Yeah even with that the guy wanted to much, just kept my monitor and bought the 27 Omen for $300 (what the guy wanted) from Walmart.

G Sync is amazing on 1440p.

Anyone have any longterm success with OCing a monitor? My biggest concern is shortening lifespan.

How well did they overclock? And did you just go through the nvidia stuff or use a different program?

So much for having to wait a year for a 2080ti...

Boutique sellers like Digital Storm and MainGear are already taking pre-orders for systems with the 2080ti expected to ship around the 20th of September.

AMD CTO: 'We Went All In' On 7nm CPUs

quote:

AMD is betting big on its 7-nanometer processors, going so far as to move up the launch date of the technology, said CTO Mark Papermaster.

"We knew 7nm would be a big challenge, so we made the bet, we shifted our resources onto the new node"

"I think we do have the opportunity to be positioned much stronger than we originally anticipated," Papermaster said, "but I have to say our original plan was to be positioned very strongly, so any delay from our competitor could simply strengthen the value that AMD brings to the market."

As for AMD, Papermaster said the company's 7nm processors will see an improvement in performance and energy efficiency, the result of moving the chip's transistors closer to each other than AMD's current 14nm FinFET process node. The practical effect is that 7nm processors will provide "double the performance per watt of energy expended in a previous node."

"That's significant," he said.

"In reality, these are two companies that both have undeniable strength, and it's just very refreshing that there is competition for the CPU again, and it's spurred an arms race that our customers are really benefiting from," he said.
