I would vote sandisk as they don't slow down there drives.

I have a sandisk in my pc and it's not screwed up at all yet and it's a brilliant budget pc for gaming on.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

Probably the sandisk but I would try save up a little more and get like a crucial bx100 ($10 more) or even mx100 ($20 more)

I chose sandisk, but that's between the two. I really suggest some sort of samsung ssd.

To be completely honest with you...

I have a 240gb V300, and it performs just fine. Windows boots in under 10 seconds, everything is snappy, on CrystalDiskMark is shows I'm getting 450mb/s read and write.

People say they suck, yet they've never used one before, and from my experience, there's nothing wrong with them.

They switched the flash, then switched it back, some of them are good, some are not. Not worth trying to get a good one.

Its not about them being shit - its their shoddy business practice that we do not support, therefore, I do not recommend them, as do most people on the forum

 

The fact is, you are not sure if you get one of the good ones or not...,since they dont advertise which flash they are using and they switched them

The problem is what kingstoin did with slowing them down from the reviewer model to model that consumers got there hands on which has ruined there reputation.

So you don't recommend 970s ?? or any Nvidia GPUs ?

Will this is the V300 which is good relatively but there is the Sandisk which in this case I would recommend it.

But in my experience my 60GB is pretty good and it has the advertised speeds.

I recommend all nvidia GPUs because of AMDs shitty drivers and lack of game support, at least the Nvidia cards perform correctly, the 970 thing is not much of an issue, though at least know we know abuot it, we can recommend it, and state the VRAM situation

 

The problem with the V300 is.. we have NO idea what batch the drives are from... is it from the slow batch or the good batch?  its not the best SSD on the market, when better SSDs are similar priced or $10 more

So you are just not recommending that drive and not anything related to Kingston will be bad and won't be recommended by you ?

Shitty drivers ??? not to my experience and there support is somewhat good.

I am not slating the whole of Kingston, just the V300 specifically I cannot recommend I cannot guarantee the speeds/quality of the flash used

 

Yeah, for example, that thing about Project CARS and AMD not doing anything to optimise, poor performance in GTA 5 and other games on AMD - and their pretty meh FX CPUs - some of their GPUs are great bang for buck (my laptop uses AMD GPUs) and I DO still recommend their GPUs because of their price to performance - just with warnings about certain things - I have always found Nvidia performance more consistent

I misunderstood you, I thought you meant everything related to Kingston is bad just because of there V300 series.

We are talking about GPUs so bringing CPUs to the discussion is just worthless and pointless.

Will I can't disagree about that, but my experience has been great, no micro stuttering, no crashing from no where, and some other issues.

I have never had a problem with AMD drivers. They install easy, never crash, and GTA 5 performs just fine.

What exactly do you mean by "Nvidias performance is more consistent"? That makes no sense to me

Also, from what I can see, you are comparing a laptop GPU to a 780ti...

just talking about in general, I study a lot of benchmarks, there are quite often issues with AMD driver at launch, its not every game etc, but it happens more often than you think

 

I have more experience than just my own hardware
