrade? I’m looking to get back into the PC gaming community.

Damn, should have bought a caselabs case. They're going out of business

Well that is a shame. Looks like they won't be able to fulfill all orders either. Makes for a good political headline since they're blaming the tariffs.

Although, isn't Thermaltake selling knockoffs? I wouldn't mind a smaller modular case. I am considering a downsize next time I do a major overhaul. I'm gaming so little now that I can't really justify a multi-GPU setup. The older I get, the more money I'm spending on boring grown-up stuff, like a new patio and carport.

Yeah that made me sad.

I have a Merlin S8. Nothing else like it.

I won't be building any time soon so I am just a spectator now.

Yea 2080s aren't interesting if coming from TITANS or 1080 Tis.

So tired of this Little and Big release stages since Kepler. Hopefully a TITAN releases sooner. Midrange cards are a joke.

Yep. Especially since they're going to release a 2080ti a few months after the 2080 release

You sure about that? I thought they didn't release a 1080ti until nearly a year after the 1080 was released.

Close to it. 1080 was May 2016 and 1080 Ti was March 2017. I think it was a similar timeline for the 980 and 980 ti, maybe a little less.

If the price is decent and I'm still within the 3 month trade in for EVGA, I'll swap for a 2080

Has the mining craze died down or is it still messing up GPU prices?

Died down. New 1080s can be around 450

So I'm thinking of trading my U2518D and a little cash for a PG279Q only thing is the monitor has a spot




The guy says it's completely invisible when playing games and movies but noticable on a white screen. Never really seen anything like it, doesn't seem like a stuck pixel to me. Was seeing if anyone has had this issue before?

I think that's a dead pixel and I think you can fix it.

Dead pixels are rarely fixable... You're a luckily few if can get it fixed
