I'm tempted, but I'm not sure I want to spend that much money on an "also ran" GPU.
I've had my eyes on 4090's, but the cheapest ones I've found are selling for $500 above MSRP which is bullshit.
Also, have you guys seen what EKWB is charging for some of their water blocks these days? :oops:
Seemingly everyone wants in on the overcharging nonsense.
The full cover waterblock for my Pascal Titan X cost me $119 if I recall. $420 is just stupid. You'd have to be smoking some quality 420 to think that is worth it. That said, back then you had to buy the backplate separately. At least now it is included, but still, that doesn't come close to making up for the price difference.
Now I haven't read up on EK's fullcover GPU block product offerings since ~2016, so I don't know what the difference is betweenthe $420 version and the $280 version is, other than disco lighting but both are seriously overpriced. Yes, there has been some inflation. No there has not been over 100% inflation.
Also at $270 we have the "pro" version, which looks more reasonable to me, but has a very weird inlet/outlet location at the end of the card. Still, crazy overpriced, but at least it looks less stupid (apart from the inlet/outlet location)
Hopefully Watercool Heatkiller V blocks will be more reasonable, but we don't know yet. They have announced them, but there are no pictures or pricing yet. The oinly doewnside is that Watercool usually has fewer varieties. As of right now they have announced a Founders edition version and an Asus Strix/Tuf version. With how hard it is to get a hold of any of these GPU's at all, looking for a specific version that matches the available water blocks seems kind of impossible.
This shit is just ridiculous.
I was just joking around because the brand is Biostar. I'm sure you have no plans to spend any amount of cash on a Biostar product.
Good gawd.
Is... is that a fake website? That's just a joke right?
Yyyyeeeeaaaahhhh...
I mean there's no better way to say it.
Lol. I didn't even notice the Biostar brand. I didn't realize they made GPU's!
Neither did I!
Full coverage water blocks aren’t exactly cheap, but I wouldn’t pay more for an EK Block then an optimus block.
Anyone put in an inquiry for the XTX? I wonder if they would care about selling 10 to a group of us. hummm
Me neither, but they seem to keep moving on to producing different hardware lately, so who knows what is in store for them down the line.
I personally do not equate Biostar with quality.... anything. I guess that was the joke all along.
Nope. That's no joke. That's what some of the EK blocks cost now.
I've reviewed a few Biostar boards over the years. I've had better luck with Biostar than ASRock.
That isn’t saying much. I know some people that swear by Asrock but I wouldn’t ever touch them.
I've had multiple Asrock boards, never had an issue with any of them. Still running one of their Z87 boards that's almost 10 years old. And a TaiChi X370 that's in my wife's PC's.
The Biostar boards I've reviewed have actually been decent boards. As a brand, their offerings wouldn't be my first choice but they were all genuinely decent and far better products than I expected them to be.
I agree with this. I'm no fan of @ss-Rock. I did have ONE Biostar motherboard that was awesome, using an nForce 2 chipset, which I ran my Athlon XP "Barton" 3200+ on (that was my very last single-core system, and my very last 32-bit system). In general I agree that Biostar isn't great, but to me they are better than @ss-Rock.
Same here.
