I'm sure this is a not hardware issue as other...

    Question Motion Banding on my LG C1 OLED TV During Video Game Play.

    Hello. Lately, I notice that when I play high-end video games, such as Cyberpunk 2077, using my big screen TV the image breaks up a bit during moments when the action moves quickly. For instance, when I spin the camera view in the game so a scene pans around, tilts up or down, etc., the image...

    xbox all access question

    what the purpose of xbox all access? is it giving me 24 months to pay off the system and giving me game pass as an incentive for that time? you won't need 24 months to pay off the system if it's $39.99 a month, is there something else involved?

    Question Computer crashes during Destiny 2 but not when playing other intensive games?

    My computer fully crashes (No BSOD, just straight to power off) within 15-20 minutes of launching Destiny 2. The power button flashes and I have to unplug the power until the capacitors clear before I can turn it back on. I don't have this issue with any other game so I'm quite confused...

    Question Help me find the name of an old 2D platformer game

    The game was a 2D platformer, the art style I think was pixelated. The story is that your sister was kidnapped and you need to save her. The first level was a forest, then the second one was I think in Egypt with pyramids.

    Is Skylake worth the extra money?
