    News How Much CPU Does the GeForce RTX 3080 Need?

    The Core i9-10900K, and Core i3-10100 are still using Gen 3 PCI-e with the Z490 chipset. But older CPU's are limited not only by speed and efficiency but via the features they support and can use. Older CPU's will never support Gen 4 or even Gen 3 depending on how far you go back hence its...

    confusing question to be asked

    You could also just buy broken GPU's I saw a few burnt out 1080Ti's that were bought used and people were selling them on ebay because they couldn't get them warrantied repaired. Not every company does guest rma's like EVGA. Many you need a receipt even if you are within the manufacture time...

    UHD 60hz or 1440p 144hz monitor?

    What gpu's do you currently have and what make and model do you have on your current monitor? Just because you have a UHD monitor that doesnt mean anything. All Panels, and boards arent created equal. I've used a couple different ROG VG series monitors through the years, and within the past 8...

    Concerns About PSU

    Quick question you said, "I have a Thermaltake TR2 500 watt power supply (which does work) except when it is in the case and connected to all of the components." So does it work when you don't have all of the components plugged up? If so like the guy said above have you tried running this...

    Can't choose the right motherboard

    I'm with you the MSI has cooler features. here is the thing about picking one neat feature that has the possibility to be used in the future vs getting a few features you could possibly use now. There is the possibility you won't use either of those features. When looking at motherboards the...

    Building pc for first time and have now confused myself with the form factors

    Thats a double slot card. I find it very hard to believe you have a case that supports an atx motherboard but doesnt have a second slot next to the PCI-Express cutout on the back panel. That card is made to fit in two panels not one panel on the cutout in the back. Here is a picture of a dual...

    Does plugging in an HDMI cable into my HDTV with an xbox 360 give it true 1080p?

    The cable doesn't give you anything beyond a means for the data to reach the tv from the source being the Xbox 360. HDMI cables are capable of showing up to 4k and lower resolutions. But here is the deal the majority of the games on xbox 360 arent 1080p when I say the majority we are talking...
