I'm having a bit of trouble confirming this. I know it disables the internal GPU, but is it necessarily better? Anyone know more about it?

Personally I would check your benchmarks I think that nvidia is probably bring you down and may open you up to issues. Your set up good and with the processor you have a little under a hundred bucks and you could set it up to crossfire with something compatable that wont shut down your processor. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 24183289 United States 06/20/2013 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some things to take into account when matching a MOBO and video card. Its best to make sure your BUS speeds are the same for the MOBO and Video. The system will be a lot more stable. Many first time builders make the mistake of miss matching these two crucial components. Good Job on your first build. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 24554510 United States 06/20/2013 09:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of course this is an issue about money as well. But I stopped upgrading my PCs. Its better to buy an all new one, mainly because if you upgrade your CPU or something you have useless components lying around. If you buy a new machine you can use the old one as a media center, dedicated emulation machine or something. Quoting: Face Palmer Plus no one gives a fuck about a tricked out computer so the resale value is horrible. Buy a high-end CPU and be patient, save yourself a few grand. |

That nvidia 4 series card is no slouch, but was never really meant to be a high end gamer card...it was more aimed at the htpc crowd. |

The system may categorize you as being disabled, but from the posts I have read - you are anything but disabled. You just think differently and process information in a way in which goes against the main stream of learning... not to mention you are living in a rough situation at home which must really make it hard for you emotionally.
