    Jagged textures in games and aliasing, but everything's good in benchmarks.

    Here's what I've got in doom : https://imgur.com/gallery/R6Myl Far cry primal: http://imgur.com/ZFpLDOX http://imgur.com/ZFpLDOX Also some shadows are kinda "sprayed". Temperatures for 1060 at idle are about 50 (my case is garbage), and 60-75 in games (fans 40-50%). Ryzen is also at about 60 in...

    upgrading CPU from AMD to INTEL

    Hi, i'm currently using a a10 7850k with 8gb ddr3 and a gtx 1060 6gb. I guess that my CPU could bottleneck the graphics card.. I was wondering if an upgrade to an i3 6100 with 8gb ddr4 will make any difference? or maybe a i5 6400. What you people suggest? Thanks

    Computer suddenly showing that my SSD is full.

    I was installing Xamarin, and its associated files when suddenly my computer started showing that my 120 GB SSD is full. This is odd because the files were being saved in a different hard drive. Furthermore, I have even calculated the amount of storage I have on my SSD, and its about 70GB. I...

    PSU switch shuts down home's fusebox

    Hey guys, it's me again. I'm facing another issue with my new build. I've bought a Seasonic GSeries 550W, and it worked perfectly until I had to connect a PCI Cable, and it wouldn't fit in, because it had a fabric error. So I went to the store, and traded PSUs. They didn't had another Seasonic...

    How Does A CPU Become Outdated?

    When and how does an older CPU finally enter the realm of being outdated and becomes increasingly less efficient? I've read that CPUs can become "old" when they lack instruction sets that newer applications use, but is that all? An example of my confusion--- What if I bought a 5960X and 10...
