    Is my video card dying?

    No i'm on a single 2560x1440 monitor. I've been seeing net lag from my new router that I got. And i haven't done a windows experience update since i got my ssd a few months ago. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Is my video card dying?

    Hi, I had an asus gtx 670 that i killed when overclocking. Asus was kind enough to honour the warranty and sent me a refurbished model. I don't trust it (or myself) so i haven't overclocked it all. It's been about 3 months since i got it and everything has been fine up until now. I was playing...

    Samsung Intros Galaxy Tab 3 "Lite" Tablet

    Samsung's high end products are great but there low to mid ranged products are garbage. They need to stop using the "Galaxy" brand on everything they release or the name will lose all it's value. People will buy this thinking since it has galaxy in the name so it's going to be a decent tablet...

    HP Slate21 Pro Business All-in-One First Look

    They can make a 21" FHD tablet with a fairly powerful processor and charge 399? Why can't they make one that is 10". I've been trying to find a 10" tablet that isn't overpriced (samsung) or riddled with issues (asus) or just a terrible tablet.

    Sony to Announce Xperia Z2 Next Month

    The difference between 720p and 1080p was fairly noticeable, doubt that will be the same for 1440. This will probably be when diminishing returns kick in. The only way i can see the pixels on the s4 is when I'm so close to the screen that it causes eye strain, pretty much only when I'm trying to...

    Netgear r7000 router keeps dropping only when playing league of legends

    My old router worked fine, that's why i believe it's the r7000. With an ethernet cable i get no issues, but on the N and G band i get the problem. It's only in league of legends and nothing else. I've tried the game on my brother's computer and i get the same issues, his wifi card is an asus...

    Make my build Cheaper

    Don't cheap out on a psu, a quality psu can last through a few builds and not destroy your components. I'm not exactly sure how an sshd works but it has 8gb of nand flash and it uses caching algorithms to store data on it. They are faster than conventional HDD's but slower than an SSD. Great for...

    Make my build Cheaper

    You can save some money by getting a cheaper motherboard. Not sure about prices where you are but this one is nice. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514 You can also omit the ssd and get a hybrid drive, or just get an ssd at a later time.

    Netgear r7000 router keeps dropping only when playing league of legends

    Yeah i went through troubleshooting on the forums and they said it was packet loss when i ran the diagnostic tool. But i contacted my isp they said they haven't seen any packet loss, but they restarted it anyways for me. And on the old router/modem combo from Rogers, an smc 3dgn i haven't had...

    Netgear r7000 router keeps dropping only when playing league of legends

    No i have a tp-link wdn-4800 in this computer and it's 450+450. The 5ghz band has no interference on it. But the problem is that I'm only getting this issue with league of legends every thing else is fine.

    Netgear r7000 router keeps dropping only when playing league of legends

    I recently got a netgear r700 router and it's been great so far except i can't play League of Legends properly. It stops uploading to the server since i can still see what is happening in real time minus my own actions in the game. Ping doesn't increase and it's only on League of Legends. I can...

    Crucial Reveals Memory for New Mac Pros

    Reminds me of the Mac specific 7950's that came in white and had a reference cooler and had a $250 premium on the after market cooled ones.

    Thoughts on PC from AVADirect for ~$1,400?

    1. You can do it yourself and save $200. If two hours of your time is worth more than $200 than buy it. 2. It can handle 1440p high at most triple A titles out currently. In the future you'd have to turn settings down. 3. No sorry

    Samsung Announces 105-inch Curved UHD TV for CES

    Cinema displays are not curved. Seriously, how do you think the guy sitting in the far left/right side will be able to watch the movie properly?
