Wasted a high end graphics card

[toyota]

Damned Puritans.

What, did ya float over on the Mayflower?

I can't even go into a bar and smoke a cigarette these days, like alcohol any different and a good Blues band should have smoke, hell I used to play with a few and having the guitar players having em stuck up on the top in the frets was SOP.

Pussy whiners have been ruining things for years.

This country turning into a bunch of living in my parents house wimps.

I dont care what people do as long as it does not impact me. back when we lived in apartments we have had to move 3 times because of that stinky crap. it was like walking into a club when we got home from work. smoking is a trashy stinky habit that impacts people around you.

and your edited post just shows what kind of person you are and backs up what I already think about most smokers. you think everyone should have to adapt to your stinking disgusting habit.

have three 680 here and are all idling too. thinking of replacing them with three 290x or three 780ti. chances are they will be idling too.

the only game I need this much gpu grunt for is not working. stupid BF4.

add insult to injury. all the other games I plays could get by with a single 560ti.

 

[UaVaj]

I have issues and instead of playing on a single monitor I prefer not to play at all and let the rig takes dust.

x2 :''(

either all the eye candy with surround or nothing at all.

So how often do you guys rotate your video cards like you would for car tires?

Every year if there is something 30%+ faster coming out. CPU depends. And here nothing is draining my cash, no wife, no kids, no house.

 

[MongGrel]

sorry for doing this to begin with.

I just wait for a good deal that way I dont feel all that guilty since I really dont play games all that much anymore. I have been really lucky in that I have gotten most of my hardware at the lowest prices ever offered. heck I sold my 770 for more than what I paid for it even after shipping, ebay and paypal fees.

So you're a pussy whiner if someone with aids splatters blood in your face? I mean anything that is a health risk to another person is not the same as someone mad over your dog pooping in their lawn.

 

[tsupersonic]

sell it, problem solved or quit being a troll

 

[MongGrel]

We're really going to disagree on this one, and I liked you so well so far.

I've a 2000 sq ft house so I'm not bugging anyone in an apartment and can't smoke in a bar these days anyways.

We are really just going to disagree over this one, so I'll leave it alone.

And I've liked you so far previously.

Disagreeing doesn't mean we can't be friends. Although debating usually never changes anyones mind or opinion. So let's assume I'm right and leave it at that.:sneaky:

 

[paraskhosla]

I have 780 Lightning SLI and there are no games which are even using one 780.

Most games have no SLI support.

Dayz
Titanfall
Elderscrolls online
Rust

It SUCKS!

Im so bored right now. Waste of money tbh

U should have researched more before buying.

Close enough he he.

You know the old assume thing I'm sure.

No, I ment rotate not like swap out for new. like umm.. Guild Wars 2 for example Id have 1 card at 90% for 12 hours a day and the other card would only be going at like 20% so Id feel the need to rotate my cards to keep my fans from going bad and making that horrible grinding noise. Usually when my fans start to go bad is when I signal that my video cards need to be swapped for something newer.

 

[UaVaj]

go big or go home.
only play at max eye candy or do not play at all.

so only upgrade when there is a new game and the current setup does not have enough grunt to get the job done.

will upgrade as many time as necessary.

 

[daveybrat]

Pretty sad that i'm playing Titanfall at almost max settings on my old Phenom II with a GTX 660 2GB card.

I'd love to upgrade my cpu/mb/vid card, but with the lack of quality games, or games like Titanfall that don't need a ton of horsepower, i'm lacking the upgrade itch that i used to have.

And the next game i'm getting is Diablo:Reaper of Souls. So don't think i need more power for that game either.

Me = married with 2 kids, own home, toy car, daily, wife car, good savings account, all the toys we could want on less than 6 figures with minimal revolving debt.

Some people can manage money while other can't manage any amount of money.

With steam sales and free games with hardware purchases and so forth. I see very few reasons to spend large sums of money on games.

Ignoring the arrogant insult in the preceding post (as well as the silly assumptions that people spend $3 on coffee every day and can learn to stop using coffee and cigarettes cold turkey), I have two questions.

1.) Did you follow your own example for saving?
2.) Does your wife work too?

Those kinda change your perspective here.

Your comparing HIV blood spatter with second hand smoke?....PMSL!

I compared a health hazard, either one may or may not kill. Try not to use your brain too much to figure out the obvious.

Sorry to jump on in between but this is stupid.

First thing that pops up Googling Second Hand Smoke

http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/tobaccocancer/secondhand-smoke

Why should anyone have to go through any of those things because some idiot wants to smoke in a public place.

I do not care what you do with your life, go jump off a bridge I don't care.
But don't do something that affects others.

You are free to smoke at your place or do whatever you want, but I shouldn't have to ruin my health because you like to smoke.

Just had the same discussion with another stupid girl in my class at the beginning of the semester.

You morons do not understand the definition of a public place

You do not own it. It is for everybody. You shall not do with it ( or in it) as your heart so desires. Why.? Because it is not yours to begin with.

 

[monkeydelmagico]

I live by the 80/20 rule. 80% of the fun for 20% of the cost. I will always be the dude rocking last year's gear and lovin' it.

 

[realibrad]

If anyone thinks buying a $800-2k setup is tough, try buying a house. I have not played a PC game for 3 months...

As for a public place being for everybody, meh not really. I dont even think you can make the argument that a public place should give everyone equal access.

 

[blake0812]

I spent around 700$ on a gaming rig and all I do is Skype and Facebook chat.

 

[AdamK47]

My PC has four GTX Titans connected to a single 30" monitor. It's overkill and a waste, but that just how I like it. I'll replace the cards with next gen once they come out.
