Little puppy

im thinking of upgrading my nephews 750Ti LP to a 1050Ti LP (if i can sell my GPU's), how do You like this one?? i know some pople think they are weak, but i know they arent, & that they can actually crank out some decent FPS.... is it serving you well?

 

[ASOT]

Yes,i m really impres about is performance,i got gta 5 on high to verry high and texture to high,must say i exceed the vrma but no stuttering or else

I put in skylake build,doom and gta tested for 1 hours play and is great for the money.i bought for the htpc and squeeze all performance from it.

I miss only gtx 1070 from Pascal and have all,the 1050ti is worth it if find cheap and want the extram vram for safe with BF1,GTA,etc games.

The htpc is i3 6100/h110/8 Gb/2 Tb Seagate 7200 rpm/Evga 500w

Got this in today

Got a 6 foot DP to DP cable for my new monitor posted earlier. I tried physical retail first, but you are disappoint. Went to four places and the best I could find was DP to HDMI adapters at two of them, so I bought the cable off Amazon instead.

Got this for my dad's PC, when I went back home for vacation. The old 36GB Raptor was too loud, slow and small. But then again it is more than 10 years old with god knows how many hours of uptime and written TB. It served us well. And still working without a single bad sector.

Don't really know how this Patriot will perform, but it was the cheapest 60GB one (he doesn't need more) and it has a 3Y warranty.

i have the exactly same SSD oops i have the Blaze variant but: quite fine for the price and reliable, speed wise it's not bad at all, i use it for one game unfortunately but i used it for a OS drive on a mITX build, i would use it for a OS drive again,
once i will get either a new 1tb SSHD or a 480/500gb SSD (rather the SSHD ... why pay 3 time the price for half the capacity ... speed doesn't justify that )

With my 750 TI I was able to also play GTA five at fairly high settings 1080 P while recording it and was pretty impressed with how well it ran of course the 750 only has 2 GB of Vram

I bought one of these a few years back ...they're really good. I like to use the motion detection feature to freak people out ...it can act as a security recording device that only activates when someone walks by your PC . The microphones even though there's two of them don't have the greatest quality but for what it is it works for all WebCam related activities

A little tip I've learned when dealing with logitech take pictures of your serial numbers on the box and on the cord before hooking it all up because if you ever need support it's a wicked pain in the butt to have to go unplug it and find the box in some cases

Yeah, he's using it as an OS drive as well. Has a 2TB HDD for everything else. Also his board is SATA2 and he is not a power user so no point in getting something faster.

Another card for mining is my guess....

I thought your electricity was too expensive to achieve a nice profit from mining?

That's right.

Arrived from Amazon yesterday, just in for the Steam sale games to be installed.

 

[kurosagi01]

Finally bought my first Mechanical Keyboard..a Corsair Strafe with Cherry MX Red keys,bought from Argos which was same price on Amazon and Scan for £99.99..so i went to my local Argos which had one available,entered the product catalogue number and manage to crash 2 of their machines lol..typed it in onto the self checkout machine and it came up. Got it in time for Steam sales too as i just bought Shadow of Mordor and Doom from sales.

 

[ASOT]

+10 FPS now

 

[ozkisses]

Impressed @kurosagi01, have you used it yet and if so what's the verdict?

Haven't used it yet as i was at the GF parents house yesterday until evening,i'll be trying it out later today after work and gym..just started replaying Mass effect 1 which will be first game i'll be trying out while Doom is downloading. Will come to verdict soon though..but my comparison will be against a CM Storm Devastator Membrane keyboard.

 

[ASOT]

+10 for the gym

 

[ozkisses]

Pretty sure you'll be coming back to report with a smile on your face

 

[kurosagi01]

Well my first impression...i f*cking love it! it feels so nice to type and holy crap is it responsive,build quality feels so much better than the cheap CMStorm that i had. The red LEDs is really nice but i got mismatch with my desktop theme but its all good..The Corsair software is pretty nice and easy to use, the space bar is really nice touch too as it got rubber feel to them. Haven't played any games yet as i am just enjoying typing on this keyboard. Touch-typing has never felt this good to me.

 

[scevism]

Got some air dusters to clean up the pc. Only 1 pound each at poundworld bargain grab them if your in the uk peps.

 

[ozkisses]

Well my first impression...i f*cking love it!

That's the verdict I was hoping for lol
