    Constant squealing noise, and no sound.

    Often when you install a video card and its drivers, windows likes to set the default audio output device to HDMI/DisplayPort audio on your monitor. So check that in control panel

    Motherboard replacement/general upgrades

    Are cat 7 cables worth getting?

    CAT7? I would assume thats for 10Gbps. CAT6 is good for gigabit speeds, I doubt we will be seeing widespread home internet plans with 1Gbps any time soon...

    what makes the GTX 970 so much better?

    Stay away from the GTX 970. Nvidia basically blatantly lied about the specs, and the card has bad frametime stutters when using more than 3.5GB of VRAM due to the physical memory configuration and die configuration. It also has less ROPS and less L2 cache than advertised. Would recommend you...

    ASRock vs Gigabyte vs ASUS

    GTX 970 VRAM/Specs issue

    Exactly, due the the VRAM configuration, which is a hardware issue and cannot be fixed by drivers. Frametimes are the time it takes to render each frame from the previous one. High frametimes cause stuttering even with a high framerate Effectively, you can't use the cards' full memory capacity...

    GTX 970 VRAM/Specs issue

    Waiting 100-200ms for the next frame is not. FPS does not take into account frametimes. Frametimes govern smoothness at any given FPS

    GTX 970 VRAM/Specs issue
