Sell or collect

Done watching various 1080ti reviews.

Welp, I'm sold on the 1080ti.

Titan X Pascal and GTX 1080 Ti build on the vanilla 1080's excellent performance, adding the additional overhead required to get the job done on a range of the latest games. It's possible to enjoy full native 4K resolution with 60fps gameplay on the likes of Forza Horizon 3, Battlefield 1, Gears of War 4, Titanfall 2 and Watch Dogs 2 with only minimal tweaking - and the experience is nothing short of epic.

Copped the XPS 15 9560. Gonna throw Linux on my old Vaio and try to still get some use out of it. Any opinions on Ubuntu or Mint?

I sell on Craigslist at a great competitive price so it goes quick.

What else am I gonna do with older parts store them and collect dust?

Upgraded to a sony 4k tv. I prefer tvs over monitors.

It had good ratings for monitor use on rtings.com and it has pretty low input lag(33ms).

As a monitor? Wall mounted? How close are you to it?

What do you guys do with all your old parts?

Sell, but I have a system sitting right now that I may make into an htpc. May need to figure out a video card situation.

I used the wrong terminlogy. I meant the other way around. I use my pc like a console. So I have my pc hooked up living room style and sit maybe 5ft away from it.

I wanted to do wall mounting years ago with my 1080p tv, but I didn't want to invest in the time to learn how to do it.

[jewelknows]

^ Nice iYen! I was thinking of selling my RX480 and upgrading, but realized how much I actually game. The investment wouldn't be worth it.

 

[iYen]

Giving it to my bro. Family eats first.

Thought we were NT fambz


Already bought a GPU anyway. I'm just like Jewel. I don't ever game anyway and just bought a 1050 ti for the bare minimum stuff.

Ryzen 5: April 11

strict gaming comparisons with ryzen 5 and i5 will be interesting.

Was expecting June so I already bought everything I needed for an i5 build 

I'll feel like this if rx vega turns out to be better/cheaper than the 1080ti.
