    Question MSI GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING X temperature and clock

    Your temps are within acceptable levels, even the hot spot. They should not be causing any errors. Graphics cards almost always go beyond their stated boost values. If it was causing too much heat, the card would throttle itself. Have you overclocked your card? If so, back it down a bit. What...

    Question Games crashing and screen flickering ?

    Well sadly, it sounds like a faulty GPU. You could try a new cable (HDMI? DP?) but if that doesn't work I would exchange the system if it is still under warranty. I hope it is.

    Question Games crashing and screen flickering ?

    Well if it is still under warranty I would bring it back to where you bought and ask for an exchange.

    Review Alienware AW3423DW Gaming Monitor Review: QD-OLED Impresses

    Dell doesn't offer an extended warranty. Maybe if you buy it from a third-party they will have something to offer. The warranty included is already 3 years with a zero dead pixels policy and overnight cross-shipping for replacements. Pop the bad panel in the box that the replacement came in...

    Review Alienware AW3423DW Gaming Monitor Review: QD-OLED Impresses

    If you'd read the review, you'd know that there is nothing "dull" about this monitor. Movie theaters run at around just 50 nits, so 250 is more than enough in a dark room. And True Black HDR 400 will temporarily blind you during bright flashes like explosions. Not a single review- and I believe...

    Review Alienware AW3423DW Gaming Monitor Review: QD-OLED Impresses

    EDITOR: In the third paragraph on page 1 you stated this is a 32" monitor; as you know, it's 34". Thanks!

    News Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition Review: A Huge Generational Leap in Performance

    Stop saying "we". Don't drag the rest of us into your silly rant. How about a nice cup of reality? A) You don't own an 8K monitor, nor will you in the foreseeable future. B) You don't get to complain about something that is free- as in this website. C) Do your OWN homework if you want...

    News Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition Review: A Huge Generational Leap in Performance

    Hey Jared! Having spent $950 in 2018 as an early adopter on the Alienware AW3418DW, I plan to "slum it" for a at least two more years with this 3440x1440p/120Hz/G-SYNC/IPS/CURVED display. But I'm going to to hold off until the end of the year to see if a "3080Ti" comes out with higher...

    News Nvidia Serves Up RTX 3090 Cooler Design Process, Explains 12-Pin Connector

    I certainly think this will be a major upgrade to my 1080Ti, but I sure won't be buying the Founders (Flanders?) edition. It looks like an ugly, Soviet-era piece of tech. It's depressing just to look at it. I'll take a hard look at an EVGA water-cooled model, should one arise. And good luck...

    LG 34GK950F Curved Gaming Monitor Review: 144Hz Ultrawide With HDR

    True, but the Dell has Gsync, which will cater to much more of the gpu owners out there (75% nV vs AMD ??). And frankly, when I'm sitting in a dark room and gaming, I don't want MORE brightness lol.

    LG 34GK950F Curved Gaming Monitor Review: 144Hz Ultrawide With HDR

    Why is there no comparison to the current champ- the Dell Alienware AW3418DW?

    Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Xtreme 11G Review: In A League of its Own

    The ever present listed "Con" of all AIB cards that the "Axial fans exhaust waste heat into your case" is flat out ridiculous. Clearly the Aorus was running 5-10ºC cooler during the tests, so what's the problem?? Should I be worried about my ram or SSD overheating LOL? Another "Con" peeve...

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition Review: Replacing GeForce GTX 1080

    Something seems off here. Every other review I've read has the 2070 and 1080 neck and neck. Ditto for the 2080 and 1080 Ti...
