Yeah the GTX 970 is a monster with crooked 3,5 GB VRAM. :)

I rate this a 3.5/4 for effort. :^)

good luck in getting a replacement , laptop are very expensive to fix even when it's possible to get them fixed.

Yeah, I know. I wouldn't be able to replace it anyways.


MSI decided to solder the GPU to the motherboard.

I don't think I've seen a laptop where the GPU isn't soldered to the motherboard.
(Actually, while typing that I remembered 2, but theyre super enthusiast tier ♥♥♥♥ that will cost stupid money.)

And are you sure it's dying, and not just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ driver?

anyone saying it's not a beast doesnt understand hour to money ratio , i personally dont have that card but i;ve been gaming with a r7 260x for years and the only thing ive wanted to play and cant is Forza Horizon 3 , everything else handles well and this card was 200 USD when i had it years ago. since I was 15 or 14? I've surely gotten that money out of it and it still runs great!

I'm extremely poor, so I know about getting your moneys worth, and sure, the 970 did that, like most other GPUs if you keep them long enough, with a few that were worth keeping longer.
Just because you refuse to upgrade doesn't make your current one better for living that long, I could pull out my old GTX 750 and still play games in (shredders version) of 30 fps, does that mean it's a monster, ♥♥♥♥ no, it just means I can make a game run.

The actual PCs that deserve to be called monsters are well out of most peoples price ranges.

I mean, you can keep doing what you're doing, using out dated tech and convincing youself that its still good, if you want. I won't think any less of you, I just won't pay attention to your silly claims of what is or isnt good, or what can do what.

There are still games coming who run at 60 fps max settings 1440p like Devil Hunt that releasd yesterday and Spyro reigned trilgoy 3 weeks ago but most current games run at 30-40 fps like wolfestein young blood that runs 30-46 fps max settings 1440p.

For wolfenstein 30 fps is terrible ... maxing graphics make no sense if it's to penalize the performance that much.

Man, he doesn't see an difference between 30 fps (15 to 25 fps ) and 60 fps!!!
This guy actually said that, I kid you not.

I wish I still had my first gpu installed, in 5 years ive gone through 5 or 6 gpus, not counting SLI.
