This is making it hard to upgrade for me. Everything is so overpriced right now.
If you don't want to mine sell that 7870 and purchase nVidia. Then sale nVidia card if you want AMD back once prices drop and stocks are refreshed.
One reason stock is low on 280Xs is because the new chip is being released. They cut stock about 2-3weeks ago for the Tahiti XLT or whatever chip.

740m benchmarks
You will be able to play most games right now but at reduced settings. I wouldn't plan on streaming though.

Find something with a 1080p screen. It'll be a huge jump from 768. An ssd or 7200 HDD would make a huge difference too
But everything else should be pretty good for streaming

I've thought about it. I can't make up my mind so I keep deciding not too since we need to save money anyway.

I'm trying to find a laptop that will be good for streaming, and possibly good for some gaming. However, I can only purchase from AAFES, and i'd like for it to be under $1,000 if possible.
Anyone want to take a look and see which one (if any) would be my best choice? AAFES.com laptop choices

Just look at the lower section where it shows FPS.
Posted on 12/6/13 at 6:33 pm to Mr Gardoki
Yea, I am pretty much PC retarded. That entire page looks like mumbo jumbo haha. I am trying to understand it, but I don't even see where you are talking about it mentioning FPS.

Mostly looking to stream using Hauppauge HD PVR 2 with the Xsplit program to stream to twitch.
As far as games, I was thinking of possibly getting into DayZ. It seems like it would be a fun game.

I'm about to cash in my 7970 too I think. Going to list it tonight.

better to sell on ebay or amazon? amazon does seem to have higher prices currently.
Posted on 12/6/13 at 8:16 pm to jcole4lsu
Yes, yall should sell all of your AMD cards and stop mining. Amazon is a good bet, much lower fees too.

Nope but I do want to get rid of this 7970 and swap it out for something else. I think the bubble on LC will pop soon. It's not like BC IMO.

Check out BTC-e and grab the popcorn.
