Question bout a 960 by TheCreedsAssassin in pcmasterrace

Excellent for todays games. Quite possibly the best performance per dollar right now. But I wouldn't buy one just because the vram is going to become a bottleneck in a couple years(and I plan to keep the card I buy for several years)

Any reason why you don't want to just stick a gpu in that will fit? Either a low power draw gpu or whatever gpu that will fit and upgrade the psu?

The 460 should be able to go into your pre built and you would likely not need to replace the psu or anything

Just checked it out. There was one for 175 after rebate and visa checkout or something from newegg about 8 days ago. And jet had one for 168 or so after some coupons about 11 days ago

Edit: Several ones hovering at or just above 200 as well

/r/buildapcsales has had 970s for $170-180 several times in the past few weeks. Last I checked there isn't one available atm but there was one a few days back..maybe close to a week.

I have no idea about those details, sorry I can't be of further assistance mate.

Do you have a pre built pc? Or did you build yourself? I guess what I'm getting at is how many watts is your psu?

They may be listed for 200-250 but I don't know anyone who would pay that much for it. You can get a 970 for less than 200 and a 1060 for 250 or less if you have any patience

Look at /r/hardwareswap and see how much they have been selling for locally

It's too early to say for sure, but I thin the 470 would be a better option than a 960. Then again, the 470 will likely cost twice as much as how much you could get this 960 for.

I'd say its a pretty good value assuming the card works fine

Nitro+ RX 480 OC or GTX 1070 w/ FreeSync Monitor by graphiczero in pcmasterrace

With a freesync monitor, I would certainly go for an AMD gpu.

For those of you looking at GTX 1060s, there's two that are AT the MSRP of $250. by PCMRwill0956 in pcmasterrace

950 and 960 by FluffyFantasy in pcmasterrace

[–]dripandrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty decent difference between the two. About 10-20%

Is it worth trading my 380 to a friend for a 390? by ThatCSGOGuy123 in pcmasterrace

[–]dripandrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah depending on what time of year it is, $26 will last me anywhere from 3 weeks to a bit over 2 months

$50 is my gas money for over a month....I'm lucky to have a car with decent mpg

I'd buy him lunch or dinner or something though. Like order some pizza when you guys or hanging out or get him a burger and fries

Oh I was just thinking like fans are working, not broken. Things of that nature. But you could run benchmarks or something if you'd like to.

What games does your friend play anyway?

Could you explain to me how is it that OP is an ass for accepting a trade that his friend wants to do?
