    NVIDIA NDA & HardOCP - POLL

    How to Disable Advertising in Windows 10 File Explorer

    Well that is something, you would expect ads for a free OS but a purchased OS. WOW. I can not tell you if I ever had ads in file explorer as mentioned I made the changes the minute I upgraded. From loading the OS to loading anti-beacon. When the builder edition came out I had to re-optimize...

    How to Disable Advertising in Windows 10 File Explorer

    Some might not know this but you can install Win 10 as a local machine. (not tied to a Microsoft account). Make it local and some of the advertising goes away. Another sure fire way to loose all of Microsoft advertising and telemetry is to use anti-beacon from spybot. It is a very small...

    MSI Gaming or the Stix DC02

    The MSI 980 Gaming GPU is a great card. I've been putting the card through its paces over the last few weeks and I am happy with this card. One thing though I have EVGA Precision X and have applied the very same OC that is in the Hardocp review. I am unable to get the card to OC at the...

    MSI Gaming or the Stix DC02

    Does anyone know where I can get a back plate for the MSI GTX Gaming 980? I purchased it last night so no turning back LOL.

    Free Assassin’s Creed Unity Add-On Due Out January 13th

    The 344.75 driver work best for Far Cry 4 on my MSI 770 Lightning SLI set up. The new and current driver causes the game to hard crash my system when I enter caves or the Shangri la missions. I re-loaded the 344.75 and played through this weekend with no issue. Thinking about this issue and...
