one-armed dwarf Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I mean you're not going to get your money's worth if that's what you mean, the Asus card will be a bit better. But a 'bit better' in this context means that it will run 5 degrees cooler (which is good, but still). But anyway that thing will sell out soon so I guess make your mind up if you want to be on a waiting list or spend £300 to get something in the next fortnight or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spatular Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 In normal circumstances if a card is more expensive itll probably be better but at the moment could it be £300 more just because its in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 If it was me I'd say fuck it and pay the £300 extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Throwing an extra £300 at the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yeah, it’s dumb. But I feel like my only options are too pay extra or scale down. And I don’t really want to do either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 under normal circumstances this isn't the solution I'd suggest, but why not get a gaming laptop for about £1k. It'll last you a few years, and you won't have to deal with all the rest of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'll offer a counter suggestion and say gaming laptops will be disappointing. They overheat very easily as they often aren't thermally equipped for high spec gaming. As much hassle as PC gaming is laptops can be very limiting. But it all depends on needs. I got rid of a PC once cause I was moving around London constantly and it just wasn't suitable at the time. Like if that's a big factor then a laptop is a better choice. But also I know someone who had to keep quitting FFXIV during the summer cause the heatwave made the framerate so bad. Which seems annoying and not a problem I had on desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The interesting parts are 3080, AMD Ryzen 900, BF something motherboard, 1TB SSD, another Nvme but I can’t remember what. The website is kind of crappy but if you click around you should be able to find everything here (If you can be bothered it’s a very awkward website) https://www.scan.co.uk/wishlists/3e25e39a-ae4a-4749-9a94-3e5607293434 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
