Whats your pc?

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

I would agree, but jlv has said that Nvidia's OpenGL drivers are better than AMD's in his experience, so im not sure if it would be worth it spending the extra money for the 280x over the 960. Also I know a lot of people knock the 4gb 960 saying its a marketing strategy and such but in your case Zoa, you could definitely use the extra memory. You like doing screenshots and stuff right? Having 4gb you could load higher texture resolutions even if your fps isnt playable it will be good for screenshots. I think the 280x has 4gb too though so either one. Hell, your card now has 4gb lol. I would say save the money and get the 960 just because nvidia drivers run mxs better. Or save more money and get a 970

The 960 is another option but I think the 380x is more future proof with better DX 12 implementation. If I was going to suggest Nvidia I would just wait for Pascal TBH although it might be a bit of a wait for the mid tier cards to be available.

If Pascal lives up to the hype, the wait will be well worth it

Definitely go with the 380x. Practically the same price and it outperforms the 960 in most cases.

So I plugged my HDD into my brothers computer and was swapping a bunch of tracks and stuff I had in my personal folder over to his rather than just downloading them all over again. Well in the process, I switched ownership of the HDD, not allowing me to sign into my account on my PC anymore. So I was finding a work around to get the ownership switched back over so I could access my main account and ended up deleting literally everything on the HDD in the process... You've got to be kidding me...

I had a few tracks I was in the middle of making and they were pretty far along, so that stings and my suspension settings as well as stability settings I have no idea where I had them. Went to System Restore to find a point to restore to, but apparently it was never turned on. Fuck.

Doing that as we speak. So far it's found over 600,000 files. Should be fun to sift through, hopefully there's a search option...
