Because if people knew the truth about the GTX 970 they might have made a different purchasing decision? :dunno:

So? Your budget isn't going to pay for a current flagship phone. You can either buy an old flagship phone or a current low-end phone.

Interesting... I have an R9 380 that's in the list. Why would AMD cards get any consideration? :scratch:

I don't have a 970 so it doesn't affect me, but I can't find any reference to how the $30 payout is being made. Often the settlement isn't worth anything since they seem to rarely be made with a check. I hope you do better than a $30 voucher off your next Nvidia.com purchase.

Someone needs to explain to Terry about VVS.

What about another G4 or a G3?

HTPC duty. I thought about a R9 Nano or a R9 Fury X. The many reports of coil whine on the Nano and the inherent pump noise of the Fury X turned me off to them. I wouldn't mind benchmarking a Fury X to see how it compares. However, I'm not going to buy one just to benchmark it. FWIW...

I was interested to pick up a 1070 too, but was generally unhappy with the prices and availability of non Flounders Edition cards.

As far as I've read, most games don't benefit from the hyperthreading in the i7, but there might be a few that do.

It means it was the cheapest non Flounder Edition, non blower cooler card I could find in stock. :rofl:

I sort of accidentally on purpose ordered one of these: https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1080-amp-edition

I'm referring to the Clintons. Because once your wife becomes the Secretary of State it makes perfect sense that the speaking fees of a former President would triple. Bill would get hired to give a $750k 20 minute speech and within a few weeks the State Department would make a decision...

Citizens United makes me laugh. The case was about whether the gov't could ban a movie critical of someone running for political office. The gov't argued in the case that they could ban a book of they wanted to. But somehow we're supposed to think it was wrongly decided. Because you know...

No, it's about who donated to your crime family foundation who will be expecting favors in return for their bribes donations later.

And you still own it why? :rofl:

So it seems Windows 10 can and will still reboot your computer even if you have it set to not automatically reboot (Notify to schedule restart). From the Logs:

Your son drives a 20+ year old truck? I hope you're not paying for the gas. :p

Maybe, maybe not. They may have had some grand plans to make Jeb the nominee, clearly they were pikers compared to the rigged system the DNC set up for the coronation of Hillary. After all, their plan went up in smoke and they've got Donald Trump now. :rofl: I'm looking forward to when they...

You'll notice no one is denying anything in the leaked e-mails. Instead we're all supposed to focus on how the bad Russians are responsible.

Yes, really. http://variety.com/2016/film/news/divergent-series-ascendant-1201818694/

I guess there's a reason why the last installment is going to be a made for TV movie.

Something like a solid 8. Boring? There weren't too many slow spots. As to the bad guy, most bad guys in movies are a caricature. I found the plot to be somewhat unique.

You can't hotswap them in after the OS is loaded?

So I watched Jupiter Ascending 3D last on Blu-ray. I have to say I really enjoyed it. The audio was top notch. The 3D was very good. The plot moved along and seemed to adhere to the rules of the universe they movie took place in. I really enjoyed the way they wove in some historical and...

You can also bend pins if you don't place the CPU in the socket carefully.

But did you shoot any pictures with it? :p

I was thinking of the R9 390. It wasn't power efficient, but it wasn't slow.

Are you talking normal case fans, or are you pushing air through a radiator or other airflow restrictions. I still like the Noctua fans for case fans myself. http://noctua.at/en/nf-s12a-pwm It largely depends on how fast you spin them. However, I've heard some fans with bearings that were...

They've proven able to bury AMD with a worse performing card at a higher price point. The 970 sold better than the cheaper better performing AMD cards it went against.

I got my parents two computers upgraded to W10 tonight, so I should be completely done upgrading to 10. Aside from their super slow DSL driving me batty when Windows 10 wanted to download updates it went pretty smoothly.

There's not really any room in the lineup for a 1080Ti to slot in between the 1080 and the Pascal based Titan Ten. If you go by FLOPS they're only 22% apart. If you try to stick something between them, an OC 1080 can probably match it. It's also possible the performance gap between the 1080...

Not for free. I'm not sure if pricing has been revealed yet.

You're supposed to watch more than 3 of the discs.

I'm pretty sure you're doing it wrong. :p

I'm biding my time and waiting for an AIB 1070 and AIB 480. I'll buy when there's ample availability and the prices get sane.

Why do you need water resistance?

Well, the disc is on the way back. Went in the mail today. I guess the seller decided he wasn't going to convince me and didn't want me giving him less than 5 stars or negative feedback. Someone else today listed Minions 3D with all 3 discs for $10 shipped so I jumped on that. Slight damage...

Yep, SLI or CF makes sense if one of the top of the line cards can't get you where you want to be. So, if you've got a 1080 and need more oomph, go SLI... At the midrange point a higher end single card makes way more sense than SLI/CF.

I think you can still get the parts for the same price. Natex still has the motherboards, CPUs, & RAM. Looks like the chassis are still available on eBay from the same seller too.

Why?!?!? SLI or Crossfire on midrange cards makes no sense. You've got $500 into that and it isn't any faster than a $500 card, and has a lot of potential drawbacks besides the power consumption. Things like games that don't support or play nice with it, high frame latency, etc.

It's a tough call if you're interested in performance. The RX480 looks like it might have the edge with DX12 and Vulkan based games. The 1060 seems to be faster with DX11 stuff. The RX480 uses more power and runs hotter. I'd suggest an AIB for either over a reference / FE card.

What do you mean by revert back? On my HTPC I restored a cloned image, so it was absolutely perfect. Are you talking about using some sort of rollback feature of Windows 10?

Why do you need two NICs? That seems like a headache waiting to happen if the rest of your LAN also needs internet access unless you get two IPs from your internet provider (so the VPN'd NIC can get a public IP directly while your router gets the other public IP). The non-VPN LAN NIC needs to...

What are the specs of your PC? For the most part anything that runs 7 can run 10, unless your processor lacks the NX bit.

So I got the HTPC upgraded to 10, backed up, and rolled back to Windows 8.1. That leaves only my parents two PCs I'm going to try to tackle them on Friday. At the very least I'd suggest backing your system up, doing the upgrade, and then restoring the backup so you can move to 10 for free...

No 7 gamers one CPU rig?

Not as far as I know. Usually they have all the drivers on their website though.

I got 3 systems Windows 10'd since yesterday. The Zotac BI320 turned out to have a 64gB SSD, not a 32gB as I incorrectly remembered so that was no problem. I'm not sure how the SSD was half full with basically just a clean Windows 8.1 install though. I'm tempted to clean install 10 on it. My...

I'm trying to save a few bucks. 3D Blu-ray's (the entire set of content, not the single disc) tend to be expensive like $25-35 (for major releases). It's not uncommon to find them in the $15 range on eBay, though it's less common now than it was last fall when I started buying. For example...

His claim is that this: "You receive 3-D Blue Ray; slip cover, and case. ... Note: No other items are included." Is completely clear as to what the buyer should expect to receive. I'm not seeing it because the whole set of discs and content is generically called a 3D Blu-ray. :dunno: From...
