    Bought an MSI refurb prebuilt for its 3080. 3080 is 100% defective. What to do?

    I'm really annoyed because I finally got a 3080 thanks to an MSI Aegis refurbished prebuilt that has an MSI Ventus 3080 in it. Purchased from Woot (an Amazon company). The issue is that the 3080 artifacts and crashes at the slightest vibration or touch -- especially its PCI-E connection. For...

    Best drivers for my EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW?

    I'm still on the old (but reliable) 314.22 drivers from 2013 since I didn't feel a need to upgrade until now. 1. What is the best driver set for my EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW? I remember back in the day when new drivers could actually hinder performance of older cards. Is that still the case? I...

    Is Haswell overhyped (and somewhat let everyone down)?

    I have been keeping an eye out for a ~13.3" light/small notebook that is capable of light gaming. Mind you, I have a hardcore desktop that can satisfy my FPS needs. This would be more for games like Civ, SimCity, etc. Since I am not in an immediate need of a notebook, friends have been telling...

    Is Clover Field an "able" replacement for my Entry-Level Notebook from circa 2008.

    First off, let me point out that I already have a beefy desktop for gaming. I use my old Dell Inspiron from 2008 for MS Office and light Photoshop work (jewelry photography). The old Inspiron features Windows Vista, a T2390 Intel Core 2 (1.86ghz), 3gb memory, 500gb hdd and a 13" 1200x800 screen...

    Asus u38n: Trinity "Ultrathin" Laptop --> Portable Gaming & Photo Editing?

    I have been waiting for a 13.3"-14" ultrabook that features an IPS screen (for photo-editing purposes), has a backlit keyboard, and sports a decent GPU (for light-to-moderate gaming while I am away from my beastly desktop). Also, I know Haswell will change the landscape in 2013, but the...

    Narrowing down IPS monitor for Gaming & Photography: Asus VS239H vs Dell S2340M

    So I am a n00b and I've read over many of the other "budget monitor" threads. However, I'm still torn and have narrowed down my selection to 3 monitors based on my limited budget of $150-$170. I also thought about buying a used IPS monitor (e.g. Dell 2007WFP) but I'm looking for a 1920x1080...

    Would Streaming via Media Extender Introduce Gaming Lag?

    So I finished setting up my HTPC (which is awesome by the way!) for the purpose of viewing live cable TV/DVR via the Silicondust HD Homerun Prime. My next project is to get live TV fed to the bedroom by way of another HTPC or a Media Extender. Because my cable provider (Cablevision) protects...
