I'm not sure I understand your reply. Are there desktop form factor graphics cards that can connect to laptops???

Do you know of any 11GB VRAM laptops that are even sub-$500??? I sure can't find any.

I suppose moreso than asking about specific hardware suggestions, I'm asking about some sort of condensed "catch me up on the latest hardware deets" so that I can make sense of all the numbers that come after the "i5-X" or what that equivalent would be for AMD. My google-fu has only brought up...

I want to buy a laptop to replace my old Lenovo Ideapad 330. Quite frankly, that thing is a piece of crap. Maybe it's just full of dust by now, but it takes a solid 5 minutes to fully boot up, and I had to switch to Chrome because it could barely handle Firefox. I've tried cleaning things on the...

That fixed it! Any idea why that happened? Should I be concerned something might be wrong? Definitely gonna do a backup & update the BIOS when I get some time.

I built this PC back in 2022. Never tried to overclock it. It's worked perfectly. I have Windows 11 set to auto-shutoff at 12 AM. Last night I forgot about that and was in the middle of playing Pistol Whip as I have for years, when it auto-shut off. When I went to turn it back on, the monitor...

I'm trying to download a 2007 version of Risk that I used to play as a kid. I've only found like two places on the internet to download it, and both are coming up as positive on virustotal for " Trojan.VBS.130831" which has me suspicious that it might be a false positive. You can download the...

I'm working on moving, my last post was about how to properly store my PC long-term, and someone suggested using the box the case came in. Unfortunately, I don't have it anymore. All the 66-something quart storage bins I have, it doesn't fit in. I bought a huge 28x33 50 gal storage bin, and it...

So last year I built myself an expensive ($2k+) gaming PC. Now I'm going to be moving to a campus for around 18 months or more, where I can't bring anything with me. So I'm in the process of getting rid of my stuff, but a friend is going to let me leave a couple boxes of stuff in his basement...

I'll switch to the Corsair Rmx 850 2021: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/26rRsY/corsair-rmx-2021-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020200-na I don't know much about CPU coolers, but for only $13 more I'm going to go with the Scythe Fuma 2 rev. B just because it's...

I appreciate the look into a 3K rig @King Dranzer, but while I definitely like it, my bank account does not. :coldsweat: Thanks @Why_Me for the additional part recommendations! I'll be going with that mobo. With the SSD, I'll be buying quite a few 1-2TB HDDs for video/etc storage/backup in the...

I've spent the past few days trying to find a better case & SSD. I can't find another case under $100 that has the proper CPU cooler clearance and good reviews in regards to airflow. So unless anyone knows of something better under $100 (preferably without glass) I'm sticking with the 4000D...

Thank you all for your suggestions! & Thank you @Karadjgne for your explanations! Maybe I should've put the Valve Index's resolution, which is 1440x1600 per eye 2880x1600 combined. I plan on having this PC for a long time and will eventually upgrade the monitor as well, possibly to 4k or at...
