I would presume that render frame-rate and compute power are strongly
correlated. Then again, I guess I don't know that much about the render
pipeline, so...

My GTX 260 was able to handle Crysis, Crysis 2, FarCry 3 and just about
every other game I tried on very high detail settings. (Although I think
FarCry 3 became noticeably laggy when I turned everything up to maximum
- it was only slight though.)
If a GTX 260 can handle it, presumably a newer generation card with
multiple times the compute power will eat it up.
Ultimately, I'm probably going to wait for my next bank statement before
I decide. It's only a few days away, after all...

As well as that, I'm going to try to get CUDA to work again. I've got a
few bits of software which *claim* to use your GPU to do compute-heavy
work much faster. If only any of them actually *worked*...

What, you think I should be using Internet banking? I prefer it if bad
people *can't* steal all my money merely by guessing a password...

Oh it's 2005 calling now...

What bank uses fixed passwords (rather than a sheet of single-use codes)
and thinks that it's safe?

What bank uses a sheet of single-use codes and thinks that it's safe?
Over here in Germany we're past that age. Codes dynamically generated
from transaction details it is for us.

Well, much safer than a fixed password.
You can't do anything with the sheet alone if you don't have the user's ID.
Granted, it's not impossible to acquire both, but if you don't store your
ID anywhere and instead have it memorized, it becomes difficult. (Basically
they would need to install some spyware in the computer you are using in
order to get the ID, and then physically steal the passcode sheet. Not
impossible, but not likely to happen.)

How does that even work?

Just two words:
(1) Phising.
(2) Man-in-the-middle attack.

There are two variants in use:
(A) Each time you submit a transaction via browser, you get a
transaction-specific authorization code via SMS to your mobile phone,
including some essentials of the transaction (like the amount of money
transferred, and the target bank account) to make sure that you and the
bank are talking about the same deal.
(B) You get a code generator from your bank. Typically this would be a
combination of a bank card with a built-in chip, plus a card reader with
a built-in display to make sure that the code is generated from the
transaction details you desire.
(As certified card readers are expensive, have never really taken off,
and would probably be difficult to integrate into web-based online
banking, the common solution is an inexpensive battery-powered
stand-alone device using optical transmission from web interface to card
reader.)
