Your future PC Upgrades - Optane Technology and GTX 950

MWEB GameZone writes: "Intel has recently unveiled ‘Intel Optane Technology’, while the specs (at least some of them) for the Nvidia GTX 950 have leaked.

The question – or questions – from the PC gamers out there will be “what the hell is Optane Technology” and “will the Nvidia graphics card be worth considering”?"

Waste of a card, if you have an entry build or trying to improve a current old desktop, buy the 750 Ti.

If you want performance save up $20 - $30 more and buy the 960 and crush the 950 performance. Who would buy a 660 over a 680 (pretty much 950 / 960) when the difference in cost is less than $50.

IMO, if you're in high end gaming, only the 970 or above are worth it. 960 is just too weak and so is the 950.

I agree, but this card is for low / mid range gamers.

And there's just no real value in the 959. The 750 ti has much more function for the vast majority of PC gamers due to it's 60w working in 300w and lower PSU systems.

The 960 is just hands down better, 110w, and just $40 more at most.

A retailer may have just leaked the Intel 14th gen pre order and launch date

A retailer in the US by the name of CentralComputers may have just accidentally leaked the pre-order date, time, and release date for Intel's upcoming 14th-generation CPUs.

please get the power usage from this gen down because its just not practical.

I'm really debating if I should upgrade when this comes out. I have an i5-9600k now, but it is really not keeping up with the games I want to play since everything seems to be CPU limited now. But it sounds like this is the last gen of this layout and 15th gen will shake things up. Do I jump in and upgrade when this is out or wait another generation?
