So processors and video cards are out of stock... WTF?

Hi all - I'm looking for some build suggestions... I haven't built a computer in over 10 years. The laptop I am using is from university - over 8 years ago! Any help is greatly appreciated as I've been out of the game for some time. Anyways, I've got a budget of about $2,000 CAD and I'm from...

Thanks all - wifi drivers are the latest. The reason for the laptop performance might be the firewall as its a secured corporate laptop. I placed the range extender half-way and hard wired from there, through the hallway, into the laptop. While the connection is better ~100mbps it's not better...

Hi all, I'm trying to use a range extender to improve my office connection and have encountered a couple issues that I can't explain. Equipment: HP Elitebook with Intel dual band wireless AC 8265 Samsung Galaxy S9 New Shaw router with 300mbps connection Before we get to the range extender, our...

Hi all - looking for help in assessing my options for a better network speed now that my fiance and I are working from home full-time due to COVID-19. Situation: We live in Alberta, Canada and subscribe to Shaw Internet 300mbps. Her office is on the main floor of the house where the Shaw...

Hi everyone. I've been out of the build game for awhile as my last purchase was a laptop about 4 years ago. So I'm guessing my last PC build was around 8 years ago! I'm hoping some of you geniuses could help me build a mid range PC that will perform well for games like Battlefield 5 and new...

Hi all - I have a GE70 laptop that's 2 years old now. I'm looking to find the best video card upgrade I can find for $200-300. It currently has a Geforce GTX 765M in it.

I found those settings to cut the frame rate significantly. I've kept everything at default medium and upped the texture quality to high and its right where I want it. Thanks for your input.

Do you have the GTX 765M?

Hey guys, I just bought a new MSI gaming laptop (in sig) and I'm currently playing BF4 on medium graphic settings (not customized). The frame rate is very good right now, but when I turn it on high I notice it begins to slow down. Does anyone have any recommendations on which settings I...

17.3" After checking out that website you posted I see a 670MX barely cuts it for BF3, let alone BF4. That's very disappointing, lol. The best "gaming" laptop I've seen in my price range is right at the top at $1400 with a 760MX.

Hey guys. I'm a student so I need to buy a laptop for school purposes. I also have a desktop system (in my sig) that I love playing BF3 with, with maxed settings. I was hoping that with my laptop purchase, I could spend in the range of $1000-$1400 and get one with a good enough video card to...

Hey everyone. I'm just wondering how the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670MX stacks up against equivalent PC video cards. I'm thinking of buying an ASUS gaming laptop and want to know how it would run BF4. :) I can't afford anything better so I hope the 670MX is good enough?

Hey everyone, I built my PC (in sig) 2 years ago for Battlefield 3 with the advice of everyone on these forums. Awesome build, and allowed me to max out BF3 graphics while still functioning very well for lots of software I use for school. It still functions very well for what I need for...
