    Question Can I setup a dual laptop streaming setup and if so, how

    In this image you can kind of see how you can connect the capture card with a passthrough to a monitor and your old laptop that you will use to stream the footage you are capturing. So your HDMI out on your new laptop gets plugged into the capture card, then the capture card connects to your...

    Question Can I setup a dual laptop streaming setup and if so, how

    Okay that is doable then. You'll need a few pieces of equipment, but it shouldn't be too difficult. You will need a capture card to get the gameplay from one machine to another. Elgato has some external capture cards that should serve your needs. You just have to decide if you want to capture...

    Question Can I setup a dual laptop streaming setup and if so, how

    Hi welcome to the forums! Just to confirm what you're asking here: You want to play the games on your new laptop, then capture and stream the gameplay using the other laptop?

    Question Brand new PC lagging and freezing

    Welcome to the Forums! You didn't list what PSU that you installed with the computer. It could be a power delivery issue It could possibly be a driver issue. I am not sure what Snappy Driver Installer is but I haven't had an issue with just letting windows pull all the drivers so I would let...

    [SOLVED] Why is my new RX 6950 XT performance so bad ?

    You can go the RMA route but what you're describing sounds like a software issue like others have mentioned. Have you tried to roll back to stable drivers from AMD? Check the Radeon settings and try an older driver standard. Have you tried your GPU in a different slot? I had a PCIe slot that...

    Question Upgrading from 3700X - 5700X or 5800X?

    I had always intended for my next build to use the 5700X, sadly not to be but that's not the point. I think this may be a good time to buy. I have been getting a ton of adverts as well, giving away games and all sorts of things if you buy a CPU on Labor Day. You can probably even find a MoBo...

    Question Upgraded my PC yesterday but I am stumped.

    Hi and welcome to the forums! Could you give a full system spec for the machine? Including any storage devices you may have installed and your Power Supply. My first question is why would you build a WIndows 8 USB? That machine should be running WIN 10. Was it running WIN 8 before when it...

    Question Advice on audio upgrade for my desktop PC ?

    The HD 6XX are an amazing set of headphones, as someone who also possesses a melon sized dome they fit so comfortably and my ears don't sweat. I have a modi/magni stack and it is really just a treat to listen to music and record audio on my setup.

    Question High Ram Usage

    Best advice is to install 4 more GB of RAM and dump that clunker of an HDD for an SSD or see if your machine has a slot for an M.2 drive and load your OS there. It'll run you ~$300 USD to have someone to do it for you. That 8th Gen i3 is not the best choice I've seen but you probably didn't...

    [SOLVED] Need advice about Gtx 550ti vs amd hd 6870

    You have 5k to spend and you are looking at graphics cards from over a decade ago? What currency is that? 5k USD will get you basically whatever graphics card you'd like.

    [SOLVED] Black Screen after installing GPU drivers for Gigabyte RX 590 ?

    Alright, this may or may not work but it is something to try. Unplug your computer from any power. Then hold down your power button for 30 - 45 seconds. This hopefully will clear whatever state your computer found itself in and allow you to boot back up. If that doesn't work, there is also a...
