    Cable modem recommendations (06/*/2016)

    I'd go with the Arris if you want to spend that much. One thing to keep in mind is that Comcast is already testing DOCSIS 3.1 in small markets and it will require a modem upgrade when they turn your market up. If you are insistent on purchasing your own device, you may want to stick with...

    Afterburner OSD not working

    After getting tired of PrecisionX having issues, I've moved to Afterburner. I got it installed and all set up, but I can't get the OSD to display and am unsure why. I've tried setting hotkeys to toggle/show/hide and that doesn't do anything. Anyone have any ideas?

    OSD not working with Afterburner

    Ok, I got tired of PrecisionX having issues so I moved to Afterburner. After getting it installed, I've found that no matter what I do, I cannot get the OSD to show up in game. Any suggestions?

    Nvidia Driver failure

    So, odd issue that I'm hoping to find an answer for. Every time I reboot my PC and go to play a game, the first time I fire up ANY game the driver for my GPU fails and resets. After that things play just fine. It's not a "show stopper" of an issue, but it is annoying that I have to force...

    Gigabit cable internet & DOCSIS 3.1

    There are no current Gigabit services being offered over coax cable in the US. DOCSIS 3.0 will not support the speed on any carrier that also caries video or phone services due to lack of available clean channels to bond together. One of the big benefits of DOCSIS 3.1 is that due to new FEC...

    I need a transparent PPPoE device. Suggestions?

    I agree with Dead Parrot, the point of "redundant" firewalls is to put them on separate ISP's with separate physical paths, that way if one ISP suffers an outage, the service remains up. I've seen many businesses with this setup, usually using a cable based ISP as their "primary" due to higher...

    Need router/modem with longer range - help appreciated

    A couple of points on this. The Gateway devices (modem/router combo devices) that you find on the market are not the best wireless routers out there. The biggest question is do you get the proper speeds when hardwired via ethernet to the gateway? If so, it's not the internet connection but...

    Need help! Headphone Recommendation

    If you are planning on using the headphones for more gaming than anything else, perhaps it would help to look at some gaming related headphones? I have been using the Corsair H2100's for about 8mo now and love them. Sound quality is pretty good in movies and music, but it realy shines in...

    Need some Monitor Guidance. Looking for: 27" 1080P w/ GSync

    1920X1080 will be pretty easy with the GC you have, regardless of refresh rate. At that size, I'd say maybe a 1440p monitor is the way to go, and if you are looking at G-Sync I would suggest the ASUS ROG PG278Q Black 27.

    Headphones: No idea what to do.

    I'm using a Corsair H2100, have had them for a year. I personally think they sound pretty good, have good spacial effects for surround sound, and are independent of any onboard sound card you have (via USB). I do a lot of FPS and between the powerfull bass for explosions and the good...

    Are there any games that use more than 16 GB RAM?

    I have 16GB of RAM in my PC right now and have never seen all of it used playing any game. I've seen it get to about 75% allocated for a few brief moments, usually during map loading, then it goes back down and sits between 1/3 and 1/2 in use. Are there games coming out in the next 6-24mo...

    Looking for good headphones

    I have been a fan of the Corsair gaming headphones for a while. I currently have the H2100 wireless set, but in your price range I would suggest the Raptor HS40 currently at $40.09 with prime shipping at Amazon, or the H1500 at $64.99 with prime shipping. They may not have perfect audio, but...

    $600 computer vs PS4 for VR

    I'm wary of getting any of this generation of VR. It seems everyone is going to throw their hat in and I don't have the cash to end up getting two or three different setups just to be able to enjoy everything I may want to. That being said, I'd lean more towards the Oculus and a decent gaming...

    I Am After The Best Headphones Audio Setup?

    This is a tough one, audio is so subjective. I us a set of Corsair H2100's for gaming, movies, and music and could not be happier. I know others will chime in and suggest all sorts of different sets, but your best option will be to head to a local electronics store that may let you try some...

    Good Headset?

    I'm using the Corsair H2100 and it sounds great and has a pretty good mic on it. Due to children, I often game with the left ear cup off and behind my ear (so I can hear my kids in case of trouble) and the mike picks up fine even in that position. I also love I can pause a game or movie and...

    Monitor newb!

    Whatever you get, I would stick with 1080P based of the GPU you have listed. I have the EVGA GTX 970 ACX 1.0 Superclocked and games like Dragon Age Inquisition are keeping right at 50-60fps with 2xMSAA and everything else maxed. If you move to a 3 monitor setup or a 1440p monitor you are going...

