Monitor: AOC 2460G4 GPU: gtx 980 In the Nvidea control panel you can change resolutions. There are three types of resolutions you can choose from: Custom, HD, and PC. When I choose the 1920x1080 in the PC section; which enables the 144hz of my monitor, CSGO is put into this odd aspect ratio...

Update Used a different video source and used a dual display, an hour for each setup while playing the game it most frequently happens(csgo). Neither setups black screened. Then used the original source for awhile with the same result. The recent updates from Windows or amd may have fixed the...

So turned power usage to high performance as stated while testing the monitors. The original monitor persists while the replacement hasn't. Might be a monitor issue. Before I declare it the monitor, where do I find the log for the drive? P.S. I've tried the clean install of the drive with no...

Just tried a different monitor with no hiccups, plugged in the other with the same result. I was on a bit of a time restrain so I'll test it more extensively tomorrow.

I think I've made my choice, thank you geofelt for your help.

I've decided to make the transition to the intel side of things. But I will not be buying into the Skylake series of i5's. Only because they don't have a substantial performance increase from the 4690k and the 4590 is only 5% lower performance rating than the 4690 and cheaper, I'm also not much...

My limitation in some instances is my CPU, obviously. But the GPU can also be a hindrance. I have even gone to checking those trouble shooting methods you suggested. With 4 cores at 100%, all is fine and normal, slight stutter. With 4 cores and 70%, significant drop in performance. Figured I...

Yes, I am aware of games benefitting performance from either GPU or CPU. I understand the limitations of my CPU, especially since it's not oc'ed. With that said, I play the games my system gets its best performance, GPU intensive games. I know I need to upgrade my socket type to the LGA1150 but...

Power consumption is not a concern of mine. Since my desktop will accumulate 18-24 hours of use during a 7 day period, often less. Both cards can't be that great, like I said price/performance. I'm not expecting some drastic increase. But I'm sure one card has more cons than the other, out...

Specs FX8350 @ 4.0GHz Sapphire R9 280 non-oc 990FXA-UD3 rev 4 1080p @60Hz Rosewill Stallion series 700W Been looking at GPU's lately and have found that the new R9 3xx series are "rebranded" cards and perform significantly less than a GTX 970 or above. But at the same time a 290x can perform on...

So collectively from both of your's input, crossfire wouldn't benefit all that much. Which is a good enough reason I'll just wait to upgrade GPU. Thanks again and since schaft mention this first he will get the solution.

Thanks for your input schaft. I will keep this thread unanswered for at least 24 hours, so someone else with possibly different information can chime in if they please. But I will absolutely choose a answer in due time. Could you give some links to your source of information when you get the time?
