I never would forget my first SSD.

Lol well like F$, i was against the TLC NAND they use in these SSDs as well. Just seemed like a really bad idea. But then a read up alot on it, waited til a bunch of people had owned them for awhile, and finally realized they're not that bad at all. Sure the longevity is lower (13.7 years on the EVO vs. 70.2 years on the Pro series which uses MLC), but i didn't care about this for 2 reasons: 1) SATA 3 is being replaced with something faster anyway, therefore new SSDs will be even faster and make all current SSDs obsolete, regardless of what kind of NAND they use. 2) 13.7 years is still far longer than the expected life of any hard drive and i've done just fine with those for the past 33 years since i got my first computer.

And really i wasn't much of a fan of MLC NAND when it came out either, since it had a much lower longevity than SLC. But i was won over on that too

I couldn't help it... I've been too curious about how this little card performs, so I snagged one:

Discount Maxwell 750 Ti if anyone is looking for one and hasn't seen this.

Nice catch!! I was thinking about getting another one of these... in fact I put one in my Newegg cart today, thinking I could pick it up and put it to immediate use in the Collatz challenge. Well, now I guess i HAVE to!

I'm at Newegg right now picking up this 750 Ti - anyone have any orders you want me to pick up?

Already received my ship notification. Shoprunner-boosted West Coast to West Coast shipping is usually pretty speedy. The thing I probably WILL want accelerated is the #$(*ing rebate process.

How is the 750ti vs a gtx 570? I need another card and was fixing to a used 570 for 110.00 which card should I get?

In terms of credits/watt you can't beat the 750 Ti. Anyone have typical credits/day for the GTX 570? Expect 300k/day in Collatz/DiRT, 200k/day GPUGrid, or about 150k/day Primegrid from the 750 Ti at very low power use.
