Bang Bang Packers gang!

Basically I had an order cancel on me and no longer need the card.
Well the 280 is a bit faster than the 270, 256-bit bus vs 384. As far as nvidia cards go? Choice is up to you breh, but usually you get better price/performance from Radeon cards.
If you are interested let me know via PM.
Zero, never been used

:ohmy1: BF4 load times has been cut in what seems like more than half when running off the SSD.
Oh and that Mantle secret sauce is something else. :ohmy1:
I just ran through a 64 player map with the framerate not dropping at all below 59fps. I thought the framerate counter was broken so I had to up the resolution scale just to make sure. At 200% it finally dropped to 30fps.
I'm not worthy enough.

You never thought of running games off an SSD until now?@daze23

I never bothered to make room. I had to literally clean out my SSD JUST to make space for BF4. I'm only 1GB free on my SSD as BF4 was 26GBs.You never thought of running games off an SSD until now?
The SSD load times is pretty great though but for other games it didn't seem to be much different. BF4 was the main game that took forever to load. Everything else though straight.
@Ciggavelli I feel you on these PC's making a nikka go crazy. Just a couple of weeks ago I was trashing AMD and Mantle saying they were poor and now for some odd reason simply switching out my video card for some reason fixed my performance. I'm literally in awe at how perfectly smooth BF4 is playing on my shyt at what seems to be a locked 60fps. I've literally never seen the game THIS smooth. Just one day BF4 was the WORST playing game I've ever played in my life on PC and now it's literally running as if I have some super high end rig.
I'm mad I can't record this shyt with the gaming evolved app since I'm running off of Mantle.Now if only Watchdogs can get improved.

There doesn't seem to be an in-between.
Can't use an SSD for much myself, got too much data. 1 2TB, 1 1TB, 2 500GB. SSD doesn't havce capacity... yet. 
I'm with you. I have a 500gb ssd and I still feel like it's not enough. I throw all my steam games and tv shows on a 4tb hdd and all my music on a 3tb. The ssd is for everything else.Can't use an SSD for much myself, got too much data. 1 2TB, 1 1TB, 2 500GB. SSD doesn't havce capacity... yet.
Listening to music waiting for my sound card to fail to see if I can find a pattern is surprisingly fun 
You put your OS and games on the same SSD?
I used to. but now I have two SSD's
BF4 load times with a HDD are ridiculous. half the time the match would end before it got finished loading and I would have to wait for it to load yet another map@daze23

I still keep all my data on a HDD. seems like a waste to put music and shyt on a SSD, as there really is no benefit. your OS and games benefit the most from it. besides faster load times, most 'open world' games will run better, as they tend to have to stream a lot of data from the driveCan't use an SSD for much myself, got too much data. 1 2TB, 1 1TB, 2 500GB.
