    Question Gaming Speakers and Soundcards - are soundcards useless now?

    I used to run 7.1 speakers on my system and they plugged in easily to my Soundblaster z card. After changing my room setup I now run Bose Companion 5 speakers which connect to the PC via USB and bypass the Soundblaster z card. I thought I wanted to get news speakers so I could use the bose...

    Question $330 Pc gaming monitor

    Interested as well also looking at the AOC brands but 32" curved, from what I read they are good value for the money but don't expect the best picture or ghost free gaming, while some reports minor issues many don't. Based on the reviews they seems to be a good choice for what they are.

    Question Upgrade Path Help Requested

    Hi Djoza, I'm actually eyeing the AOC 32" curved displays and using 3 to replace the ones I've got now. They are 144 hz but I can't imagine running much triple-screen surround that going to get to 144 fps at least until new hardware comes out (3090 ti maybe). I don't run these as...

    3930K OC don't understand results

    3930K OC don't understand results

    Not sure I understand the FPS drop below, is the CPU cycling down? Is it safe to up the vcore voltage past 1.40 to say 1.60, would that help with the higher clock @ 4.3ghz? Prime95 raised the temps well beyond what I'm seeing in game benchmarks so far so temps I assume not too big of a...

    Upgrading from 4GB GTX 670's in SLI

    Running triple screens in 3072x768 resolution, to date the pair of 4gb GTX 670's EVGA SC have taken every game I've thrown at it with maxed settings, ftp can sometimes drop in the 20's on some game but they have been power houses of cards the last few years. Upgrading to a EVGA 1080 SC and...

    Lenovo Z710 for 850.00 good laptop or no?

    Thanks guys for the advice, I'm going to take it and get a y500 or y510p @ 15". With the price point being the same it's obviously the more powerful and better choice despite the screen size. Much appreciated.
