The entry level video card hot deals thread

Doesn't really fit into your deal, but I've been trying to sell a GTX 750 for $85. New in box. Seems like everyone wants the Ti instead haha.

FarCry 4 and the death of the dual core CPUs in gaming

Too bad FC4 is massively broken for a lot of the PC playerbase. It likes to crash before it even loads the first part of the game. Sadly I'm one of the affected. Thankfully I didn't pay money for the game. (Came with GTX 970)

Modern version of Age of Empires?

I've been a die-hard AoE fan from the start (WOLOLO!) but aside from continuing to play AoE 3, the only other game that's satiated my thirst for development and war has been Civ 5. I know it's not RTS but it's about as close as I could be satisfied with. (I have StarCraft 2, but they just...

Toyota Mirai

I like the idea of it, but the styling is poor, the range/cost is poor, usefulness is poor. The only way a shift to hydrogen is going to work is if the government pushes it, so that there are hydrogen fuel pumps as often as gas. Unfortunately, the government is ran in part by many of the...

Dream With Me: You're a billionaire, what's in your garage?

I'm not really super huge on over the top cars. I like looking at them, and I'd probably go drive a lot of them, but buy? Nah. I'd probably pick up a Caterham kit and build it myself. I'd probably buy a BMW M sedan, probably not the newest one. I own land already and need a nice truck, so...

Newegg Black Friday Deal Leak SUCKS (EDIT: getting better now)

I'm still hoping to get a good price on a 256GB SSD. They've been going for around $100 retail, so with luck we'll see some pop up for $75 during BF/Cyber Monday/Week.

New video card?

If you do decide to go the 750 route, I've got a GTX 750 for sale(asking $90 shipped), new in box. Got it as part of a combo deal on Newegg but already had a better card for the setup. If he's still running an 8800, you've got a lot of room there for growth, and I'm sure he'd appreciate any.

Did Giants Exist Years Ago?

I'd bet any myth or legend of giants is simply an exaggerated tale of someone with some sort of growth disorder. We've had people in the last 100-200 years that grew to nearly 9 feet. If you saw someone that huge with no knowledge of a world outside your village, you might think there could...

I'm resigning from my big-corporate job on Friday.

Every company seems to, at some point these days, forget that the employees are what drive the company. If no one worth a crap wants to work for you, then you're left without product, and without customers.

Cop in my town got busted for littering.

I'm inclined to agree that cops (not all, but too many of them) are getting a bit out of control. Once upon a time people felt safer and happy around police. These days more people are paranoid because it seems as if they're all out to find any little thing to ticket you with, or in some way...

I haven't been to the Denton area in a while, but I have noticed that Specs has started sweeping the DFW area with new locations. You might have a large competitor not long after you move in.

Vasilopita - Anyone everyone done this?

I would say I tend to not believe in such things, but my grandfather on my father's side is one of the luckiest people I've known. He never wins big ticket things like the lotto, but more often than not, he wins local drawings. I on the other hand, have won maybe one thing my entire life.

The drought... 2 problems, one easy, the other not so much

Seems like you could just build desal plants paired with dedicated solar power plants to offset any power/climate issues. As for the remnants of the desal process, figure out some way to sell it to rich people as a luxury. Maybe coat a luxury car in it and call it 'premium green'.

Boss needs to run 3 1080p monitors extended/mirrored, no gaming

Seems obvious but I'll state it anyway, did you try rolling back to an older driver? If he wants to simply mirror one, cant you just get a DVI splitter to use on one of the ports? Turn one DVI into two? It'd serve the purpose of mirroring, without the software needing to know about it.

computer problems

I've little experience with OCing, but I have known some people to have issues with random applications crashing with certain clock settings... If running it at lower speeds prevents crashing, I'd say you'll have to make due.

Corsair H60 or comparable?

Whatever software I have that comes with my board (AI Suite I think? Asus software.) likes to alert me that my processor is reaching 70-73C while gaming. If liquid isn't going to be at least as quiet as the stock fan then I may look into some passive cooling options, but I only use a mid...

Corsair H60 or comparable?

Hello all! Let's start off with the facts necessary here. I'm currently running an Intel i7 2600k on the OEM cooler, yeah I know... That being said, it's slowly giving up it's ability to keep the CPU below 70C on factory clock speeds. I'd like to get something cooler, and potentially...

Overhaul 86' CRX engine

Agreeing with the others, do not junk. I had a CRX once, and I sold it. Regret it still. For a few grand you could drop a nice little motor in that car. Go find a totaled RSX and put a K-Series in it. Solid motors IMO, not the best trannies though.

That's a great looking bike for it's age. I'm looking into getting my first bike as well, primarily for fuel savings in work commutes. Probably going to pick up a Honda CB300F. I like it's look, it's not overpowered for my needs, ins should be cheap, fuel eco will be high. Of course before...

New Daily Driver - '15 WRX - Q&A Welcome

I've always liked the WRXs and WRX STis from the outside, as well as admiring their performance... but every time I sit in one, the interior is just very lacking. Nice car though! Hope you enjoy it.

Went to Church for the First Time in a Long Time

I grew up in a religious family, most of whom still go to church. I on the other hand, do not. While I do believe that there is likely something more to this existence than what we can observe physically, I've not much guess as to what. I remember being most turned off from church as...
