Would you guys prefer a 4k monitor or 1440p & 144hz? I am leaning towards 1440p with 144hz just because I feel like the smooth 144 fps just looks better than 4k running at 60hz. Need to make a decision on which one to get for this game.
Okay what do you make of this https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/03/03/here_comes_vulkan_the_next_generation_of_the_opengl_graphics_api/To correct a misunderstanding, Vulkan is not an OpenGL / DirectX hybrid.
Yes.That is kind of part of the point. RT can be faked where it's pseudo-RT. Even if it isn't it doesn't sound like there is one size fits all approach to apply it to everything you may see in a given scene or game. While I do not know it to be absolutely true, intuitively I'd expect this to mean there is some variance to how it is applied. As an example, it may be applied to a type of object in a certain game but not others (by object I mean type of surface). One game may make the proverbial "rays" bounce three times vs another making them bounce twice. Those differences in application in the game itself, regardless of whether the hardware can handle the demand or not ("RTX" card or not), would presumably change the result.
Marketing tends to omit these finer details. It's more like they're saying you need to buy X because it "supports" ray tracing, no other technology can do so, and you'll get a fully ray traced super awesome graphical experience. It doesn't appear to be that simple. It's relevant when it isn't that simple. It would be like buying a QLC NVME drive. Yeah, you started out in a Mercedes. Then the cache got full and your fancy car transformed into a wagon with a three legged horse pulling it. Find that on the spec sheet.
If you have the money then definitely go for the 2080 ti, it's a much better card. Also i would never buy a pre-built computer, you save a lot of money by building it yourself.So you think a build around RTX 2080 is a way better option and the upgrade to ti isnt worth it ?
Or even go to a 2070 for a much more price friendly build?
Thank you
Build it yourself. "Building" a PC basically consists of taking parts and mashing them together. It shouldn't be intimidating and is often cheaper compared to buying pre-built systems. Provided you use compatible parts and observe proper safety there aren't many ways for it to go wrong.What is better?To customize a build from a website like ibuypower or to buy specific parts and install them myself?
Hard to say with the game months away. In general it's best to take a wait and see approach with this type of thing. Until official requirements are released it's at best a guessing game.So you think a build around RTX 2080 is a way better option and the upgrade to ti isnt worth it ?

I have a few reasons though, mostly because I have a G-Sync monitor from ages ago and want to take advantage of it still and also I was lucky enough to snag the founders edition very recently at RRP would you believeRX 5700 XT, especially custom models is roughly on par with Nvidia GTX 2070 Super.
Wow that's a nice monitor and very affordable for what it has, thanks for sharing.Yeah, Gsync is causing a lock-in problem. Though I expect it to decline in usage, due to Nvidia finally starting to support standard variable refresh rate (adaptive sync), so probably most display makers will simply stop making Gsync models, and make standard VRR that works with all GPUs, like LG already did with LG 27GL850-B.
VA: + best blacks. - slower responseMonitor is Philips 278E9QJAB - IPS, curved, 27", external psu, 75hz refresh rate - not 144 but not 60 either. 1080P, sounds like trouble but in reality there's not much of information loss even in CAD. For games, see below. All of this for around ~160$. There's acer with VA - is there any benefit to use VA panel instead of IPS?
So you say VA panels have more "natural" palette? Budget VA monitors are good too?Strongly recommend you don't go with a curved 27". Keep curved to 34" and over 21:9 monitors. I wish this stupid curved 16:9 monitor fad would die. Some decent monitors ruined because of this. Unfortunately it sells.
