So I have an old(ish) computer with an i5 3570k and a 7950 and 8 GB. I've been throwing around the idea of purchasing a 4k TV for gaming and movie watching. Would I be able to switch out the 7950 with a jacked up 970 without it overpowering the CPU and creating a bottleneck? Would I need to also...

The 7990 is by far the best GPU out there by fact, not even an opinion, so why don't I hear about it much? People are raving about the R9 290x and even AMD is calling it the "the most powerful GPU we've made" even though it's clearly not. I was told one time to get 2x R9s for a super computer...

I'm wanting to record in 5760x1080 with Fraps while playing in 60fps and with the highest graphics settings. will high clock speed RAM be necessary or even helpful?

Yes, there's a 25" monitor with VGA, DVI, and HDMI and then a 21.5" with VGA and DVI

What people don't usually consider when buying a new GPU is that even some of the really old GPUs can run new games at max settings. My friend has a frikkin 5570 (really, really old) and it runs Far Cry 3 at Ultra. So, yes, it will.

So I've been trying to extend this old monitor to my main display, but every time I click "apply" a prompt says "Unable to save display settings." It's an old 4:3 monitor that I am told "Is working normally". I had to plug it in with a DVI-A to VGA adapter that definitely IS working. I know...

My new hard drive is listed in the BIOS, but Windows can't find it. This has happened before, but I forgot what I need to do.

I've been searching for one very intently for a while. I don't know where to find one. Basically, I wanna have my elbows resting comfortably on the desk and have 3x 24" monitors in Eyefinity. Along with all the stupid dongles like the thingy that comes with the Soundblaster Zxr, and the...

I am running eyefinity with a 5884 x 1080 group[/quotemsg] If you're running Eyefinity, then Laviniu Campean nailed it.

Are you running Eyefinity?

http://www.hwcompare.com/16573/radeon-hd-7870-vs-radeon-r9-270/ The website says the 7870 is a tad bit better in everything except memory bandwidth. But, still, I'd go for the R9 270 just because it's newer hardware. In all honesty, you'll never tell the difference after you get one.

If 60 FPS is the highest framerate a human can detect in respective lighting, is a refresh rate of 120 or 144 really necessary? Of course, excluding 3D.
