How did you go from medical research to UX?

I have a broad background in research in general (qual and quant). They wanted somebody with a broad background that could do all kinds of research, so it worked out well

@Orbital-Fetus get in here

It's the end of an era

Oh I would. I mentioned it a few months ago. I'm into buying a pre-built PC now. OriginPC seems like the best option. I'm done with buying parts, building shyt, and RMA'ing with different companies (and you know I RMA a ton of shyt. I've RMA'd ram and GPU multiple times). OriginPC also has an upgrade plan where you can trade in your old shyt (like GPUs and CPUs and Mobos) and get the latest and greatest. It cost about $1K more (with insurance and the upgrade plan, etc.), but it's worth it to me. I'm done building

I don't care what none of you say, I'm going with OriginPC. My next setup will be a monster and it'll continue to be a monster with the 3 year upgrade plan. fukk building shyt and RMAing with different companies. I'm done with that. I'm going to the dark side

I gotta move out there. I'm in Houston currently and I start my new job in DC on 8/15. It's a good job too. No more boring medical research. It's a UX job, testing a variety of things (including new tech).

Congrats man

Big Pascal

$1200

I'll be waiting for the 1080ti

@Ciggavelli What you about to do now?

My two 1080s will outperform it. $1200 is a bit much for 1 GPU too. I'll wait for the 1080tis before I sell my 1080s. My 1080s cut through everything, so it's just diminishing returns at this rate. Unlike my last upgrade (780tis to Titan Xs), I don't need any more power.

 

[Everything Zen]

a bit shocked that they decided to pass on HBM2 for big pascal. guess them yields still shytty or something

I'll try to keep in contact with the cool cats on here, but I have realized over the past few months that I have grown tired of this forum on multiple levels. None of the "jokes" are funny nor amusing anymore. I also don't feel comfortable that this site is viewed as a racist forum by some people on sites like reddit and such.

I will log in from time to time to check my messages and such, but I don't care to mod nor really participate in this forum anymore.

Take it easy.

Liquid...You SOHH/Coli fam for life...come on back.

I might buy the Titan X Pascal (maybe 2)

I changed my mind

We'll see come August 2nd.

I was thinking of putting my 1080s in my old machine and using the Titan Pascals for 1440pX3. We'll see. I might just wait and buy an OriginPC with the Titan Pascals in it though. Gotta lot of thinking to do

 

[Ciggavelli]

@liquid, what have you done to us? You allowed PS4 to take your place

You were a good mod. To bad this site is full of bullshyt, but I understand

Starbound was officially released today

I bought it a year or two ago. Might actually play it now
