    Looking to upgrade for Witcher 3 - suggestions?

    Hey guys, I've came to you with posts like these in years past and you always help me tremendously. I haven't upgraded much with my PC in a few years now, and I'm thinking the best bet for value performance will be a GPU and/or CPU upgrade. My current specs: XFX HD-695X-CNFC Radeon HD...

    Monitor display keeps turning off and back on

    I recently built a new system and all has been well for about a week. However, now I am having an issue with my monitor (which is about 4 years old to be honest). My problem is the display will randomly go black for about 3 seconds then turn right back on by itself. The blue power light...

    Upgrading from 4850 to 6950 - same drivers - need to reinstall?

    I'm upgrading my ATI HD 4850 to a 6950 tomorrow. I have the most recent drivers on a fresh install of Windows 7 with my new system. My new graphics card is coming tomorrow - so since they use identical drivers, do I need to uninstall and reinstall the drivers? Or just plug and play? Thanks!

    Computer lags for ~5 seconds - hard faults?

    I've got an annoying problem that just began yesterday. I'll get about a 5 second lag that will make the music stutter, mouse non-responsive and skipping across the screen. This will occur randomly while my computer is under no apparent distress. I can be browsing the internet, Pandora...

    RCA audio-out on TV: need remote volume control

    I have my Creative 5300 speakers connected to my new 32" Samsung LCD TV via RCA audio-out. The problem is the volume on the TV will not control the volume on the external speakers, it will only control the internal speakers. I know that if the 5300 speakers were to have digital optical audio...

    My system, for gaming: would a RAM or Video Card upgrade be best?

    Slow browsing speeds on desktop only, not wireless

    I have a Linksys BEFSW11S4 ver. 4 router directly connected to my desktop and I connect with my laptop wirelessly. My problem is that the browsing speeds on my desktop are very slow. Webpages will take 15-30 seconds to load, while the exact same site will load instantly on my laptop as normal...

    Very slow computer, but fine in safe mode

    I have a Compaq Presario laptop that is a couple years old. I haven't had any issues with it until recently in the past couple months, it suddenly slowed down. Windows bootup takes a while (about 5 minutes), programs load slow, multitasking is slow, sound and video skips. But sometimes when...

    Stuck pixel or not?

    I received my new LCD monitor from Newegg today, and I think it may have a stuck pixel. It's red in color, but the thing is I don't see it when there is a black background, only white/other colors. But when I went to the site JScreenFix here...

    Nintendo Wii (Zelda) Component Quality with a widescreen LCD monitor (screenshots)

    I made a post on the Display forum with lots of pictures showing the component quality of LoZ:TP on the Wii with my 22" FPS2275W monitor. Instead of posting identical pictures here, I'll just give the link to keep the board tidy...

    Nintendo Wii (Zelda) Component Quality with a Gateway FPD2275W (screenshots)

    I finally received my component cables from Play-Asia for my Wii. Now I can actually use the component inputs on my 22" FPS2275W, which I've had for 2 weeks now for the purpose of console gaming in high def. Well, ok, 480P isn't exactly high def, but it's something! Anyways, here's what...

    Question about monitor noise? (New LCD, VGA vs DVI)

    I just picked up my first LCD, a 22" Gateway: FPD2275W. It appears to have to be a great display! I guess it's too new to have many reviews, but it doesn't have near the backlight bleeding as people are saying. My question is about a minor issue I have with the monitor. When I am viewing...

    Solving my console games on LCD blues:component -> VGA transcoder. Now which monitor?

    You may know me from my other topic, finding a monitor with component input for console gaming. I've learned how difficult it is to have quality inputs right on the monitor, and it really adds to the cost. After researching many forums and looking at screenshots I have decided I want to get...

    Another topic about a display for console gaming (I know, I know..)

    Alright, so there are quite a few topics concerning this question. I've been browsing this forum for a while trying to figure out exactly what it is I need. My 'requirements' are not the same as any other topic so a bit more of a personalized response would be great! Here's what I'm looking...
