Man, I wish I was on the same cycle of many of you others. Saying I'm holding on to my 10XX would sound real good right now, considering the prices.

Yeah, I got my 1070 two years ago for $350 after taxes ($450 Canadian)... Still pretty happy with that. If you're looking to upgrade I would wait for these cards to come out and then try to find a good deal on a 1080 Ti.

@sanity: Crap, I was planning on getting one of these with a 4k TV purchase in the near future as well. That isn't even something I considered. So what does this mean? Will PC still output 4k on TV just at a low refresh rate or what?

HDMI 2.0 doesn't have the bandwidth to do 4K 60hz and HDR without chroma subsampling (which makes text on PCs look blurry). This isn't a big deal if you aren't using a TV as a PC monitor or you don't want HDR.

For those of us that do, it's a bummer. DisplayPort can do it and HDMI 2.1 which will probably be available some time next year.

Thoroughbreds - 3/5

Good acting and characters, contrived ending.

The Spy Who Dumped Me - 2/5

Good for some laughs, but pretty stupid.

@sanity: Those BFGDs do look cool but even they won't be able to handle 4K 120hz HDR without chroma subsampling. I'd be fine with 98hz and full 4:4:4 but, yeah, those things are going to be expensive and huge; 65" is too big for me.

The more information that leaks about these cards, the less interested I am. I was looking forward to starting my 4K journey but now I think I'll wait for HDMI 2.1 TVs to be released first, since these cards won't even support it.

With the only information not available yet being price, they could really only win me over by being cheap... and that's not going to happen.

@justin258: I was wondering what was leading them to them to favour the 2200G as well...

Also, you can get a Ryzen 5 2600 for only $15 more than the 1500X if it's in the budget.

Since you already have the 760 I would recommend using that paired with the 1500X. I think the 760 is faster with it's only hindrance being that it's not exactly modern hardware anymore. The 1500X will be better in CPU power alone.

All I know is these things better be able to do consistent 4k/60/Ultra or I'll be bummed out. Been waiting too long for a card that can deliver that so I can jump to 4k. Until then, it just doesn't make sense to me to make the jump to 4k.

Yeah, if they didn't prioritise 4K on these cards then they fucked up. Games are always getting more demanding and 4K TVs are pretty much ubiquitous now.

Leaked specs on the 2080 Ti look promising but the 2080 seems lacking when compared to a 1080 Ti which, in previous generations, it would at least be on par with.

I want that feeling of getting a new card and maxing everything out at the highest resolution... I want that HDMI 2.1 also, and the potential for a 4K 120hz 4:4:4 HDR display.

Fucking finally. $25 is a steep price for years old DLC, but at least this stuff is finally available in an easy-to-access form.

...but I own the Steam release of ME2, not the Origin release, and I don't own the PC version of ME3 at all. Anyone know if this will work on the Steam version?

I would not think the Origin DLC works with the Steam version... You can legally download the DLC from HERE but less legal means are required to validate it in game.

@charongreed: The digs on Dan, before he was at GB, are the best part of that clip.
