That green AMG GT looks like a German version of a Dodge Viper. I also like how this thread is a TL;DR version of Jalopnik

I don't think I've ever seen a car with eyebrows under the headlights.

Nice! In January I replaced my SE Arc S with a Z3 Compact. Hoping it will last as long as the old Arc!

Yup! :D

Washed and clayed the car this morning. It was the first time I used a claybar, and the car feels super smooth! Will be hitting it with some polish and sealant later today. Also some old time members may notice: I finally got a part I've wanted for a very long time at the front of the car! http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad96/killalldude/DSC_0301_1.jpg http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad96/killalldude/DSC_0300.jpg

I've always loved the CLS too. If I were to relocate to EU, I would definitely buy a CLS Shooting Brake. Yours looks super clean. Any idea if the AMG package comes with upgraded front seats? Those look super comfy and decently bolstered for a car of this type.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. I'd be ecstatic if my current system with a 1070 will meet my demands. Can't wait till June 10th! Anybody interested in an ATI 4850? :lol:

Interesting article on the new nVidia 1080/1070: NVIDIA Announces the GeForce GTX 1000 Series: GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 Arrive In May June

If you can find a Micro Center store in NY certainly check them out. They have some great deals on open box/refurb items as well.

This is the game I see myself playing most for the foreseeable future. It does love to munch on RAM. Hopefully more information will be released in the next few weeks by both manufacturers. I won't be home from uni and reunited with my computer until then anyways :shrug:

These are my thoughts too. If I do get a high end graphics card, I wonder if I will notice bottlenecking at high graphics settings with this CPU. However right now I'm leaning towards just upgrading the graphics card and when the time comes, build a new PC. I'm not aware of any other super demanding games coming out soon which I'm interested in... yet. As mentioned before, AMD is going to release it's new 4XX series in June. Any peeps know what nVidia got up their sleeves?

I'd love to go for a GTX 980 but price... I'd have to scour some used sites to find a good deal. Also the AMD 390 is really tempting for it's 8GB of VRAM. But from what I've read in reviews is that extra VRAM is only good if you're playing in 4K. I'm at 1080p but that could change in the next year with the falling prices of 4K displays. Yup, that's exactly the mentality I had when I built this computer. It has a 730W PSU. So I should be able to add virtually any card without blowing it up. The stock clock is 2.66 GHz, I overclocked it to 3.5. With the aftermarket cooler, I was able to clock it up to 4.0 GHz and temperatures were fine. However it would crash after a few minutes of playing GTA:V. I could probably push it to 3.7, and wouldn't mind if it broke since I've got 6 years out of this CPU. Good advice, I will do some research into these new cards! A few months ago I was reading an article about HBM memory for video cards and was wondering when the next generation of cards would be released.

Well, it's been awhile since I've logged on. Within the first 20 minutes of going through old threads I used up all my likes :bgroove: I've got a question for you all regarding upgrading my PC. I've come to the realization that I need to upgrade my graphics card. However, based on my specs below, would I be better off putting the money towards a new PC or new build? Built circa 2010: Intel i7 920 @ 3.5 GHz (LGA 1366, 1st gen i7) 16 GB DDR3 RAM (can upgrade to 24 GB) 256 GB SSD ATI 4850 1 GB (pre-AMD badging) This computer was able to handle GTA:V at low settings. I'd like to play GTA:V at high/ultra settings, with mods. If I could achieve this with just a graphics card I think my computer would suit my needs until GTA:VI comes out :cheeky:. I'm thinking of getting something along the lines of an R9 390 or GTX 970. So around USD $250-350. I'd be willing to go up to $400 but at that point I feel like it would be better to put that money towards a new PC. Would I be better off buying/building a new PC or should I upgrade my graphics card? What are your thoughts?

Just started playing GTA Online for PC, username is killalldude :)

You never know, in this day and age someone may take offense to that! :cheeky:

Thanks for posting this! Definitely buying GTA:V PC... which I have been salivating for ever since its console release!

:birthday: :cheers:

The Fiat looks good from the profile but the front and back are lackluster. Looks much more acceptable in white/camel though.

My parents never bought game systems when I was a child. So I just played video games on the home PC. What has kept me using the PC is modding. And some of my favorite games, GTA and The Sims, are much better on the PC.

Yup! Should've taken a picture of them. Also saw this Tesla taxi right beside the Eiffel Tower: http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad96/killalldude/IMG_20150530_182906.jpg When I was in Amsterdam I did spot this funny thing: http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad96/killalldude/IMG_20150606_163345.jpg

The airport in Amsterdam has a whole fleet of them!

Happy 21st!! :birthday: :cheers:

Wasn't that the BMW which caught fire? Also, that is the new E-Class... just looks like a bigger C.
