Oh well, he’ll be back to spending and defending soon enough. He always does.

Hi sorry for the late reply, I suck at internet at the moment, just busy :(
I am getting an Asus 2080ti for this, mainly for VR and poo poo, looking forward to getting it done now, it's been a rollercoaster of nerdmotions. I got to speak to their buyer about the issues with AMD supplies, it's been a major headache for them getting the faster CPUs, but I am in no real rush :)

That's awesome. I picked up a regular old 2060 on account of being space-poor. It's a fine card and I don't really need anything more powerful since I don't have a VR setup and the most demanding game I play right now is uhhh Destiny 2 but I still look at those shiny 2080 set cards with a little bit of fomo lol.

It's funny because A) it seems like the only thing they can make lately is weird helmets and B) it loving enrages about half of the fans who want their idiot space arcade game to be capital s Serious

2060's are awesome, I don't think you're really missing much, I am just a turbonerd. I'll probably buy Battlefield, go 'oooh' at the ray tracing for an hour or so to justify the purchase :v:

Yeah I want to get a VR setup at some point but it's about the rock bottom of my priorities list for now. I do like the 2060, and I might stretch for the 2070 when it comes time to upgrade my wife's (borat voice) computer a bit. She's on my old GTX 970 which actually holds its own remarkably well for being ~5 years old. Which begs the question "Well then why did you upgrade to a 2060" to which I can only answer "I'm the kind of person who backs Star Citizen"

She recently announced her hiatus is over and she will once again return to the business of producing SC content for her channel! (This is like the 6th time she’s done this in the last few years, so I assume she’ll give it a month or two of effort and go silent again like she so often has.)

CIG cut off her access to employees not long before Ben’s departure. He was her advocate inside CIG for a critical stretch, hence that glorious run of great Sandi (and occasionally Chris) interviews. But as Ben’s power declined so did her access. Now Boredgamer is their most favored “journalist” and Batgirl is just another once favored now half-forgotten streamer.

I think her lack of access has much to do with her lack of motivation to create content. The last bit of news she broke came from last year’s Citcon. She was escorting Sandi to the bathroom and Sandi was telling her about CIG’s big secret plans for 2019. (CitCon in October, then secret SQ42 launch in December!)

That “inside scoop from Sandi” spread around like wildfire (even the great Montoya had to clickbait a video about it.) And of course it was total bullcrap — although I think Sandi actually believed it at the time.

Anyway. I think Batgirl will be stuck in this loop until the end. It’s kind of sad because she really did produce the best SC interview archive ever. And her work will have enduring historic value long after everyone else’s is deleted and forgotten.

Reminds me that I need to choose a new GPU to replace an aging 980 strix in my old rig. I should probably upgrade the old 6600k too, but it seems to still do the job.

Any GPU suggestions anyone?

It depends on the resolution and frame rate you are targeting. Something in the GTX 2060 range (or AMD equivalent) will get you max settings at 1080p and 60fps and is even good for most games at 1440p. A 2070 would be a little more future proof for 1440p. For 4K and/or higher frame rates you’ll need a 2080 or 2080Ti.

I burnt out in Burning Crusade so never played Wrath at the time, I have such great memories (I was guild leader of 600 people and loved it, but man it was a lot of work) and a lot of the old guys are playing, I'm gonna dip into it, some of them I've known so long - we even did the whole guild meets which were awesome, no one talked about WoW at them, it was just a massive party and people came from all over Europe, really fun times.

Imagine my SC vids but in Wow, I just used to do poo poo like that, organising death plummets from the Shatrah lifts, dumb stuff but funny to me :v:

I'm not too fussed about all the 4k stuff, 1080p is plenty detailed for my knackard old eyes these days haha, although saying that, I do have other upgrades to do a bit later on down the line and my 1080p monitor is definitely on the 'upgrade soon' list :D Thanks for the excellent advice Colonel, good stuff to think about :)

Yup the 2070 super is basically a non Ti 2080, and the prices while still not cheap are good for what you get - 1080p will be a cakewalk for one and 1440p in the future will be fine too :)
Nvidia have sort of shuffled the product line up, so 2070 super is what was a 2080, 2060 super was a 2070 etc, pretty much.

Edit: GPU bottlenecking is a thing though, so hopefully your CPU is goodish

CPU is a i5 6600k, so if I go for a 2070 super it'll probably bottleneck like a knotted knob, but I'll be changing the CPU, RAM and monitor out in the new year to something a bit more upto date. :)

I'm probably upgrading my pc in totally the wrong order lol :D

I usually upgrade every GPU generation and CPU every other generation, but as I said earlier I am a massive nerd for shiny new hardware, it'll be fine with that CPU, you'll be maxing out stuff no problem!

I used to love upgrading pc's, I did the same as you and alternated between GPU and CPU, I sorta stopped 5 or so years ago and lost track of how far and fast the tech has advanced hehe :D
