I get coil whine while gaming with Asus 1080 Ti. I'm not sensitive to it, and I'm using headphone while gaming. It goes away after I close the game.

Yeah, inside the case, not any louder than 4 Noctua running at full 1.5k RPM

So issit the CPU or TB3 which is bottlenecking?

If not can't sell with 1660 Ti selling at RM1.2k

USD700 GTX 1680 Ti... XD

The RTX 2070/2080 are proved to be overprice at release last year by looking at their Super edition pricing right now. They can make the 2070 faster than the 1080Ti, but no they just want milk their fans until AMD comes out with a competing product.

Same here. I even recommend people to just get the 1660Ti if they are buying a new rig for 1080p gaming.

I heard people can get 1080Ti in the range of RM1.2-1.6k in Carousell Shopee. That sounds like a no brainer.

I agree with you, definitely not plunging hard earn money for OP 2080Ti EVEN if I have a 4k 120hz set up.

I bought mainly for the SP, but that's just me. Some of the multiplayer mode are fun, but TDM is just not my cup of tea. And I don't think it is the best game to showcase RT, I'm blown by the graphics without any RT.

The graphics in MP looks notably worse, so I'm back to setting everything a notch lower after finishing SP to get higher fps in MP.

pay RM3000 more for a 2080 Ti and get 16 more fps than a 5700 XT.

It'll be too obvious if they gimp the cards on the old games. They can definitely gimp it on new titles IF they want to just by optimising game only for the RTX cards. I do agree with you they don't gimp anymore at least for now.

agree, we'll see what does 30xx series bring to the table for RT performance.

I heard that's the game engine limit, you hit that 300fps and the game will stutter. Of course I do not play enough or have powerful enough rig to test it.

What? No... My monitor still function the same after the update. Heck, it opens up my upgrade path to AMD GPU while keeping my monitors!

Alright-alright, no upgrade path for my current monitor to AMD GPU, but still, my current set up still doesn't lose anything. I will still make the purchase if I knew about this 3 years back.

They'll whip out their 3080 Ti the moment AMD RX 5900 XT is faster than Nvidia 2080 Ti.

Agree, the 3070 is just the 2080 Ti at RM2400.

In terms of gaming, anything AMD Ryzen will only be a side-grade for you. Heck, you're already rocking a HEDT.
For other people who wanted to build a new PC and actually have limited budget, AMD Ryzen is the better choice in 2020. It's amazing how great of a value you're getting with the RM850 Ryzen 5 3600, paired with a RM450 B450 motherboard.

Yes but depending on the games you play. Techspot revisited the slow Ryzen 1600 and "gaming" i5-7600k, while the i5 still beat the Ryzen in a lot of games, but there are some games which take advantages of more cores/threads on the 1600, which is bottlenecked by the i5. I know they use 2080Ti.

So for games like Battlefield V, you'll see improvement even your GPU is 1070. Then again, just upgrade your GPU first, you'll definitely enjoy the 1070 with your i5 for a while!

You seriously didn't think I'm recommending him a Ryzen 1600 right?
