Painted_Doll: No love for AMD ? :(
I've favoured AMD for most of my life, Bang for Buck they're usually the best.

But on my latest rig I stretched my budget and splashed out on a 1070. At that price range the 1070 gave better performance than the AMD in the same price range.

Spectre: The problem with those is that you need to go online to get or activate the shitty drivers that come with it.

I would also get some separate temp monitoring programs to keep an eye on it as if the program running the fans fails it will let the cards temp rise up to about 90c + before activating the fans properly.
I use MSI Afterburner to monitor and tweak my card. But thanks for the PSA all the same. Others who don't know need to know.

viperfdl: So what? Does your penis now feel bigger?
;p
And yeah, it was a little bit of a boast, but more a sharing off my elation at this. I don't feel like I'm better than all the little people who don't have the luxuries I have. ;) I mean, I really don't. I am just happy for my good fortune, and wished to share some of the good feelings.


And yeah, my penis did grow 2 sizes overnight in my mind. :P

I am wondering if you can try something out for me, in the witcher 3 there is the hair physx thing. can you do the nvidia 4k upscale option in the drivers and try the witcher 3 4k maxed out with hair physx on max? on my 1080ti I get 46 lowest on 4k with everything on max setting, and was wanting to know how different the 1080 is at the same thing.

On my desktop rig, I got a GT 430.
Yep, 7 years old GPU. Works like the first day I used it. Never felt the need for more (well, almost never) and considering how fast I could get my hands on a cheap second hand later gen gpu, I wonder at times why I never did it.
But thing's this: I don't want to fix what ain't broken.

Anyway, grats on awesome present - you wife surely knows what you want.
It'll will last you an eternity (the time when its capabilities are not enough for a home computer is still a long road ahead).

Bah! My future GTX 3090X will leave that one far behind. I just need to get into some money to afford it first and Nvidia needs to release the card as well, maybe in 2020.
