I've been wracking my brain about this for days trying to figure out what is wrong with this thing. I have this Asus RTX 2070 ROG Strix that lights up and is detected by Windows. It will not give me an output to any display and I've tried doing it through HDMI and Displayport. I've tried 3...

Hello and welcome to this tutorial! If you've been redirected here by someone here on the forums or somewhere else in the ocean of the internet, then hopefully you're at the right place. This is made to be an easy to read and organized format...

Welcome to this tutorial! In this short guide, I'll show you the surprisingly simple process of upgrading your GPU BIOS. It's a very simple thing to do and should only take you about 4 or 5 minutes. This guide covers the process of upgrading...

I did do that but it didn't help. But I did find out something that did help. I was doing some quick reading while waiting in line at the store today and saw that if both units aren't in the same orientation, it can severely degrade performance and cause intermittent connection issues due to...

I wish I could give you both the best answer but yeah its the adapter. I jumped to conclusions too soon mostly because of killer NICs unsavory reputation. Still, next time I buy a motherboard it's going to have intel gigabit lan (well it will be on an AMD board because I can't waittt for zen to...

I haven't posted on this site in over a year so I'll make this quick as I have been busy lately but this has been a major pain in the behind yet not quite to the point of breaking the camel's back. You see on my MSI G45 motherboard, it has the unfortunate curse of having a killer nic at first...

Not too shabby at all, Biostar. Hardly did I ever expect them to come out with a decent looking and quite possibly feature filled Z97 board. The brown is a little questionable but they're trying to go in a different direction than everyone else and I can see it working out. I love the clever...

Incoming wave of people who are going to call me a <removed> for admiring great craftsmanship and beautiful design despite getting parts in the mail ready for another build to place elsewhere in the house (http://puu.sh/fz45L/7114e150c4.jpg THIS BOX IS SO CUTE OMG) Watch the homophobic slurs. - G

Oh hush. I'd buy a mac if I had the money just to admire the build quality. I absolutely love spaces too. But the cost/stigma to it is just not worth it. I definitely wouldn't use OSX to say the least. Automatically would have installed Debian/Arch on it. Hoping everyone has watched this video

Have you ever looked into a bios update for your model that might resolve the issue? It wouldn't be the first time that I've seen an issue with an alienware laptop resolved by a BIOS update. It does sound like the panels control unit is out of whack and the only way to fix that is a firmware...

It depends on the game really. Most people get 144Hz monitors for competitive games like CS:GO or DOTA 2. If you're planning to take advantage of it in games like Crysis 3 then you're out of luck since even 2 way configs struggle at max details/4X MSAA or more at 1080p. Really a 270X is the...

Single card setups are the safest. Less expensive, less heat, less driver issues, no need to worry if it's supported in games, and frees up more slots for other things as well as let's you dip money into other components that might not receive as much attention.

Wait for the 380X to come out which will most likely cause prices to drop and see what direction the market goes from there. It's expected to launch this month actually. I almost bought a 295X2 but then I realized I'd need at least a $170 PSU to run it properly and since I want to do a custom...

Maybe you should try increasing your 2D mode clock speeds while at the desktop using MSI afterburner and see if that assists in reducing the problem. I'm not sure what to do about games stuttering and freezing though. I'll have to ponder it for a while and see if I can pinpoint any possible...

Yeah it's as simple as that. No crossfire bridge or adapter nonsense required.
