back to nvidia again

ive purchased a video card again, and this time its an nvidia card. Even though I dislike nvidia cards for their crap price/ performance,crap features, weak hardware specs, and their gimmicky propriety software, ive been forced to buy one because of the crazy prices on AMD cards recently.

Good news is, I found a good deal on a used geforce 460 gtx MSI cyclone at $50.

cool story bro

Forced to buy one?

Could have just waited

Nvidia dont have crap prices,performance,software,weak hardware nor crap features, its just you..... AMD does the same damn thing as Nvidia, when one has the upper hand with a series the other releases a series that competes and rinse and repeat....prices and other things change with the environment .

exactly. jeeze people

Bashes the crap out of a product

Goes out and buys product

Humans...

nvidia isnt crap. why'd you tell us you hate them so much but yet buy their video card? you say nvidia has crap prices, but then say amds prices are crap, but buy nvidia?? what the..

i found no big price difference in either brand most of the time, both companies charge what they want depending on the demand for their card. big demand for the 680gtx when it first came out so nvidia charged more then it was worth, but it was the best at the time so it was easy.

AMD does same thing, theres a bitcoin/litecoin mining fad going on right now, so people are buying their card to try to make imaginary money.

how exactly do you make a practical amount of money if you spend 300-400 dollars on a video card and have to spend 600 dollars a year in hydro costs to mine 24/7? on a virtual made up currency that could drop to nothing at anytime, with penalities to conversion to useable currencies?

WHAT? you know that the prices of only certain GPUs of ATI has raised not all of em'.

I don't recommend on buying a used hardware at all.

Ok complains about high priced current cards. then buys a several gen old card.

The only gpus that went up in price are the high end 7XXX's and the new series that launched.

The 4XXX 5XXX and 6XXX prices all were unaffected as they lack the benefits the two most recent series gives for miners.

I bet you're kicking yourself for not waiting a bit longer to sell your oh so awesome 7970........ or you could of been mining.

Also why buy a noisy ass card like a 460? Tight as a ducks bum?

you don't understand at all. All the previous gens of AMD cards dating back to the 4xxx series has gone up in price. Even on local ads for second hand cards this is the case.

Brand new nvidia cards are huge rip offs, the only good deal on an nvidia card is a used one most of the time. Agreed about the retarded mining thing, the sooner it happens that a different mining method than Radeon video cards is found, the better.

I thought I needed some cash so I sold my HD 7950 and was going to get a new gpu a couple weeks later. I ended up getting an Asus GTX 760 for only $197. Seems just as good as my HD 7950 and has small things like Physx for the price it was a steal. I dont see the big deal the Nvidia fans make about Nvidia GPUs though. I wish AMD would not be so demanded by miners though I wnated to get a r9 280x but they were going for $400-440 at the time.

yeah, actually you're right I couldve gotten at least $150 more for my 7970 if I waited...hindsight i guess. Noise doesn't bother me too much, its not like id be gaming 24/7, plus the performance is good enough at a great price.

What are you on about?

I wouldn't buy a used video card from the net even if you paid me. Heck, I rarely buy any used technology off the net.

What IS a rip-off is buying the latest NVIDIA or AMD card. I normally just get a model or two before it.

Ive had great experiences with used video cards. Most of them can go on for years no problem anyway so there is little risk involved. Radeon cards rip offs ?? Lol....I was able to buy a radeon 7970 card for $340 incl tax, got 3 free games with it and an year later sold it for $280. If I waited 2 more months I couldve sold it for $100 more than I bought it for. That is a great deal on a new video card.

I don't understand how you can possibly fanboy that hard.
