2080 TI: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT

by enex Posted on: 7/8/2024

Build Description

Built for Half-Life Alyx, now running Counter-Strike 2 nice and smooth. Where it really shines, though, is its ability to simultaneously run both Firefox and Notepad++ with dozens of tabs open in each flawlessly.

Favorite Feature

That RTX 2080 TI is still kicking keister after nearly five years. EVGA really knew what they were doing with the Turing architecture!
