    390x or 980 gtx?

    That's what I did. R9 Nano for $430 shipped. Matches or beats the 980 in most games, although there is less overclocking room. DX12 performance on that little bugger is impressive too. 4GB hasn't limited frame rates so far, but I know some games gobble that up in a hurry.

    $100 Chevron gas card for $90 on ebay

    I get to use my Safeway gas points at Chevron (no Safeway gas station around here) so this makes it a little bit of a better deal. I do get 3% back on my cash rewards credit card though.

    Asus R9 Nano @ Jet.com $438

    First hiccup in the order process: Fedex didn't ring my doorbell and I missed the delivery. Fedex is also saying that the package has a "delivery restriction" and they cannot hold it at the Fedex facility. They gave me Newegg customer service's contact information (since the order was fulfilled...

    Going from a 780 to either a 970 or 390x need advice.

    Yeah I didn't think there was a good way to do it myself. I might ask on the Club3D forums too but that place is a disaster right now. Heh...see you over at AVS :p That's actually where I first learned about the Club3D adapter (on the 2015 Vizio M series owners thread). I haven't found a lot of...

    Going from a 780 to either a 970 or 390x need advice.

    Anecdotally I can say that I don't notice the lag at all when gaming. My 2015 Vizio M series TV has an input lag of 18.5 ms with interpolation disabled and 43.9 ms with interpolation enabled. The extra 25 ms is very noticeable to me, so I would have to say the Club3D adapter falls somewhere in...

    Android Pay existed via "Google Wallet" long before Samsung Pay and Apple Pay existed. Google Wallet supported NFC payments years ago and works on any phone that has NFC.

    Going from a 780 to either a 970 or 390x need advice.

    Stole the words right out of my mouth. I use the Club3D adapter to get 4k60 out of my 270x and plan to use it on my nano. Sure it's definitely annoying that HDMI 2.0 isn't supported out of the box, but the adapter works flawlessly (audio too!) so I really can't complain that much. As a side...

    Going from a 780 to either a 970 or 390x need advice.

    Fair enough. I guess my logic is that it's a better deal than both the 980 and 390x, and if the goal is max performance, then it's the best deal for that tier of card (again, if max performance is what OP is looking for near his budget). I personally don't think the 390 is enough of a...

    Going from a 780 to either a 970 or 390x need advice.

    I'm not sure how you classify the nano at $438 as a "terrible deal" when it often matches or exceeds the performance of a 980 and is cheaper with that deal. It's not the best deal by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the most performance you'll get out of a sub $500 card right now unless...

    Asus R9 Nano @ Jet.com $438

    I was definitely on the fence but I'm excited about this card. I have a strict ITX-size requirement and I was about ready to pull the trigger on the Asus DirectCU GTX 970. Definitely not the best card, but I couldn't justify the $525 of the Nano. I think the performance bump is justified easily...

    So I have a Raid 6 array, but is slow. Raid 10 any better?

    I'm not sure I agree with your logic, but I could be wrong. Striping != mirroring. Reading from a mirrored set is always faster almost linearly as you add more drives. Raid6 read speed doesn't increase linearly because it is striped. Instead of two parallel paths you have a serial queue. Now...

    So I have a Raid 6 array, but is slow. Raid 10 any better?

    Good catch on the Archive drives, I'm not as familiar with those. I wasn't as trying to compare my setup to his, just saying the original question "Is raid 10 faster than raid 6" has many caveats and there are times when Raid6 can indeed be quite fast. Parity accounts for 25% overhead on the...

    So I have a Raid 6 array, but is slow. Raid 10 any better?

    Generally speaking, yes, you'll have better performance with 10 or 01 than 6 because no parity is involved during writes. That doesn't mean that RAID 6 performance can't be good. What hardware are you running on? I have a 16x 2 TB RAID6 with WD Green drives and it's stupid fast. Running linux...

    upgrading from a gtx 760 2gb

    I'm more or less in the same boat as you except I'm upgrading from a r9 270x. The 270x and the 760 are pretty darn close as far as performance goes. I definitely would not "upgrade" to a 380x or a 960. I'm only considering the GTX 970 if I can find one in the $275 range. Even then I'm a little...

    Advice......HTPC

    I'm pretty much in the same boat as you and decided to hold off upgrading. The only thing I can see that you'd be missing out on is 4k60 if you upgrade your TV. For that you need an hdmi2.0 - enabled card or a DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter. If you do end up needing 4k, I'd strongly consider the Nvidia...

    Interesting cheap JBODs available

    Since they bays seem random I'm not sure if this will help, but it could eliminate some things. - Try fewer drives and see if you still have problems. Maybe a thermal or power supply problem? - Try swapping the SAS expander cables inside. This could help you determine if you have bad or...
