Hey everyone! I wanted a mechanical keyboard for gaming but I wasn't sure if I would like a mechanical keyboard, so I bought a $50 mechanical keyboard. (blue switches) This is the keyboard that I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I1N6J34/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I...

Thanks everyone! I'll most likely upgrade my CPU when I have the money to an i7 6700k and my GPU to a GTX 1070. For now, I'll just lower the settings to achieve higher FPS.

Hey everyone! I was thinking of getting a GTX1060 6gb to upgrade from my 1050ti. My 1050ti has been performing well, but I want to play games at 1080p 120fps since I have a 120hz monitor. I was thinking of playing games like BO4, PUBG and some other AAA titles on my machine. On these games, I...

Changing the power outlets slows my speed from 90mbps to 65mbps on download, but upload is unaffected. Super fast speed doesn't matter to me though, as I don't download many things. I'll try this for about a week and see if the problem happens again.

Hello everyone! I have had this issue for a few months now, and it's been getting very annoying. Once every 1-2 hours, mostly when I'm doing basic web usage (not gaming), I suddenly "lose" powerline ethernet connection, but the ethernet from the powerline is still connected. After looking at...

I found my solution! Today, in science class, we were doing a review on the experimental method. I thought: Why not apply this to my laptop? After a lot of testing, turns out, the power was causing the problems! The game will stutter when it is not charging, and when I plug it in, the game will...

After reinstalling windows and the graphics drivers, I can say that the issue still is there. However, the issue is a little bit different. The GPU usage would spike to 100% and the CPU would go to 5%, making the game about 30fps. In order to fix this issue, I would have to re-apply the high...

I recently bought a Lenovo Legion y530 laptop with a GTX 1050. However, when I try to play games from boot, the system seems to ignore the settings I have made for it in the NVIDIA Control Panel, in which I have set the Preferred Graphics Processor to the "High Performance NVIDIA Processor"...

I seem to have fixed the issue. All I did was reinstall the drivers (for like the 5th time) and it worked this time, for some reason. I'll update this thread regularly if anything happens.

After playing around with the laptop, it seems to be defaulting on using the integrated graphics on startup, meaning that everytime I want to use dedicated graphics, I have to re-apply the setting. This isn't a big deal, but does anyone know a way for the laptop to use dedicated graphics on...

After setting them to default, they seem to work, under the option of "Use Global Setting (Auto Select: NVIDIA GPU)". Sometimes though, it changes it to "High Performance NVIDIA processor", so I don't know why it changes it. I have checked my BIOS and there's no option that I think that will fix...

Yes, I have set my games to use the GTX 1050. It also seems to be using integrated graphics along with the 1050. I'll reset all settings to default in the Nvidia control panel and then see if that will do anything.

So my issue is a little... strange. I recently ordered a laptop with a GTX 1050. In some games using the laptop, I would get 100+ fps, and the usage of the deticated graphics would be 100% and the integrated would be 30%. However, sometimes, the integrated graphics usage would drop to 5%...

Thanks! Turns out I need an NVMe M.2 SSD.

Hey everyone! I don't know much about M.2 Solid State Drives, and I was recently looking to buy one for a laptop that I bought. However, I've noticed that some of the M.2 SSD's have 3 separate pins, while some have 2 (see images below) https://imgur.com/a/oiwfWqw https://imgur.com/a/AmvZT9d...
