Retired, no mortgage, no car loans and no credit card balance. Everything I buy is cash or gets paid off before billing cycle. Its called working your a$$ off for many many years :).
Game hasn't crashed for me one time in18 hours of play, nor have I experienced any type of stuttering. I've had an issue renaming some planets and systems. Am running this game on a 1070, 4790K @ 1440p and 60 fps.
Glad to see you got it running well. I installed my EVGA 1070 SC along with a 4790k, some more ram and a Noctua DH-15. This was a second machine that had a G3258 and my old XFX Radeon 6870. What a great chip the 3258 was. Fortunately my installation went well. Of course now this will become my...
I just paid $449 for an EVGA SC, so for the next 2 weeks I will drink two $10 bottles of wine a week instead of $25 bottles and skip the once a week restaurant bill. So in my mind I will have netted $80 LOL. Can't wait for an RS analysis of my purchasing habits. ;)
If one takes pride in being able to recommend then they should take an equal amount of pride in not doing it in an insulting way. Think about why they don't.
Wouldn't be the first time I misunderstood someone:eek:but I wasn't criticizing him for the message but the way he presents it. That is just my opinion and not a fact. I am proponent of neither company, one of my rigs had a radeon card and the other a nvidia card. I only come here when I am...
Using phrases like, money spent better elsewhere and nothing special are not necessarily indicative of cold hard facts, rather they are his opinions. :wub: I get alot of info from RS but his preachy manner is irritating and discounts the value in what he says.
I'm with you just waiting on availability for the EVGA card I want. The 770 is going into the second machine, 2500K and the 1070 into a 4970K. Both match up well.
No one needs to justify to anyone what they decide to spend. If money is not an issue buy the faster card, is that hard to comprehend? I am waiting to see how good the AMD card is and will buy whatever card is the best. I worked hard all my life to retire early buy what I want.

People who can only afford a $200 GPU can't afford to shell out $600-$800 for a VR unit. Bringing VR to the masses is a myth, when the masses can't afford it and software companies aren't in a hurry to write games for it.
You really believe that the masses as you called them will now buy VR headsets because they can spend $179 less on a video card. Just a yes or no, no more marketing BS. If so show me a citation my friend.
I paid $329 for my 770 and now will spend $50-$75 more for a card that is arguably 2.5 times better and more efficient and its the worse 70 card ever. Well I guess it's winning the superbowl by one point and being the worse win ever. Its amazing how we as humans process information so differently.
My suggestion to you would be to check out HardOCP review of the 1070 "The GPU reached a maximum of 2113MHz, but could not sustain that. However, it can sustain around a 2076MHz. The actual average over this time was 2052MHz for 15 minutes of gaming. At 2052MHz the clock frequency is higher than...
I paid $330 for my 770-4 mb after returning two Radeon cards that had the dreaded blackscreen disease. Two computer shops couldn't fix the problem nor could I. Had never purchase Nvidia card up before this. I'm well into my 60's and ran IT before I retired so its not like I haven't traveled a...
I don't believe there is any special reason why the reference cards are more expensive other then they are going to offer them for sale for the lifetime of the card and can't compete with their business partners if they are going to sell them too. They are giving them a $100 to play with.
I will look closely at both of the companies new releases to see if it makes sense to upgrade from a gtx 770 4mb. Not sure 1920x1080 gaming I should.It will be interesting to see the numbers. Not concerned about price only performance.
I'm a grandpa who had 1500 hrs into Skyrim. My doctor suggested playing computer games was good brain stimulation. I am somewhat limited by a heart condition so my physical activity is limited by necessity.
Also I ordered the parts and built my own PC and built a second one as well and keep...
Got a lot of smiles reading through this thread as I am 66. A few years back talking to my doctor who is also a neighbor he suggested I get back into computer gaming to keep my brain active. No longer able to do much in the way of physical activities do to the ticker. I also build computers for...
Driver doesn't load for me, windows 7 wants to proudly proclaim it finds a new video device. I am told by download to close my open device driver. It's like too 7 year olds who don't get along well together. :)
