So I bought a 4k monitor a few days ago expecting it to be as easy as plugging it in and using it right away... unfortunately my hopes were too high. Plugging it into my laptop using HDMI it ran at 4k 30hz and i could not find a way to increase the refresh rate. I bought a usbc to usbc cable...

That's not exactly my issue. I'm wondering if there's a way to level out CPU and gpu usage so they're both around 100%, regardless of if it's a laptop or a desktop.

So I recently bought a new ASUS gaming laptop, and I noticed that when I play games (namely RDR2) my CPU utilization is at a constant 100% while my GPU utilization hovers around 50-60%. It's such a shame to see my nice 1660ti wasted like this, especially as I could have opted for a 1050 and it...

Update: I bought a usb c hub which has hdmi and VGA but only ONE of those would work at a time. It did not allow me to us both hdmi and vga at the same time. Buyer beware!

I've seen USB-c hubs that have 10-15 ports. If I bought one and I had 2 HDMI, 3 usb, and ethernet all connected at the same time, would I suffer any performance loss? How many devices can I have so that they all fully work?

The GPU architecture only needs to be the same, so any GPUs from the same line will work together (some one who tested it out https://wccftech.com/rx-480-rx-470-crossfire/ ). I am running an i56600k with an EVGA 650w Gold PSU and a Gigabyte motherboard (can't remember what model, but it supports...

I have an rx 470 in my system at the moment and I am considering buying a refurbished rx480 to run in crossfire with it. Everything in my PC is compatible, I am just wondering if it is a good idea. I have heard many people talk about how crossfire is a terrible idea and should be avoided, but I...

Hey guys, I am not yet actually looking to sell my PC, but i was wondering how much you think I could get for it if I were to sell it. It is about 3 years old. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/t2ZfzY Just wondering, might buy a laptop for university next year so I was curious as to how much i...

My fairly new pc (1 1/2 years old) suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. It is connected to the router through Ethernet. I have tried unplugging it on both ends, restarting the router, and restarting the pc and nothing has changed. Two other PC's are plugged into the same router and they...

Hi, I wanted to ask some people a question; I owned a pair of logitech g430 over ear headphones and noticed that my ears would get hot and uncomfortable after having them on for more than an hour. The ear pads on these headphones were cloth. When it was time to upgrade I bought the sennheiser...

Hello, I am looking to buy a new headset for under $200 CAD which means about $150 American. It needs to have a mic or if anybody knows an external mic for under $20 let me know. I would prefer to have true stereo sound, I'm no audiophile but I know that most offer to not have amplified bass...

Hello, I want to buy a new headset for gaming and video watching. I am aware that the new Stinger is cheaper, but is the Cloud 2 better than the Stinger. Like, hypothetically, if they were the same price, which would you buy? Which headset has the best audio? Which has the best and something...

I am about to buy the new RX470 Red Devil from PowerColor, on the card there is a switch that changes the clock of the GPU. The switch changes it from the normal 1220MHz to the ultimate OC 1270MHz. I was wondering if it is safe to always have ultimate OC mode always on, even when i'm just web...
