Hello thenemesis360! The 2 graphics cards which you found could be enough to power through what you intend to be doing with your computer. If you don't mind spending a little more than what you're looking at, you could get an r9 270. I'm featuring an r9 270x (half a step up from the r9 270)...

Hello Bacono10! I would suggest putting your computer into a clean boot to try and resolve any software conflicts which may be present. If you do not know how to do this, you can go to this link and follow the instructions to doing so : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135. The...

Hello GiveAndTake, I have a question for you, to help me find a solution to your problem ; Have you changed any of the settings located in your Nvidia Control Panel? If you did, i would suggest resetting all of them to default. Another possible issue which i have come up with, maybe your PSU...

Hello mecafly, I would pin the poor performance of your GPU on the cooling system of your laptop. Laptop's, as they are thin and compact, often cause GPUs and CPUs to thermal throttle. Thermal throttling is essentially your component, either CPU or GPU, lowering it's clock speed (thus the power...

Yes, the r9 280x will perform better than the r9 280 and the gtx 760.

I assumed this was the case as I observed two 3DMARK Fire Strike Version 1.1 benchmarks, The first with an i5 4690, and the second with an i7 4770k : The i5 rig scored a total score of 8358; As the i7 rig scored a total of 9436, therefore, I was convinced that the i5 was bottlenecking the r9...

Most, if not all graphics cards have a power connector to allow the PSU to supply power to it. What matters is what type of connector it is (usually 6-pin, 8-pin and sometimes 4-pin), to make sure that your PSU has the necessary connectors to power it. I'm not sure about the 750 to, but I would...

Are you still having issues with the display driver not responding after performing a clean boot? And there is a way to check if the pixels are a software problem or a hardware problem: take a screen shot (alt + prnt screen) and paste it in paint or any other program. If the miss colored pixels...

An AMD FX-8350 will bottleneck an r9 290, but not by much (about 5 fps compared to the 4770k from intel). So, the question you should be asking yourself is : "Is an extra 250 or so dollars worth the extra 5 fps?", if the answer is yes, then get the 4770k, but otherwise, the FX-8350 should be...
