I would like it to go to a good home if someone has a good use or a need for it. It is not going to be able to drive the latest games at any significant speed. But I also didn’t want to scrap it with the other electronics I brought in to recycle.
That’s tempting D: I have a 4GB 970 so that extra memory would be nice, but I think my 970 is still working well enough with even modern games (I don’t play AAA stuff) and is close enough in stats to the 1060 that someone else would probably make better use of it.
FYI. If no one here ends up wanting it, I just looked at ebay where they are selling used for about $50 to $100, so if you don’t want it to go to waste you could go that route.
ps - It is also selling there for around $40 listed as “for parts” (ie, not working).
I am just trying to get rid of this to get some good use. I don’t want to profit from it at all. If anyone wants it for free and is willing to pay for shipping, let me know. If anyone needs it and cannot afford shipping, we can maybe work something out too. Just let me know.
If nobody here wants it, see if Gamersnexus would be interested in it and/or be able to point you towards a donation center. IIRC they are based out of your state.
GamersNexus is in North Carolina. They’re probably the most reputable PC testing and reporting journalists out there. Steve’s willingness to sit outnumbered in a conference room and grill executives at misbehaving tech giants is nothing short of admirable. You should check out some of their content.
Would you happen to have a laptop or tablet that would be little more than a typewriter? It would be nice to write while on the bus, etc. House is noisy as soon as humans return home. Or any suggestions?
I understand, I had the same problem.
I would recommend something like a basic Chromebook or tablet with a keyboard. It’s convenient to write while traveling on the bus and not be distracted by other things and people around you. I take it always on trips, very convenient.
At home you can use headphones as an option. It helps me stay focused
I don’t have an internet-capable TV, so I bought a Chromebook specifically to use as a “VCR”; it can play movies off a drive, YouTube videos, etc. But the Chromebook is basically an Android phone with a big screen and a keyboard. I’ve never attempted to run Windows software on it, but unless you plan to fiddle I would say you’re generally restricted to the Android App Store, so use that as a reference to determine if it can do what you want.
Good to see you
