Nvidia drivers haven't been good to me, personally. Just updated drivers through Geforce experience from the 350 range to the 360 range, and was greeted with an instantaneous crash. Windows wouldn't turn on until I went back to the backup HD 5450 I keep and uninstalled the Nvidia drivers...

So, my 3d ware escalade 8 series recently began throwing off smoke and sparks. Presumably, it's dead. So I was wondering; is there any modern replacement for a raid card like that? It had 8 ports, so I would like a newer one with 8 or more connections. Sata or ide, either is fine.

So, my friend recently bought a GTX 550 TI. In my old gaming rig, i have a GTX 280. For some reason, on all games we tested (World of tanks, War thunder, Minecraft, GTA 4), I got better frame rates. I want to know why. Is the GTX 550TI slower than the 3 generations older GTX 280? Both PCs have...

Maybe a phenom ii x4 955 or 945? They're on eBay for like 50 bucks, have similar tdp, and are pretty good. However, I would get a graphics update. A 512 mb 6450 isn't good. I would get a hd 5570 if ur psu can handle it.

In my experience, ram speed doesn't really matter, except for futureproofing. I have a pc that runs a core 2 extreme, and it performs similarly to my I7 5820k in gaming (if they both have the same gpu). However, futureproofing is a big advantage to these newer chipsets and ram types.

In my personal exprerience, the Pentium is actually really good in world of tanks and world of warplanes, but loses in war thunder to my I3. The Pentium averages around 50 fps in wot, while the I3 averages around 50, but will drop to 30 when the team I'm on starts to get murdered. The pent drops...

didnt it say that in directx12 you would be able to utilize all vram, but it wouldnt effectively be doubled, that each card can only swap so much data with the other?

So, I have 2 smartphones in my posession, and I'm looking for the best one to run ubuntu Linux on. I don't care about anything except performance. I want to be able to do stuff I would do on my labtop. Which one is faster if I overclock them? I looked it up on the internet, but every thread I...

Ok, so. Looking beyond all the fanboyism, and all the arguments. That of is fine for 1080p at 40+ fps on all but the most demanding games at max settings. It may even run those at max , Idk. My 970 has never had a problem except for 4k. And don't forget, a pc is... A PC. You can use it for...

Yeah, the I5 rig is probably better right now. The I7 will give minimal perfomance increase in games, while a gtx 980 will be much better than a 970

You also may want an SSD along with the HDD you have. It won't boost fps, but it will give you quicker startup and application running times.

Awww, setting up sli requires effort! Jk, I guess I'll go for that. Hopefully, I won't get too many compatability problems. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply, its a Dell ultrasharp 32. I think it's 4k, which I just discovered (and probably is the reason that my 970 is inadequate for ultra settings)
