    Trying to run 4k games @ 60hz... but... Screen tearing

    Pros. 4K/60Hz? Possible...even higher. 4K= more details in gaming? Yes. 4K+Titan standalone= better overall performance? Yes. Grey Area. 4K= more space for studio work. True but counterproductive with tiny UI. TITAN X SLI is inferior to AMD flagship XFIRE especially with 4k. 4K/4:4:4 subsample...

    HELP!! horizontal line breakups

    Okay, that's likely caused by the lack of DirectX 12 support. Do you use nvidia card? then it's definitely due to failed drivers. They're falling behind on actual platform optimization. If you have AMD, then I want you to go the catalyst control panel and tinker it. Also, make sure you have...

    Mulit-Threaded PC game list?

    Need For Speed Carbon sort of "learns" about the application settings in the nvidia Control Panel as you go along. I'm playing it again 1080p with VSYNC on plasma TV so it's super smooth.

    Gaming Monitor up to 350$

    Can you get a Plasma TV because if you're lucky enough to get a new 1080p plasma TV of any size you desire, it's gonna do many wonders for your refresh rates. The Freesync can be used to utilize the maximum you can get out of the plasma speed. Which is, 600Hz subfield motion. No lag whatsoever...

    How to revive a BIOS chip jumper if hypothetically it loses charge without buying a new one.

    Okay so aside from the title how could I revive a BIOS chip jumper if the BIOS itself is erased (hypothetically) and took the jumper with it. I know it sounds stupid but trust me, it ain't. Think about it, if you had no way to obtain a new CMOS chip and it was erased, how would you revive the...

    What is 16:9 like on a 21:9 monitor for gaming

    Some games don't support that aspect ratio even though many GPUs do. So you're gonna have to "widescreen fix patch" the ones you wanna play. Yes, you'll see more horizontal details because 16 scale vs 21 duh. The 3D application can also be patched to show the same aspect ratio in a 16:9 monitor...

    (Need expert's help!) Having a strong dilemma: Use intergrated graphics or old GPU for dual monitor setup

    210 should do the job BUT since the CPU can't handle it, then I'd recommend using the integrated chip (like in a laptop except for in this case, you'd be connecting the integrated to additional external). Use GTX for primary monitor and set the GTX control panel in the format below to optimize...

    Low budget computer

    Hey man, if the socket fits the APU, you've got a nice build there! The one special thing about going with AMD right now would be increased support for DirectX12 (given you run Windows 10 which you probably should). Also, you can put it in XFIRE once they decide to upgrade to a newer AMD GPU...

    should I buy the Samsung S22D300HY or the LG W2261V-PF?

    Those are sort of old displays and it doesn't really matter but depending on the customer support and sheer quality, I'd choose Samsung over LG any day.

    I need help choosing a monitor..

    Take the Samsung one. Leave LG and Dell because they are crappy built, poor customer support, lower value, bad backlights, and isn't anything special at all. I'd honestly take Samsung over the other ones because with Samsung, you're guaranteed to get the best in class quality, performance, and...

    'Need For Speed' PC Performance Review

    Need for speed went to crap after Carbon. This game is not worth buying although it's much better than MW2012 and all that.

    Need suitable graphic card

    Stay away from nvidia for a while because they are having trouble with DirectX 12. They were too busy sabotaging AMD by playing shekelstein with game developers and had missed out DirectX optimization. I'm having trouble with my nvidia drivers as well. So better stay away till they release their...
