Any used Geforce GTX 970 to do mining bitcoins or ethereum

um...... crappy drivers? really?! Ive been using an msi gtx 970 for 2 years and never once had any issues. i use both amd and intel hardware but i know what bad drivers are. i have a lot more trouble with my rx 480, nvidia almost always has the best drivers for games.

start of thread: "save your pennies for about a year or two so you don't have to go to newegg or amazon or eBay or were ever you buy you budget 970, 1060, 480, 780, 580, 660 ti graphic cards. And once you got about 900 dollars you can buy a used titan and then you can come play with the big boys" end of thread: "I agree completely, buy what you can afford!!!!"

True..... I agree completely, buy what you can afford!!!! My personal recommendations, I've own them all at one time or another except for the Vega and Fury's. These are all great cards. Titian, GTX 1080,GTX 1070,GTX 1060,GTX 970,GTX 690, RX Vega, R9 Fury, R9 Fury X, R9 Fury Nano, RX 580,RX 570, RX 480, RX 470, R9 390, R9 290, HD7990. I get bored with GPU's fast, I've had four this year alone.... Happy gaming Snake6250

this could just be how i feel, but how about ppl just get the card that meets their needs and wants instead of lunging at each others throats.

It’s December, my favorite time of the year, and you’re trying to get me out of my Christmas Spirt!!! I had a hard time understanding what you were saying. It sounds like you’re stuttering when you type... It sounded alot like Blah blah gamer, Blah blah 1080, Blah blah peasant... Well got to go be awesome, and spread joy to the word, Happy Holidays too all...., you too Kisendi

Are You sure You're a gamer or just someone with more money than brain? If You want gaming performance You go with a 1080. And since the Titan U bought was the same price as Your Titan U still cant ownd since unless You make WORK on your computer, it is a waste of good money. Sometimes better to keep your opinions to yourself especially since most console players still cannot enjoy games as we do. And yes, Im using a "peasant" GTX970. Get real rook

JoeSchmoe!!! What you doing, are we gonna have a pissing contest next? I can’t help imagining how much awesomer the world would be, if your dad would of just pulled out. I’m done for now... So If you’re waiting for me to care cupcake, I hope you packed a lunch ‘cause it’s gonna be a really long time...

I don't need 3 jobs, I have one that pays me more than all 3 of yours combined.

Bury your head in the sand like a good little Ostrich.

DRS simply mentioned what he owned as opposed to you who state how your Titan shits all over the place.

DRSEIRE...... Please don't tell me this is your gaming PC..... Boy.... I'm about to roast you..... You say you have a Titan, but you can't afford some decent speaker to hear with....... TRASH...... You got a widescreen to play MINECRAFT... For real thou.... The back of you head looks like Steve from minecraft, but in real life..... https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/782f349343e9d246fad22bd24646d8426da58bd986f0d026fb3441dde2c4fdc1.jpg

DRSEIRE, "I have a Titan Xp but don't brag about", you just did.... I have a 34" widescreen too, so whats your point.... If you don't like what I say, ignore me... Kinda like how I ignore Donald Trump news..... Good day to you....

I have a Titan Xp but don't brag about it like you. I also have a PG348Q and htc vive. Shall I tell you more? You are a complete fool. Absolute idiot.

Only it's hardware is out of date. Its software is tailor made for gaming, and consistently works. PC on the other hand, a million different moving parts, a million different things that can and do go wrong. Even the people with the knowledge to fix these things, aren't going to want to over and over again. That's why people prefer consoles. It's mainly exclusives though. I could never do without the exclusives Playstation has. The type of games the deliver are exactly the kind I love so PS4 is definitely the one for me. But I have a PC as well so I'm pretty much set. Even got Zelda BotW kind of working on my PC

but he wasn't making fun of console gamers, he was reminding people of the futility or arguing 970 vs 1060 when they both get shit on by other GPU's.

Yea I don't get it. Like if the 1150 ti, or whatever's next for Nvidia is better than my 1060, I'd say that's a good thing. I wouldn't get butthurt and claim the 1060 is better because it has a higher bus or something of that nature lol I don't know why people get defensive over hardware like that. It's all about the games for me. Talk shit about games I love is the only way I get defensive

True.... higher bus on older GPU won't matter. Newer GPU's have way more cuda cores or stream processors, better cooling and newer technology..... It's funny that people like Nikos hold on too old tech....., there's nothing wrong with having it, just don't justify its better than newer technology. But I think you made your point, just thought that picture was funny...

I didn't say it doesn't matter, I said it wasn't the point. I mentioned the 7850 because I owned one, and knew it has a much higher bus than 1060, but doesn't come anywhere close to it in terms of performance. My point wasn't the brand, it was that having a higher bus doesn't guarantee better performance. I'm sure you know that already though
