    AMD card/driver and 3d tv/monitor Crash

    I've found that with current Driver and Windows (11) simply turning on 3d from the Display Control Panel is enough to crash the driver so bad it cant just be reinstalled even after using the AMD driver Cleaner and had to system restore to get it working again. Was wondering if anyone found a...

    Linux Suggestion

    I have Win 11 Pro with its built in VM. I periodically go on a learn Linux thing. What kind of linux do people suggest, good gui, availability of apps and of course the ability to run well on my system inside a VM? Maybe this time I will learn more than installing gpu drivers sucks. :)

    Question to the Gurus out there, re: Can my board support/power a 5950x

    New NVME

    Picked up a new pcie 4 x4 nvme to replace my gen 3 boot disk. I always end up wondering if it was worth the money. I dont keep up on disk benchmarks and am curious how good this is? Win 11 if that matters. And I am guessing in the m.2 running off the chipset.

    First Time Team Red - thoughts and ideas?

    I am on the wire between the 3080 fe and 6800 xt. I think the big decider is I have an HDMI FreeSync monitor that NV just wont support. That with the greater memory size which I am hoping is good future proofing. From those who are familiar with AMD GPUs how does the AMD stuff work? Is it a...

    Ryzen 9 Pro v 3900 v 3950

    X570 Chipset to have 40 PCIe 4.0 lanes
