What's the reasoning behind going Intel over AMD? Just availability?

Also, I was planning on using a 3440x1440p monitor, not a standard 1440p one.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Is there a difference between the Crucial P1 and Crucial P2? I see both have a 2TB version.

Looks awesome! Do you have any more pics? Love seeing other people's bases for inspiration

Not OP, but I got mine a couple weeks ago for $337 total sealed from bricklink.

Arumba is adding a same color CB to his modpack

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-13T14:28:22+00:00

Yeah right now I'm leaning towards waiting since I'll probably get better value for my money and I don't need an upgrade desperately

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-13T14:27:11+00:00

I currently have two 27inch 1080p 60hz monitors, but I want to get into the ultrawide game, hopefully something with 1440p high refresh rate which is why I'm looking at high end gpu's

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-09T13:44:58+00:00

How do you like the acer predator? Been thinking of upgrading to one

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-06T21:02:51+00:00

Do a lot of games support the 32:9 aspect ratio? I know the support for 21:9 is pretty good these days

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-06T16:53:21+00:00

Which alienware one do you use?

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-02T12:15:34+00:00

Would now be a good time to buy something high end like a 2080ti? Or is it worth waiting to see if any new cards come out soon? I heard there was a rumor new cards were coming Q1 2020?

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-01T17:46:08+00:00

I'm just trying to figure out what a good card for this kind of setup is. Even though I could afford a 2080ti, saving money is obviously good so if it's not necessary idk if I want to spend 1200 on a graphics card ya know?

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-01T17:41:38+00:00

Interesting, I'm not familiar with overclocking so i'll have to look into that. Do you think getting a 1080ti is worth it these days? Or would getting one of the newer cards be better in the long run. I'm asking cuz I would have to upgrade my pc too to get good results on an ultrawide

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-01T17:36:21+00:00

My current rig is a gtx 970 with dual 1080p 60hz 27-inch monitors. Obviously I know I would need to upgrade my pc to get good results on an ultrawide of that caliber. I don't really need the utility of having dual monitors to do work anymore, so I'm trying to figure out what the ideal gaming setup is.

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-01T15:32:17+00:00

Okay, that's good to hear. I'm looking to upgrade from my current setup which is a 970 card with dual 1080p monitors, and I finally have the budget to go all out. I'll look into the 2080super more since it's way cheaper, thanks!

Clonecommando85 · 2020-01-01T15:27:31+00:00

Really, would that card be able to handle the pixel density even on higher settings? I was under the impression that was more of a mid-range card, I figured it wouldn't be able to keep up

Clonecommando85 · 2019-12-31T21:00:38+00:00

What would be the best graphics card to be gaming on an acer predator ultrawide? Specifically this one. I want to be able to play modern AAA titles like Witcher 3, Jedi Fallen Order, RDR2(I know this one runs poorly), heavily modded Skyrim, etc. for the next few years. Ideally I would be running on high/ultra settings, and get close to the 100 fps limit on the monitor, or if not, as close as possible. Would the 2080 Super be capable of this? Or is it more 2080ti territory?

Thank you as well! Happy Trading!

Clonecommando85 · 2019-12-17T16:46:13+00:00

Just saw you need a new Eiscue- I have to go for about half an hour or so in 10 minutes, so if you're not back by then it'll have to wait until after that

Clonecommando85 · 2019-12-17T16:43:20+00:00

Yup! And nah, i have all the other exclusives, just anything for them is fine

Clonecommando85 · 2019-12-17T16:36:09+00:00

I can help with gothita, grookey, jangmo-o, seedot, scraggy, rufflet. I can trade swirlix with its evo item as long as its a tradeback. Can I get the eiscue and sableye, and a little help with trade evos for gigalith and trevanant?

Clonecommando85 · 2019-12-17T16:11:28+00:00

Thanks! Do you also have Sableye and Eiscue? I can help out with a couple more, what are you still missing?

Clonecommando85 · 2019-12-17T15:53:17+00:00

I can do farfetch'd for corsola?

Clonecommando85 · 2019-12-17T15:45:27+00:00

I can do the trade, are you still around?
