@Scott123, unless you’re the type of person to never upgrade your processor, I’d go for the Z390 chipset on the motherboard. You can get one for as low as $130 now (maybe even cheaper by November) and it will open the door to using high-end 9th gen processors should you ever decide to upgrade the CPU.
Some specs of the 2070 are here, it has its own unique gpu, nothing disabled no re-badging.
We’ll see if they are right, but they seem to assume it will be a smidgen better than a GTX1080.

Ahhh so. In that case 2060 will likely be a binned 2070.
Unclear what they’re doing with binned 2080tis and 2080s. Maybe a 2070ti? They certainly aren’t going to throw them all out.
I’d bet not since the little bit they’ve talked about makes it seem like there won’t be an RTX below 2070. So most likely 2060 will be pascal based.

Then they’re just throwing out all the binned 2080s. Nah, they’ll use em in something. Might be the ray-tracing stuff gets cut out alongside some of the render cores.
I think B360 will also support Ninth Gen? It’s hard to predict but they should last a LONG time.

Wow. Maybe you have one of those stellar delivery individuals that thinks it’s okay to chuck a monitor over a fence.
Jesus Christ @Kadath, I’m so sorry to see that.
Obviously, someone used an axe instead of the required drill.
I mean seriously, I don’t think I could damage a monitor that badly if I tried!
Easily the worst shipping damage I’ve ever seen.
Wait. There was a computer in another thread too, wasn’t there?

I can’t remember if I ever showed one of the computer an extended family member received. It looked like forklift drove right over it, like case twisted, bent… never seen anything like it.
I’ve been real lucky that way. The worst I ever got was cracked CD cases.
Oh, and the UPS driver that delivered my $700 monitor 5 years ago just left it outside on the front deck. There was no additional box; just the manufacturer’s glossy box, complete with stunning photos of what’s in the box, along with a handy list of all of its features.
The monitor itself was pristine however. Using it right now.

Haha, yeah my TV showed up that way. If someone is going to steal something though, they don’t need the photo. The shape, the e-tailer… it’s really awful when you live in an area where someone steals your stuff or you have one of those truck chasers.
I think in a yearish I’ll get one of those video games for my door bell and a full security system, and that’s from someone who is almost always home for deliveries and in the few years I’ve been here, I’ve only lost a sprinkler to some punk kid.

Well they are cross shipping a new one, will be here wednesday. Infuriating but what can ya do?
My person last year left my $700+ dollar ASUS G-Sync monitor on my covered porch as well, but it was in a shipping box, at least. Also my porch has a low wall and it was thus hidden from the street, thank goodness.
