Hello, in certain games I am getting low framerates and I think its due to my GPU usage being between 20-60% especially on Battlefield: Bad Co 2 and Chivalry Medieval Warfare.. While I get 100% usage on games like Battlefield 3, BLOPS 2, and CS:GO with good performance. My System: MSI Radeon...

Hello, I've been looking at these two cards and I can't find the difference or at least I'm looking for an explanation. Is the boost version just factory overclocked and that's it? what happens if I do overclock it would it gain anything over the regular 7950? Thanks

Ok. So when I first got my computer, I turned it all on and started it up and lo and behold there was about a one inch border around the edges of my monitor. After a fair bit of research I found out that the borders could be gotten rid of by going into catalyst and changing the overscan setting...

Hello, I'm not exactly sure where to ask this kind of question. Since it's about a homebuilt system (an old one though), I figure this is the best place. The following post is copied from another forum that didn't get many results (aka none). I apologize if this is in the wrong place...

I built my computer last spring, and seeing as it was my first build, I wasn't surprised I would have problems with it. By the time summer came, my computer would overheat frequently and shut off. I bought more fans for it, but it didn't work and continued to overheat. Summer was soon over and...

Hello. First post. I've been out of the PC gaming scene for 10+ years, with my last real build being a box that had a Voodoo 3500 TV (was nice back then, lol!) Anyway, I've decided to try to get back into PC gaming, and have a fairly limited budget. So far I've decided on the following hardware...

Hello all, I recently upgraded my HD 6870 to a GTX 680 and am having a few problems. I have noticed that i am getting some micro stuttering on some games such as Black ops 2 and Battlefield 3. I originally thought this is due to my processor (upgrading soon) which will bottleneck the 680 but...

Hi guys, I have an XFX HD 4350 (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150495) that will not fit in my current build unless I remove the heatsink. Would it operate safely if the heatsink was removed? I have adequate airflow and cooling in my case.
