I miss my 580's and this 970 is a little underwhelming. If AMD ever gets their shit together I'd consider it.

Enjoy your deprecated hardware.
>>54965986
6400 i mean
>>54965844
Still using a GTX580.
I was surprised this thing still works fine.
mfw still have an i5-750 from 6 years ago
>mfw bought a cheap quad-core AMD LLANO laptop in 2011
Is the i5 2500M the 2500k's little brother?

by little brother you mean starved and dehydrated since birth, sure

You upgrading to Skylake-E and Vega after that?

mfw I have the same face
had a 3770k and gtx 580, though i replaced the 580 for a 980 ti in december. The processor however is the gift that keeps on giving.

Feels mighty comfy even now.

Lovin it

>>54965844
Mah nigga. Recently upgraded from i7-2600k because of catastrophic system failure and the benchmarks are hardly the improvement you'd expect for a 5 year old CPU. It's really amazing how good those old parts are.

Might still wait another generation to upgrade. This build will go on forever.
>>54974190
Mah nigga, I also used that set up to last summer, then I updated to a new GPU because 5850 really didn't cut it for 1440p. But that processor is still great, it's funny how 2014 GPU is still the bottleneck and not that 2009 processor.
>my tfw when i5-4670K @ 4GHz ain't even sweating
>GTX 770 runs everything i need @ 1440p
>comfy af
waiting for 2017 for AMD to release their shit so i can hand this gentle beast down to my little bro who runs a Phenom II + 2xHD5850. i hope Summit Ridge doesn't disappoint.
Bought a 3570K in 2012. Sittin' comfy
>tfw I bought a q6600 in 2007 and a 460GTX in 2010
Still rocking.

>mfw I bought an FX 6100 when it came out and a GTX 580
I wish I had gotten Phenom II X4 955 + HD 6950.
Would still be a top tier PC today.
>that guy who's still running a 5+ year old card who complains that graphics haven't improved or that current games aren't "optimized"

Intel needs to invest in some software developers if they want to remain relevant.

You should have stayed with your old GPU.
>>54965844
>mfw i5 [email protected] and HD7850 2GB
What's the point where it becomes worth it to upgrade?
>>54975237
When you get a 1440p or 4K screen.
>>54975240
Oh yeah, I should get me one of those. Some extra space when programming would be nice.
>tfw E5-2667 V3 ES and R9 290
I hope this build will last quite a while
>>54975240

REEEEEEEE
>>54975335
You cannot buy 1600p any more. Not new models.
>>54975348
>tfw Yamakasi Sparta 301
Why the fuck is 16:10 so rare these days?
>>54975361
During the time when 16:10 was common enough to be a viable item to buy, 16:9 screens were cheaper. Over time, more 16:9 screen got produced to meet the higher demand, and mass production meant that 16:9 got even cheaper than before. This continued until 16:10 got phased out, even though it is the superior resolution.
>>54965844
Still running core 2 quad 2.3ghz with ati5770. 4gig Ddr2 ram and wd raptor drive for os.
>>54975408
So I guess all hopes and dreams of buying a 3840x2400 monitor are gone other than a fuckhuge, heavy as shit, overheating and tiny screened IBM T221 which runs at a low framerate?
>>54975361
because it's a meme resolution
>>54975471
>16:10
>meme
fuck off back to R eddit you filthy tripfag
>>54975470
4K (yes, UHD 4K, not DCI) is such a huge resolution, that 16:9 vs 16:10 is not that much of an issue any more.
>>54975498
>le higher resolution means you don't need a larger aspect ratio xXDDDDDDDDD
