So I have a 760 and want to upgrade. What's my best upgrade path?

If your not bothered by 4K then I'd recommend the 1060 6GB. Been fine for me so far. Suppose it's down to how much you want to spend.

I've been thinking about this myself as i still have a 770 2gb and the 6gb 1060 is still out of my league. The 1050ti has 4gb and is reasonably priced however i haven't looked at memory speeds and the other numbers under the hood to compare.

How likely are you to upgrade your monitor?


I understand that seems like a silly question but the price difference between Freesync and G-Sync displays makes the AMD lath worth considering if you're planning a monitor upgrade anytime soon. Freesync displays start at £110, G-Sync start at £380.

Just remembered I can get cards for trade prices thanks to work. Going to see what I can do with the 1050ti or 1060. :>

Been playing Trine Enchanted Edition over the past few days.

It's kinda bland. Looks nice in places, that's about it really. Feels like I've been doing the same thing over and over with very little variance. Not a big fan of these type of puzzles, they feel kinda lazy.

Holy strawberry float Origin is gooseberry fool. I was able to buy, download and install all 7GB of Rime on Steam all while Origin 'prepared' a 2.8GB patch for Titanfall 2.

Alright, guys, I know "don't strawberry floating vacuum your PC", but, like, I was shifting some stuff around to make way for a new GPU and noticed there's a lot of dust in the fans. Specifically, the radiator for the CPU water loop, about 4 inches from the motherboard. I should be good to take the hoover to that, right? Surely there isn't enough static built up on the hose to discharge to the motherboard from there, right? The intake has a removable dust filter, and all the other fans blow vertically, so it's really just this one spot and I don't want to have to faff around with compressed air blowing dust everywhere if I can avoid it.

Blow the compressed air through the fan with the hoover on the other side to suck it all up.
