I would wait until the new generation Radeon comes out. They are supposed to be a huge bump up in performance.

Yeah rumour has it the top card isnt releasing this year due to amd focusing on suppling sonyand xbox with their custom socs. The second best card is rumoured to be between the 3070 and 3080 for $549

I've switched to AMD. Been sick of paying so much $$$$$$ for Nvidia. Over $1000 for the top Nvidia cards. I paid less than $350 for a 5700 XT and I'm getting 160 fps in 1440p in COD. Pretty spectacular for a <$350 card. I'm like that though....

I recommened the 5700 to a friend a few months back at $279, really good price to performance. Flash a 5700Xt vbios and then use softpowerplay tables to make it boost higher so its actually faster than a stock 5700XT now, just nipping at the heels of the 2070 super at almost half the price with an overclock.

Certainly wouldn't blame you for that. I've always liked the value proposition of AMD compared to NVidia. But I like the raw power of NVidia's cards more. I play at 1440p, but I love to crank settings to the max and most of what I play are the AAA graphically heavy hitters. I like to know that I'm not just hitting the 60fps target, I'm crushing it on the minimum frames. What some gamers don't realize is that the average fps capability is good, but they won't quite see that silky smoothness if the minimum frames hit like 40fps. So I just brute force that with NVidia's raw power lol. Call it the offset of money expenditure for the amount of money I'm not spending in audio. While I can't justify spending $1500 on a new IEM, I can absolutely understand why some people would do that, but be confused at why I'd spend $1500 on a GPU. It's all about different priorities.

At the start of 2019, I was going to spend $1200 on a pair of iems then i suddenly had a double take. I was going to spend 2080ti money......on an iem?

Thats when I knew I had become so desensitised to the point where I considered $1200 to be a fair price for an iem.

And so i decided to retire from head-fi, get myself a nice laptop and get dive into the tech enthusiast community. And boy was it like when I first joined head-fi. So much to learn, try and experiment with.

It was really a breath of fresh air.

The days of pc,s. Remember them well. Been swallowed up by the Apple For the last 10 years. Once you crawl in to it’s warm comforter of no options or thoughts, you get lost in its sedation of any what ifs. It really dumbs one down to just thoughts of which way does this plug go again? This side with the squiggly sign on it?

Windows has been my platform of choice because of its compatability. Too many applications and games simply aren't supported on Mac.

It's all preference. I'm getting 160 fps With all settings on high in COD MW. I do get some fps dips to 94 but that lasts for only a second. Really great card for $350.

Audio is a different story though. I'll spend much more on good audio gear than on PC parts. It all lies in what you deem important.
