Damn, they look to be around $100ea. Way more than I thought

RX 480 8gb are going for that much too, which is even crazier.

I'm tempted to keep the 780 tis just for those sexy arse reference coolers

They are hot cards. Suck a ton of power. So would think the blowers are pretty loud. Idk because I never used the blowers, always had them on blocks.

Fun fact. The GTX 690 and OG TITAN are mostly magnisium so it gives them a cool finish. nVidia went cheap with the 780 Ti and the finish isn't as cool.

I posted the article here years ago and trying to find it again. It's a cool read.

Phones on 4%, will find and post.

Edt: That seems like a decent price though. Only concern is it being 3+ gens old. nVidia treats old archs badly in driver updates. They are pieces of shtts when it comes to that area.

Yea this isn't going to be my main PC thankfully. Just seemed like too good of a deal to pass up

I may throw it in my TV stand and use it there instead of my steamlink, or piss my GF off and put it at her place

I'm thinking of grabbing a xeon 1660 v2 to throw in the build instead of that 3930k

It's only $120 for that xeon on ebay and I could probably sell that 3930k for $75+

I was butt naked in the tub relaxing. (Seriously)

Got out to go dig in my closet. Have backplates too.



Edt: they are 980Ti blocks or OG TITAN(780Ti) blocks. Pretty sure they are for the OG TITAN / 780 Ti though. Etheir way I can thing up the right blocks. They are in my computer room closet somewhere.

Looking at old pics they are OG TITAN blocks. My 980 To blocks are full cover.

I'm going to stay away from the custom loop. I'd spend a lot more on getting the parts for the loop then the actual build itself

I always play with either:

A. Headphones so I cant really hear any outside noise
B. My soundbar and sub so loud I can barely hear after

I play my PS4Pro with it right under my nose.

Fan noise was an issue until I started using closed headphones. Open headphones sound better and are comfortable but you can hear everything.

So stuck inside gaming? Poor you.

Dourdon are you OG from Knoxville or just Tennessee fan?

I'm going do some training in Knoxville for a week starting around January 31. Should be pretty, I'm excited.

Not sure if I'm going in the game are just headed home right before. I will be in the city during the morning no doubt.

I'm ok brother. I did all that shtt.

I remember in 2009 calling my Grandparents crying from outside the hotel door because I spent all my savings. Something like $5,500 in 2days. That was a lot of money for just starting to work 22yr old me. Well did it again but even worse for the Saints/LSU weekend in 2011.

I have a little wiser now.

AMD Gonzalo with the codename 2G16002CE8JA2_32/10/10_13E9 could possibly be the APU that powers the next-generation gaming consoles from Sony and Microsoft. At this time, it's not clear it's based on the Zen+ or Zen 2 architecture. However, Brad Sams, Executive Editor at Thurott, said last month that Microsoft's Xbox Scarlett will come equipped with an AMD Zen 2 octa-core processor built on the 7nm node.

AMD Gonzalo purportedly features eight cores with a 1GHz base clock and a boost clock in the range of 3.2GHz. Sony's current Playstation 4 Pro employs a semi-custom AMD chip that tops out at 2.13GHz, while Microsoft's Xbox One X flaunts a slightly higher clocked part at 2.3GHz. If AMD Gonzalo's reported 3.2GHz boost clock speed is true, the APU will provide a very substantial performance improvement to the current generation of consoles running AMD SoCs based on the Jaguar architecture.


Damn, 3.2GHz boost 7nm Zen 2 cores on the next gen consoles would be quite the jump.
