Just a quick one, As it's annoying looking at what the miners have done. How much would the average 1080 ti cost us now to buy new if there were no such thing as mining? I'm sure 900 wouldn't be it anyway lol

Also brother one quick question i don't have the answer to yet. I have a standard enough 1080 24inch monitor, can i just use my HDMI cable into my graphics card, or should i get a display port cable? is there much of a graphical difference? Thanks man

the 1080 remark was basically due to the fact that thee cards are 1000 dollars, even the 1060 6gb cards are like 500 aren't they? im just looking for around 40fps minimum on these games, AMD or nVidia, i'm not paying 500 for a card though, when rewind 2 years and i could buy a card that was...

Hi again guys, I've just purchased myself this system Intel Core i5 4670k @ 3.40GHz 2x4GB Ballistix Sport DDR3 RAM @ 800MHz AMD Radeon 7870 GHz Edition (2GHz, Sapphire) Seagate Barracuda 500GB HDD Kingston 60GB SSD I haven't actually had a PC in about 5 years, and i fully intend to get...

That's actually a fantastically well informed reply, answered exactly what i asked. With my only further question being basically, how come we can't get any of those cores over 2102 even when dropping their temps down by 30c on LN2, is it just a physical limit? I mean, it wouldn't be anything...

Hey guys, Does anyone know enough about microprocessors to know what causes CPU's and GPU's to crash, throw up errors or lock up when overclocking when it's not heat related? You know what i mean, i always thought for years that what limits your cards core from continuing to be overclocked...

Hey man, i've been sick the last couple of days with Flu and a chest infection, couldn't even turn on my computer :( Yah i know it's good to have refinements for games, but in alot of the good ones, those games didn't come out because there was another game on the market that'd just gone...

Heya, Is there actually any progress being made at all between generations from nVidia or AMD to make graphics like "better"? The last change i saw that brought things into more realistic arena was the HDR lighting and bloom. But since then it seems like the only thing cards are doing now is...

Thanks for the reply. Have you noticed that you can use graphics cards that are like 7 years old and stuff like the 7950 and gtx 460 etc in new games from this year if you want, does that mean that there isn't any progress being made in actual visual quality? like it seems that the newer cards...

hm i kinda thing kingdom come was already done in the witcher, the witcher would have easily look just as great had the size of the game been small no? it's similar enough as it is, and look at Crysis 3, that probably looks as good bar maybe the lighting HDR and bloom parts of lighting anyway...

And let's not forget the old Rainbow Six Seige being used as a benchmark for some reason, when it's one of the ugliest games i've seen in years, the lighting and textures are so unrealistic it actually reminds of of halflife 2... i bet that game if properly optimized could be run on the...

Yah i agree, but even though we're in a stalemate with the 4k stuff, isn't this the time for companies to grind down and start making a bunch of beautiful looking games that work perfectly at those resolutions to keep us occupied, apart from Play Unknowns and Fornight, it seems like everything...

hey guys, I've recently gotten back into gaming and especially back into computer hardware. I'm one of the original generation Athlon Thunderbird guys who were overclocking the 1.3GHz Thunderbird AXIA cores up to 1.6GHz and the world was blown away by it, with my massive 256mb DDR Crucial ram...

hey Wege, you know that's not a real picture of Andromeda bud? Not even close, it's completely 100% fabricated by either Nasa or whoever does their CG work

It;s just kinda popped to my attention over the last couple of days, that we've been kinda... i don't know, pacified? or something due to this mining crisis thing don't you think? Like there's still a healthy bunch of reviews and questions going up about "Shall i upgrade to a 1070, is it worth...
