    Is my graphics card dying?

    Sinec yesterday, when watching videos or gifs I get the videos with black blocks of pixelation all over it, however when I go back to the start and replay it there are no problems. When I play videogames it runs fine, no perceivable problems.

    Can CX430 PSU power a gtx 760 just for dual monitor setup (no gaming).

    I am going to university soon so I plan to put my gtx 760 in my parents computer so they can use two monitors since I will not be using my one. There is a CX430 (I understand they are not great), the processor is an i5 4670. Custom built (by me) and they use linux (didn't bother getting windows).

    Use AMD GPU with Nvidia GPU (for physX)?

    I have a GTX 760 in my PC. With the RX 480 coming out I thought to maybe upgrade. I dislike the notion of just throwing away the GTX 760. Is it possible to run them together (not SLI or Crossfire) and have the nvidia work on physX? (I also work with video editing, 3d modeling, etc. Any...

    Youtube is slow, downloads are slow (not all day though)

    My average internet speed is around 500KBps download and 50KBps upload (using speed test). However between 10AM and 12PM nearly 95% of downloads occur at around 5KBps (the rest of the time it works adequately as long as I start downloading during the night). Similarly Youtube works fine up until...

    CPU cooling problem (i5 4670K w/ Noctua NH-D14)

    I got a Noctua cooler during the winter holiday, (for my CPU). I installed it (note: my system RAM is slightly in the way so I had to move the metal grill thing just above them. Meaning it is not working at its full potential). The temperatures back then were around 28-35 degrees celsius (using...

    CPU onboard graphics 2nd monitor

    I was thinking of getting a 2nd monitor for my PC, and I was wondering if I plug it into my cpu display input thing would the cpu performance decrease at all by using the onboard graphics of my cpu? P.S. My cpu is i5 4670k (no OC) if you were wondering, and i'm thinking of getting a 1440x900...

    Prebuilt PCs that can run Arma 3

    I'm sorry this is not a pre-built pc, I don't believe in gaming with a pre-built pc, but you could learn to build one (which is always a nice ability to have, or you can look for one) with these specs which would run well (don't expect nice performance on Ultra however) -...

    Use 2 graphics Cards Seperately?

    I have a GTX 760 in my computer, which is nice for gaming. However I was rendering a cup filling with water for 20 seconds (on blender, my first project) and it took about an hour. Would it be possible to get an Nvidia Quadro X000 and stick in the second gpu slot, (note: I stupidly got a MOBO...
