  1. No problem. You may still want to read a bunch of reviews as some say the 750ti isn't that much better than a 650ti. I'm not great on lower end cards as I've only ever looked at high end gpu's. It'll depend on what version you get. I've seen 760s at around the price of 750ti, either way it should be a good upgrade over a 6670. 

  2. Not sure what that's equals in £ but here you can get them for £100 new which isn't much for a gpu (the most important part for a PC) and probably a lot less used. It's up to  you what you buy but because of the new consoles, games are going to use a lot more power. It hard for me to recommend a card for your budget as because of the price differences in countries. What's the max you want to spend though?

  3. Well if you really don't want to spend too much then get a 650ti but the 700 series is a lot more efficient. The 750ti uses less power than  a 6670 buts a lot more powerful. For a big upgrade a 760 would be a massive upgrade and not too expensive if you shop around.

  4. For gaming? No it's not. Really more of a multi media gpu. Nvidia are releasing new gpu's soon so you might want to wait to see what the prices are for the midrange cards (if that's what you want) or for people to sell their 700 series cards. A 760 is pretty cheap and give pretty good performance for the price. When it comes to buying a gpu looking for the cheapest isn't really the best thing to do, as it's the most important part you'll only end up needing to upgrade sooner.

    I'm loving Horizon 2. It feels much closer to Forza 5 than I thought it would. One thing that I don't like, you can look behind.... Feels really good using my Thrustmaster TX though, the ffb is very good. Also "surprisingly" it feels really smooth even though it's only 30fps, must be magic haha.

    downloaded the demo and you're right it definetly feels like Forza 5. Racing through the bushes and trying to spot the checkpoints is quite hard but otherwise it's good fun.
    Yea that's been brought up a lot on the Forza forums. They need to make the smoke rise up further when in fields, as like you said they're hard to see.
    Did you or @RevolvingPrawn notice if the Horizon 2 demo used the impulse triggers? Doesn't bother me now as I'll be using my wheel, but I would be shocked if it didn't considering it's a first party game.

  6. I'm really annoyed, for some reason my X1 isn't counting how long I've been playing Destiny :s says 0 minutes vs 10 hours for you.... Might try a full reboot of my X1 to see if that fixes it, but I doubt it'll count the hours I've already played. Seems to be a common problem looking at the Xbox forums.
    After doing that it says 1 hour, think I've played longer than that.....lol Silly Xbox, never had a problem like this on Steam.

  7. @sjsharp2010 I do, but tonight was my last league race until Next Gen F1 so I was hoping for none of the usual CM glitch rubbish, and amazingly it was perfect! So intense but it was a really really good race :) 

    @Hughesy Fuuuuuuuu.... Ok, we'll have to recruit N3R0, Ninja and some of the other VRL guys. I'm pretty sure we can get to 6 players with them too :)
    I hope so although looking at the raids they take a long time to complete. Silly that they don't have matchmaking for them as it can be hard to have enough people free at one time to do them.
    I'm just  about to play Destiny as I haven't played all day.

  8. Don't worry Hughesy, I'll try to get to lvl 26 by the weekend, then we only need one other :) 

    Kinda glad I raced F1 2013 tonight, had my second best VRL race so far :D
    Think you need 6 people for raids bud, I may be wrong.

    Edit: Just looked, you do need 6. Hope you have some friends bud lol

  9. I'm loving Horizon 2. It feels much closer to Forza 5 than I thought it would. One thing that I don't like, you can look behind....

  10. Going to start playing Destiny again in a bit as I haven't played much today. I started doing my sub class but it feels so underpowered I gave up for now at least. I'll get my self warmed up and then go to the Crusible to complete some of my multiplayer bounties :) seems there's a small 66mb update to do first, not sure why it didn't update while I wasn't playing like the X1 meant to do, atleast it's a tiny one.

    How does that work?! A Citroen C2 and a Honda Civic (not the new one, or the old one, but the old old one) have the same insurance price!
    It depends on many thing, engine size, safety rating and sometimes the type of people who drive them and so on. When I had a Saxo the insurance was pretty high because of the "boy racer" tag.

    Not yet as I only turned level 20 last night and haven't played today yet. I have far too much time on my hands now, the joys of only working part time now :(  I get bored having nothing to do all day, I'll get used to it eventually lol.
    You should try playing thinking style games like a Football Manager or a Snooker game. I find games like that are very good at killing time if you're bored and don't fancy playing shooter/action type games especially the FM's anyway. I don't buy them every year but I do find them fun if you prefer a more quieter thinking based game.
    I do play  Football Manager, spent 100s of hours with each one lol wrong thread I know...hehe
