My long awaited GTX 1080 finally arrived today!


Just installed it and remove my place-holder GTX 750Ti ... ran Witcher III for a couple mins, ran everything maxed out at a perfectly stable 60 FPS. Will post more photos and updates once I'm done testing a couple things.

Super psyched!

Update 1 (27 june 2016):
----------------------------

This Steam summer sale left my wallet destroyed, so here's some newly bought stuff I plan on playing on the new GPU whenever time permits
- Far Cry Primal
- Witcher III + All DLC
- AC: Syndicate (had this from early days but the 40ish FPS on my 970 was a turn off, now I with glorius 60FPS on 1440p, it'll be a treat


Wishlist:
Tekken 7 on steam (gah, another 6 months of wait or more)
Next Kabylake i7, so I can say good bye to this 4790 and jump on the water cooling / ddr 4 bandwagon with a full upgrade
1080Ti, of course xD the more FPS the better
2x 4K screens. I got the 2516Ds earlier this year and they're the best quality screens you can buy but in 6-8 months, with the next crop of 4K screens, I believe it'll be worth the upgrade once they iron out all the issues with the current 4K monitors

Update 2 (28 June 2016):

Firestrike 1.1 score for this card with an i7-4790 and Got 14,800 which 3dmark says is better than 90% of all results.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
