I am still on the x58 platfrom i7 920 d going strong. Currently i have 6GB ram. 3x2GB sticks. This has always been plenty but the new games are coming out with higher recommended requirements namely Battlefield 4 & watchdogs, and i expect many more going forward. So that leaves me with 2...

Hi. Got mt Viewsonic vx2025wm today, its really nice, but the refresh rate seems to be stuck at 60hz. I can force it to 75hz, but then the resolution decreases. Is this monitor not designed to run at 1680x1050 at 75hz? Thanks

If the desktop and everything is going to run the card in 3d mode, won't it reduce the lifespan of the video card, as it will always be running as though there is a game running, producing more heat and running at a higher voltage?

OK so the game runs at a smooth enough framerate, 40's I have everything set to high and 8xHQAF But the game stutters intermitantly when im walking around. Does anyone else have this prob? Im using 6.4cats and full version of GRAW not demo. I have also tried turning down various...
