  Gamdias ARES-GKC6011 7-Colour Membrane Keyboard + OUREA FPS Optical Mouse - $29 (was $55)

  Hmm was that the $49 one?

  Nope, that was mechanical

    Yeah, the email was pretty specific about it being a membrane keyboard. No idea what the quality is like, though.

  how good is a rx-470 compared to say, a gtx 1060? my gtx 970 died a month or so ago and i can't get it rma'ed cause i bought it overseas. currently using my old gtx 560ti right now.

    If I'm right, rx480 is the equivalent to 1060, which means 1060 should be reasonably better than 470.

    Its slower than your GTX 970 by a small amount, and slower than the GTX 1060 still.

    http://media.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2016/gpu/rx-470/rx…

    The RX 480 is on-par with the GTX 970 and is also neck in neck with GTX 1060.
    basically:

    ➡ from slowest to fastest ➡
    RX 470 > GTX 970 > RX 480 8GB ⇼ GTX1060

      Seems like I would be best off just buying a 1060 from the eBay Cyber deal then, no?

        Unless you have a g-sync monitor, I'd probably recommend the rx 480. Performs on par with gtx 1060 on Dx11 and outperforms on Dx12. Freesync monitors are also cheaper than g-sync, should you decide you want the technology in the future.

        @iMagoo:

        in terms of what else, rx 480 outweighs 1060, sir? has dx12 been released yet? or is freesync better than g-sync?

        @baldur: As I said, it's roughly even for Dx11 titles (0-2% difference) and slightly better for Dx12 titles (4-6% better, and yes they exist) http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/reviews/video_cards/gtx-1060-…. Freesync is not better than g-sync, it's just a cheaper technology to adopt (compare almost any freesync monitor to a counterpart g-sync monitor for reference).

  Can someone tell me what they think of the Gamdias ARES-GKC6011 keyboard?

  • 

    SouthPOR on 13/03/2017 - 22:41

    I have a mechanical gamdias keyboard, they work well for the price.
    Although I only bought mine because it was cheap as chips.
    I wouldn't buy a full price one, there is far better value for money out there.