    Cannot get higher than 100 MBPS over ethernet using ASUS RT N66U

    Try a different PC with a Gigabit Ethernet port, and try connecting to a different Ethernet port on the router. If you are still not getting the faster speeds via the router, try a different router. It could be the router is the cause, even though it has Gigabit WAN/LAN ports.

    Shadow or Mordor To Require 6GB of VRAM @ 1080p for Ultra Textures

    I'm running the game off a single EVGA GTX 970 SC at stock speeds @ 1080p with ultra textures and there is very little slowdown in the game. Besides ultra textures, I have all other settings to their highest setting as well. On occasion it will stutter for just a moment but I think it's as I...

    Would a GTX 970 be a good upgrade for my rig?

    I am coming from the Sapphire Toxic 6950 (the one where the Bios switch unlocked the extra pipelines) and the GTX 970 made a huge difference in what is playable at 1080p. Where I had to often turn settings down on the 6950, I'm now leaving all settings at max and have smooth performance. I got...

    Optimal PSU for a GTX 970?

    I've got a Corsair 750W and just dropped the EVGA GTX 970 in my rig. I'm running a Ivy Bridge I7 3770K with some mild OC, 16gb ram, one SSD, 2 regular platter HDD's. So far everything seems to be running fine.

    Need GPU Suggestions

    I ordered off Amazon, was about 5min to late when I hit the order button so am waiting for stock to be filled. I had the screen up and was bouncing between a few different cards and by the time I pulled the trigger everyone was out of stock...go figure. Oh well, now I get to wait impatiently...

    Is a 4gb variant of GTX970 sufficient for gaming at 4K resolution?

    Based on the reviews I have seen, the 970 is not going to be a 4k@max settings type card, at least not by itself. Even with the 980, settings had to be turned down on the games you mention above to get things "playable."

    Need GPU Suggestions

    BTW, the reason I spent the extra $10 was that I have had mixed results trying to OC my own cards the past two generations. It's my hope I can go well beyond the stock OC, but this card gives me a fairly sizable factory OC to begin with so it's less headache/heartache if I can't.

    Need GPU Suggestions

    So just got the EVGA 04G-P4-0974-KR, the one with the higher overclock. Downside is that it's out of stock everywhere so I may be waiting a while for it. Hopefully Amazon gets it back in stock soon!

    Need GPU Suggestions

    I'm currently doing a run through of ME3, will probably replay a few other titles I've had around, or a few I got cheap on steam and haven't played yet, nothing overly demanding. I was looking at the EVGA card and noticed two part numbers: 04G-P4-0974-KR and 04G-P4-0972-KR. Anyone know the...

    Need GPU Suggestions

    My budget is approx $400. I play a mix of FPS and RPG titles. My hope was to upgrade before Dragon Age Inquisition drops in November and I want something that will run it at max settings. I'm thinking of hanging tight for another month or two to see what AMD comes out with to compete with the...

    Need GPU Suggestions

    I'm looking for a bit of feedback as to getting a new GPU. I am currently running a Sapphire Toxic 6950 and it's starting to show its age so I was thinking of upgrading to a R9 290 now that prices are finally starting to fall. However, with the launch of the GTX 980/970 this morning I'm once...

    Add an access point with separate coax internet cable?

    MoCA (Multimedia over Coax) is the networking standard that goes over coax and it....can be tricky, especially if the coax is also used for actual cable TV or internet services. Since all of the coax outlets in the home usually tie into the same main splitter, a MoCA network tends to have...

    Charter Cable going Digital... Do I need to change my PC setup

    You will need a cable company supplied box or cable card for each TV/Tuner in the home. Not only will this be an all "digital" upgrade, it will also mean all channels are encrypted and require the additional hardware to function.

    Need an AC based router with high coverage

    Based off the way that the built in antennas in routers are designed they generally propagate upwards well. We see it all the time where the whole reason a person is having issues is the router is on the 2nd floor at the far edge and when we move it to ground floor and centralize it the...

    Looking for a DOCSIS 3.0 Wireless cable modem

    Motorola Surfboard Extreme SBG6782-AC is probably the best all arround device right now. It's DOCSIS 3.0 and Wireless AC capable so it should be pretty future proof for the next 3yr or so. In about 3yr most cable providers will start to update their networks to DOCSIS 3.1 and that standard is...

    Will I ever be able to install 'CyanogenMod' on my Samsung Note 3 (Verizon) phone?

    Try asking at androidcentral.com. I have not seen any other posts about the GN3 not being able to install CyanogenMod. Being able to do this is all about gaining root access to the device and I am sure someone in those forums have gained this. I have a HTC phone so I do not have direct...
