    Disc against digital download

    The game's ability to run well is dependent on the hardware of the computer, not the media it is run from.

    How to deal with video game addiction?

    Is he truly addicted or do you feel he is addicted? I'm not in your shoes, not in your everyday life, but I can offer my experience. I started gaming at 14 years old - World of Warcraft. I had a laptop and was pretty much given some nice liberties and I could game from the moment I got off...

    WoW performance issues!

    Do you play on a laptop by chance? Usually a sign of overheating/component dying. Specifications of system?

    Mass Effect Andromeda SLI VRAM crash error

    Hm, odd. Are you playing on Ultra? 1080p? 1440p? 4k? ME:A was a bit rushed out and perhaps they haven't done any optimizations/testings for SLI setups. My knowledge on Nvidia drivers are non-existent, but I see they have lately released a driver for SLI support in Andromeda if I'm correct. Are...

    Bottlenecking or not please help me ?

    Hm, I don't suspect a bottleneck to be honest. The 8350 can handle an RX 480 Nitro+ OC 8G just fine without bottlenecks on either side. The 290 is lesser performing and the 8370 higher performing than an 8350. I also have to highly disagree that the FX is not a usuable CPU in 2017. I'm currently...

    Any Ideas how to lower the price on my build?

    Performance and quality for me means only get the most basic components to get the computer to start up and do what you bought it to do. - Skip the SSD if you can. (~40$) - The motherboard is costly for the brand and features. Shop for the motherboard that you need, not with fluff you might...

    I need immediately assistance!

    You most likely won't get your IP to change by turning off the router. Sometimes you can. Call up your ISP if you suspect being DDoSed, you'll probably have to ask for an upper level technician, see if you can request a new IP address. THey also should be able to see what IP is attacking you.

    WoW and VRAM

    It's possible. What games are you/will you plan to play for the next year or so? Some games go well over 3GB and if it does you will see some deprecation of gameplay. If the games you have are currently what you'll be playing, boot up GPU-Z and while playing the games you'll play, you'll get a...

    Xbox 360 Wired Controller Win 10 Setup Issues.

    Hi Goliht - I'm working off of my XBOX One controller knowledge here. As I've heard the wireless charging cable needs a battery or a pack in order for it to work. It won't work without it. The same is for my controller - it cannot play over the charge cable alone. If if is the original wired...

    Is this craigslist ad a scam

    It could be anything to be frank. And a post is not very revealing of if it's a scam until you get into the physical situation (to my experience). It could be the most professional post and you find yourself in a dilemma. Good deals may not be worth the risk and craigslist can be risky in a lot...

    PC freezes after long stretches of gaming

    Will update this thread when I receive and test it :) ---------- Update: ---------- After replacing the PSU, I'm happy to say I'm surprised and optimistic. I noticed many differences. Today I was able to do some good comparative readings. On idle, the CX vCore would fluctuate between ,8V ~...

    PC freezes after long stretches of gaming

    Hm I don't quite know what is major, but at 100% load of all core, the VCore would plumment from its idle of ~1.4V and go down to ~1.2V and the voltage would dance in that range, never going lower or higher than 1.2V. It seemed to have a pattern to go from 1.26 - 1.28, and then back down, and...

    PC freeze after long stretches of game play

    Unfortunately I can't! My lack of cleaning my PSU have granted me a nice layer of immovable dust-grime. :D I have gone ahead and ordered a new PSU unit, EVGA SuperNova 750W G2 as it seems it's needed anyway. CX series doesn't seem to be a quality product as I've researched and heard. Strangely...

    PC freezes after long stretches of gaming

    I did Furmark and Heaven and 3DMark and had well results and had normal load temperatures. With HWInfo I had seen something before that had made me worry and I saw it recently again - some of the ' VIN ' , specifically VIN 4 and VIN 6 would go to 0.00V. Is this a sign? I don't think voltage...
