    Very strange GPU/PCIe problem

    I actually had a similar issue with my GTX 1080. I started getting artifacting, freezes, and crashes last year. When I switched my GPU to the 2nd PCIE slot it started working fine so I was convinced it was my motherboard. About two months ago I began getting the same issues so I tried the GPU...

    GPU/CPU Usage/Temp Monitoring in Games

    It seems strange that Afterburner would be causing higher temps. Have you tested uninstalling Afterburner? You could try EVGA precision as an alternative for GPU monitoring. Other software you could try are for monitoring the rest of your system are HWmonitor and Speedfan.

    Does it make sense to buy a G-Sync monitor now?

    I have both a G-Sync display and Freesync display that are connected to Nvidia GPUs and the Freesync seems to work just as well as the G-Sync. If I were in the market for a monitor today I wouldn't pay the premium for G-Sync. Not only does it cost more but it's also limited to Nvidia.

    Laptop buying struggle: Alienware/Razer/MSI or anything else?

    All brands typically have decent offerings, but specs and build quality will depend on which models you are looking at. Probably one of the best you can get is the Microsoft surface book 2 - at least in terms of build quality, but it is on the pricier side. While many high spec'd laptops are...

    Upgrade from Logitech G430 7.1!?

    Well it depends on your budget and a few other factors. What types of games do you mainly play? What else will you be using them for? Do you have a preference between open back or closed back headphones? Are you dead set on Bluetooth? In general, I would avoid "gaming" branded headsets.

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    So I ended up going with the X2s from Massdrop. While I wait for them to arrive I have been looking into different sound card and Dac/Amp options. So because I am primarily gaming I should go with a sound card over a Dac/Amp? It seems sound cards are generally preferred for gaming where as...

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    Yeah so it seems when it comes to a sound card I'll probably go with one of those listed by N1GHTRA1N. Does anyone here have any experience with the Fidelio X2s? I know they're out of my original price range but they seem like they are pretty good all around, which is something I'd be willing...

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    Okay, thank you for all of that information. I hadn't even considered a USB sound card before, but those that you listed seem great.

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    I play a bit of everything. Recently I have been playing a lot of competitive shooters, but I also play plenty of noncompetitive games as well. So I'm looking for something that may not be the best in any one area, but is good all around.

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    I figured I wouldn't be able to get the best of both for $150. I've seen Sennheiser's G4ME headsets and while they seem decent I want something without a permanent mic attached. I think I'm going to up my budget a little bit. What do you guys think of the Fidelio X2s? They seem to be pretty...

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    Hey guys I've recently been looking into upgrading from a Logitech g35 headset to some higher quality headphones. Unfortunately I have been having trouble deciding on which would be best for me. I will be using the headphones for some music and gaming both competitively and...
