Worth the wait and weight?

MSI GeForce RTX 2080 TI GAMING X TRIO Video Card
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 TI GAMING X TRIO Video Card

Pros: In my opinion this is the best 'out of box' 2080ti available. Some people love the looks while others hate it. I personally love it. The RGB lighting looks real nice and they don't really show it off enough in the stock product pictures. Is this card worth it? well I jumped from a 1070 to this 2080ti and I could not be happier. If you are playing games at 1080p then definitely skip this card, its not for you. But anyone playing at 1440 or higher will love how this thing handles. I am currently on a ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q 1440p at 165hz. In CoD4 on my 1070 I was averaging about 70-80 fps. Now I am averaging 180 fps. So far I don't have a reason to overclock but I know I will once more demanding titles show up (maybe once the ray tracing is finally turned on).

Cons: -HEAVY! So heavy that if you stand your computer upright (which most non-serial killers do) you will need to use the supplied sag prevention bracket. This brings us to the second con... -The sag prevention bracket is SO ugly. I hate that I have to use this thing in my rig but it is what it is. -Requires 2x 8pin and 1x 6pin power connectors, make sure you have this ready before it shows up -Also this card is YUUUUGE, make sure you have the room in your case.

Overall Review: If you have the money, get this card. I set alerts on this card to notify me once its available but it usually sold out in just minutes. I used a site called nowinstock (google it), this sent me an alert via text message that was much faster than neweggs alert email.

Pros: Quiet for the amount of air these things push.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: The led's on these fans are extremely bright. I have 5 of these inside my machine and they could almost light up my whole living room.

Excellent Monitor!!!

Pros: This is a fantastic monitor. The picture is crystal clear and had no dead pixels. Even though the screen is 23" it still does not seem to take up too much real estate. The borders are very narrow which makes it look compact. Very light-weight monitory.

Cons: The power button is sort of awkward. Hope someone got fired over that button. The stand is fairly flimsy. I always feel like im going to knock over the monitor when i press a button but that doesnt affect the functionality AT ALL. As everyone else has mentioned... the sound on built into the monitor is terrible. You can throw away the speaker cable the moment it shows it at your door.

Overall Review: I recommend this monitor 100% to all gamers.
