  1. Don't the graphics cards come in antistatic bags? I was worried about damage due to physical shocks
  2. My friend is getting a graphics card for me from the US. However the packaging is too big for him to carry with him. Will it be a problem if I have to RMA the card if it doesn't have the original packaging? And how would you recommend packing it to prevent it from getting damaged. He's mostly going to check in the baggage in which he's carrying the card
  3. I might add another 768p monitor I have lying at home two months down the line, when I shift to a bigger desk in another room in the house. I am not too bothered by the difference in visual fidelity at 768p/1080p but I prefer running 60fps locked at almost all times.
  4. I am looking to purchase a 970 when the price drops to $260-270. I am mostly planning to play at 768p. I assume that the 3.5GB VRAM will be sufficient, and that I will be able to maintain a steady 60fps with new games at high settings (not necessarily Ultra). I would have gone for the R9 390, but I don't think I will be using 8GB of VRAM, and from what I have heard, the 970 is better when it comes to heating and driver support. I have just gotten into PC gaming so for the next year or two I will mostly be playing older games. I assume there will not be any issues?
  5. So if I want to pick up a 1070 on launch day I will have to spend $450?
  6. I understand that I might not be the only one with this query. If this has been answered in another thread please link me the thread, I will delete this post then.
  7. I live in India and I am looking at purchasing a 1070. I am a bit confused by the launch day availability. From what I understand, on the 10th of June, only Nvidia's founder's edition cards will be made available right? Or will there be $379 variants too? I am going to have someone pick it up for me on the 10th, so I'm a bit confused.
  8. I was running Win10 and my PC crashed while I was using it. It then didn't restart and it just showed a cursor after the motherboard logo flashed. I suspected something was wrong with the Windows installation, so I thought I'd take a back up of my Windows partition and re-install Windows. While the hard disk shows up in my BIOS settings, when I tried to access it through Ubuntu, it just doesn't show up on the list of hard disks. Any idea as to why I'm having this issue? And any solution?
  9. Yeah, I'm leaning towards the 380X 4GB right now.. How do I indicate that the query I initially posted was solved?
  10. What if I was able to stretch my budget up to USD300? Also, is there a website where I can compare gaming performances at different resolutions and graphics settings?
  11. Oh okay, thanks, I'm new to forums
  12. But will I be able to play with Very High/Ultra settings at 60fps? For at least 2-3 years?
