    Question Latency and graphical issues in certain games ?

    I could try to hook up the PC to another TV screen, or try and see if I can output to my laptop. I will report back if that changes things.

    Question Latency and graphical issues in certain games ?

    Yes I used DDU before I installed the card, and I have used it after installation as well to see if that would fix it - but to no avail. I have the most up to date drivers for my current card from Nvidia. The GTX970 I currently have worked perfectly fine in my friends computer, and it works...

    Question Latency and graphical issues in certain games ?

    So I have ran into a very peculiar issue with my computer. In many games whenever I try to run them in full screen, the quality gets drastically worse and the screen gets a yellow tint. I already had this issue back in 2015 with my R9 290, but I assumed it was related to that card...

    R9 290 possibly dead

    OK good news time. I decided that since i don't have anything else to try, i used a heatgun to reflow the GPU. It actually worked, and now im extremely happy. Ill update once i have used the card for a while.

    R9 290 possibly dead

    Ok, a little update. I took the card to a friend of mine to test in his PC, and the problem became quite clear, but the solution is still missing.

    R9 290 possibly dead

    Hey, I have had a Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X graphics card for around 3 years now and the card used to be really good. One day around 3 months ago I think i ran into a blue screen and after restarting, i only get boot and Windows logo and then just black. When i get drivers for the card and Windows...

    Making an old network card work

    Unfortunately the compatibility mode doesn't work either. Id love to make the drivers work though, and not buy a new card just to replace an already working one.

    Making an old network card work

    Hello, we just recently got a second internet at our house and today i decided to get it working. I have 1 on board LAN port, and since i will be changing between the 2 connections quite often, i figured i should install another network card (since i had one in an old pc). I installed the card...

Im just wondering, if...
