Looked at prices for 4000 series cards, decided that can fark right off, so grabbed an ASUS RTX TUF 3080 ti OC, a new case and an extra SSD for game installs. Opted to not upgrade CPU and mobo at this point, since Raptor Lake was nearly out when I pulled the trigger...plus CBF reinstalling Windows right now. Also picked up a 49" Samsung CRG9 Super Ultrawide monitor - 'tis glorious! Pics 4 Keif: Edited 06/11/22 09:33 AM by .Stripes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can appreciate them, but since I also use this for Audio recording and it therefore sits quite far from my desk I opted for a cheaper and stealthier case and parts.

I started out looking at doing the upgrade using my old case, then cracked the chits and bought a new case - zero ragrets. Monitor is great - really immersive for gaming. I've got it mounted on an Ergotron HX monitor arm. It's a clamp style desk mount. You can see it mounted on the back left of the desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTX 3080 ti OC was $1600, which was a damn site cheaper than they’d been for the last year or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
