    My 560ti had issues with Arma 3 and i had to run it on fairly low settings. Arma runs pretty badly on anything though. I think the card was limited on vram as well as power.

    Ok, people are telling you to go with the 750... Yet you ignore us and go with old, outdated, inefficient hardware.

    Get the damn 750.

    My can of computer duster says flammable on the side. It is indeed very flammable.

    Don't try lighting it inside, even a tiny bit. Just don't.

    GTX 480: Will explode in a ball of flames. Also not powerful enough and very outdated.

    GTX 560: Not enough power, already outdated, will be utterly worthless in a few years.

    Go for a GTX 750. Super efficient, great price/performance ratio, should keep its value for a while.

    I'm on £10 per month for 3000 texts, 500 minutes and 2.25gb of data (3g and 4g) from tesco (who piggyback from o2, o2 and ee are probably biggest uk carriers). All carriers have decent deals available. Pay as you go however is always a rip off. What you are best off doing is waiting until you are in the UK, finding the nearest carphone warehouse, they can usually advise on who gives best coverage in a given area. Coverage from each carrier should be first concern, for example 3 have no signal near me, not worth getting a plan on 3 simply because I couldnt use it.

    I use Freedompop with my Photon Q that I bought for $65 refurb last year. $20 to sign up, then completely free for 200 mins, 500 texts, and 500mb. I want your plan. This is on the Sprint network, so yeah, not that good coverage. My mom gets unlimited 4G on Verizon, awesome plan but it costs a ridiculous amount of money.

    Still, considering that last year I was paying $10 a month for pretty much the same plan I have now, it's a pretty good deal.

    I have been on a personal mission to download and install (in an emulated environment) every possible obscure operating system I can find. I think I'm just about done with Linux distributions for now. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    So far, the most notable have probably been North Korea's Red Star OS and a platform commonly used in vehicle infotainment systems (the name escapes me).

    The GTX 750 has a TDP of 55 watts. That's barely more than 20% of the GTX 480, and less than half that of the GTX 560.
    One of the reasons to buy it is Maxwell's incredible efficiency. That's why it is such a popular pre-built upgrade.

    In fact, any of the two old graphics cards would require a PSU update, while the GTX 750 does not.

    I have the feeling you ask any hardware questions directly on this forum rather than doing any research. Please use google, it's there for a reason. Don't make me go full lmgtfy.

    I am on 3 with a monthly sim only contract meaning i can cancel anytime. For £12.90 i get unlimited internet, 5000 texts and 200 mins. 3g and 4g is included. If you go for pay as you go on 3 it will be 3p per minute, 2p per text and 1p per mb. So pay as you go is still not as good as contract but its still fairly ok. Most UK phone providers have a coverage map on their website so you can see what their coverage is like, some carriers are a little optomistic so bare that in mind.
    Coverage on 3 is fine in most towns and motorways, but i know that ee has better coverage in general because 3 has no 2g infrastructure at all.

    Technically, anything is a fire hazard if you're brave enough.

    Many things can be engulfed in flames if you try.

    Rather great week.
    1st place on school programming competition (qb). Had 90 points, 2nd had 30.
    Also I'll probably go with postpaid because I'll only be in the UK for two weeks.
