Im planning to buy Geforce GTX 560, i want my games to run smooth in a 1920 x 1080p resolution. My current GPU is HD 5570 and all settings should be low to run most games. my processor is intel g630, so my question is. Will my games run smooth without upgrading my processor?

Hi, I have an MSI 7950 gpu. Upon quitting skyrim my system sound is gone. If I go back into skyrim the sound is back. I am using the hdmi port on the back of the 7950. If I roll back my computer it works fine. I restart the computer and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

How much of a performance impact can PhysX have if it runs on the CPU rather than the GPU?? (Assuming the CPU is an i7-2600k and the GPU a GTX 560ti) On AMD GPUs, I assume it runs on the CPU only... How does it performs against the green guys??
