    1080p on a 4K monitor or 1080p?

    It's blurry, and how blurry it is depends on the size of your monitor. A 24" monitor 4k monitor set to 1080p would look less blurry than on a 27" 4k monitor. Your graphics card may support upscaling, which would run the game at a lower resolution and then upscale the output to 4k with less...

    Switch to Xbox

    I was PC-only until a couple years ago, when I bought a Series X. Now I don't want to play on my PC as often anymore—I want to pick up a controller and play, not fiddle with graphics settings and garbage publisher launchers. Game Pass is great and makes the transition easier on the wallet...

    Testing tools

    Some more ideas: - On the motherboard, are any of the capacitors bulging? They can fail without showing exterior damage though. - Have you tried a different power supply? - Have you tried reseating the RAM after putting things back together? Check the Q-LEDs...

    Need advice about GPU

    Is it worth it? No. Is it 30% more powerful? Depends. There's some gains if your game supports DLSS3, but relatively few games do, and the card's raw performance is marginally better than its predecessor in Nvidia's own benchmarks...

    1080p to 4K Laptop Display Upgrade on Asus TUF F17, is it possible?

    It sounds like you've done your research hardware-wise. One concern I'd have (besides the panel physically fitting into the lid) is the 3050Ti struggling to run games at that resolution. You said you purchased this laptop recently, is it still within the return period? Maybe it would be worth...

    Checking the battery with multimeter

    If it's swollen, it's definitely not okay, and trying to charge it or keeping it in the house is risking bodily harm. Find a safe way to dispose of the battery ASAP.

    No mouse, no touch pad either

    Maybe the touchpad got turned off accidentally. Try pressing Fn + F7.

    problemi con microfono windows

    Only other thing I can think of is the microphone privacy settings: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-camera-microphone-and-privacy-a83257bc-e990-d54a-d212-b5e41beba857

    3080Ti - upgrade worth it?

    What's prompting the upgrade from a two-year-old top of the line card? If you're planning to stay with 1440p and aren't using a monitor with a refresh rate over 120Hz, the experience will be marginally better. To answer your question: no, I don't think it's worth it.

    Why am I getting "insufficient disk space" errors?

    I missed the part where you tried to use your SSD, which I'm sure is NTFS. I think Windows shows a specific error listing the file size and something along the lines of "this file is too large for the destination filesystem", so it's possible the FAT32 file limit isn't at play here. This looks...

    Anyone Know Anything About Nexdock? Turns Smartphone into Laptop! I'm getting one for Power Blackouts & When my Internet Provider is Down!
