I currently have the 760 from 2013 and it's been a great card, and to be honest it ran the Battlefield1 alpha and beta just fine at 60hz 1080p ( i dont recall the reso 1920x1080 i think) with HIGH settings I think. However, I'm curious if anyone knows how much of an improvement upgrading would...

Hi When I bought my new MSI GeForce GTX 970, it came with a 6 to 8 pin convertor. I had to use it, because my PSU only has 2 6 pin connectors. However, the 8 pin connector only had 7 metal thingies in it. I still connected it to my graphics card, and it seems to work. I can play GTA 5 on high...

Ok, before you go jumping at it being the power supply, i have reason to say that it isn't. My build is relatively new (around November) These shutdowns appear to only happen while playing or had previously launched Garry's Mod. The reason why I dont think this is my PSU is because i've been...

As the title says, I'm looking for a new CPU to fit my new graphics card. I currently have the Xeon E3 1220v2. It is not a good performer, and bottlenecks most games. The 970 is simply too good for the Xeon. I am on a budget though (>$300), so what would be the best Intel CPU to fit the GTX...

Hello my Acer 5334-2541 laptop (5yo) recently appears to have had some part of its power function broken. I believe its the port or jack or something on the inside but it could be the power adapter. I recently replaced the battery to be sure. The laptop still boots and runs fine with the...

So gta 4 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I can't enjoy it because of bad fps. With the setting cranked all the way up, the fps fluctuates from 120 fps, to 25 fps. And ironically, I get better fps in gta 5 than I do this game. I know it has a bad port, but not this bad. SPECS: msi...

Please help! Everything is plugged in, but the build won't detect the monitor, so the fans on the graphics card stop spinning (at least, I guess that's why). Is this a motherboard problem, cpu, or what? I've tried 2 monitors, both with pin plugs, not USB. The only hookups for these are on the...
