    RUST super laggy even with good specs

    Recently I bought RUST and it will get low frame rates when playing, at first it will be ok then once I start exploring around and stuff it will start to lag and freeze up. It makes my computer run real slow, usually if a game is laggy and I push the windows key to force close it using task...

    Help Me Pick A Power Supply.

    I want to know which of the 3 on my list are the best, I plan on getting a 1000 evga gold in the future because I will leave my PC on as a server, get water cooled CPU/GPU all that good stuff, but for now I want something more budget friendly like the 3 on my list.

    Help Me Pick A Power Supply.

    Hi, I recently got a new video card (MSI GTX 980 4 GB) and my current PSU just isn't cutting it anymore its an EVGA 500w white gpu. My pc will turn off while I'm gaming around mid game if not sooner, my guess is either when the factory OC or Boost clock kicks in my PSU can't handle it and it...

    PC restarts after new gpu

    I tried playing a different game(alot more GPU and CPU demanding) for around the same time and it didn't restart itself, I think it may have been the game. But I also deleted some games that I had downloaded from igggames.com and they have gave me viruses before. You think it could have been the...

    PC restarts after new gpu

    No, I don't have another power supply to test it, but I don't think it would be the psu I used to have an RX 480 and it ran well I just tested it again and played until it turned off with MSI after burner, my GPU temp was around 53C and the CPU was around 60C max for both. I checked that all the...

    i7 3770 3.4ghz

    I recently got an MSI GTX 980 4gb, I want to know if this cpu will cause any bottle neck. I will not be overclocking (barely learning to). My current CPU is an i7 3770 @ 3.4 ghz base clock and 3.9ghz boost. I want to know how much bottle neck it will cause if any at all.

    msi gtx 1060 3gb vs msi gtx 980 4gb

    I need help deciding what to get, the 980 is a year old (used) for $196 and the 1060 has 3GB and a backplate brand new for $214. Can't really decide which to get I want the one with the best performance, it really comes down to backplate vs VRAM. I play mostly open world survival games like ARK...
