    Question How to go about upgrading a Motherboard and CPU?

    Hi, all! So, after 5(ish) years of upgrading my GPU my CPU is finally in need of some love. I know that means upgrading the motherboard as well at this point, and it's all very unfamiliar territory for me. I don't know what a solid motherboard is when it comes to playing games, or a solid CPU...

    [SOLVED] New 2080 is constantly at almost max speed (1830 MHz)

    I just got a new 2080 and downloaded ASUS GPU Tweak to check out how it was running. I ran into this strange issue where the GPU speed appears to be constantly clocked up to 1830 MHz, even when idle. I saw it suggested to set the Nvidia Power Management settings to adaptive, but that didn't do...

    All controller joysticks register a "right" input on my PC after every movement.

    Whether it's an Xbox One Elite, Xbox One, or PS4 controller, whenever I move either joystick on my PC it registers a quick press to the right. In games, this leads to characters occasionally defaulting back to looking right at every press. It is not constant, but occasionally. I have an Xbox...

    Nvidia Graphics Card Driver keeps needing to be re-installed (on the same update)

    So, I have had to update my graphics card driver twice a week since roughly April 24. I have an Nvidia GTX 1060 and on April 24 I had a graphics driver update. I updated it, and my games worked fine. But now, every couple of days (have not determined what causes it), games will say that my...

    New computer is doing something a little weird - should I be worried?

    Quick question, guys! I recently had a new computer built for me by a local company. It seems to be running wonderfully. The only thing which gives me pause is a super brief glitch-out thing the ASUS motherboard screen does before booting to windows. Is this normal or something I should worry...

    Quick bottleneck question!

    So what would be the advantage of upgrading my CPU rather my GPU gaming wise? I probably won't have the time or money to upgrade in the next year so in that case would I notice a bigger difference in upgrading my GPU or CPU?

    Quick bottleneck question!

    My current graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series.

    Quick bottleneck question!

    I am considering purchasing a GTX 770, will this be bottlenecked by my processor or motherboard? Is it even worth getting or should I just focus on upgrading my CPU? [Side note, I'm not worried about my power supply as I will just get whatever's needed there] Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU 870...
