I got a gtx 260 off of craigslist for $20 while I wait for the 1070.

Why is this such an awesome card?

>besides not being able to run dx11
>besides 180+ watts

Its $20. What more do you want?

Fucking shit.

Had Two even well into Skylake

Run most games on 1080p flawlessly

enjoy

I'm saying its an awesome card. I literally see no difference from the gtx 960 I had previously. And it's like 6 years older.

If I can find another for around the same price then I will definitely try out sli.

>not getting 2 480s
wew lad

Do you want to start a housefire?

Running 2 480's would cost you approx $400 + $78.89/year based on $0.12/Kwh electricity bill.

If you are dumb enough to get the founders edition 1070 it will cost $450 + $39.44/kWh in electricity.

This means in 1.2 years you will be paying more for the 2 RX 480's.

>96 x2 watts under load
>housefire
never change nvidiots

somehow i doubt that unless you have a massive cpu bottleneck going on.

I thought he was planning to get 2 GTX 480.

if someone says 480 in 2016 they mean the non housefire amd one

>tfw remember paying £260 for my GTX260

BRUTHAAA

Why don't they have cards without covers anymore?

>Buying Nvidia
>Ever

fuck off shills

AMD for Life

I remember my GTX 260. It was the best card I ever had. Decent performance, fan quiet at 100%, and very low temps. It idled in the 30s.

But Nvidia is dead to me now.

...

Assuming the TDP's are accurate, and they're 100% loaded at all times.

In reality 480 Crossfire probably uses around 220 watts
1070 uses around 170 watts
Call it 32 hours of gaming a week, 480 crossfire needs $3.38 a month, 1070 needs $2.61. Means 65 months to equal out.

Nvidia used to be honest?

>bought a used card for 20$
>shill
what the fuck are you smoking

Yeah they cut the bus but told you about it

I have the Quadro version of this card.
It's incredibly terrible. I wanted to get another one to put in SLI with the first one but when I noticed that the air path was mainly getting out from the bottom of the card, I stepped back.
It gets terrible framerates in the rare games I tried. On Metal Gear Revengeance, it's terrible, and it can't handle TF2 on medium at 60 FPS.
Now, it runs Battlefield 1942 all fine but, come on...

No, it was a time when 896MB "looked" more than 1GB

>using a Quadro card for gaymen

I fucking hope you're just baiting badly

>2010+6
>not owning a fermi

I don't use it for gamen, I just got it in a computer that I traded, but I still tried gayming on it.

calm down, he's one of those "hurr it costs more it wil be epig win gud for gams" people

>costs more
>he got it included in another computer
yes :)

only 32 hrs a week? thats a light 3 days of gaming...
