What's the cheapest way to thunderbolt 4 eGPU + power delivery + USB hub?
I'll diy my way there if it's required
I'd do m.2 if the cable was detachable

thank you for changing the 3060 to a 1080p card that thing cannot hold up any game at 1440p. 144 FPS at ultra settings or NOTHING

retard consoomer

does it matter what variant of 3080ti i get?

you won't get consistent 144fps at ultra in new games even with a rtx 3070

3090 or go home
just dont go to starbucks for a couple months boomers

>3090 or go home
imagine getting this when 4000 series are on the way. peak consumerism

This, unironically. Look at how the top tier cards do with these old ass games, struggling to go above 100 fps. You'll be playing at 60fps in the next couple of years.

imagine being a waitfag kek I bet you waited until 18 to have sex or 21 for your first beer.

>waitfagged on the AW3423DW when the premier ordering thing leaked
>monitor officially releases
>now I get to either wait 3 months for one to arrive from dell or pay 2.5x MSRP to have one now
I should have bought and scalped them too.
NEVER waitfag.

New stock of Gigabyte 3060 Ti (3 fan) hit Newegg, cheaper than the usual of anyone's interested
I already got my MSI Ventus

>$1,300
Wow that thing costs more than my PC
Curved monitors are pretty gay too ngl

degenerate confirmed

it's not like we're spoiled for choice with QDOLED monitors.

you only live once

>doesn't show if 3090 can handle these.

Stop shilling a dead card. If you want to go all in at least go for 3090 ti

What do you guys think it's the likely culprit? Sadly I dont have another computer or GPU to test.

Exactly. Also modern panel technology is fucked. You get way more input lag / bad response time at framerates lower than 100 fps. You have to have 144 frames no matter what unless you have a TN panel or CRT monitor.

Ideally wait for 4000 series or go 1080p.

Age

Obviously, I just want to know what to replace first if I can help it.

Go for Asus Nvidia GPU this gen If you can

my system gets around 100-130fps at 4K with 3080ti in World, what the fuck is this graph

>pay $200 more for a shitty locked down tuf card or pay $500-$800 more for a strix card when MSI/gigabyte cards have similar performance for way less
Lol

>locked down
what?
The recommendation actually is from the buildzoid entire Ampere PCB analysis

Whichever is the cheapest. If they are all the same price, I'd go Asus>XFX/Sapphire/MSI/EVGA>Galax/Palit/Gigabyte/Asrock/Zotac>Powercolor/Pny

i'd start with the cpu/mobo/ram
prices are currently quite reasonable and you're (over)due for replacing them anyway
go with the standard 12400/16 or 32gb ddr4/b660 combo
(if you don't already have an ssd, throw one of those in too, nvme gen3, 1tb)

ideally, this will allow you to wait for a couple more months before replacing the gpu as well, by which time gpu prices will hopefully have improved further still
and if it turns out you needed to replace your gpu, well though luck, i guess
in any case, any decebt modern gpu would be bottle-necked by your current cpu anyway, so no money was wasted

do make sure to get the non-f 12400, with the igpu
this way you can still use your pc if you can't afford to replace the gpu immediatelly
