The Win 10 ver. is 1903. I'll give the Ubuntu Live USB boot a try and update. appreciate it.

Question I'm hoping someone might be able to help with. i7-7700k 16GB DDR3 1600 (2x8) ASUS Z270e MOBO 500GB Samsung SSD 750W Corsair Platinum MSI Nvidia 1080TI founder's edition (EVGA 2080 Super) So I have been issues with the 1080 ti drivers for about 3 releases so I had to roll back to...

Ya for 400 bucks, this thing was a steal w/ an i-7 in it. Oh I will def. use the GPU/CPU from this one. I have 8GB, but its only posting up as 6GB but like you said it's enough. It's funny, on the FFxiv arr benchmark, I get really good scores, but when I played the beta it did not match which...

Roger that LC. I will be doing no SLI since I have only one PCI x16 slot. Besides MAYBE upgrading the PCU and changing out my 4x2g for 2x8 Ram, this rig has a life expectancy of only another 1-2 years before I buy/Try to build something else. For the EVGA, is the backplate a good thing to...

Thank you for your help Luckiest. Now my XPS pci x16 supports 2.1 and the gtx 760 is 3.0. Will that matter or is the card backwards compatible? I was going through the GTX 760 models and it seems most come OCed. I assume I can set them to the default clock once installed? Should I look for...

Thanks for the input Luckiest. I researched some more and I just wanna check to see if I got this right: i-7 2600 = 128W (Ref. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-sandy-bridge-review-intel-core-i7-2600k-i5-2500k-core-i3-2100-tested/21) GTX 760 2G Max = 150W - 158W...

I checked out the 7950 and the GXT 760 cards you guys recommended. The power draws at peak on the cards are: HD 7950 = 157* GTX 760 = 150* (looks to have better benchmarks as well) HD 7870 = 118*. HD 7850 = 130 (as Luckiest stated) As you said byo, the 7950 SHOULD run on my setup, same...

Hey everyone, I am looking into upgrading my XPS 8300 for FFXIV:ARR. I put an HD 6770 1G awhile back but it's just not really cutting it (it's OC at 875/1200). I can run most things on standard settings in 1080P, but looking to bump it up to High. The benchmark is giving me high ratings on...
