I mean, I’m no expert, but it's alright... though I really wish I could get my hands on a 7950 or a 660ti PE, maybe even something from Microsoft

Check this out

Now this one is even better

ATI actually fixed their drivers and left NVIDIA in the dust...😁

This card is an absolute beast

I don't have a huge budget right now, 😬 but someone reached out to me yesterday with an offer—they've got a Phantom drive that’s been used for about a day and a half. They mentioned paying around $2,600 for it, and it still has two years left on the manufacturer's warranty. They asked if I'd be interested in paying a little extra to take it off their hands. Alternatively, I actually have another option sitting here: an OCZ Vertex 4 SSD that’s never even been opened—still completely factory sealed in the box. What do you guys think I should go with?

Well, you might as well just leave that chart right there...☕

Wait, you’re sitting on a GTX 1060 and you'd actually pay an extra $167 just to swap it out? I guess I don't see how that makes sense to me; you probably won't see much of a meaningful boost from that move. If we were talking about swapping it for a 7950, then maybe it would be worth considering, but in this case, I don't think

The whole sub got a massive NO from you, and you’re still second-guessing yourself?

Man, Osmanko... my dear Osmanko 😁

Man, Osmanko... give it a rest. 😁

Guy’s got too much cash on him. 😁

Haha, don't worry, I'm definitely not rolling in it 😁

I’m probably that guy who needs to be told a thousand times that something isn't quite right—but since I'm pretty stubborn, I'll likely just keep doing things my way anyway, hahaha 🙂

Thanks for the input, guys—I really do appreciate the suggestions 🙄

Alright then, I'm switching over to the OCZ Vertex 4.

Well, that’s certainly a sharp observation...😁

And I really hope I don't mess this up—I just don't want to blow my budget and then spend the next few days kicking myself because I realized that tiny little performance boost from the GPU would have been way more useful for games like Call of Duty. As for the SSD, I just want to grab one since I've never actually owned one before.

I have Microsoft installed on my laptop and it restarts in about 18 seconds 😲
it could probably go even faster if I optimized it a bit more...

Don't worry about Call of Duty, that won't be the hardest thing you face 😂

I shot a message over to the guy and told him my limit is $350—$133 max—since I just can't swing anything higher than that. He said he'd have to sleep on it. If I can get four people together for this, should I just head out?

Good grief, Osmanko, I think $33 you're overdoing it, let alone talking about having 4 heads...

Good evening everyone—it's me, the guy you all know and love, haha! Honestly, though, I’ve completely hit a wall today... just totally burnt out. Does anyone have any advice or maybe a remedy for this? Send me a PM 😲

fadedorca66, why is Nvidia being so ruthless? I mean, if it’s not actually profitable, what was the point of even making a Ti version? Is it just designed for guys like me who don't know any better? 😁

A 10-20% boost for $167? Please.

Just grab an SSD for yourself, kid, and you'll see how fast Windows actually runs. 😁

Hey everyone—so, I’m looking at the MSI TwinFrozr OC Edition version of the Radeon 7950.

Do you guys think it’s actually worth paying extra for this specific model?
