Currently considering moving to a 144+ he monitor. I’m coming from an ASUS 60hz IPS monitor. I’m wondering if TN’s have improved their color reproduction in the last 7-10 years and it wouldn’t be as noticeable if a switch, or if I should exclusively consider another IPS.
Thanks
Hi!
I've had some real trouble getting my Ryzen build up and running the past several days. First, I had the MSI X370 Carbon board. I built the computer with the below specs:
CPU: Ryzen 1700X
MOBO: MSI Pro Carbon
RAM: Corsair Vengance LED 16GB
PSU: NZXT 650 watt
GPU: Radeon R9 290
HDD...
Hi all,
Has anyone had this problem before? My Radeon R9 290 doesn't like to fully clock until after a restart of the computer. Booting up a game my GPU will generally clock at between 500-700 MHz. Only after restarting my computer and booting up the same or a different game will the GPU run at...
Greetings,
I am hopefully going to the retail store to purchase a r9 290 video card. The retail store I'm purchasing from (Fry's) doesn't have any information about the "Never Settle" game bundle being included. I was wondering if the coupon code is included in the video card box, or if it...
Hello my [H]ard friends.
I am looking to purchase an ultrabook for back to school. This will be my first laptop and I will be using it for school and for work. I also will be traveling a lot to see my long distance GF, so I definitely want something that has an SSD for better battery life +...
Greetings,
I am currently running a couple cheap Sony shelf system stereo speakers connected to a Pyle 30watt T-Amp. It was super easy to set up and works like a charm. However, I'm looking to get a little more punch out of my set up. The amp does not have a subwoofer port, and I don't want to...
Quakecon is coming up in just a few short days so of course my beloved Turtle Beach HPA2's that I've had for over 6 years now have decided to start crapping out. These had individual drivers in each cup to provide a "true" 5.1 surround sound. How "true" that actually was, I don't really care...
Greetings fellow gamers.
I am looking for a new mouse and I am hoping someone can help me out with a suggestion or two. I previously had a SteelSeries Ikari mouse which I absolutely loved. Sadly though I had the infamous double clicking issue with it and (held on to it for way too long) threw...
Hi guys,
I typically keep up with hardware, but not really on the mobile side. My mom who is a school teacher is looking at purchasing a new laptop so she can have one here at home while she has her work one at...work. Anyway. Looking through BestBuy's weekly flyer she saw a Toshiba for $349...
Hi guys,
Well the last time I built a computer was almost 5 years ago. When I built it I wanted an Intel processor because they were the best. So I got one. However, because I was on a budget I had to sacrifice and spend less on a motherboard (cheap Biostar motherboard :hurl: ) Anyway, I learned...
Hey guys,
I just won a Palit Radeon HD3850 Super 512MB DDR2 graphics card at Quakecon. I'm looking for some reviews on it, because I'm not sure about DDR2. I've heard there's a big difference between DDR2 and DDR3 memory. Any information about DDR2 vs 3 memory or a review to the card (I haven't...
Hey guys,
My brother is on a trip, and let me borrow one of his 8800 Ultras. Now I come from an ATI X1950Pro, and I've already noticed that the 2D image quality on ATI was much better. (at least, default settings). Everything seemed much more "crisp" on my ATI card. Does anybody have any...
Limestone networks is having a lan... It's just down the street from the Adam's Mark Hotel (where Qcon 03 was held). Anybody plan on attending? I think it's $5
Ok, so there's been a lot of news about Sapphire on the boards recently, and with ATI coming out with a half-decent video card that a lot of people want to buy (including myself), how has everybody's experience been with ATI's AIBs? I've personally only owned a Sapphire X1950GT, and I had to RMA...
So there I was, not really happy with my performance in ET:QW... so what do I decide to do? Overclock of course! So, I start with a modest 2.4ghz...everything's good n' stable... then I go up to 2.7ghz... still good, run 3dmark, no crashes... Decent for an e4300, but since I'd tried for 3ghz...

Hi,
I was copying files from my old 80gig hard drive to my new 750gig... after it finished, I booted into windows normally... things were kind of weird though, I could not scroll with my mouse wheel, and pressing forward and back on the buttons would scroll up/down... I couldn't uninstall the...
Hey guys...
I just did a fresh install of Windows XP SP2 - I already have all the latest patches for it, and I have all the latest drivers from my MB/VGA etc. I have a Turtle Beach HPA2 headset. When I try and go into ventrilo, when I test my microphone, it is really quiet. When I try to go and...
Hey guys,
I just made this video review of Halo 2 Vista. Here's the YouTube link
or download the higher-quality version [link]
comments are appreciated! :)
Hi,
I'm looking at getting a sound card (the HT Omega Striker). I was wondering if there's a noticeable difference between Max. digital playback 96k/24bit (striker) and 192k/24bit (the other model: Carlo). Has anybody had an experience going from 96k to 192k? Is it worth the extra cash? And...
Hi everybody,
I believe my DVI ports are broken on my Sapphire Radeon X1950GT. I'm using a DVI to VGA adapter to hook it up to my monitor. Unfortunately, when I use one of them, I get semi-transparent white diagonal lines (at about a 65 degree angle) going from the bottom right, moving to the...
Hey everybody,
A few weeks ago, I decided to try Windows Vista... so far, its been an... "odd" experience. When I backed up my XP documents, I backed up my fonts. When I put the fonts into the fonts folder in Vista - they just won't show up. They won't show up in Photoshop or notepad. Anybody...
Hey everybody!
I recently purchased new hardware - everything but the hard drive, and I'm planing on installing Vista on it. However, I only have the upgrade edition of Vista. Now, I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to Operating Systems, and I'm wondering if I'll still be able to upgrade to...
Hey everybody, thanks for viewing my thread!
I'm about to buy my new parts, and I would appreciate it if you look over them, and tell me if you have any suggestions!
Here's the parts:
Motherboard: Biostar T-Force P35
Processor: Intel e4300
Video card: Sapphire X1950GT
RAM: Crucial Ballistix...
Hey everybody,
I'm about to build a new computer, and in a recent PM with Dan, he said that recent Biostar T-Force series of motherboards have been "badass overclockers". While searching through ClubIT.com, I found a Biostar T-Force P35 board. (here's the link to the ClubIT page, and here's...
Hey everybody, I'm looking to build a new PC right after the school year ends, but I'm having a little trouble choosing which motherboard I want.
At first I thought I wanted to get the DFI Infinity, but then I heard about some issues with the board making some weird noises, so I'm not sure if...
So... What do you guys think's a better purchase? An 8800Ultra (for $800) or an 2900XT (for $400). Obviously, the Ultra has better performance, but comes at quite a hefty price for just being an over clocked card. On the other hand, you have the more power hungry and louder 2900XT, but for only...
