(imported from here) Geforce FX 5900 died. Didn't want to wait for oven to heat up so I used toaster oven to reflow it. Works now.
You know, Google is not right about everything. By the way, you didn't capitalize the Y in "you". Education would work better than educating in this sentence so It would be "You need education." -From the Nazi Fuhrer
If the best you can do is point out insignificant errors that don't detract from the point being made, then perhaps you shouldn't 'contribute' to a discussion about education.
GTX 970, if at all possible the 960 is a very underwhelming card. Go for the 280x unless you're doing CUDA rendering or something...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA It's a Nvidia technology that let you use your GPU for parallel computing. Useful to calculate large amount of data in less time. For Example a 970 has around 3000 CUDA Cores. In a Render, it's much more efficient to distribute a rendering job over those 3000 cores than a CPU with just 8 cores. Not sure about the more technical detail, but that's roughly how it works. OpenCL is a similar thing but that should work on both Nvidia and AMD.
Both are very similar in terms of performance. The 280x is a bit more powerful, but also more expensive. Depends on what you want really, both are great cards.
I absolutely hate Northstar V8s. Piece of shit engines. And they're transversely mounted which isn't ok for a v8.
Playing BeamNG on school computers... *tears start falling* it runs better than my machine... Although, they ARE Sci-Vis rendering machines. A i5 3470 with 8 GB ram.
