My specs: A-10 6800k Quad-Core processor 8GB DDR3 RAM I was using a 600W Corsair PSU with a GTX 960, but yesterday it the PSU blew a fuse for reasons I don't know yet (might have been due to a severe storm causing a power surge), and due to the power requirements of a 960 I've had to...

My specs: A-10 6800k 4.1ghz quad-core 8gb RAM GTX 960 I've been running GTA V on mostly Very High/some High settings and it gets good framerates, but texture pop-in has been a bit a problem, especially when I'm driving fast. I've read that opening Task Manager and setting GTAV.exe's process...

My monitor's max resolution is only 1440 x 900, and I've been considering getting a monitor that can handle 1080p. Problem is, most monitors that I find that can handle that are fairly expensive, and I"m wondering if it'd be worth it. Can any gamers here give their opinions? (My rig is fairly...

I have a CX 600W PSU and my processor is a A-10 6800k (quadcore, 4.1ghz). I mentioned I'd replaced the processor as well as the PSU. Everything I've read says 600W is plenty for an r9 280 and my CPU shouldn't bottleneck it too much. Anyway, I just want to know if the card will physically fit...

Here's my computer: http:// and here's the card I'm planning on getting: http:// The card's dimensions on Amazon claim it has a length of 11.25 inches, but user reviews and Sapphire's official site give it a length of 262 mm (about 10.3 inches), so I'm going to assume the 11.25 figure is...

I'm currently using an A-10 6800k quad-core 4.1ghz processor, and I have no dedicated video card so I've been using the processor's integrated GPU (a Radeon HD 8670). However, I've finally ordered a dedicated video card, and I'm wondering whether no longer being reliant on the processor's...

270x it is then. Thanks for the help!

One important caveat I probably should've mentioned: My gaming resolution is only 900p (1440 x 900) due to my monitor, and I'm not planning on getting a new monitor anytime soon. With that in mind, what's the best card I could get until bottlenecking from my CPU becomes an issue?

Yea I figured my CPU is going to be my new bottleneck once I get my new video card. Right now I'm leaning toward an R9 270x or 280. How much of a performance boost can I expect? (I'm currently using the integrated GPU, and everything I've read says discrete GPUs are miles better than integrated...

My specs: A-10 6800k quad-core 4.1 ghz 8GB RAM Radeon HD8670 integrated GPU My MOBO is an MSI 7778 with a PCIE x16 2.0 slot. What is the best graphics card I can get that's compatible with my motherboard? I have a 600W power supply so that shouldn't be an issue.

My specs: A-10 6800k quad-core 4.1 ghz 8GB 1600mhz RAM Radeon 8670D integrated GPU After much research on this site and others, I've concluded my biggest bottleneck is my RAM speed, since I'm using an integrated GPU rather than a discrete GPU (ie video card). RAM speed is apparently much more...

According to my C: drive, I have 201 GB free out of 446 GB, so I'd expect my C drive to take up about 245 GB of space. However, when I run WinDirStat, it tells me that it only takes up 180 GB. I've heard that there are some directories that WinDirStat can't detect or analyze, but I don't want...

I have a Richland AMD A10 6800k, and when it's idle the temperature is between 40C-45C, and when I'm gaming it's usually between 50C-60C, depending on what game I'm playing. Most websites I've seen give 74C as the max temperature for this processor. Maybe I'm being paranoid here, but are these...

Recently, I upgraded my computer's processor from an A4-5300k (with Radeon HD 7480 iGPU) to an A10 6800k (with Radeon HD 8670 iGPU). My new processor works fine, and Catalyst Control Center acknowledges that my GPU is now a Radeon HD 8670. However, the memory size, type, bandwidth (etc.) are all...
