    Question Anyone know of any budget 1440p cards that aren't in high demand?

    Hi guys, it's no secret that GPUs are in high demand. What would you recommend I pick up to get a decent 60 frames at 1440p for a friend's custom build. Should I go secondhand and get something older? Is there any new cards that are available now that would also be good? heeeelp. I am on a...

    Question 100% usage in-game when outside

    Saturation? I don’t understand. The cpu is practically the chip on recommended settings for this game.

    Question 100% usage in-game when outside

    For the past two nights I've played Shadow of the tomb raider with pefect frames mostly and the occasional drop. Now that I've reached the hidden city, drops are constantly going between 50 and 70ps with my i7 4790k hitting 100% and loads of stutter. I play this game at 1080p with everything on...

    Okay, supposing my motherboard supports it. Then what?

    [SOLVED] Buying a 144hz monitor to use with a 980ti

    I’m aware the Nividia 9 series doesn’t support FreeSync and I’ll likely experience tearing issues. My 980ti does however support G-Sync. Does this therefore mean any new monitor I buy at 1080p/1440p with 144hz/165hz is fair game and they’ll be no tearing issues? This is so confusing

    I flicked my PSU I/O off to hard shut down a PC that wasn't responding, now I'm worried

    I'm flat broke at the minute. What's the worse that could happen?

    I flicked my PSU I/O off to hard shut down a PC that wasn't responding, now I'm worried

    Oh damn. Never even realized. Any long term issues? Should I replace it with something else? Only had my build done 4 months

    See my signature. (Sorry edit. Didn't list my PSU. It's a corsair CX500)

    I flicked my PSU I/O off to hard shut down a PC that wasn't responding, now I'm worried

    As soon as I powered back on, I received an american megatrends surge warning, but it's now back on and running. Is there any problems that I've caused permanently? Really scared! Yes it was stupid, I will admit before I'm bashed.

    I have a core i5 4460. What is the best graphics card I can pair it with without a bottleneck for playing Doom

    sadly, the 4460 was all I could afford, so there's not much I can do in regards to buying another one. I really want to play doom and was wondering what's the best card I can get performance wise without bottlenecking the CPU. Thanks for any help

    I want to buy an MSI R9 380 4GB card, but lots of people have mentioned its excessive heat. Should I worry?

    I've heard that this card has hit the mid 80c mark which I'm worried will cause problems. Last thing I want is anything to burn out. I have an NZXT s340 case for it to go into which I believe has good airflow, but I'm still concerned about load temps. Can anyone tell me their views on it

    Corsair AF120 fan noticeably slower than the other one.

    I recently built a machine using an NZXT s340 case. This came with two stock fans wired into a molex connector that then connects to a molex connector on the power supply. I changed these out for two Corsair AF120 and since I built my machine, the top one appears to be running flat out, but the...
