    Question 4K monitor upgrade: 27'' or 32''?

    I wasn't aware of this. I don't understand something: with the same 4K resolution, does the available screen space (I believe the term is "real screen estate") change between 27 and 32 inches? In other words, if I place two windows side by side, what will the difference be? I’m not sure if this...

    Question 4K monitor upgrade: 27'' or 32''?

    Hey everyone! I’m considering upgrading my monitor and I’m torn between a 27” and a 32” screen. I’ll be also upgrading from 1440p to 4k. I’d love some advice on picking the right monitor, and I'm also looking for answers to my questions. My budget is ~600€, but I can spend a little extra if...

    Question [GTX 1080 FE] Black screen and 100% GPU fan usage during gaming

    I got curious about this comment and found this article: https://www.anandtech.com/show/10325/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-and-1070-founders-edition-review/30 It seems like 80/82 °C is not that weird for a single fan founders edition?

    Question [GTX 1080 FE] Black screen and 100% GPU fan usage during gaming

    I put the usual amount I put on CPU as well, but I can do the repasting again even if I'm not sure that's the main problem. I'd expect the card to reach that temperature after at least some minutes of gaming, but the card crashes after like 3/4 seconds while the initial logos are still...

    Question [GTX 1080 FE] Black screen and 100% GPU fan usage during gaming

    Hello, first of all, thank you for finding the time to go through the dump file! As I said in my post, the DDU procedure has been already made, three times now, without success. As for the other questions: yes, I was playing when the dump was generated, it was immediately after it happened...

    Question [GTX 1080 FE] Black screen and 100% GPU fan usage during gaming

    I never played with clock settings, do I just use a software like MSI afterburner? Also, yesterday the video card crashed immediately after I run the "render test" from GPU-Z. I activated the debug option in Nvidia Control Panel, as suggested by an Nvidia assistant who I talked with, but this...

    Question [GTX 1080 FE] Black screen and 100% GPU fan usage during gaming

    Hm I don't think I understood your first message then. I thought you meant that, when the crash happens, the driver of the GPU reverts to the stock one: does this mean that the driver goes back to a previous version? Anyway, if it's a driver issue and DDU didn't work, what else can I try?

    Question [GTX 1080 FE] Black screen and 100% GPU fan usage during gaming

    Between 78° C and 81° C I think I checked this, when I open GeForce Experience the driver is always the same (511.79); unless I need to check the version from Control Panel or another place

    Question [GTX 1080 FE] Black screen and 100% GPU fan usage during gaming

    Hi all. I bought a used video card (GTX 1080 FE) a few days ago from a friend of mine; after cleaning it from dust and re-applying the thermal paste, I did a couple of benchmarks to test its proper functioning (since it hadn't been used for a couple of months), without any problem. Today...
