    Still went all AMD when I built my PC a couple of months ago. Plug and play is what it was, plug and play. Nvidia won’t get any money from me until all their shit is open source.

        Find something used. If you have Facebook, see the market place. I don’t have Facebook, my wife does, and I always find great deals on it. Bought me a Dell 27" 4 monitor for $80. That thing is used $275 used on Amazon. If no Facebook, then try eBay. Used is not that bad most of the time.

          ebay seems to just be a place for scammers and people selling used items for new prices.

            I’ve actually noticed that, too, but you can still run into good things, although very rarely.

      I wish I could do this, but where I live I just can’t find a laptop with a good amd gpu (I live in Brazil), so I’m locked to nvidia :/
