Hello, world!
Finally was able to snag a 1080 TI. The piece de resistance for my build, last thing I need. Sure I had to overpay, but at least the nightmare is over, even if I'll have a headache for a few days. FTW3 for $919 when I'd only seen it going for $1100+. Thank you Newegg! This means that it's FOR SURE that the Volta/Ampere release date will be announced tomorrow.
Yes this is Post Numero Uno on my account! I was thinking I'd type up 100 posts for elite status but... Eh... I'll buy my way in for next time. I've been an EVGA fan for years, but I only get to build once every 4-5. It's been 6 years since I'd built my last rig. My wife upgraded hers 2 years ago or so, and I thought her 980ti was EVGA, but she says it's BFG. I can't find the box so... idk. Latest things I can find the box for were a 750 ti (currently powering my 9 year old rig that I gave to my sister, her kid uses it to play Burnout, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft) and a power supply. I don't keep a lot of product boxes (limited space in the computer junk storage area), so I was amazed to see a few of them. I also found her box for her old Geforce BFG 7800, with the card still in it. Tiny tiny fan heatsink combo! Ohhh the good old days...
Anyway, maybe I can purchase my wife's next video card with elite status if the mining craze is still going 2 years from now when she builds next.
