    [SOLVED] What's problem with my R9 280 (video attachment inside) ?

    Thank you everyone who responded. I've decided to retire the TDP monster R9 280. Actually managed to find a 250$ GTX 1650 OC for wife's PC. So we can play our favourite titles in 1080p ultra 60fps without fear :) In the shortage, this is an amazing deal for my country. They usually sell for 400$...

    [SOLVED] What's problem with my R9 280 (video attachment inside) ?

    Hi mates, I've had an old R9 280 laying around in an anti-static bag with few moisture-absorbing silica gels. Wife's laptop computer has recently died due to a liquid contact so I've built a desktop for her with my old PC's used parts. She likes to play games like RUST, Assassin's Creed, Forza...

    [SOLVED] 2x16GB or 4x8GB ? Confused.

    Thank you! It was an insightful article. A 32gb kit (2x16) recommendation would be great. In that case, my CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600

    [SOLVED] 2x16GB or 4x8GB ? Confused.

    I wasn't going to mix, If i were to grab 2 more 8gb sticks, they would be exactly the same as the ones installed. What would you say if this is the case?

    [SOLVED] Radeon RX 570 bottlenecked by my Ryzen 5 2600, upgrade my 720p monitor or get a new GPU?

    RX 570 will NEVER be bottlenecked by a Ryzen 5 2600 For what it's worth, Ryzen 2600 would be bottlenecked by RX 570 if they were to work together to finish a task. It seems like there's a malware in your system, or your graphics card has physical degredation failures Also your 400W psu could...
