Most likely a media and plex server.

my buddy's running a 970 and I'm on a 290x

no obvious difference between this and the full spec demo at best buy

mmm, i dont buy that.

@Duke ryzen is kicking ass. You might want to consider an AMD processor. Cheaper, and either equal, or more powerful.

damn, the 690 was the titan of its day, its the dual gpu in one card of the 600 series.

Saw that. It'll be a bit before I pull the trigger, which is my way once I've decided to buy something I'll overthink the fuck out of it. When all is said and done, I'll probably have changed out every part on the wishlist, some of them twice.

It still holds up pretty well. I'm not having much issue with many current gen games i'm playing but some of the latest and greatest push it when a RTS similar type games get close to end game with a fuckton of units on the screen.

Thats totally a CPU limitation. AI and massive units are CPU limited.

Why not? It's in spec

On second thought maybe none of the games I've tried so far have graphics options at all and others might
