Hey guys, I recently purchased a brand new Saphire Nitro+ RX 5700XT about a month ago. Today I went to turn on my PC and it initially booted with a small white dot on the screen and a 'VGA' LED on my mobo. After a few failed boots it completely stopped showing signal. View...

Make sure monitor is on the correct input setting?

Yeah IPS panels are much better than TN panels

The Acer Nitro is a better choice because of the IPS panel. You'll have better visuals and better viewing angles. No idea why the AOC is much more expensive...

Simply: Don't overclock. It will add little performance gains (like 2 to 3 fps), increase heat consumption and the card will be less stable.

I agree with this but you should get a used GTX 1070 (Kijiji/Craigslist)

I don't think it's a bottleneck man, just because it's not showing 100% usage, doesn't mean it's being bottleneck. It really just means your not maxing out the CPU/GPU. Which is a good thing.

tbh, your probably better off getting used parts if your on a tight budget. DDR3 RAM is quite old at this point and I would look for something that supports DDR4. 8GB is perfect, but I would AT LEAST try to get the ti version of the gtx 1050. Shop around on Kijiji or Craigslist and try to find...

Okay so everyone here pretty much agrees that the 660P will be a drastic improvement over the old clunky hard drive and the Kingston drives are bad quailty. I'll order up the 660P drive then. Thanks for all the help guys

ah sorry about that

I have a Western Digital Blue and I have a Asus Z-270-A mobo and it has 2 NVMe slots. By ancient I mean't because its slow and old technology

Well that's kinda why I'm asking. I don't know much about this -----... For the 660p it's said to be really fast for the beginning of file transfers but then dip down slower than a hard drive after that... But idk if that effects game loading times. The

Alright. Like the other guy said I've heard it's not the best NVMe but didn't know if that meant it was better than the SSD or worse

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade from my ancient 1TB HDD but I don't have an insane budget. I've stumbled across an Intel 660P 1TB for $159.99 (CAD) and a Kingston 960GB SSD for $139.99. I honestly don't know much about these newer NVMe drives and was looking for some help if possible. All I really...
