    https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N780OC-3GD#ov I've owned this card since new, purchased in 2014. Runs perfectly, only selling because I built a new computer w/ a 1080. Comes with box (no sleeve). Sold locally

    Are two 1440p DVI DL monitors impossible on a GTX 1080?

    I'm going crazy here trying to figure out how to get my 2nd Qnix up and running now that I've upgraded to a GTX 1080. My previous 780 had two dual link DVI ports so it was no problem. I assumed a newer card wouldn't struggle, but I can't get HDMI → DVI DL to work at all. Does anyone know a way...

    Been out of the game a while - Card for 1440p 120hz?

    I'm looking to upgrade in the near future and I haven't been paying a lot of attention. It seems like the 1070 8gb is the best reasonably priced option. My worry with the RX480 is that it wont' have the staying power at high resolution. I've heard rumors of AMD dropping higher end cards some...

    Streaming video buffers but won't play - driving me crazy

    I know this isn't the prefect venue for this type of question, but I'm not active on any other better suited forums. I've been having an issue with streaming video that's driving me crazy. It has followed me (on the same build) from Windows 7 to Windows 10, although in 10 it's gotten worse...

    Windows - change microphone bit rate from cmd?

    I have a bug with teamspeak 3 where when I first connect to a server I sound like chipmunk. I've found that changing the windows microphone bitrate and applying it will fix the problem. This is the property I'm trying to change. Sound > Recording > Microphone Properties > Advanced > Default...

    Why was my 7950 to GTX 780 a downgrade?

    By all estimates, the 780 should kick the shit out of the 7950. Granted, the 7950 was overclocked and was pretty damn fast, but probably only got to ~7970 performance. In benchmarks, the 780 destroys my old card. It's benching 40-60% better than my old card in both Heaven 4.0 and Valley...

    Flanking monitors for a 1440p 27" IPS?

    I'm interested in getting 2 more monitors and putting one on either side of my 27 1440p Korean IPS monitor. However, I don't want to have to jump to a CF setup yet so I'm looking for something relatively small and low resolution. (I don't care about quality at all, just looking to get some...

    Radeon 7950 prices climbing now?

    I was really hoping the release of the R9 cards would result in a price drop of the 7950 to the $150-180 range so I could pick up another one to run in crossfire. Prices right now are only $20 less than I paid a year ago for my card. Think there's any hope of the 7950's dropping in price or...

    7950 Overclocking = worse frame rates?

    I'm confused here. I was able to stably reach 1075/1475 on my Sapphire 7950 but for some reason after overclocking I'm getting worse results in benchmarking software and games.

    Macbook Air 2013 Windows Battery Life?

    I haven't seen any benchmarks for a windows installation on a Macbook Air. I'm thinking of getting one, but I have no need for MacOS. I know the older models saw a reduction in battery life of ~30% when running windows (due to lack of optimization features in the OS linked to the hardware)...

    Upgrade GTX 460 to ? for 1440p?

    Right now I'm running an MSI Talon Attack GTX 460 and I'm getting a 1440p monitor. With only 1gb of ram, I'm guessing the 460 will not be up to the task. I'd like to keep the price around $200. From what I've read it seems the Radeon 7870 would be a good choice because of the high memory...

    Is there any possibility that my power supply or any other components on my motherboard are making a whining sound when the computer is at full load?
