    New GTX 1070, making desktop grey?

    I have tried that. When I adjust anything it turns the screen back to the colors they are supposed to be. Then when I run a game, or some application, it washes the colors out again like the settings just dont stick.

    New GTX 1070, making desktop grey?

    Hey all, The performance of my GTX 1070 (Gigabyte Windforce) is great. That isn't the issue. What I noticed is that my desktop background and win 10 tool bar (which I have set to solid black) is grey as if a setting is off. When I open the nVidia control panel and move the hue slider (not even...

    Will my i5 bottleneck my GTX 1070?

    I have a similar question. My processor is a 4690 w/ mini-itx mother board (Asrock H97M-itx/ac). Curious if there is a bottleneck as well. Edit: Just saw the above answer. Glad to hear about no bottleneck. :)

    Upgrading from a Radeon 6850

    By stable, are you referring to the frame rate latency issue? Great convo and links, all. Leaning to 7950... But a 7870 might just have a better price point. Trying to find the 7870 le right now... Any suggestions?

    Upgrading from a Radeon 6850

    Hey guys, I am upgrading from a 6850 and am torn if I should get a 7870 or a 7950. Price isn't much of an issue, but I guess I am not wholly sure a 7950 is worth the extra cash. Along with this upgrade, I will also be upgrading my Mobo and Processor. So, my specs will be the below: Proc...

    Phenom II x4 955 BE or i3 - 2100T

    Nah. When I say "just" I suppose I was incorrect, I bought it all in November. While I should have gotten an AM3+, it doesn't bother me a whole lot. I am going back to intel when next I upgrade.

    Phenom II x4 955 BE or i3 - 2100T

    Hey all, I recently bought a Phenom II x4 955 BE. I am actually a bit underwhelmed by it's performance. Reading the best gaming CPUs for the money here on Tom's, I am starting to think I should have went with an i3-2100T until I could afford an i5-2500k or higher. Question is, would buying...

    New build, not running like it should... ?

    Currently I am running Windows 7. If memory serves, I am using the drivers from Creative... hmm... I removed the card drivers and card all together and it seemed to help slightly. Onboard is good enough, so I may end up keeping that instead of the card. However, I am still getting slight...
