I didn't want to purchase it if say the mobo didn't support it or something, then have to return the product

Some food for thought then. I’ll be playing at 1080p still at 144hz. I may need to upgrade the processor it seems. Damnnn

If i'm essentially pairing an i3 with a 2080 by buying the RTX370, its still a huge upgrade to what I have now, which is good then

 

[Goldenrig]

Good stuff, thanks everyone for the tech support

 

[Goldenrig]

Oh, this is interesting then. I was worried I might have needed to upgrade my processor

I’ll be gaming at 1080p 144hz for a while. The 3070 will feel nicer that my current 970. So I’ll be happy to upgrade

So the 1080p 144hz for me is temp for now, was planning on buying the RTX370 and then getting an upgraded monitor for Christmas, so not a complete waste of coinage, and my current GFX is a GTX970 so its well old haha

Sounds good! Thanks guys
