    windows 8.1 wireless network Help!

    Try hitting the windows key, and when the start screen comes up start typing the word wireless. You should see some options on the left after it searches, one of them should be what you need. If not, go to control panel, then networks, and look on the left for a link that says wireless.

    260 SLI to 7950, computer not turning on

    Sounds like you may have a bad card (the 7950). I run 2x 7950's in crossfire. One day while gaming my computer shut off and refused to power back on. Long story short, one of my cards went bad, no matter what the computer refused to boot if I had the power connections plugged into the card. I...

    multi monitor help

    In AMD CCC go to the "My Digital Flat Panels" tab. Then click on "Scaling Options", select the monitor that has the black bars, then move the scaling slider. This should stretch the 1080p image to the borders of the screen properly.

    Crossfire 7950 and 4 Screen Setup

    The R9 280x is a 7970ghz edition and the new R9 280 is a 7950. You can crossfire with either and be just fine. Personally I run 2x 7950's with 4x 1080p monitors similiar to what you are wanting. My 3 main screens are 3 Asus LED's (VE248Q I believe), the top screen is a 39 inch toshiba LED.

    Can i crossfire hd 7970 with hd 7990

    Yes you can, but there really isnt much point. Going above 2 graphics cards, the returns are greatly diminished. You'll see a difference in very few games when it comes to using the 7990 alone compared to crossfired with the 7970for Tri-Fire (3x cards).

    Upgrade i7 920 to a current AMD?

    If you're going to switch, from what you have the only thing I would consider is an AMD 8350. Pair this with a nice motherboard like an Asus Sabertooth 990fx and you'll have a nice setup, but honestly for you I would simply hold off on the upgrades. You'll see very little real world difference...

    Can i run 2 cards (one for gaming, one TV tuner) simultaneously?

    The All in wonder cards should be avoided. They simply are cards that have the video card and TV built on. The functionality is the same as having them seperate, but unless you're short on space, theres no point in trying an all in wonder since when you want to upgrade your graphics card you...

    No Windows 8 product key stickers = legitimate customers pay. Class action lawsuit?

    Most toshiba laptops no longer ship with discs. The restore function is built in based on a partition on the hard drive. Some will give you the option to burn the discs yourself, but most use a restore function thats built in and accessible when you boot. The downside of this is If the drive...

    Best AMD CPU right now?

    For your budget you want the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 for your motherboard and an 8350 for the processor. Avoid the 95* amd processors, they are pretty much cherry picked 8350's that have been highly overclocked. Save the money, get an 8350 and overclock it yourself.

    3 monitors 7950

    I run 4 monitors from my 7950. When going above 2 you'll need to use a displayport adapter. The best ones of these are the ones that are listed as EyeFinity compatible and are usually DVI. You'll want this for one of your current monitors and then use a DVI to HDMI cable to your monitor. For...

    AMD Radeon R9 290x HDMI not working for 3 display setup

    It depends on which card you have. How many outputs do you have and what are they. My card has 2x mini DP ports, 1x HDMI and 1x DVI and I can use all of them. Some cards will have a 5th output, another DVI port. If you have one of these, you can usually only use 2 out of the 3 of the HDMI/DVI...

    Dual monitor displays

    Follow the instructions the first responder gave you. You have to let windows know where the monitors are relative to each other. I run a 4 screen setup that is in the shape of a T (3 monitrs side by side with one big screen above the middle). You can designate any of the screens as primary...

    Windows 8.1 did crash my graphics

    We'll most likely need more information like which grapics card your runing and how you are testing the FPS, but the first thing I would do is update the display driver if you're not already using the latest.
