Glad I'm never on a tight budget!
Man I just don't see what's so amazing about SSDs. Yeah I boot faster and my games I have on there load quicker, but if I was on a budget I would never pick one over just putting that money into a better gpu or cpu.

Everyone is on some kind of budget. If you're not then Nvidia has a nice dual Xeon box with 8 Pascal GP100 gpus in it shipping in a couple of months for $129,000.
If you only do gaming, that's fine. I do work pretty much in all my machines, and things like launching Visual Studio is night and day with an SSD... even things like web browsers are a noticeable improvement (launches faster, reads off the cache faster, etc). Everything on the OS is just way snappier too, like finds, opening control panels, etc.
Well this is a thread about gaming, not about building workstations.
somehow we were talking SSDs... not sure if Cobra is building a gaming machine...
Cobra's not building , not when he's talking 950 Pros in RAID tbh
LOL...
"not on a tight budget."
Now since that is a little over my annual pay before taxes, It would bust my budget. If I were to buy a Tesla, the payments would make my budget tight. As it stands, my budget allows me to spurge $1k every now and then, without too much thought.
Yep.
Even online gaming where milliseconds count, an SSD may make a difference.
I'm not speaking to a RAID setup. I want a gaming machine that will also be a great general purpose computer.Cobra's not building , not when he's talking 950 Pros in RAID tbh
Q2 loads instantly off my ssd tbh. I think CH and I have the same processor, it has served me damn well. Never oc'd
You didn't like Firewatch? I hated the intro about the alzheimers wife, but once the game gets started it's pretty funny.
There's like no action... I played up until somebody wrecked my station, after catching the kids with the fireworks... it was very early, but enough for me...
I really like the artwork in the game, and the dialog is hilarious. It's fun exploring the trails too. It's a pretty creative game so far.
You guys are sleeping on Divinity: Original Sin.. One of the better illegal downloads I've done in some time
I have it stashed... I started playing it for a bit, but wasn't in the mood to get into a long RPG at the time, so I put it to hibernate for a while...
I really liked Firewatch but the ending sucked.
Not like Dying Light The Following which had an incredible ending.
Yeah it's ing long as .. Without the Internet, I couldn't see myself ever finishing this game because the puzzles are unforgiving.. I can't see where you find clues to completing some of them.
The combat is addicting as in this game, much better than Wasteland 2's
Tried it and hated it.
Looks like Nvidia has halted production of the GTX 980 Ti, GTX 980, and GTX 970, so the Pascal GP104 chips can't be far off now. Kind of jives with newegg selling a ing top of the line 980 Ti with an all copper heatsink for $560.

Get in here DJR210. You gonna get a $330-$430 GTX 1070 that should outperform the GTX 980 Ti pretty soundly?
Hey guys im building a 4K HTPC for someone that is NOT a gamer. Are there any cpus with on board video that can display 4K for streaming 4K video or will I need a dedicated GPU? Also any sweet htpc cases shaped like a cable box? Going to use an itx mobo
If you go with a discrete gpu the GTX 960 would probably be best right now since it has hardware H.265 decoding. I don't have the slightest idea if you'd need that much of a gpu for it though, or if the IGPs in either the new Skylake chips or the Iris Pro 6200 in Broadwell would be sufficient for 4k H.265 decoding.
For cases the Fractal Node 202 might be along the lines of what you're looking for, it looks kind of like a cable box.
If you want a really small case you should check the Dan A4-SFX. Not sure if it's available for purchase yet though.

How much do you know about the decoding, or where can I find it?
When the Bluray vs. HD wars were proclaimed, I predicted Bluray would win for a few reason. That it would stream fast enough to play two video formats that HD-DVD wouldn't, and that the 25 GB/layer vs. 15GB/layer allowed many (most?) feature length movies to use only one layer, whereas HD-DVD would require 2 layers for all movies. Counter arguments were HD-DVD was cheaper, but that is out the window when 1 layer vs. 2 layers are used.
Anyway, seems I should base my video card decisions by similar standards. Is there a list out there someplace on caparisons of format performance for various cards?
Damn the shrouds for the GTX 1000 series look ugly as
