Hi /g/ I'm about to purchase a GPU. I'm torn between a 780ti and a 970.
Which should I get and why? The 970 is roughly £30 more expensive.

480
I have the option of buying a scondhand 280x for 155$,and use it in SLI.
Or i could buy a 1070/1080 when the price drops.
Is the extra money for the new cards worth it,or should i just go SLI?
i have a 1440P monitor.
Never go for sli if you can help it.
The new cards are absolute beasts and if you can find them for a good price definitely go for it.

>The new cards are absolute beasts
The same performance as a 980 Ti and a staggering 20% more than a 980 Ti. For 20% more money. That's what you get from a new generation and a node shrink.
ABSOLUTE BEAST
>>55439264
The 1070 is not MUCH better than a 980ti, but it still is.
Not to mention that the 1070 will begin receiving performance upgrades in the form of drivers, whereas the 980ti has reached peak performance and will either stay there or get worse with new drivers.
If OP is interested in vr the 1070 will again absolutely destroy the 980ti.

My 6x 1TB NAS drives in pic related (mix of WD blues and greens) are approaching 5 years old, no signs of trouble but I'm getting antsy about having drives that old, especially with no fault tolerance (running JBOD, muh anus). I have not needed to look at spinning rust for a long time so I'm behind the curve a little. I'd like to replace each with at least 2TB so I can set up some decent sized RAIDs and worry less about data integrity and drives nosediving.
I know HGST make some solid 2.5" drives and I also read good things about...

What do anons use them for? I'm curious.
What's your music player, /g/? Is there anything superior to foobar yet?
No.
How someone hasn't made their own foobar clone for Linux yet is pretty astounding though.
>>55438623
Foobar works pretty well using wine, so there's no point in cloning it I guess.

>shift some of the power load off of the PCIe Graphics (PEG) slot connector, presumably in order to bring power consumption within PCIe spec. Note that AMD doesn't say anything about reducing the total power consumption, and given option #2, it's reasonable to assume that this involves holding the power requirements as-is and shifting the load to the external 6-pin power connector. Based on earlier data this would potentially put the 6-in connector further over spec, but the vast majority of PSUs are very tolerant of this going out of spec.

Why is there no standard or standard-like thing for config files?
The hipster use JSON which is not even meant to be human-readable, but most other programs use their own command processor/weird language like viml, some use lua...
Why not inifiles?
They've been working fine since forever right?

It's not shitposting memes, color me surprised
We might have gotten our way in the fight for net neutrality and SOPA, but that doesn't mean they won't do it again. These people will just get more and more power and one day, they will win. We could turn into China and the internet turns into real life 2.0. Freedom is easy to lose and hard to get back. We can protest all they want but they won't give a fuck, there's enough injustice already so we can easily get more of it. Things have to get much worse before they can get better.
Explain to me why 144p exists on YouTube. Who the fuck would watch a video in that resolution in the year twenty-sixteen?
Not everyone has a 10k display, autismofag.
Maybe it's old content and magic doesn't work how you think it does?
>>55436824
Why encode higher resolution videos in 144p then? The only feasible use to use it is for just listening to the audio but then you may as well just have an audio stream only, which can use less bandwidth.

For the last 2 weeks I've done basically nothing and I feel like absolute shit. I waste my time on youtube and 4chan.
I had some projects but each one got completely shut down by one issue or another that I'm powerless to resolve. I want to do something but I don't have the motivation to or any idea of what to do.
What should I make? Does anyone want me to write them some software for free?
I know C#, Java, and some C++ and Perl.
