Not him, but I think the idea is that paging kills performance way less with hbm2 than gddr5. Makes sense, haven't tested it myself. >I'd really recommend it if you can afford it I can afford it in a sense, but it's more than I want to pay. I'm in a slightly unusual spot... I can justify the 4K screen since I can use it productively too, but there's only so much money I can reasonably spend on frivolities like graphics cards given my current budget.
Curious to hear opinions from anyone who plays at >1440p but

MSI X470 Gaming Plus, or the Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming motherboard? I am looking for cheaper end x470 motherboards and am between these two, any preference for one or another?

This convoluted reasoning for lowballing me on my used 1070 is funny. It's actual meme material. There is a $700 difference between the msrp of a 2950X and 2400G. Given that I can find a Threadripper $850 new, $150-$700 = negative $550. Because it is a used CPU %20 off in my opinion is fair game. There for -550 - 110 = you give me the 2400G and $660?
You left out some words and context, such as >theoretically As in, if you had infinite RAM than HBCC gives you effectively infinite VRAM. Paging doesn't kill performance the way it does with other GPU memory controllers.
>Avoid Vega since Nvidia has sales now Retarded OP again
