    MSI GTX 970 struggling to run Hearthstone?

    Hey guys, I just got the MSI GTX 970 and for some reason it isn't running Hearthstone as smoothly as my 750 TI. The game is a little choppy. My temperatures while playing are around 55-60C and my GPU usage never goes above 30%. For CS:GO, my GPU usage increases to close to 90% at times so I...

    MSI GTX 970 Performing worse than my 750 TI

    Just checked my Usage and I can't seem to get above 25% GPU usage. Is there a reason why it's so low?

    MSI GTX 970 Performing worse than my 750 TI

    Hey guys, I bought an MSI GTX 970 yesterday and installed the latest graphics drivers but I was wondering why my overall gaming performance has dropped compared to my 750 TI. I don't play graphically intensive games (Hearthstone and CS:GO only atm), but I decided to upgrade because for whatever...

    Windows Updates taking unusually long

    Hey guys, I've had an issue with my PC performance and updates with Windows. About 2 weeks ago, I decided to update to Windows 10, and the process took 8 hours (I had 250gb of files transferred). I have a PNY 120GB SSD that my OS is installed on, and a i7 4770. A day or two later, I was still...

    MSI GTX 970 Not Turning Monitor On

    UPDATE #2: Still in sleep mode with VGA and DVI-I Single Link. Is there a chance I messed up with the pins? I currently have 1 cable plugged into the 8-PIN PCI-E slot in my PSU, and the cable itself has another 8-PIN which is plugged into my GPU and a 6+2-PIN that is plugged into the 6-PIN...

    MSI GTX 970 Not Turning Monitor On

    I bought a GTX 970 today and just connected it with its 8 and 6 pins. I noticed it came with a DVI to VGA adapter and was wondering if I had to use VGA or HDMI with the card? I currently use a DVI-D connector (2 DVI ends) for my 750 TI and when I plugged the DVI-D into the GTX 970, the monitor...

    My PC is basically unresponsive at this point. Having a hard time even opening my google chrome download, which is the first thing I attempted to do.

    Windows 10 Clean Installation Taking Forever

    It actually JUST finished so the entire process took roughly 9 hours. Right now theres nothing on my PC but its running VERY slowly. Took about 10 minutes for Microsoft Edge to load up, and still not running 100% smoothly.

    Windows 10 Clean Installation Taking Forever

    Hey guys, I upgraded from Windows 7 about a week ago and the process took roughly 5 hours. I have about 250gb of stuff on my PC and the first 1/3 of the upgrade is what took the bulk of the time to transfer all the files. Either way, I thought 5 hours was quite a long time considering I have a...

    Hey guys, I don't know much at all about PSU's and just wanted to make sure this is compatible with my system before I purchase. Here is the PSU I am looking at purchasing (Rosewill Capstone G750W)...

    Frames skipping occasionally

    Is there a way for me to check if it could be a disk issue?

    Frames skipping occasionally

    It's not a screen tearing issue. I've had that problem before and this is just like a microstutter type problem. Happens very infrequently but my frame essentially "skips" to the next one. It's basically a 1/10th of a second freeze if even that. I guess I forgot to mention I tried messing...

    Frames skipping occasionally

    Howdy, I recently just started getting this weird frame issue where while I'm gaming (and possibly while streaming but can't tell). I randomly get "skipped" frames/micro-lag for less than half a second even while I'm getting 300+ frames normally. If these frame skips occur it will be most often...
