    Huge fps drop on all games consistent

    My framerate issue is fixed. So back to 200+ fps on csgo and around 80-100 on rust with my settings. He is suffering some issues and getting less performance than his r9 290 with a gtx 1080 which is either a windows 10 compatibility issue or also a driver issue. For reference I have a 'ghetto'...

    Huge fps drop on all games consistent

    The issue started with my r9 280, test fitted my brothers r9 290 to see if that was the problem. Nothing changed to refreshed the drivers and left the r9 290 in he got a 1080 and is getting quite low fps with that so not sure what's with that. TL;DR R9 290 gigabyte windforce edition

    Although this would be nice, I have a hyper 212 cooler on my 4460, which never runs hot, around 40-60 deg in game. I have been playing csgo over a year on this setup with no issues, and recently clocked up a fair few hours on rust usually around 60-80 fps with my settings on there. But with...

    Continuous beep coming what seems like motherboard? CPU fried?

    Googled a bit and came up with this. "1 short ------------ DRAM refresh failure -----The programmable interrupt timer or programmable interrupt controller has probably failed" I have switched the ram slots and that didnt do anything, I'll try one stick at a time and see if that works. I have...

    How much is my rig worth?

    Probably about 600 quid to the right buyer but start it at like 675 and expect to be bargained down. Not sure how the used pc market is in the UK but yea

    Should i upgrade my CPU or GPU?

    Depends where you live, and what you're looking for. I'd assume mainly gaming? And with that price range you will be getting similar performance to the 760, consider saving up unless you're only after a new card because you're 760 is dead or w/e

    What is currently the best 980 on the market?

    No thats fine, good actually. If your cpu is constantly at 100% that means your cpu isnt strong enough hence being pushed to its limit. Nothing to worry about - J
