You say trashy, they say gamer chic.

What is this snow you speak of.
The thing I see here all the time is people waiting to turn left sitting out in the middle of the intersection waiting for traffic to clear. Drives me insane.

I'd been replacing my GPU every ~2 years (sometimes more often) for over a decade, but my 3-year-old GTX 970 is only "old" in calendar years - it's only a single generation behind, and anything I can get today for the same $330 I spent on the 970 is actually slower than the 970.

I bought a second GTX-1070 in mid-October. I paid $390
The cheapest 1070 now cost $780. The same card, being sold by another seller is $1,040.

I was hesitant to replace my 970 with a 1070 event when they were "only" around $400. It didn't seem like much of an upgrade at that price, let alone double or triple.

The first 1070 replaced a 960 and it was a very significant upgrade.
