  1. I'm out due to real life, and other interests that pull me away seasonally, but the biggest reason is I'm just not satisfied with the Sims, with my current GPU, and I can't convince myself it's worth the expense considering my lack of free time to loaf off on the PC.

    That being said, I miss the crap out of you guys!!!

  2. Thanks Crash, I asked here first because I know and trust my Friends before the rest.

    I am more interested in the 4k but would like to be able to do VR if so inclined, to spend the money on it.

    I just spent a grand on a 42" LG 4K TV designed for gaming.

    It is sweet, 4k looks awesome on it even with the 970, but it lacks the hsp, for BOS AND DCS but original IL2 AND COD type games once the config is tweak, smooth as butter, and gorgeous for what they are, were.

    o I now finally have a monitor that will display 2" gauges, @ 2" so I can lock in my seat position and Head track from there, and throw away my zoom key, this should create a realistic sized atmosphere roughly even without VR. I think anyway.

  3. So EVGA announced they were not going to offer the 4k series of Nvidia.

    I'm a bit bummed over that, I have been saving to jump into a new card at that level, since It took so long to get there and the pricing looks like it won't be much more or different than the 3k series has been for way too long.

    Any recommendations on other makers?

    I have an ASUS 970 atm but not impressed on it physical structure. I had to brace it to keep it from sagging in the case.

    All my older EVGA were built like tanks.

    NewEgg has been promoting off brands that I'm unfamiliar with Yeaston, Maxsun etc.

    I have a Gigabyte Mobo and it has been flawless, so I'd consider one of their cards.

    All my ASUS mobo's and this 970 have worked flawlessly through the years.

    I had an AsRock and MSI bite me though.

    I may still consider a 3080/90 depending on how and if the 4k series affects the pricing.

    I haven't done any research on the latest from Radeon, any of you?

    Thanks in advance.

  4. I'd say keep, I just found out last night the UBI has deleted the Maddox forums.

    I was trying to remember this command fps START SHOW

    and I could not find it anywhere, for an hour and finally remembered it myself.

    needless to say, I was gutted to find out I could not utilize that area for memory jarring.

    Not to mention all the lost words from our fallen through the years.

    Toad,

     

    My heart goes out to you. My Dad just had another "attack" and ended up in the hospital. Luckily they fixed him up and he is now back home. Dealing with family health issues are never fun and although with my Dad who is 87, health issues were not unexpected. My wife, on the other hand, has really changed my perspective and what I thought retirement would be.

     

    All the best Toad and I wish you much good will.

     

    Lui

    ll the best to you and yours aswell Zucker

  6. Sorry to hear this Zukker, same things here almost.

    We lost my Mom to dementia last fall.

    We just lost my Dad In-law to Pancreatic cancer, in May on my Wife's Birthday of all days.  He didn't fight it due to previous surgeries, leaving him with only one blood vessel feeding his stomach, due to previous bought with throat cancer 16 years ago. He made it another 18 months healthy sharp and able to take care of most things up till the last three weeks. I did get him fishing twice to a spot 3 1/2 hours away and camped for a few days each time. Get your Dad out there if at all possible.

    Now my Mom in-law is requiring our help now that he has passed, he was able to tend to her almost right up to the end.

    Plus not to mention all the added work of two house holds, here locally to chase.

    We struggled for over 5 years with my wife's health, but finally went Holistic and now she has here plethora of ailments under control.

    I hope you can get your Wife's under control!!!

    Good luck and see ya once we survive and figure all this out.

    Dealing with our Circle of people fading away and all the material things that have to be dealt with, when your mood is not in it plain sucks!!!

  7. Ah, I too have been watching this decline in pricing.

    My thought too little too late is, get the biggest and fastest you can afford, so what if it bottle necks the cpu, in the next year or two, it will probably need replaced any how. Then your card may be enough still or your next bottle neck LOL
