I know that feeling.

My collection of nVidia GPUs is actually a little ridiculous, so purchased a 290 last night for "Mantle" testing.

Now I feel like im wasting money because I can buy a 780 Classy for $470 and a 780 for 420! Those are some damn nice prices, nVidia prices look so damn delicious right now for gamers.

Yeah I don't give a shite.

They are just RMA'd cards which had been fixed or something dumb like returned for low ASC score.

I feel more confident purchasing used from EVGA directly than buying used off eBay. (Even though I do for spares)

Edt: I want another 690 so damn bad. It'll make a damn nice a SteamBox card. The 690 is by far my favorite card I've owned, even over my Titans and TIs.

I know right! Fckking 420 for 2304 cores! I mean, shtt.

Sad part is, just last September I paid 769 for a 780 Lightning which didn't offer to much greater performance in gaming compared to reference models. Now you can get brand new 780s for 499 and these b-stocks for 419.

I'm glad prices dropped. Let's all gamers experience high end PC gaming.

That is nasty lol.

My first big boy job was a green ground project so we set up our office trailers in the middle of the cane field. Well, winter came and mice made our office trailers their winter hide outs. Every morning we would have to change the first 5-10pgs inside the copier machines because the mice would piss, shtt and make love inside the machines.

Lol yeah, they loved the copier machines because of that.

As for cats being killing machines, we declawed the front and back on both the GF's cats. They can't kill shite, so they are truely useless now.

None?

I haven't used any anti virus software since probably 04-05. No need to run that junk and all it does is cause problems.
