    [SOLVED] Is the 2070 Super sufficient for 1080p gaming AND recording flawlessly at the same time?

    I am fully aware that the 2070 super is more than overkill for pretty much any game if you're only running at 1080p, but I also want to be able to record that gameplay at a flawless 1080p 60fps. The quality of the recording is absolutely paramount for me, I want to be able to record footage at...

    [SOLVED] How do amd vs nvidia cards compare when it comes to recording?

    I'm looking to upgrade my gpu with the purpose of recording gameplay footage, and theres a lot of noise being made about nvidia's turing nvenc encoder. First I have a stupid question which is, does that encoder work for recording as well as streaming, because all the information I've seen about...

    [SOLVED] Anyone have numbers on the like, price-to-size ratio of different hard drive capacities?

    For example, 4 4tb drives versus 2 8tb drives. I couldn't find any info about what size of hard drive (all other factors being equal: manufacturer, type, brand etc) has the most value in terms of price to storage capacity ratio. Or are hard drives meticulously priced to maintain the same ratio...

    [SOLVED] Are jewel cases/dvd cases the best way to store bd-r's?

    Yes, these ideally wouldn't be accessed unless the hard drive with the working copies fails. By felt do you mean this kind of material: https://www.amazon.com/2-Disc-Fabric-Lined-Sleeves-CRY-2SVWH-Carrier/dp/B003TP80RI/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=2+Ring+Cd+Binder&qid=1582963509&sr=8-5 or something else?

    [SOLVED] Are jewel cases/dvd cases the best way to store bd-r's?

    this question isn't about hard drives, but hopefully "storage" is still the right section for this question. I'm looking to backup my data to bd-r's for archival, and I'm trying to find the safest way to physically store them, with the intention to avoid scratches or other wear and tear. I've...

    [SOLVED] RX 590 or GTX 1660? (or something else?)

    I'm currently using a gtx 1060 3gb and I want to upgrade to one of these (I'm in canada so prices are higher and I dont make enough money for the rx 5700 to be an option). I've looked at plenty of benchmarks and they seem to be pretty much equivalent, sometimes one is better, sometimes the other...

    If I buy a legitimate copy of Windows 7, can I be sure Microsoft will acknowledge its product key?

    I want to buy a real, legal, unused box copy of windows 7. I know they are expensive, but piracy is unsafe and limits how much troubleshooting you can do. I'm not asking for instructions on how to pirate windows 7 safely. What I want to know is, if I buy a legitimate box of windows 7, can I be...
