For instance in Battlefield 4 with Gsync on my frames are steady around 140-150. If i turn Gsync off it's typically higher, around...

    8800GTX Problem. Does it sound like a power issue?

    I picked up an eVGA 8800GTX yesterday and have had a few problems. On occasion, while in game, it has rebooted my computer. Everything will freeze or go black and then it reboots.

    Thinking about getting a new Video card today. Currently have 7800GT. Suggestions?

    I'm not really concerned too much on the price. What card would you recommend as a good upgrade? I'm not partial to Nvidia or ATI so either would be fine! I'm running dual 24" monitors at 1900x1200 if that matters. Thanks!
