    I pretend to clone HDD before first boot. Any advice?

    Dear fellows, I've bought a Thinkpad L580 for my nephew. Ordering the L580 with an SSD was way much pricier (+270€) so I decided to configure it with a 500 GB HDD instead. When I receive the laptop I pretend to change its HDD for either a Crucial MX500 or a Samsung 860 Evo, before first boot...

    GTX 1060 6GB fans won't stop spinning

    Dear fellows, A few months ago I bought a Palit GTX 1060 6GB (NE51060015J9-1061D). It works very well overall but, despite what I've read regarding fans stopping when the card is idle, my graphics card's fans never stop spinning. I've checked temperatures and drivers are up-to-date. Is it...

    Is image quality the same with low and high-end cards?

    They affirm that you won't see the same efects, shadows, reflections when on ultra (to sum up, the same quality) if you are using a 7750 than if you're using 7870. Like if the 7750 wasn't able to show the ultra's radiant beauty of a game. Thank you very much for your answer and sorry for...

    Is image quality the same with low and high-end cards?

    I've recently read that image quality in low-end graphics cards (lets say 7750) is worse than that of high-end cards (7870), when settings are set to high in a given videogame, despite using same system specs, same resolution and obviating framerate. I would appreciate someone to confirm this...

    Dear folks, I'm looking for a card to allow me to play Guild Wars 2 (to be released soon) @ 1440x900. Due to the high temperature in my city (37º C / 98º F today) I must choose a low tdp card as far as possible. Therefore temperature is my main concern. Here are my specs: i5 2400 (Sandy Bridge...
