Yeah but it still is capable of gtx 980< performance, so definitely worth it, especially with the price drop that just happened.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Have you tried typing on a logitech g910? If you haven't you should know that a common complaint is the "shaped" keycaps which I (and a great deal of people) find catch on our fingers between keystrokes. You might not have this problem, but if you have human fingers as apposed to the alien fingers this keyboard seems designed for then it is very likely you will end up not enjoying it.
