I've been listening to a lot of comments about Windows 11, Windows 11+ and AI. And I surprise myself as being in the class that hasn't been paying attention. I'm still a big box PC user with Window 10 pro and very happy with it. But I've been studying Windows 11 and I can't say I'm optimistic...

I WANT ONE!!! I 'm a 74 1/2 yr. old gamer. I need every advanage I can get. Fast GPU cards, monitors, big cpu with low latency memory, I need the best stuff win FPS mulitplayer. I first realized the hyper poling mice do help my old eyes stay competitive with kids. My scores in FPS aren't...

Wow. That's too bad. I wish I had words of advice or information on how to recover from such episodes of life but I have none. I know sometimes wrong hapens and the loses are absolutely hair pulling. Worse, is when you entrusted yourself with other people's personal effects or your own such as...

Had the same problem happen in late October. My EVGA 3080ti lost it's Display Ports in a flicker and quit. Black screen. Plugged into HDMI 2.0, it works fine. After diganosing the problem it was my gpu, that was disappointing. I was using MSI Afterburner for a few years, too. I started looking...

Without popping open the gpu to check the memeory count, check all the board stickers and labeling. you may have gotten a 3070. Though that's not a bad card, it's not what you paid for.

Hey! Any Battlefield 3 players still around? My friend and I've been trying to get a BF3 game site to work. The website is called 'Venice Unleashed' and they do the older Bartlefield games (2, 3, Bad Company and 4) with bots. You can play teams with/against bots with friends or by yourself...

I'm curious what the experience would be with a 165hz monitor for $120.00 from AOC. I bought into the 'cheap' monitor buys going with ViewSonic VX2418C ($130.00) and being humorously disappointed with the reality, I sorta laughed it off, "Oh well, you get what you pay for." Muddy details (even...

Buy a cooler instead. Thermalright Peerless Assassin. Cheap. Will do you well.

Hum-m-m. I don't have a clue. Usually AMD is AMD. What's your hardware? PSU, CPU, ram, motherboard, etc.. Read the box. if it matches what the original specs are of a AMD RX580 pcie 3, it should be good to go unless your machine isn't made for it (to fit a pice 3 slot). Research the mfg if it...

I have a Dell Studio XPS 435mt to sell. Bought it new in 2009. I stopped using it in 2020. Last upgrade I installed was a 1tb SSD. Then I thought, even though it has an i7, it's a first gen 920, who's gonna want it? Along with keeping an old computer comes obsolesence. It has an EVGA 970sc...

To my knowledge, there are only two rtx 3080 cards. A 10gb and 12 gb..

Did you right click your Windows desktop> go to display settings and configure your monitor settings? Look for Advance Display Settings. Does your monitor have display (resolution) setting modes to configure your new GPU? Just asking because I sometimes forget Windows needs this information and...

Hey! I had a weird "DUH" moment. I plugged an HDMI 2.0 cord in since my monitor has a port for it and it worked! Picture is a nice, clear (at least) 120hz. Haven't check it for 144hz @ 1080 x 1920. But at least I have HDMI 2.0. 2x 60hz. If I had a 240hz monitor I can just buy a HDMI 2.1 cable...

Imagine a super conductor to power all our AI replacements. They'll round us up to be crash test dummies in rat-rods. 'bot war games'. Heh, heh, heh.

Judging from what you just said, I'd hate to say yes. Last week, my GPU did a similar thing. It blinked twice and went black then came back on sorta skitzy. It's now hobbling along, everyone in games is unpleasantly green. I clearly blew something. I'm looking around Tom's for anyone's who's...
