    If it posts, then everything should be in working order. (Basically just plug all the shit in correctly, power it on, if a screen shows up, then good job.)

    God, $10,000 to build a system and I don't have to buy a monitor? Even going all out with a 5960x, dual 980 Ti Hybrids, a 360mm AIO, an Intel PCIE SSD, two large WD Reds, and Win 10 Pro I could only get my build to $4200. I wonder if I could put the other $5800 on a Steam giftcard lol.

    Good time to buy AMD stock. When the new series comes out and 16 core CPU the price should jump. Unless it is all refresh and actually 12 core with 4 cores for GPU. Then Nvidia released Pascal and Broadwell comes out and destroys your current gen harder. AMD pls.

    Well I don't really like AMD, but if they die, everyone that uses a computer will take a massive hit.
     
    Both Nvidia and Intel would have a monopoly on Gpus and Cpus respectively, causes prices to skyrocket, support and drivers, etc. would not be well done.
     
    There would be no one to challenge them. They would set the prices to their liking. If you don't like those prices, theres absolutly nothing you could do.

    To all those people saying this is a bad value: this card isn't for you... This is made for extreme cases, like an amazing ITX build or a beast watercooled pc. If you think its too expensive, then it isn't made for you... This is the most expensive single card for a reason.

    My English teacher had us save it to the computer (I was like 1 of 3 people smart enough to save it in GDrive) and then put the laptops back in the cart, it was madness when she took them back out and everybody was trying to find their laptop. I was like "fucking skrubs".
     
    I also never understand why people sign into Chrome and into their email on school computers and then never sign out. I was able to read somebody's email when I was using a school laptop. That's why I always use Incognito mode on any computer that's not mine, since I don't want people to see my activity and it's hella convenient if you forget to log out of something.
