General computer talk/advice

That's a nice card...

970=good
980=bad
980Ti=good.

 

About $130 actually, I'm going for the standard stock clocked one instead of one of the factory overclocked ones (I'll probably end up overclocking myself anyway, provided I can stay within the 75W power limit of the pcie port)

 

Yea... I'll probably end up with a GTX 780TI you can get them used for the price of a 960 now.

 

I have a two pcs one with a Intel core i7 720QM Processor and a ATI HD 5730 with 1GB Vram and 16GB Ram and my other pc has a Intel core 2duo e6600 Processor with a GeForce 750 ti with 2GB Vram and 4GB Ram wich one is the better one for Beamng?

 

if you can then swap the graphics cards, so the i7 has the 750ti, otherwise the I7

 

the one with the i7 is a Laptop sadly

 

Sell the laptop with the I7 use the money to buy a used i5 and board.

 

I was going to say sell it and get a 970 or 390 instead because single GPU > multi GPU, but...

D:

You mean R9 390? The 380X is much worse than the 970.

Get a 970 if you can. Or 390. The 780 Ti has no DX12 support and nvidia doesn't like supporting older cards either.

 

If I can live with this 6870 for three weeks I'll be able to get a Gigabyte GTX 960 4gb version. Wish me luck.

 

Not really. I'd prefer the 970 over the 390 and the 280X over the 960. That sentence may not make any sense to you, but it was intentional.

 

I can honestly say after having a AMD CPU die on me and now a AMD GPU die I will never... Ever.. Buy a AMD product again... From now on I'll pay more for reliability.

 

I think I know. You probably Manager to cook them to death...
Not that that would be difficult.

 

Card never touched 80°c Just blue screened saying crap about the driver, and eventual just stopped displaying anything at all.
--- Post updated ---
I got a feeling the bios corrupted because this was a ongoing issue for while that I just associated with the driver being beta v16.

 

Then I have no idea. Except if the card murdered itself in a fatal driver error.
Why die you have a driver beta, by the way.

 

Well I got a nice cup coaster now, might find a way to hot wire it to make it heat my cups too. "when life gives you lemons make lemonade" I guess.

 

Hehe, I actually use a PCB that went wrong when I etched it as a coaster on my desk

 

So the Packard Bell Legend 2440 turned out to actually be really freaking cool. There's a really, extremely old Seagate hard drive in it, and a PNY overdrive CPU that's based on a Winchip C6 core. I wonder if I can get it to run Windows 95 with Internet Explorer, because I have a spare NIC from the other Packard Bell I'm using for parts. I can't wait until tonight to tear that one down and inventory everything.

 

Now I really have to wait for that update.

 

How did you break the monitor?

 

My cats knocked the monitor over. I really puzzles me because the way the monitor was set there really was no way to knock it over. This isn't the first time, though. They've knocked the monitor over before. But I have to have my bike in the house, and it's near my computer setup, so when it was knocked over it hit the rim of the bike. Pretty unfortunate placement.
