Hello Evga people
It´s been awhile since I have post something on here, and haven´t bought any comp parts lately. Except GPU and a new case.
But it is time to buy some new gear and get ready for twenties. And specially finally need to install Windows 10, so I want to make really clean install with all new parts in it.
 
So, atleast first going to buy Intel i9-9900k with Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero motherboard. 16gb Corsair memory. Corsair H115i RGB Platinium cooler for CPU. Samsung 500gb Evo M2 for bootdisc.
 
OK, those will come first, but then I want an upgrade to GPU. Even thou I love my Strix 1060, being damn cool and quiet card, I want and miss something from Evga inside my case . So been thinking of EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC ULTRA. Now here is a catch too, cos I want new monitor also. Asus 27" ROG PG279Q IPS 165hz is on the top of the list. Or maybe it is that I want that monitor and I know that I need a new GPU then
 
OK, let me know some expierences with that Evga GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC ULTRA. And how big boost compare to my old GPU?
 
As an farther not that much time for serious gaming. My gaming is pretty much; Heroes and Generals, CIV VI, Football Managers to name a few. ... And also waiting to get my hands on Borderlands 3 and RDR2.
 
Thanks
 
 
 

While we're at it, have a look at the HP EX920 and EX950, you can get into the 1TB versions of these drives for about the same price as the 512gb 970 Evo Plus.  The 1TB EX920 is actually just as fast as the 512GB Evo plus while being the same price, the 1TB EX950 is a bit faster and $20 more.  The 2TB EX950 has been as low as $250.

Kevinc313,
Thanks for the replies. I will stick to 2070, cos need to stay inside my budget. Already got a bit higher with the monitor. It is 144hz (OC165hz), no need to overclock that. I love my Dell monitor, but it is made mostly for my photographing. It is only 60hz, and noticing a "lot" of input lag with it. Surely I would like to have 2080, but like I said, I will buy GPU later, so who knows ;)
And I have had 2 FTW gpus before and love them, but in this case, cos I will not overclock my card, I think that Ultra will be enough or, maybe if had some more budget earlier in the next year, then it is 2080. Thou then I would need a new PSU :D
 
About gaming, most important for me is Heroes and Generals that we play online with friends. With my current set up, i7-2600k at 4300MHz my FPS were around 90-120 yesterday. So will see pretty good jump on those numbers with 9900K.
 
Those Corsair memories are 3200MHz with CL16, and so far every Vengeance memory that I have used have been fantastic.
And, yeah about m2, I was also looking Intel 660P 1TB that is actually same price now with that 500gb Samsung Evo.

Hey happy to help, can only offer my own two cents.
 
I think you'll find it pretty hard to push 1440p144 in the most modern games, it's pretty equivalent to 4K60 on the GPU, but with more CPU demand.   Personally I started with a non A-chip 2080 and it could not hold 60fps 4K at higher settings in most new games, so I went for a 2080Ti hybrid and maxed it out with good fans so I could run max power at reasonable temps.  If I had do do it again today, I'd definitely buy the 2080S FTW3 Hybrid if I could get it under $800.  With an overclock and good cooling, it should be right in the mix with a 2080Ti non a-chip at stock clocks.  The 25% gain I get vs. that with the maxed out 2080Ti is not worth double the price.  You'd need at least a good 650w PS for the 2080S FTW3 with max power limit.
 
3200CL16 is middle of the road and better than the memory I'm using, but most people running 144hz and loading up their CPU's are opting for 3200CL14.  You may not need it though if the 9900K itself provides enough power.  Not sure exactly how the pricing is on Corsair memory but I'm pretty sure G.Skill is considerably less, especially for b-die.
 
The Intel 660p is a good utilitarian drive, but not fast at all compared to the latest drives.  The speed is definitely noticeable on Win 10 where it is constantly going to drive.  Definitely check out the HP offerings.
 
It sounds like all of this is a bit overkill for Heroes and Generals, but hey, forward compatibility. I've been playing a ton of Minecraft Java 1.14 recently and my GPU doesn't even get out of bed.

(removed for language). I just ordered Asus Asus 27" ROG PG279Q IPS 144hz -monitor and EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Super XC Ultra Gaming.
Happy to get some EVGA in my case again. It´s been best customer service ever and happy to join the family again

 

What the hell just happened? Moderators, can you delete my post there? I can´t delete it or edit it. I was supposed to only copy and address for photo and all **** just hit the fan

Deadly mercury,
yeah it could be the image itself. Maybe it didn´t took the lightshot url at all :(
Damn, but I can´t edit or delete that post.
Send messages to few moderators.
 
But hey, the GPU atleast looks damn beautiful :D

not sure what's going on with your photo link.  I tried to post it for you.  Try again.  

Enjoy your New parts

About Evga Precision X1.
Is it really that I can´t use it with Win7? How can I change LED colours in other way?

System Requirements

• Supports GeForce RTX, Geforce GTX 16 Series, and GeForce GTX 10 Series Graphics Cards
• Windows 10 64-Bit
• Windows 8 64-Bit

Cool GTX
You have Nvidia drivers for your Card & Win 7 ?
 
You can try to run X1 ..... I've not tried it under Win 7 ... I run the older EVGA Precision XOC on EVGA 10 series GPUs w/ Win 7 Pro 64-bit
 
XOC was Not designed for the 20 series Cards ... so, backup your drive & test it if you want to

Yeah, I have the latest drivers for the card... and Win 7 64-bit

Great, thank you for sharing your Results

Sweet
 
Yes, Nvidia Boost 4.0 will automatically boost the Card to its max based on Load, Watts & Temps ... OC software can help get every last drop out of the card
 
 
Run GPU-Z while Gaming and look at the sensor tab to see what is possibly hold your card back ..... "PerfCap Reason"
 

OK, trying to add photo again, and hopefully it doesn´t mess up things again
 
 

OK, seems like Precision didn´t work perfectly.
First, yeah I could change colours, but when I went to gaming, it was like vertical tearing in the middle of monitor. But actually missing a few lines of pixels. When reboot comp, colours change back and picture looked perfect again. SO I will try it again, when installing Win10.

... and Win 7 64-bit

Def look into obtaining LTSC.  The only version you'll be satisfied with if you're a diehard Win 7 user.  Support ends soon.
