You overpaid. You're better off spending $800 and upgrading 3 times as often.

- gtaylor 13y agoParticularly with GPUs. I wouldn't touch something like Nvidia's Titan unless I just had gobs of money lying around.
- zanny 13y agoWell yeah, something like the Titan has no price / performance at all. Usually the best valuation is around $200, ie, an r7 270x or a 760. And if you want a premium card, 280x / 770 are both devouring modern titles. Anything past that is "I want the best there is right now, screw the cost".
- simplemath 13y agoJust picked up an r9 280x ERRRRRRRR... Asus CUII 7970 from Fry's for $279 Happily ran BF4 beta on High/Ultra 2x MSAA at 1080P.
- usaphp 13y agoThat's not the point. He said he can run any modern game on high settings on the computer he bought 3 years ago, I doubt you can play any game in 2016 on high settings if you buy a computer for $800 today.

- afterburner 13y agoI can do the same, also with a $1000 computer bought in 2010.
- vacri 13y agoWhy does no-one ever factor in the costs of transferring systems in this upgrade process? It's not trivial to set up a new system and bring your stuff over.
