    choosing a router?

    Hey guys, So I have a question... How can I determine which router is best for me? I have telus internet and am using the router that they provided but I notice that my netflix (and video rentals from cinemanow) need to buffer a lot. Is there a router that I can choose to help me increase...

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Yeah anything above 60 was glitching, no issues at 144hz with newer games though.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    So I just wanted to update this thread by saying I figured out my problem. I have a 144hz monitor and had to turn it down to 60hz. Once I turned it down I had no more problems. It's disappointing that I need to reduce my monitors capabilities but it only seems to be required for Skyrim at the...

    Will AMD 13.12 drivers work on Windows 8.1?

    So I am trying to find a suitable older driver for my R9 280 OC in hopes of obtaining more stablility. I've done some research and it sounds like the 13.12 drivers were very stable. When I found them on AMDs site it says that they are for Windows Vista 64 bit. Does this mean that they will not...

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Ok, so I just received a replacement video card for the 1 week old Gigabyte R9 280 OC that I had to send back (RMA). The original card started artifacting and closing games at random so I returned it. I just installed the replacement card that I received, and installed the latest drivers from...

    Finalizing my Build, please help!

    Will that video card fit into the case you've selected? Some reviewers say you should install it into a full tower.

    new graphics card?

    I just found another review where the customer is running the EVGA 750 card on a 300w power supply... maybe you want to roll the dice and try it out? Here is his review: This card runs is very quiet, much quieter than my CPU fan at 50% (I don't hear it). At 55 watts maximum, I didn't need to...

    new graphics card?

    Like Spirit said, you won't be satisfied trying to upgrade your PC for $100. If you can just wait and try to save up a bit more money than you could get some very noticeable improvements. Have a look at this card...

    decent gaming pc?

    I think you'd be better off picking your parts like others have suggested. It is fairly easy even with limited knowledge. These forums are a great resource and if you provide us with a budget than you will get some great suggestions. If you pick the components out and then purchase them all...

    R9 280 OC crapped out. Wanting something different.

    Thanks fellas. Yeah I am just pursuing the RMA at this point. It's really my only option so I'll just cross my fingers for a good card. If it doesn't work properly right out of the box than I will try your suggestions Spirit.

    R9 280 OC crapped out. Wanting something different.

    Sounds like my RMA is going to be rejected because I didn't send the card back with all of the original packaging, etc... (it was all thrown in the garbage after the card was installed and was working properly). So I may end up getting a partial refund on my week old card... uggg

    R9 280 OC crapped out. Wanting something different.

    It was artifacting and I was getting that "display error" message after it would just close out my games at random. I had the newest drivers installed and when I called the company I bought it through they told me that it must be overheating and it was a hardware issue.

    R9 280 OC crapped out. Wanting something different.

    You think it would be a noticeable difference? I only game on a single monitor at 1920 x 1080 resolution. I just want to avoid more problems.
