Yes, I do love the color to look at. Though it’s a pain to photograph and get the same exact shade consistently due to it’s shifting nature that makes it so visually pleasing.
3080 looks kinda cool, but I kinda don’t care/it doesn’t seem worth it to me anymore. My Vega 64 does mostly fine (got it ass handled by horizon zero dawn, but still seems to be an exception) so I think I’m def gonna wait another generation.
I might take the plunge, solely for Cyberpunk 2077, but I’ll definitely be waiting for partner cards, with that cooler’s total disregard for CPU tower coolers.
Edit: It’s really going to depend on what the benchmarks state.
I got a 1660 Super when I rebuilt my setup with the expectation that I would replace it with something better for 4k from the new lineup this year. Now that I’ve seen how good it is I’m not sure I’ll upgrade so soon anyway
Either way, I wouldn’t settle on definitely buying an Nvidia 30XX yet. I expect AMD’s new lineup is going to be very competitive, if not better, especially in the midrange.
Hmm seems like that cooling system would be great for an N-Case build? I’d have intake facing the bottom which has airflow and then exhaust out the back and into the cpu fan which also would push it out the side and back?
That’s a gaming chair, not a sim rig…
