Dear Mr Roshan Ashraf Shaikh, I'm sorry but what you describe happens for a while in Windows 10. I don't know in wich update that happened but every time I make a new installation in Windows 10, I have to install manually the SMB 1.1 services. I have a D-LINK NAS enclosure (DNS-323) and I...

Now that's the real truth here, to much more hardware to maintain the growth rate for making the stock holders happy! Spectrum had 48k and Amiga/520ST had 1Mb (after the expansion board) and the games where awesome. Of course they don't look like the ones we have now but ONE FLOPPY DISK OF...

What about games that DON'T use the 8Gb of RAM in my GPU at 1080p AND STILL stutter? And I blame developers because if they know all that why don't they optimize the game for PC? That is a lie. In the US 41% prefer console and 37% use PC, not that big of a difference. And go see the statistics...

To you I just say this: watch Control or Red Dead 2 in PS5 and then in a moderate PC (I have a 6650XT - low mid range) so you can see the difference of the Ultra of a PC and PS5... But don't watch on a TV, watch it on a monitor, so you can see the real difference in quality and in speed (Control...

I REALLY would like to know the performance with RAID 0, 1, 10, 01 and 5

Do you change your graphic card yearly? To me it's 3 in 3 at most, so a clean install is already needed. I've been doing this since windows 3.11, at the time there where no good driver removers, format c:. And now with pens it's so fast I don't waste my time with other methods. Yes, you may lose...

Never once I made a system restore that works (in all version of windows)... in the end it's all format c:

Hello!!! Great article but I believe it's better to just clean install.

13L that's for 2, max 3 fish and cold water fish... Maybe a Beta...

I know the readers want to read stuff like this but it's this kind of article that makes GPU's vanish from the stores. It's sad...

Dear Tom's Hardware members, I made a Ghost Recon Wildlands benchmark with ultra settings 1080p (txaa, hbao+, etc - the default ultra) using both the in game results and the MSI Afterburner results and came to the conclusion that my CPU is NOT the bottleneck. All four cores stayed bellow 92%...

I'm very afraid of buying second hand but I found one i7-3770 for 80 pounds (+-100 euros)... One thing I forgot to mention: if I upgrade my main computer with a new CPU I also upgrade my HTPC (also socket 1155) because it as a core duo. The best solutions seems to buy a good cooler and overclock...

Ok let's say B1? Can I achieve on high settings 75+ frames with a i7-3770? House temperatures are more around 30 Cº. In Portugal we are used to it... Most houses don't have AC. And we do nap but not as much as the spanish. Also 50 is only in two very polluted spots in Lisbon and in the area of...

Thank you all for your very helpful answers but I still have a doubt: most of the new games are saying that my CPU is on the minimum side of things. Having a RX 580 paired with my i5-2500K (just turbo no overclocking) can I achieve 100+ fps with mixed ultra/high settings in current games? Is it...

Hello!!! I have a Asustek P8P67 Pro 3.1 witch is compatible with all Socket 1155 CPU's. I have a i5 2500K paired with a AMD RX 580 and I don't have money to buy a new system. In the CPU Hierarchy 2019 my i5-2500K is on the same tier of i5-3350p, i7- 2600 and i7 - 2600K. My question is this...
