Yeah, but how many games can you fit on there? i know for certain that all the games in my Steam library + Origin aren't gonna fit on my SSD, and I don't have the time nor really feel like I should have to uninstall/reinstall as needed. Only way I would probably attempt is if I had a half TB SSD or bigger. But fukk. Titanfall is already 45-50 GB. Then BF4 is around 25. Two games and over a quarter of the space on the SSD.

For a while I had BF4 installed on my SSD, but maybe I wasn't paying attention to the times, but I never saw it load much faster or anything, tho I"m sure it probably does at least a little. My OS is loaded on my SSD and my pc reboots in 7 secs flat. But SSD prices need to come down before I start putting all my shyt on them. I want a quality SSD too, so that aint helpin wit the price.

I put my steam games on my 3 TB HDD

I put games that require loading times like Elder Scrolls Online on my SSD

I've been meaning to ask: I have an XFX 7970 that I game on, but I don't game that often. Can/should I mine with it? Would I have to modify my PC?
You won't have to modify anything, just get CGMiner and set everything up. Just make sure your cooling solution is up to par because your card will get hot.

check out this guide and skip to where you have to get cgminer, join a pool and shyt.

I use netcodepool.org and multipool.us. I suggest mining DOGE as its been the most profitable altcoin to mine for the past 2+ months already...then sell on cryptsy for bitcoin/litecoin or digitalcoin

Is it way too late to get into mining now?

How much money do you make a month mining?

How much do you spend on electricity?

How much did you spend on your set up?

What's shadow play all about? I thought that was only for recording games or something
Normally recording software equals a hit in your frames pre second in your game shadow play doesn't hurt your gaming when recording. The recorded files look great and are not big as programs like fraps. It has the name shadow play mainly because he has a feature that allows you to even same gameplay that you haven't recorded, ex: last 5mn-20min worth of gameplay.

yup. I figured by now they would have VR systems in common house holds. This the first one that's at a reasonable price (they usually use to sale for thousands of dollars)


Imma wait and see how it fairs. Dont want it to be like the Virtual Boy that only had like 6 games(besides it being shytty and all in general)
