    I'd go with 144.

    StrayGuitarist reacted to homeap5 in Why is PDF editing so expensive?   
    Personally, I never understand Adobe Acrobat "greatness". It is for me most overpriced piece of software on PC. It costs more than many other graphics editors (that can export PDF too) without even basic functionality of them. For sure Acrobat has some very useful functions and options that makes it so expensive, but I don't know what. I really want some day someone explain me why it costs so much. I can mix vector graphics with bitmap and text in Corel (for example) which is expensive too, but not that much (and I know what I pay for).
     
    And yes - fully functional alternatives may be expensive too (like this one).
     
    If someone sends me PDF, then I don't really know what I get - it can contains loseless compressed bitmaps, jpegs, vector, text etc. Probably even movies when you encode them using some basic codec. Format (or container) for everything.

    Nothing will happen to the files of the programs when you reinstall windows. However they will not be installed on the new install of windows 10. You could in theory try and run the exe files manually but unfortunately most programs install secondary files in other places besides the program folder that are required to run so you really need to just reinstall the programs to get everything working correctly.
     
    Your safest best is to just delete the folders of each of the programs on your hard drive before you reinstall them. The one exception to this would be the Stream games and Origin game files. Both steam and Origin will discover the existing game files when you try and install the game again. Just make sure the install is pointing to the same directory that the game files already exist.

    StrayGuitarist reacted to WereCatf in "Less reputable" GPU brands   
    Both my boyfriend and I had INNO3D-branded GTX970's and there was nothing wrong with them or lower-quality than with any other brand. Cooling worked well, they were both very silent cards, overclocking worked fine -- there weren't any bells-and-whistles, but otherwise they were perfectly good cards.

    I've always had this assumption with regards to potentially less well known/ less 'reputable' brands like Zotac, PNY and INNO3D; my assumption has always been that these brands will make lower quality cards in some way compared to bigger brands like MSI, EVGA and Gigabyte because of the lower prices. Is this me making an incorrect assumption or is there some truth to this? Just curious.
     
    Thanks!

    Nah there is no harm in getting any of these brands though I would say out of all of them i would get a Zotac as they have been getting a good reputation in recent years.
    I almost went with a Zotac GPU myself, but i got my EVGA for real cheap.
    PNY seems to be more.... middly
    Not good, not bad
    Dont know much about INNO3D
