    GPU downgrade

    How would this work? surely the cost of a 2070s would be the same if not more then what you would get for selling your 2080 ?

    I went in a couple of places yesterday and listened to some Q Acoustics 3020, Tannoy MERCURY7.2, DALI SPEKTOR 1 and Monitor Audio BRONZE 1 all of the speakers listed where matched to the centre within that line up. There wasn't a big difference between them to be honest but with being in...
