4K Gaming

Hello Tom's Team, I've had some great guidance in the past on this forum. I have a small dilemma with regards to a monitor upgrade. Currently I'm using a 27" LG Ultra Gear 1440p 144hz G-Sync monitor and plan on upgrade. I'm kind of leaning either towards the MSI MPG 4k 240hz OLED and the 2k...

Hi everyone, I've been gaming on 1080p my entire life and now I'm looking to upgrade to a higher resolution monitor. I've got an MSI 1070 GPU and I'm looking to possibly upgrade to a 4070 Ti. I've always gamed on 1080, so i've never seen any 2k or 4k personally. I've been watching a lot of...

I have recently acquired an AMD RX Vega 64 from a friend of mine who have been using it for 2 years during which he had no issues with it whatsoever. When I installed it in my system it worked out of the box but there still seems to be a problem that I don't know what's causing it. After...

5950X vs 5800X3D for my use case? I have a 2700x and a 2080ti now. My game plan all along was to buy the best CPU at the end of the cycle and then not upgrade for another 5 years at CPU if I could help it and just upgrade the GPU 1 or 2 times. So maybe I end up with a new Nvidia card in the...

How much would the picture quality suffer if I were to play 1080p games on a 4K monitor ? I own a 1080p 144hz display but my PC specs are not good and cannot be improved easily in my country. So i decided to buy a PS4 Pro and replace my monitor with a 4k one instead. Any tips or useful information ?

So, the time has come to upgrade my system. However, i've run into a dilemma. I need to be able to output to 5 separate displays. And it seems neither AMDs, nor Nvidias new cards support that. Only 3 or 4 outputs. This didn't use to be an issue since in the passed i've only run 4 displays. But...

So I recently paired my rtx 3080 with my r5 3600 (no this is not a bottenecking situation) and fired up rainbow six siege (using vulkan, as it has the edge in performance after numerous optimizations). In 1440p maxed out, it maintains 165fps at around 75-95% gpu usage. This is alarming to me...

Hello, Im about to build a very high end system and plan to power it with the Nvidia RTX 2080i. I was wondering if that is the best graphics card for top tier gaming on a 4K screen as opposed to a SLI build? I currently have 2 x 1080s with SLI but they’re not doing so well with my 4K screen so...
