Solving the world's problems one at a time. Good work!

"With that said, I'm also happy to confirm that the next generation 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (codenamed "Rocket Lake") is coming in the first quarter of 2021 ..." "That means we'll see the 11th-gen Rocket Lake processors land in the first quarter of 2021 " Thanks for the translation.

Your card has HDMI and the tech was correct. HDMI/DisplayPorts usually have black plugs in them to protect the ports from debris. See the 4 black rectangular caps above your DVI port and the vent? The two on the right side in your photo are the HDMI ports. Take off one of those black caps...

Don't worry about 480 vs 290X. It's the same driver. Give this site a try which has download links at the bottom for 17.2.1: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-radeon-software-crimson-relive-17-2-1-driver-download.html

When I need to obliterate a driver and go with an earlier driver, I first download the earlier driver, then install and run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and restart. After restart you'll be without video drivers and just the crappy stock VGA drivers. Then install your pre-17.3 driver you...

Thank you for that link. It was very in-depth regarding interplay betwixt g-sync and v-sync on both low and high sides of the fps meter. Just the information I was looking for :)

Hello friends! I'm not really understanding how G-Sync is interacting with V-Sync and Nvidia's adaptive sync (if at all) during gaming. For example I have a 6950X CPU, 128gb RAM, a 1080ti and I have my 1440p g-sync monitor. And obviously 144fps is always fantastic, but even the lower fps in...

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't read the details very well. I just glanced over 7's and k's and started thinking i7 and 4770k and the like. The important thing here is there is clearly no solution...

Has the Intel Turbo Boost driver for windows 10 been installed? Might want to verify what it's boosting the clock to. In addition, within the turbo boost application set the minimum CPU usage threshold to something such as 99% to ensure the cpu frequency isn't being boosted until 100% load as...

While not to your extreme, I did have a CPU issue after installing Windows 10. After investigation, turns out Windows 8 and Windows 10 both have the runtime broker. Is that showing up in the resource monitor as using the CPU? This can be an absolute CPU hog in Windows 10 (but not Windows 8)...

The only other thing I can think of is to download Defraggler, then try a defrag during the boot up. Download it, then when you run it, go to settings and select the Boot Time Defrag option. Then restart the computer. If that doesn't resolve it, then I'm afraid I'm all out of ideas.

Time to vanquish my power glove wearing nemesis through superior Super Mario Brothers 3 skills. Even though I'll be running away from home to do it, maybe it will help my irritable father realize the error of his ways and come to know family is what's most important.

You will have to temporarily move some files off the drive. Basically a defrag takes file fragments from one place and relocates them in another so every file is as contiguous as possible. In your case, the hard drive is so full there is nowhere for the defrag to move the file fragments. So...

fml. Here I was getting ready to snuggle in for an evening of running sets of 63 instructions using BH and EAX registers on both logical cores of my same physical processor.
