I bought a 960 3 years ago because I was a student at the time and the extra $100 wasn't worth it to me at the time. My desktop is 9 years old now so I'm not upgrading a graphics card in something that will be replaced in a year or so.

I bought a 970 three years ago, and it served me well. This week I bought myself a 1070 ti, a 9600K and a new motherboard and ram to go with it for under 950.

Took the plunge since my 2500K has finally started to show it's age and I'd really like to fully utilize my ultrawide monitor. Prices have come down a lot but I reckon you'll see them drop even further in the months to come. As someone said, Nvidia is in a bit of a bind right now. Doesn't help that the 20XX series is having some serious teething issues.

On that note, anyone want to buy a 970?

Are the troops stationed at the border even affecting any change of anything? Has it, reduced illegal crossings, or caused the fence to be erected more quickly? If they truly are stationed there and absolutely nothing is coming of it, that’s sad as hell.

Having soldiers deployed in lovely places for years with no change in outcome is unprecedented

Reminder that most illegal immigrants don’t cross illegally, or even by land. They just overstay visas.

As to whether drugs cross the land border between legal crossings... c’mon, you really think they do that kind of volume outside of an infrastructure?

My 970 is really showing its age with BFV, but that's only partly the card. It's proc-intensive too and I have something like an i5-6700 or whatever, it wasn't top shelf in early 2016 when I bought it.

I'm looking at a cool $800 to upgrade either the cpu/motherboard or the 3D card, and I am fairly sure I'd get more out of the CPU upgrade.

I drunk purchased a 980 TI in early 2016 when they went on sale and it's still purring along great in every game in 2k 21:9 (except PUBG) almost 3 years later.

Yeah, my 970 was perfectly fine in BF1, and is still great with all the other games I play, it's just BFV being a lot heavier on everything, and I'd guess I'd chug along smoothly at 60+ fps with a mix of high/ultra if it weren't for the CPU bottleneck. Its brutal on 4-core procs.

Was veteran every used before to describe service members or how'd that work?

Nope. The word died after WW2, because the original use for it was someone that had gained considerable experience in combat. America using 'veteran' for literally every person ever in the military has always been weird to us. We didn't even use it for folks that saw actual combat.

This move is pretty much marketing I assume.

How's those professional armed forces going? Last I heard (a few years ago admittedly) the bundeswehr was terrible.
