[Mr. Argumentor]

I'm surprised that radio stations aren't broadcasting "OK GOOGLE NAVIGATE TO SHADY JOE'S AUTO CREDIT" ads yet.

They did and got taken off the air.

WON'T @Ledboots STOP TO TELL US ALL ABOUT SHADY JOE'S FREE SPEECH?

 

[gee]

I wonder if you could steal money from people by doing some bullshit like OK GOOGLE TEXT SUBSCRIBE TO 96515

New egg is running a special on GTX 1060s.



Also, they are selling a 3gb Seagate Barracuda for $69.

Do you think the current gen is going to be the defacto standard platform, ie the Playstation and Xbox model, or do you think we'll start seeing more and more releases as more players get in the game. I'd like to get into VR, but I'd hate to do it only to see the intial purchase outpaced, kind of like what we see with video cards.

Of course they are going to get better, just like everything else. But you've gotta dive in at some point and purchase a new: computer, phone, tv, VR, A/V receiver, etc. And it's $400. Not like it's $3000 or something.

Miners don't really want nVidia.

 

[Duke]

My existing card is a GTX 670. It's time for an upgrade anyway.

 

[Domon]

i thought you had a 690?

 

[Domon]

Miners don't really want nVidia.

there was a month or two period where they were buying EVERYTHING. Mostly cause the RX480s were sold out.

1060s were going for close to 300

 

[Duke]

Hmm, I could be mistaken. Either way, it's a 3 year old card at this point.

690 is the crazy sli-on-one-card card. woulda been really expensive.

Mine was acquired in the same card game I won the Millennium Falcon in. Thanks Lando!

I'm taking this thing to a friend's house tonight to let them try it out. I'm evangelizing the fuck out of this thing because I want more people to buy into it. There's a lot of development happening for it and I doubt my current hardware will last that long but someone's gotta be the chump up front and I'm happy to fill that role

 

[Domon]

I still have yet to find a place i can try one
