Right, I'm more likely to snag at 1080Ti than one of the new cards at this point.

So you will buy a 1080ti for $750 when you can buy a RTX 2080 for $800 ?

I wouldn’t upgrade, 1080ti is awesome on a 1440p monitor. What are you gonna gain? Maybe another 20fps?

I haven't even looked into the price of a 2080 but if I were to snag a 1080Ti, i'd want one used for less than $750. As I said earlier, i'm good with what I have unless i'm blown away buy a deal on one of the newer cards.

Well yeah if I was doing a brand new setup I would go for the newest card but the question was if he should upgrade from a 1080ti and that's a hell no from me.

So the Radeon 7 that is out now, don't quite live up to the hype. Mainly because AMD released this card with no drivers for this specific card. Therefore the press people were experiencing blacks screens, freeze ups, system reboots, etc when they tried to play certain games. AMD however know about this already from their own internal testing, but they wanted to release this card for the Chinese New Year.

Re: Official &quot;I want to build a New PC!&quot; Thread

I don't want to get a new laptop, but I'm starting to feel like I might have no choice.

Late last year one of my keys stopped working, and now lately it's been basically freezing (but mouse still moves,though I cant click on anything). Nothing triggers it, it just suddenly happens. The laptop is almost 8 years old now so its bound to need replacing at some point.

I've thought of reformatting, but not sure about it. I have files scattered everywhere that I'm sure I'll probably forget to backup something. And have programs I probably won't get back either since I don't have the activation code for anymore.

Does reformatting remove everything? Any advice?

If the moose is the issue why don't you just use a plug in mouse and keyboard

The mouse is fine. I meant my laptop itself freezes.

I can boot in safe mode just fine, though my antivirus doesn't open in safe mode. Weirdly enough, it opens just fine when I regularly boot up my computer.

Re: Official &quot;I want to build a New PC!&quot; Thread

It's not supposed to open in safe mode

8 years man time to move on. Technology has grown too fast to have something that old

I mainly kept it cause I like windows 7. Been my fave OS ever. XP second. It's why I never opted for that free upgrade years back. It wasn't a high end one either($400 or so Lenovo one), I never see use in getting high end stuff where I won't use most extra features. Surprising to think a $400 laptop has lasted this long at as high of a performance as it has been.

All my programs not carrying over is my main concern about getting new laptop. I don't have activation key so I probably won't be able to use any of them on a new computer. Only once before have I had to transfer things on a computer and that was when I moved my desktop stuff to my laptop. Hopefully process is easier now vs back then.

Probably should go after an 8gb RAM laptop. I had 4GB on my current one. Probably would take forever figuring out which laptop to get. Brand being probably the biggest thing I'm not sure about.

Fam get with the times. It's okay to move on.

You cant be using an 8 year old laptop as your main machine on 2019.

Ever since I got a tablet I've used my laptop way less. Don't even use laptop some days anymore. I'm probably getting a new tablet eventually too, once apps get too new for it.

What are best brands to look for in windows laptops? I'm not doing any gaming on it. Mainly just web browsing and streaming videos.

For that it almost doesn't matter

I'd stay away from Asus though. I've seen those conk out too much.

Old reliable brands

HP
Dell
Sony

Sony probably most expensive

Would you put Lenovo in that category too?

I mainly got it because I noticed it was cheaper but specs like ram,harddrive, processor were similar to more expensive brands. I don't think they were as big back then in name recognition.

[23]

Re: Official &quot;I want to build a New PC!&quot; Thread

Yeah if the specs are cool

Nothing less than quad core

A good amount of memory and ram

Future proof as much as possible so you won't be buying another next year
