Hardware Bargains

I gave up on HP printers a while back. Currently using an Oki colour laser, no issues.

Ah the L220 looks good. pity the price tag is way out of what i am willing to pay. (Not to mention the wife would never approve. )

I would definitely go for an Epson ink tank printer or similar. Well worth the extra in the long run. I own an epson btw.

Likewise - ours has been running for ~18 months, and I'm still on the original tanks. If I had had to buy ink like I used to, I'd be way past the added cost of the printer by now.

I got one for a friend; he's very happy with it. Says 'it goes like a Boeing'.

Good to hear. What's he using it for ?

I believe it's mostly Kodi with a ton of streaming channels.

Tempted. Might be better to buy a GTX 1070 though.

Obviously...It would even be better to buy a GTX 1080

But if you are on a tight budget, this is very good value for money card, considering you can sell the SSD for at least R600.

How does the GTX 970 preform when compared to a R9 280x?

The GTX 970 is much much better. Do you have a R9 280X ?

Much better card ,just remember gtx 970 only really have 3.5gb vram and not 4gb

I have two R9 280x's in crossfire...

Half the games probably don't use both cards at maximum performance ,rather get one 970.

You can sell R9280x for R2500 each depending on brand . You can also sell ssd for R600.

So you will actually make R1600 ,by upgrading to gtx 970 extreme

You are right. The one R9 280x runs full blast, and the other one just hovers along at 60-70% utilisation. Issue is, I need more FPS
