Do you think the 750 ti would be sufficient?

i think that's a last generation card. i'd stick to the new stuff so you have some longevity and don't get obsolete so soon

Make sure you take 5mins... I believe in the instructions they said it'll be rejected if it's any less

I've read about people being rejected because they take a survey too fast. That is so annoying. Some people are just faster readers than others.

He may have some of those too. I'll ask him. Our house is like Sanford & Son but with computer parts.

960's might not be a bad idea?

Good time to remind everyone that qualtrics has its own timer to beware of in cases like these.

If they actually play modern games regularly, I'd shell out the extra for the 960. Just watch for a sale and buy them at $150 or whatever.

i remember back when i was hardcore into building rigs the 560's were a solid value card so i would think the tradition sticks since the 9 series is the new generation....of course the 560s used to cost like in the 200s lol now you can pick up a 960 for around $150

What do you mean? That the survey itself is being timed, so letting the Hit sit in your queue for a few minutes wouldn't help?

Thanks @Drwho10 @Kerek @YAHU and anyone else I forgot to mention!

has them sorted by price and performance with a little blurb about each one. I'm sure they can survive with an R9 380X or (if they're committed to Nvidia) a GTX 960.

Just saw your link. Thank you!

Yeah, so ostensibly they'd be looking at whatever Qualtrics gives them for your time from start to submit.

Agreed on 960, it's a card that can handle just about anything -right now-. 970 for more intense gaming despite people losing their marbles on the RAM stuff, and I'd just avoid the 980s. Good cards, but almost twice the cost of the 970s.

i feel like running two 970s in sli would be better than a 980 considering the price...i could be wrong though

So long as what you run supports SLI, pretty much yea. You can also overclock most 970s to get very close to a 980 in performance. Will be ordering an MSI 970 in the upcoming weeks in prep for the HTC Vive in the summer, so yey there.
