Well I was looking to spend under $300 and the cheapest GTX 970 on Newegg is $330. I can get a 4GB Vram GTX 760 for $254.99 or a 2GB Vram GTX 760 for $219.99.

Only $30 more for the 970 is so worth waiting for. But if your CPU is still the E7500, then you're going to be bottlenecked by that. So it's either a slower GPU first or a faster CPU.
Though it depends on your usage, I'd go for a CPU first. 10-06-2014, 04:45 AM
GTX 960 is the thing to wait for. The GTX 760 will definently be beaten pretty badly by the GTX 960.

@Garteal
I believe he's using an i7 950 right now.

It can't have any encryption due to the nature of satellite and proxy, vpn would have massive slowdown. Just use your router. Shonumi Wrote:Core classes?

I don't think you could have reasoned with him/he even if they tried being rational in their argumentation. Some of the folks in the CRT camp, the bias is strong with them. The points about flicker were classic, however; such a shrewd display of not knowing anything about anything. 10-06-2014, 07:10 AM

Here. Have some more. This was the first email he sent me.:

About piping through the router. The problem with that is https sites bypass router filters and host files.

@xtreme
Easiest solution: Just limit her speed to some painfully low bandwidth until she stops. Most routers allow throttling for specific IP/MAC addresses right out of the box.

Yeah I looked for that but this Actiontec is hideously complex and doesn't seem possible to limit throughput on a per use basis. My sister alone went through a gigabyte in a day. My mother yelled at her but she's very defiant, has a retort/answer for everything, very short fuse with bad attitude so she's doing it all the more now. My parents won't cut her off, the high usage is only happening when she's connected to the router.
I just blocked a bunch of streaming sites, download sites, windows update but the filter won't work for secure (https) sites then there's skype video/voice chat. It would be nice to know what is using the data such as what websites she's going on. That information doesn't seem to be in router logs. The data is still going down because I don't know what she's doing since she won't let me access to her laptop. What cdn or ip/url are youtube videos loaded from? If I can't block https I can at least nullify videos by preventing them from loading. |
