    Graphics power performance potential

    I want to make an ultimate gaming set up with triple monitors for gaming. I've determined that I cannot run 3 2k monitors @ 144 hz, even with 2 1080s in SLI. Would it be possible to run 3 1080p monitors @ 144 hz with one 1080 or would I need 2?

    Netflix running beside games not allowing graphics card clocks to increase

    Clocks max out when not streaming via netflix. I have forced max performance, but I really don't like doing it because I tend to forget to turn them back down

    Netflix running beside games not allowing graphics card clocks to increase

    It's rather strange. I have a TV hooked up to my computer that i run movies, TV shows, etc... When I run netflix, my graphics card clocks will not increase and runs at extremely low FPS in all games that I run. Usually, the games are GTA V, World of Warships, World of Tanks, and Civ 5. What...

    PCIE network card to access the internet

    If I could find them I wouldn't be posting on here. The one's that I can find are two and three hundred dollars and complete overkill for what I am using it for. So I am still looking for Windows 10 compatible suggestions for an ethernet card.

    I'm new to the whole PCIE network card world. I was looking for advice on what PCIE ethernet card I could get that is compatible with Windows 10 and would not be a bottleneck for my internet. Intel provided me with a list of their network cards that are Windows 10 compatible: Intel® 82599EB...

    Broadwell E compatibility question

    With the introduction of the new Broadwell CPU's and my wanting to build a 40 lane PCI enthusiast computer, I was wondering if the new CPU's would function normally on older x99 Motherboards (the specific one I want to use is the x99 A/usb 3.1 from Asus)? I've read the review on this website...

    NVME M.2 on x99 chipset

    I'm saving for a dream PC and like the idea of a M.2 on PCIE x 4 running NVME. The motherboard I want is the Asus x99 A. I've looked and looked for anything saying that it's NVME compatible with a M.2 as boot drive. I can't find it. However, I built a computer for a friend using the Asus x99...

    Windows 7 won't configure 7.1 surround sound on capable device anymore

    Mobo drivers are up to date and realtek is up to date. When I RMAed the graphics card the first time, I used onboard graphics and it used surround sound no problem.

    Windows 7 won't configure 7.1 surround sound on capable device anymore

    Since the other card failed on a different motherboard doing the same thing, I was apprehensive about switching the PCI slots. However, I did it anyway to cover all bases. I switched to the second PCI x16 slot and uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for the GPU. No change, still can't...

    Windows 7 won't configure 7.1 surround sound on capable device anymore

    I performed the clean GPU wipe using what you listed. I did it twice. The first time, i installed the driver from my CD and it did not fix the problem. The second time, I downloaded the drivers from AMD and this did not fix the problem. I did not flash the bios, so I would suspect that this...
