    Just Got Hacked!

    Just a warning to everyone, I got hacked this morning on Fanatical.com. It was an unauthorized charge for $24.95 so apparently the culprit bought a game hoping I wouldn't see the transaction. I haven't used that site since 2018 but I'm thinking someone might be illegally accessing their...

    Shitty Steam Speeds....

    Wow, never seen Steam so slow as tonight. I'm downloading an update to 3DMark that is 500MB and it's taking me 30 minutes! Usually, with my Gigabit Ethernet I can download that amount in a minute or so. Network tests confirm I'm getting full speed. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing...

    G305 skipping issues

    I've resisted all these years, but finally broke down and bought a G305 wireless mouse for my gaming rig. I've had a standard wireless mouse on my work computer for years, and never had a problem with it. But in games and regular applications, it seems like the G305 "skips" when maneuvering...

    Just Upgraded To Gigabit

    Been thinking my 300 Mbps was plenty fast and I rarely maxxed it out, but my ISP offered me an upgrade to 1 Gbps for the same $80/month I've been paying, so it was a real no-brainer. Can't wait to get home tonight and run some speed tests. Hard to believe that just three years ago I was stuck...

    Advice Needed on Building an i9 9900K 5.0GHz System

    I could use some advice from the [H]ard Crew regarding building an i9 9900K rig that runs at 5GHz. From what I've read, the 9900K runs extremely hot and needs water-cooling. Here's my list of main parts I'm considering and I'd appreciate any suggestions or recommendations. Gigabyte Z390 Aorus...

    390.65 drivers hosed my 4K display!

    FYI: Never had a problem running Nvidia drivers for the past 20 years, but these borked my video card! After installing them I couldn't select 4K no matter what I tried. I finally did a clean install of 388.71 and it fixed it. Just a warning to those who are considering installing them!

    Project Cars 2 Demo

    Just tried out the 3 GB demo. Drove the Ferrari 488 GT3 and a Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4. Surprisingly, the Lambo handled better than the Ferrari even though it felt (and is) much heavier. However, both seemed to understeer terribly, making it hard to pull off a smooth, fast lap. I bought the...

    Help! Slow POST with 970

    So I just got my MSI 970 today and it works great (Firestrike benchmark is double what my 670's was) but every time I restart my PC, the post takes like two minutes. It stays on the motherboard splash screen and then finally beeps and loads. I've never had a video card do this before, but it...

    Any news on GeForce GTX 780?

    I haven't really seen any updates on Nvidia's next GPU for the past couple of months and wondered what the latest news was? I held off on getting a 600-series GPU so I'm really chomping at the bit to get a GTX 770.

    Need for Speed: Most Wanted

I've played all the other NFS games since the original back in '94 and I had high hopes for this one. But I'm not too impressed with what I've seen so far. The game starts with you in an...

    Fatal1ty 750w rebooting PC

    I just got a brand-new (not refurb) OCZ Fatal1ty 750w power supply a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, I was watching a movie on my PC and suddenly all the power went off. It rebooted and came back up but it has me worried. My old 650w Antec never did that and nothing else has changed in my PC. I...

    GTX 570 Overheating???

    Yesterday, I played both Crysis 2 and NFS: Shift 2 and after a few minutes, each got really choppy. I've had the card about a month and it worked great up until this point. No artifacts or anything, but really strange. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    New Q9650 hits 100 celsius when gaming

    I just got my new Q9650 installed and noticed that while it idles at 60 degrees celsius, it hits 95-100 degrees celsius when gaming and running benchmarks. Are these normal temps? I had it overclocked but even at stock clocks it is running the same temps!

    Got a 5850. Should I Keep It?

    Is 5870 $100 better than 5850?

    I'm considering getting a 5870 or 5850 to replace my GTX 260. I've looked but couldn't find any benchmarks on whether the 5870 is $100+ better than a 5850, particularly if I overclock the 5850. I'm not so much worried about price as getting the best bang for the buck. Thanks for any help!

    Borderlands Crashing?

    I played this game for about two hours last night starting at the beginning and I'd really love it if borderlands.exe didn't crash with a General Protection Fault every 10-15 mins. Fortunately, the auto-save is pretty frequent so I didn't have to kill Nine-Toes again (it crashed to desktop a...

    Darkest of Days PhysX Benchmark

    I just installed Darkest of Days and ran the PhysX benchmark. With the rig in my sig and at 1680x1050 with all display settings on high and PhysX set to Low I got 75 fps. On Medium PhysX it was 45 fps and High PhysX it was 25 fps. Wow, seems like this game might be the new Crysis!
