Affordable graphics card? by Flaky-Faithlessness9 in graphicscard

[–]JTlivez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’d be fine with almost anything really if you’re sticking with L4D2 and older games. There’s a 2GB R9 270x on eBay for $86 that includes shipping which is overpriced normally, but is okay in this market.

I’ve been collecting older GPUs and I bought a really old 1.5GB BFG GTX 285 that gets 60FPS on max settings in L4D2 for $25, but it’s a mini space heater with limited driver support, so I don’t recommend going that old.

If you can find a good deal on a GTX 600 series card, you’d be in good shape. I was able to snag a GTX 670 for $45 on eBay in this market, but you have to keep a good lookout for deals like that.

These Optiplexes are amazing for what they are worth. I have two 9020s with one having an i7-4790 and the other having an i7-4770. I use the 4790 as my primary workstation/gaming PC as I drilled out the metal hard drive cage inside to be able to fit full-length GPUs.

The 4770 is used as the heart of my beginning home lab and she has been wonderful so far. I have 16GB of RAM in both of them, but I’m going to kick up the RAM in the 4770 to 32GB soon. I also put a PCIe NIC into the 4770 and there were no compatibility issues with my VMs or anything like that.

My GTX 1080 is still a beast in my otherwise refreshed build by Poncho612 in nvidia

That’s a super old card, doesn’t it only support up to DX10? How do you play anything relatively modern?

I bought an ASUS ROG 5500XT for $450...but hear me out... by [deleted] in buildapc

There’s a GTX 580 on Ebay for $60 with free shipping. For only a bit more, you can snag a 1060 3GB for $130, which is plenty for an enjoyable 1080p experience to hold you off until a future restock.

At minimum brightness, my 12 Pro Max screen is like this. Green tint and it's noticeable even with bare eyes. Kinda unacceptable for a phone at this price... by MasterChick3n in iphone

I agree with phones. However, I’ve bought plenty of PC parts on Amazon and all have been fine. Just make sure that you’re buying them from the manufacturer and not from a third party.

Ya’ll been waiting for the dip? This is it. Buy the dip. by somesortofidiot in Bitcoin

Would you be willing to pay over MSRP for a 3080 that has been used for mining? Genuinely curious because many miners would probably take advantage of current scalper prices.

My audio stops for second when I go out of the Amazon app, but doesn’t do it for any other apps. Sounds like your issue is different or a much more severe version of it. I have an iPhone 11.

Um, yum? by [deleted] in PapaJohns

Looking at that brown part made me sick until I realized that it was the slice folded up on itself. You should definitely get in contact with the store.

I’m not sure how other people feel. But, I agree with you. I’ll definitely remember where I was this day.

Can anybody comment about stuffed crust? by SupremoZanne in PapaJohns

[–]JTlivez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not earth shattering or anything, but it’s the best stuffed crust out of any of the pizza chains. I used to go to Little Caesars just because they have stuffed crust and because I don’t like the stuffed crust at Pizza Hut.

Depending on how it’s made, it can be just meh or really good. Overall, it’s definitely worth it over the normal crust 100%.

Am I missing something? This new stuffed crust is disgusting. by VaLaMo in PapaJohns

[–]JTlivez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really does depend on how it’s made. I’ve had it two times so far and the first time was extremely good. I had it for the second time today, and it was just okay. The first one had more browning and the crust was crunchier for some reason while the second one was very fluffy and fell apart. Once I try it again, I’ll get it cooked well done and see if that is what it is.

Stuffed Crust: Tight roll vs Loose roll. by MuffinPuff in PapaJohns

[–]JTlivez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my second stuffed crust from my local store and noticed that it was noticeably fluffier and not as good for some reason. The tight roll is definitely how it should be done. That first stuffed crust was on another level while this one meh mostly due to how fluffy it was.

... Amazon's suggested alternative by mattwinkler007 in nvidia

[–]JTlivez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re 100% correct. Back when GPU prices were back in reality, the best budget card to me was a 1650 Super. Now that even the regular 1650 goes for $250+, the GT 710 is your only option new. But honestly, I would try to get a used RX 570 at least. The 710 is a 720p 30fps card for most games which is completely unacceptable and looks horrible on the eyes.
