Still have my 1070ti from 5 years ago, won't change it it until 2025, probably.
Which card of the 4000 series you have?RTX 40-series. I upgrade every generation.
Hi, dad. I'll take an upgrade each generation as well. High mid-range will suffice. Thanks, dad. <3RTX 40-series. I upgrade every generation.
Knowing Nvidia, they absolutely will be overpriced.Rocking a 3080 and it’s amazing. No issues running any of the games I play at 1440p 100fps.
PC is my main platform so will probably look into getting a 50XX card when they drop, unless they are absurdly priced.
i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHzWhats the exact specs? Curious
People still use sound cards? What's the benefit of a sound card these days? And yeh, I am being serious. I never ever see or hear anyone talking about sound cards anymore.i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz
16 Gig memory
GTX 1070
1 TB HD ( I regret not getting a SSD instead )
Sound blaster Z ( installed separately )
600 Watt PSU
RX 590, don't think it's on the list.. Anyhow had a cool 2 years or so with it running 1080p 60fps, some game weren't available at 60fps or not even now like Sunset Overdrive and i had alot of fun but now with PS5/XSX i hardly use it, tho i do want to try Kingdom Come Deliverance to see if it can hold 60fps while looking decent as i never finished it on PS4 and it locked to only 30fps on consoles.
I use a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD. Sounds better than onboard audio and also has various outputs that my mobo doesn't have like RCA style stereo outputs.People still use sound cards?

PayPal me some cash please - so I can follow in your footsteps and preach your name to the GPU gods.4090. Always buy the strongest GPU when they start a new generation.
It isn't
But this doesn't mean it isn't fine enough. But some games (like Jedi survivor) will murder any CPU, my 5800x3d isn't always above 50fps.
On topic: Ada Lovelace - 4070
I had 7600GT, 8800GS, 6850, gtx480, 7970, gtx680, GTX 770, 290X, GTX 980ti, GTX 1070, RTX 2060S, RTX3070..... RX5700XT, 3060ti, RX6800, 4070

Absolutely. Sound cards are a million times better than the trash sound on motherboards. It's night and day.People still use sound cards? What's the benefit of a sound card these days? And yeh, I am being serious. I never ever see or hear anyone talking about sound cards anymore.
Yes, I believe you can vote in polls after posting 50 messages.Does anyone know why I can't vote on polls? Is it because I'm still a new member?
Thanks for letting me know.Normal people love to talk about their kids and pets. Gaffers love to talk about their PC builds lol
I have a 3080 with a Ryzen 5600x CPU. Got it in late 2020. I play on a 240fps/1440p monitor and I can usually max out games and get at least 60fps Before the 3080, I had:
2012-2015: GTX 650m laptop
2015-2018: GTX 970
2018-2020: GTX 1070
I'm looking to upgrade again once NVIDIA offers a respectable price-for-performance card, so who knows when that'll happen.

gtx780, whichever gen that gpu belongs in.
You must buy shit cheap motherboards. I bought a dedicated sound card and yeah over the board I had at the time (a £100 board) it was much better.Absolutely. Sound cards are a million times better than the trash sound on motherboards. It's night and day.
For example. Using a sound card I hear sounds in music that I never knew existed. The clarity, the highs and lows etc. are so much better in every way.
Also If you are running high end sound equipment a sound card is mandatory.
Personally I don't see how people use generic motherboard sound and be ok with it.
Of course everyone has different preferences, to each its own.

Upgraded to a £300-400 board and the onboard audio was better. Got rid of the sound card. My current motherboard (again in the £300-400 range) sounds better than my old one.
I do agree if you have high end gear or doing music work then get a sound card but for most people the onboard audio is enough. If you buy cheap boards and care about audio you should just use the money you'd need to spend on a sound card and get a more quality motherboard. You can go from a £100 board to a £200-300 board depending on what soundcard you were going to get and that's just basic internal cards.
Plus in my experience sound cards can cause issues. Getting rid of it reduces potential problems. My sound card was literally unusable when I was using Linux. Even the drivers on Windows were old and buggy.
