    If anyone else would like some advice, feel free to ask.

    The new GTX 980Ti has finally launched. And as predicted, it is a re-branded Titan X with a much better price tag & less VRAM.
    Recent Trades:
    Sold a 450+ EK to Omggg.
    Sold a 400+ RP and 165+ EK to Poppy218.
    Sold 100kk+ in Rowana (Open PVP) to many members.
    Bought characters from Baarj, HonkaPonka, and several others.
    Bought 520kk+ from Wobbz, PunktG, Ghazkyt, Reemow, and many others.

    Really thinking about buying a new desktop this autumn, wonder how long we have to wait til AMD drops the 300 series.

    I will probably buy the 290x for a reduced price, seems to be performing similiar to a gtx970 in the benchmarks..

    @J.Dre , running on an old wins 7 laptop, got a notification from Microsoft offering free upgrade to wins 10. Do you know if this is actually going to be a FULL free version? Had a few friends receive the same notification too.

    Yes, it's the full version - free upgrade for one year (12 months). After that, you have to pay to upgrade. Not sure how much.

    Windows 10 is the last Windows OS for a while... Microsoft has decided to release updates for Windows 10, like expansions for games.

    Cool AMD Fiji debuts in Fury X: Response to NVIDIA's Maxwell



    The R9 Fury X comes out on top in every single one of the following benchmarks. However, in a number of games, the result is much closer to a tie. And based on what we know of the 980Ti’s and Titan X’s performance, substituting the 980Ti with a Titan X will not do much to close the gap. Granted the Titan X will edge out Fury X in a handful of the tested games, but that’s not going to be enough to change the outcome.Fury X would still end up with more wins than losses.



    Price starts at a competitively set $649 with the 980Ti.

    You may also want to checkout their other Radeon R9 series products, like the R9 NANO, which performs better than the R290x.

    The only sad thing about AMDīs new top notch series is that it only surpasses nvidia cards in 4k. Other benchmarks for "normal" gaming are not as much in AMDīs favor..

    At least they're back in the game. That's what I'm happy about. Competition breeds success.

    Reasonable high performance will be around 800-1000 euros at least. Processor (100-200 euros (i5 series)) - Ssd (250gb 90-130€ - 500gb 170-200€) <-- would recommend it, but it is not a 'need' - HDD 3TB (120€) - At least a videocard of 2GB (120-200 euros) <-> 4gb (200-400 euros) -RAM(8gb ~ 40-60€ --- 16GB ~ 100-150€) - Motherboard (90-150€) - Power supply at least 600W (20-120€) - Case (Mid tower (40-120€) Full tower (90-200€))
