Although the specifications for their new line up is impressive the question still remains, should you upgrade? Well if your wallet is limitless then by all means grab 2 of them and anything else that\u2019s top of the line, but if it\u2019s not then it depends, and here is why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hardware Considerations<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"260\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-edited-300x260.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-edited-300x260.png 300w, https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-edited-768x667.png 768w, https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-edited-150x130.png 150w, https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-edited-696x604.png 696w, https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-edited-484x420.png 484w, https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-edited-534x462.png 534w, https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-5-edited.png 972w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Monitors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> You could shell out your finances on their new line up and still not get the full benefits of their technology by various factors. One of which is your monitor. Many standard computer monitors still have a maximum resolution of 1080p.  This means that even if you had the computer hardware to run 4k resolution you wouldn\u2019t be able to notice the advantages due to the lack of your monitors capabilities which means you\u2019ll need to upgrade your monitor too.  Today most 4k monitors run at an average refresh rate of 60hz which will not utilize the full potential of an RTX 3080 due to the monitors 60FPS limitation. If you are still currently using a 1080p base monitor I recommend upgrading to the BenQ PD3200U. A 4k monitor capable of 75 frames per second. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpdt-c row wpDataTableContainerSimpleTable wpDataTables wpDataTablesWrapper\n\"\n    >\n

10700K<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While I can\u2019t personally speak for this CPU, but if you\u2019re looking for a price matching alternative the i7 10700K beats the i9 10900K being around $200 cheaper with about the same performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. While it may have less cores and fall a tad bit behind with rendering tasks through game engines or video editing software the difference is almost unnoticeable. If gaming is your focus this outperforms the AMD alternative in that area. If I had to choose a budget intel CPU other than the i9 10900K this would be it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpdt-c row wpDataTableContainerSimpleTable wpDataTables

Drives<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve looked at the display, and computer processing unit we\u2019ll briefly go over the last important factor to consider when upgrading. The hard drive type. Within the last recent years the standard disk drive is becoming obsolete while SSD\u2019s (Solid State Drives) are the new norm for good reason. The price on this fairly new technology has gone low enough to justify upgrading especially considering the massive benefits one could gain from it. Faster load times, faster data transfer speeds, and better overall efficiency while having a longer lifespan. If you\u2019re going to be playing video games or working with a 4k environment then without an SSD you\u2019ll find that load times could reduce your productivity. The point is, if you\u2019re going upgrade to an RTX 30x series you\u2019ll want to upgrade your storage space too.  For this I recommend the Samsung T5 Portable SSD 1TB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-11\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/6256216_sd-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/6256216_sd-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/6256216_sd-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedailyhi.com\/tdh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/6256216_sd.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Random Access Memory (RAM)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s not really much to discuss here since RAM isn\u2019t that much of an integral component for any given build. So long as there\u2019s at least 8Gigs of RAM in the system it should be fine. I do recommend having at least 16Gigs of RAM since that should meet or exceed the minimum requirements for just about every program. I myself use 32Gigs of ram for my needs. If you don\u2019t have 8Gigs of ram or are looking to upgrade to 16Gigs then I recommend the Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO. It comes with 2 8GB DDR4 sticks that leaves room for another 16GB worth of expansion should you need more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpdt-c row wpDataTableContainerSimpleTable

it\u2019s time to answer the long-awaited question. Should you upgrade? That depends on the resolution that you want to work with and the current hardware you have. If you\u2019re fine with 1080p the clear answer is no. If you have an RTX 20x series 2k is not impossible to achieve, and upgrading right now would be a generation too soon. If 4k is an experience you must have, then yes. You\u2019ll want to upgrade as well as upgrade your other hardware too that could cost you upwards $1,500 to replace your main components that will support 4k.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Honest Truth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s too soon for 4k to be considered the new standard. Technology is just around making 2k the norm. The truth is that even though the RTX 30x series is capable of 4k the rest of what\u2019s needed to utilize it just hasn\u2019t caught up yet. Not to mention the price point of their new series costs as much as the next gen console. It could be more cost efficient to buy a Play Station 5, or X Box Series X since you will not have to replace all of your other components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this moment in time I can\u2019t recommend upgrading if you currently have a RTX 20x series. It\u2019s just not cost effective and your RTX 20x could last you until Nvidia\u2019s 40x release. If you are still using a GTX 10x series then upgrading may be worth your while since it may be too difficult to run next gen games in desired resolutions. I myself will be waiting for Nvidia\u2019s 40x line up, or decent holiday sales. Maybe in the next 5 years 4k will become the next affordable standard.
