That would be great. As much as I want new gaming cards, what's the point of them releasing new cards if all the miners just buy them all instantly and when we can actually buy them it's way beyond over priced. So releasing cards just for miners and hopefully they perform better at mining and price accordingly than the gaming ones, so miners will actually buy them, will be great. Then they can release the new series meant for gaming at reasonable prices.

There's a reason I said almost and some. Also who makes nfs payback? Is it done by the same developers that did that old nfs game where switching from 30fps to 60fps would make the game run at double the speed? If so then you have your answer on why it performs the way it does.

There's no real point in benchmarking racing games since almost all of them just render a small bubble around the player. That's why some racing games can look photo realistic and run on low end hardware.

Good idea, something that I didn't consider. Sorry if good one is not a correct usage of the English language. English is not my first language. I apologize if I butchered the English language by using that.

Good one. When I have the time, I'll do it and see the result and post it here.

First of all next time I will also post what a picture, didn't cross my mind. And secondly it does this with a clean installation, even a low level format.

Now I want to ask is Malwarebytes really a trusted and good anti-malware software or not so much? Maybe even fake. I say this because I have a Windows 7 machine that has been installed from an ISO downloaded from Microsoft that sometimes when I scan with Malwarebytes it detects 5 problems, those being 5 bitcoin miners. Now here's the puzzling thing, it quarantines them, then I delete them and if I scan again no problems. But if I scan about 1 week later the same 5 are being detected again. Now obviously you would say, well it's because in the mean time you went online and somehow got the exact same miners. But here's the thing, this machine has not been connected to the internet all it after malwarebytes got rid of those 5 bitcoin miners. Oh and btw even when I do connect online there are no slowdowns or spikes on the cpu or gpu. So either the program is faulty and it detects problems that are not there, or they are but it can't do anything about them, or it detects phantom problems to make itself look like it's actually good so you'll buy it. Conspiracy theory. What do you think? Oh and I'm curious to see if someone else also has this issue.

The moment SSDs are price similar to HDDs, is the moment SSDs will destroy HDDs. And no getting a 120GB or a 240/250GB SSD for the OS and programs doesn't count. 1TB and up SDD priced as the cheapest 1TB HDD.

Any chance we're going to get this at or close to MSRP? Or will Nvidia change their slogan to "Nvidia The Way It's Meant To Be Mined" ?

Why did they go under or fail or whatever term is correct here? Was customer care horrible or what?

Yep.

WHAT?

That's something I wish to know as well. My guess is that H310 and B360 motherboards will be launched in April.

To sum it up, depending on the game it's either on par with a GT 1030 or above/below it by a little.

I would say about 3-4 years if you're willing to lower settings. Maybe even 5 if games don't get more demanding or poorly optimized.

To quote Linus "It depends". Because it really does depend. It depends on what quality settings you want to play at, if you're comfortable lowering the settings, what games you play or want to play, etc. basically it depends on you. Because the card can last 20+ years if it doesn't break.

And thus micro-transactions will live on forever.

Yes it actually is. Let me give you an example, years ago in my country some company from either Germany or Netherlands I can't recall exactly from where, installed the latest and greatest windmills for free. But guess what, nothing in this world is really free. Someone has to pay for it, someone always has to pay for it. And in this case it's the people. I pay for that installation each month. In my electric bill there's a tax that the government implemented, and they say for what that tax is. And interestingly enough that tax is actually about 20 times more expensive then the actual price of a kWh.

Do you know how any government works?

Yeah that's not how that works. They won't pay directly, but they will pay.

I actually wanted to post that and say that's the correct way to install cpus.

Honestly I've never see that before when making a DBan stick. Did you managed to get it working with Universal USB Installer? Oh another program that can low level format drives is HDDGuru Low Level format tool. You can install it in windows so it will work without problems. Downside to it is that the free version is limited to 50mb/s. A normal format just tells the os that its empty, but the data is still there. There's another type called low level format, where it wipes the data completely.

Ok, redo the stick but this time use Universal USB Installer and in it there's an option for Dban, select it and see if it works. Another option would be if you still have an optical drive, to make a bootable disk and boot from that.

You have to plug in that usb flash drive, restart your system and boot from the usb drive to start DBan. Then you'll see this: Follow the instructions and that's it.

Curious to see if this performs better.
