Question guys. Normal whenever I upgrade a GPU is when I actually do a reformat. This time around it's not the case and I'm just swapping cards. Do I need to uninstall/reinstall drivers for the new card even though both cards are Nvidia? Or would it automatically detect the card and be super duper?
Question for you guys. I stream on Twitch a lot and was thinking of ways to improve the quality of my stream. Talked to a few other streamers who suggested that I switch out my 3770k for something new.
Was wondering if someone on the forum here has/does stream and has noticed a increase in...
Hey guys. Was wondering if someone could lend some insight for me.
I have 2 monitors setup for my rig. My main is a Dell S2716DG and my secondary is a Acer X223W. The Dell runs at 144hz while the Acer is at 60hz. Now before I upgraded to my 1080, I was running these monitors at their normal...
Was looking to pick one of these up when they came back in stock but Newegg shows that they might not order anymore back in. Friend of mine talked to a rep and supposedly said no more will be ordered.
Looking at other sites but having trouble finding them. Was wondering if you guys think this...
Been looking at this monitor for a while and Amazon has a good price on it right now. Anyone own one or have any experience playing on it? Thoughts and opinions?
Hey guys. I'll give a quick summary on whats up...
I have been thinking about doing a Monitor and GPU upgrade. Was thinking about going with a 980 ti as my title shows. Was thinking about upgrading my Dell 2408WFP to a Dell S2716DG. Games I mostly play are Siege, BF4, D3, RL, WoW, Division...
Hey guys. Been running with a 3770 for the past couple years and I was planning on doing a Monitor and GPU upgrade in the next couple of weeks to 2k. Was thinking though, with jumping up to a higher resolution how much will that impact my CPU? Do I need to upgrade that as well? Thank you.
Hey guys and gals. Need some input on what to do. I currently have a Dell 2408WFP as my main monitor. It still runs good. No issues at all. But I have been thinking about upgrading to 2k. I would like to try and hit some Ultra settings at that resolution in the games I play. Currently I play a...
Hello all. Was wondering if I could grab some input/ideas from you with regards to watching a baby. My wife and I want a setup in which we could watch our baby day or night and remotely if possible. I've looked at baby monitors themselves but was wondering if a webcam is better? Secure? Was...
Need some thoughts. I'm looking to upgrade this week. I'm in need of a card (between these 2) that will allow me to play BF4 at Ultra detail and be able to use Shadow Play as well. Can a 770 do this realistically while to a good degree maintaining 60fps? Or would the safer bet to be to go with...
With these 2 brands of cards who would you rather go with? I have never owned a card from either one of them but have heard negative comments from both but not a whole lot of positive. Heard Sapphire has bad build quality, while XFX customer support has went down the pooper even though they...
I know its late guys but appreciate you looking. New build happening next week. I want to game. I'm on Vaca. BF4 is the drug of choice. I'm looking to play on Ultra settings. My res is 1920x1200. I need to pick one of these 3 cards. I'm worried about the Vram being to small on the 770, but I've...
Hey guys. Was hoping you could lend some insight to me on how I should proceed. Specs of my current rig are in my sig. I was hoping to do a gpu upgrade for BF4. I currently only play games at 1900x1200. Not planning on gaming any higher. I want something that would last me a couple years (2-3 if...
Hey guys. I just put a new rig together this past weekend. Well in the new build I picked up a OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD. On that drive I installed Win7 Ultimate 64 bit and have done windows updates. I do not have any games installed on that drive and installed only security essentials and things...
I'm building a new rig and cant decide on what gpu's I should get. I want something obviously powerful but was hoping that I could get something that will have enough "hmph" to carry me on for at least another 2 years (my 260 has been doing 3+ years). I am a regular gamer playing at 1920x1200...
Need some input and thoughts on a new build. I have put together a list of possible items and i am hoping that you guys can lend some input on the system.

Im looking at getting a new card here in about a month and was wondering what would be a good upgrade for me. Not looking to spend a fortune (wanted to keep it under $300) but wanted something that will play most games at 1920x1200 and give me some good fps of 60 or higher (CoD BO, BFBC2, Metro...
Hey guys, i got a question for ya. Might be simple one to fix. I have GPU-Z running and it is telling me that my 260 is running at only x8 and not x16. How do i enable the card to run at x16? My motherboard is a Evga 122-CK-NF68-A1.
It mentioned that my power options could effect my card...

Hey guys. I have a WD 250 gig external hd that i have had for about 4-5 years now. Seems just recently she took a dive. Windows does not want to recognize her, and wants to format the drive. Ive hooked it up to 3 machines (2 vista, 1 xp) and neither of them can read it.
What are my options...
Hey guys.... Well my 8800 Ultra just decided to take a dump on me. And.... well, me being the dumbass that I am, I forgot to register my card with Evga. And it has been well over a year since I purchased it. So any warranty right now is out of the question ( I emailed one of the RMA guys at Evga...

Well on dell, if go through the small business section i can get a 9400 with XP home. On normal home section the e1705's only come with vista. Essentially they are the same rig right? Well ive heard to much bad press about vista (playing games, programs, being buggy etc.) I think i would rather...
Hey guys, the company im working for has discounts for the employees through dell. They have given us a ID # but i dont know what page to go to, to add the ID # and get the discount. Any ideas or help?
Just wondering if the X1700 was a decent mid-range card? Was hoping to do mild gaming. I know its not a blockbuster of card like a 7900 GS and what not, but for maybe WOW, Far Cry, 2142 on mild settings do you think it would perform ok?
Well right now i currently own a Thermaltake Kandalf tower (black). Well when i ordered the tower last year i didnt look to see what the case material was (heh steel). Well the problem for me is, is that the case is just to damn heavy with all my gear inside. And with going to lan's and what...

Hey guys, I have a buddy who has a Inspiron E1705 in which the mb fan doesnt stay on all the time and the lappy gets hot. He was hoping to maybe have the fan run all the time or at least be on more so that he doesnt have heat issues. Now i suppose if the heat was a real issue the pc would show...
Theres only some much i can spend but i was wondering if the X1700 was a good gaming chip for a laptop? Is it worse of better than a 7900GS?
What are the mid to high range graphics cards out there right now? Any insight would be great :D
