    For my main desktop, I use the SSD for boot drive and for gaming. All my other storage is rotational. Best of both worlds. Our HTPC has a similar setup. SSD for Booting and XBMC. All the movies and music A/V files are on the HDD.

    Is this still the best GPU performance per watt card? Thanks to anyone who knows!

    The new GTX 970 and GTX 980 have higher performance per watt, but if you factor in FLOPS/Watt/$$ this particular 750 Ti is a better (initial) deal by 2.5x to 3.5x.

    I already have 2 750 Tis and I'm trying to add a 7970 to my fleet, but this may be too good to pass up!

    If you have enough place you may be right, but I have already 14 GPUs ( 11 running, 3 are in repair ) and my only place left would
    be outside the cases with a PCIe-Expander (already ordered 2 of them) leaving the boxes open all the time.
    I would look for a 290 instead of the 7970, they are so cheap now since the Nvidia 900 series came out.
    Even a 290x costs 299,- Euro today. ( GTX970 355,- in Europe )

    290 and 290X are both worse at double precision than a 7970 or 280X by about 30%

    I know and thats why I dont wanted a 290x. But this is my Gaming PC and I want two 290x for crossfire.
    Im going to buy a 4k Monitor this year and I think I will need them for playing all games with full resolution.
    ... besides 420$ is a nice price.
