I'll upgrade when the same is available in 4k. I bought it when it was new so paid about $850 for it. You could probably get a new one around the 500 to 600 dollar mark now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a new version called "zowie" and it's $750. Screw that. Farken graphics cards and monitors man, they cost so damn much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to keep up with the times or you lose out. You need to keep them in business, so go buy one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $1150 for my card new and when they stopped selling in stores they were going for $650. I have an aftermarket gtx980Ti that oc's like a beast, scores better than a 1080 and within 5 to 10 percent when a 1080 is oc'd. I'll upgrade when it dies lol.

I change the cpu, motherboard and memory every 5-7 years. Graphics card gets done every 2-4 years. the 26" Screen was on my desk for around 4 years and then thought the predator looked the goods. Hopefully both screens will be on my desk for another 6 years. If you going to buy a good screen, make sure you have the graphics card to back it up. the only reason I went with the predator screen was my gtx980. It is an expensive hobby, but not as bad as the XR6T......... that has burnt a big hole in both my pockets and I am still recovering from that. The misses still isn't talking to me...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
