it would be nice to have a new card cause atm i got a gt630

 

Like i said, the gtx 960 is a super nice card. But you have a fairly top tier CPU and a lot of RAM. You will be limited by your GPU no matter what single GPU you buy because the rest of your system is quite high end. Its just that you will have a more balanced system for gaming with the 970 to match the other components. But the 960 will still kick ass in every game on the market at the moment, you may not be able to absolutely max out everything but you will be able to get very close to the point of there being pretty much no tangible difference. which is probably as simple as turning down the filters a little bit.

 

yea im not too much fussed about gfx i just want some fps i will see if i can get my mum to let me have the 970

 

If you can't afford it don't buy it. Get a 960 unless you have the money for a 970.

 

my mum will buy th 970 when she gets back from the town

 

Is GTX 970 MSI is good for this game??
Thanks

 

Its a GTX 970, The second fastest gaming graphics card that nvidia offers. It will run pretty much any game without issue.

The MSI version is quite nice.

 

it is? i thought they did one that was like £2k

 

Those aren't gaming cards, aljowen said it's their second fastest gaming card.

 

The Titan cards are jokes, not graphics cards.

 

So my school is making an arcade cabinet using a PC running an emulator for ROMs. They were using a fourth gen i5 low profile HP with some old low profile ATI card for S-video. Apparently the card somehow damaged the board after a couple weeks so we're going to get a new board to use that CPU (It's actually not bad.) and a full size case so I'm going to bring in my old 8800GTS and maybe a PSU. The teacher is gonna give me $20 for the GPU which is pretty good considering a friend got a bag of carrots for a PC. Anyway, I took the ATI card and I'm wondering if it's worth trying to use in the Core 2 Duo HP low pro I've got running here.

 

Just a PSA for anyone who bought a Lenovo computer after mid 2014, or may buy one soon:

Essentially, their bloatware is actually intruding on security certificates, making it less secure and allowing third parties to snoop in on potentially massively confidential information.

Lenovo still puts together great hardware, so I'm not going to recommend another brand because of this, but I strongly suggest that everyone installs a fresh copy of their OS as soon as they get their computer.

 

Or more simply... The bloatware can be uninstalled.

 

The adware's certificates root themselves deep into Windows. There are a lot more steps you need to do than just uninstalling it to bring your browsers back to normal levels of security. At that point you're better off just formatting to clean everything. With Windows 8 it takes about 25 minutes to reformat, so there's not much harm.

 

I see this, I want this.

My Lenovo G50 has no problem with Superfish. Is it because of me using Firefox or am I just lucky?

When I try to get rid of the bloatware it will disable the wifi (aka forget networks and refuse to connect) and force me to restore the thing to its first start point.

 

Everyone has problems with superfish.

 

That's Lenovo's new thing.

 

Apparently Superfish doesn't break Firefox, so try another browser on this page: https://www.canibesuperphished.com/
