Thread: About GPU
Post: RE: About GPU
| AMD is no longer better than Nvidia. I'd highly recommend you pick up a GTX 980 if you can afford it. R9 290X if you can't. Used 7970 if you can't afford that, either. |

Thread: performance diffrence PCIe
Post: RE: performance diffrence PCIe

Going from x16 -> x1 you will experience longer loading times, but the cracking speed itself is essentially the same (there are some caveats t... |
