Dang that’s awesome that you can fit a 4090 in that. Good luck, looking forward to the complete project

I finally managed to get a 4080, open box MSI Ventus 16Gb RTX for $999 then opened a new card with my bank to get $200 off my first $500+ purchase.

I'm sort of surprised the 4080 wasn't that much bigger than my 3080, however it does take an additional slot so it's fatter. I guess the Ventus is one of the smallest 4080's too.

Nice. I was tempted to start looking at 4080's, but I have temporarily convinced myself that my 3080 is way more than enough since I just play at 1440p. If I truly need to upgrade anything, it's my 10700k.

I think my plan is to just wait 12-18 months, the 50 series cards should be releasing in that window, and I will build a brand new PC when they launch. I think I can wait til then. What is really going to drive me to start a new build will be when GTA VI and Arma 4 have official PC release dates.

On a side not, I finally enabled HDR on my newest monitor. I've never used HDR before, and I am pretty sure this monitor isn't considered amazing at it, but after getting used to the less saturated look I have really become a fan of how HDR looks. Some games looks significantly better and more lifelike. Switching it off again in Red Dead 2 last night made it clear how ridiculously saturated that game is by default. I can't believe I used to think that much saturation looked fine.

Brother built a new PC a month to a month and a half ago. Everything was working good, was proud of him for finishing one. Now hes getting what I think are the symptoms of a bad graphics card. A red noise/square pattern on the screen sometimes, taskbar glitching out and windows flickering on startup.

Thankfully GPUs aren't that bad to RMA.
