Not sure where to put it as there is no off-topic forum, just needing some help dealing with newegg. I recently bought a gigabyte G1 970 from newegg, got the package and when I opened the box and took out the video card box, I noticed it was not sealed. The manuals were sort of crumpled so...

will play GTAV since I will have the horsepower to do so ;)

Bought a gigabyte g1 970, should be delivered(hopefully) weds. Anyone know how much of an upgrade this card is compared to a amd 6950? Thanks!

ok I think I found the problem. The power socket was being overloaded in my home and my computer was not able to get enough power. I switched to a different outlet and everything seems dandy atm. Played WoW for around an hour and fps did not go below 80. Also no stuttering in the game and in...

Now that I think about it, could it be a windows update problem? I remember when windows 7 came out everything was great. I then updated windows after half a year of no updates. Could that have cause issues? I usually just download whatever microsft recomends. I will try resetting monitor(s)...

Ok I found my old geforce 260 (great old card :) ) and swapped it in the computer on a fresh install of windows with just the essential drivers and programs. I still get the same performance issues. I also swapped the motherboard and the result is the same. GPU not artifacting if I am not...

Hello, was hoping I could get some assistance with my computer's performance issues. Computer Specs: Processor - Intel 2500K @ default Motherboard - Gigabyte p67a-ud4-b3 (latest bios) Memory - gskill 2x4GB DDR3 (f3-12800cl8-4gbxm) Video card - Amd gigabyte 6950 @ stock Main Drive -...

yeah I mean if it saves me $30, sure why not take advantage of it. the 3rd monitor will just be web browsing and using windows explorer, calculator, etc.

I have WoW using vsync and is capped to 59fps, i will try taking it off vsync and see if that helps. my fps when moving or a lot of spells are going off in WoW is 52-56 fps. video card is this one http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3667#ov also since I have a z68...

hello i have some questions I am needing answers for. here is my hardware: cpu - 2500k @ stock cpu cooler - hyper 212+ memory - gskill 8gb 1600 ripjaws...

broken sticks of memory or maybe someone switched stickers and packaging? hope you get it sorted out, from what I see on tech forums, gskill has good customer support. Lets hope there is truth in those posts :)

my memory is rated @ 1600 8-8-8-24 1.5v but I will see if bumping up the voltage will help. thanks for the suggestion.

ok a little update on my problem. I reinstalled the OS and installed all needed drivers off the motherboard cd. I still had the same performance issues as stated above. I then shutdown and took out the motherboard battery and put a jumper on the "clear cmos" pins. I then left the computer like...

I will reinstall the OS and install EVERYTHING from the CD and see if that helps. If that does not work, I am going to short the CMOS and take out the battery overnight and see if that helps.

i have tried an old geforce 260 core 216 and still get the same results as my 6950. I looked at task manager and only thing that seems weird is the DWM.exe (desktop window manager) cpu usage keeps fluctuating from 0%-2% when playing a game and or watching videos.
