    Nvidia 3000 series

    So NVIDIA's 3000 series comes out real soon. The cheapest one announced, the 3070, will have msrp of 500 dollars and is faster than the 2080ti. The 3080 for 700. I was going to get a second hand 2080ti when the new gen came out but if these things actually sell for msrp I'm going to buy a 3080 on the 17th. NWP user BetCheckBet has a 2080ti. The 2080ti will go down in history as the worst graphics card of all time to have owned

    I actually agree 2080ti overpriced plus runs too hot I got mine for basically a gift though. Don’t even notice much of a difference between my 2080ti and my 1080. I still say best bang for buck was the 970. And best budget card was the 650ti.

    Also at work we just got the secret lab titan and omega chairs. I don’t know how they stand up long term but as of right now like them more than my dxracer chair. Definitely worth looking into.

    Has anyone picked up crusader kings 3 yet?

    Do you think there's a 'break in' period on the secretlab chairs? I sat in a brand new one once and I wasnt impressed, but later was told they're better after some butt time. I couldn't justify the price based on the way it felt out of the box but if it improves with a moderate amount of use I might reconsider.

    ive emotionally committed to getting a 3090. its going to be either best in slot or holding its own against best in slot for the next 5 years or so.

    forgot to mention that because of the gpu market a year ago, i aimed for high refresh rate 1080p and now the people of Israel are also forcing me to buy a new monitor. after a lot of hemming and hawing I have decided on getting a high refresh rate 1440p ULTRAWIDE to replace my 2 1080p panels. that's gonna be another roughly 6 hundred dollars. because of the 3000 series hunger for power I have already ordered a new 750 watt PSU to replace the 600w one i bought less than a year ago. another 120. so yeah, I just have to invest 1420 more dollars into my 1200 dollar computer and it will shit all over your 500 dollar xbox series x

    I've only used them a little but I found that I preferred their features as they were nice for other causal activities like lounging, watching TV, rocking, etc. I admit though I've only been using racing style chairs for the past 2 years, before then i just had the typical office style.
