    Windows 8.1: Intermittent freezes in Youtube app?

    Problem solved! I went into the advanced submenu for the WLAN driver and changed Wireless mode from Auto to IEEE 802.11b. That somehow did the trick, no more freezing and stuttering! Thanks again for your input guys, now to watch some Youtube videos!

    Windows 8.1: Intermittent freezes in Youtube app?

    Thanks for your tip about looking for drivers on other manufacturers' web pages. I installed the driver but, unfortunately, the problem persists. I also tried a driver from the ASUS homepage, but there is still no change in the stuttering (currently I am running driver version...

    Windows 8.1: Intermittent freezes in Youtube app?

    I've just discovered that if I use a LAN cable (Wi-Fi off / flight mode on) the stuttering completely disappears. Maybe the WLAN driver is interacting with some other driver or component in the system? As mentioned, the stuttering often disappears when the video has completely loaded (using...

    Larger WLAN antenna not boosting signal - why?

    Thanks for all the feedback guys, it will take some time to read and comprehend it all! My conclusion so far is of course that this wasn't as easy as i had hoped. I will try to adjust the orientation of the antenna a bit, but I don't think I'll be making any more purchases until I have an...

    Larger WLAN antenna not boosting signal - why?

    The Wi-Fi signal in the floor above and below are rather weak and sometimes lead to disconnects. I hoped that getting a larger antenna would solve the problem. I don't have the opportunity to check the status on the other wireless networks right now, but I don't think interference from them...

    6950: Bad screen tearing in games

    Got rid of the tearing! Installed Rivatuner and ran D3Doverrider. Apparently the ati control panel can't override vsync settings for all games. Only problem now is slight input lag, not too uncommon when Vsync is on. Any tips on how to improve this?

    6950: Bad screen tearing in games

    Hey all, I just got a 6950 (flashed to 6970). The problem is that it produces a lot of tearing in games even with Vsync and triple buffering on. I've just run driver sweeper and installed the latest beta drivers but the situation doesn't improve. Running win 7 64-bit with q9400@3.6 Ghz. I've...

    How to measure GTX 570 performance?

    Thanks for the replies. I found the error, in MSI Afterburner the memory clock had been set to 950 MHz, when in fact it should be set at 1900 MHz stock in that program. The card performs much better now, went from 15 to 36 FPS in the Heaven benchmark (1920x1200).

    How to measure GTX 570 performance?

    Hey all, I bought a GTX 570 to go with my Q9550 @ 3.8 Ghz, but it doesn't perform as well as I'd like. I've tried testing the card with Furmark and got lousy performance (15 fps). Then I learned that the card downclocks when being benchmarked? OK, so how do I know the same doesn't happen in...

    Worth upgrading from E2140 to Q8300?

    Thanks for your detailed reply. The most expensive option is of course the most tempting, I'll have to think it over some more. BTW, what frequency DDR3-RAM should I get? Is there a huge difference between CL7 and CL9? Thanks.
