    Best settings for gaming (NVIDIA/G-Sync/etc)

    Hi, I have a GTX 1060 6GB and an AOC Agon AG271QG which is 1440p, G-Sync and 165 Hz refresh rate. Now.. I know my 1060 is not able to take advantage of that monitor, but to get the most out of my GPU I want to know what game settings I should be choosing. I would like to stay at 1440 and not...

    Noob question about refresh rates...

    Again, thank you for all the useful information. I think for me the image quality of a 1440 IPS is higher priority than the faster refresh rate. I'm not what most would call a "gamer" I just play some FPS like the ones I mentioned in the beginning and really can't complain about the performance...

    Noob question about refresh rates...

    Exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Ok, this is also something I was wanting to find out. Not sure how I do this, aside from looking up benchmarks possibly ? Is there another way ? Edit: I just saw this at a site called Tweaktown... NVIDIA really hit the mid-range champion spot with...

    Noob question about refresh rates...

    Hi, I am about to upgrade my monitor. I have some questions about refresh rates. I edit photos and play some first-person shooters (BF & Far Cry), but would put preference on the editing... I think. Meaning, I definitely want IPS and at least 2560x1440 resolution for the image quality, but...

    No sound in browsers but sound works in Windows...

    Same to you... Sorry, I know it sucks when you try to help but the person doesn't reply. Been so busy is all. And yes, in my first post that was one of the things I checked. Wasn't the issue. Thank you though!

    No sound in browsers but sound works in Windows...

    Sorry, I know it sucks when you try to help but the person doesn't reply. So to answer... I had already tried an old driver, I tried the basic windows driver, no multiple monitors, I am running Win7 so no Edge (although this system dual boots and in Win 10 sound is not a problem), and I don't...

    WIndows 10 Can I dual boot from dual disks ?

    Thanks John. I just assumed I should unplug the other OS. The EasyBCD was working fine but all of a sudden one day it started asking me at bootup, via the black screen with white text (like when you are about to boot into safe mode), which one I want to boot to. That's fine, works the same as...

    No sound in browsers but sound works in Windows...

    Hi, I didn't know where else to post this based on the titles of each forum, so I figured "software" was the closest I could get. The deal is that after a video driver update the other day, I lost sound in my browsers (Chrome is what I use, but I checked Firefox also, no sound there either)...

    WIndows 10 Can I dual boot from dual disks ?

    Actually, I installed the EasyBCD and it seems to do exactly what I want. Is there anything I should know about this by chance? I see the EUFI could have been an issue but not for Win10/Win7. Anyway, I appreciate the recommendation. I like to do things as barebones as possible but this little...

    WIndows 10 Can I dual boot from dual disks ?

    Ok, finally got time to install the new SSD. Installed Win10 on it and then replugged in all the other drives including the Win7 drive. The computer boots up into Win10 and I can see the Win7 drive in File Explorer (it's my M: drive)... but no option to boot to Win7. Is there a way to set this...

    WIndows 10 Can I dual boot from dual disks ?

    Thank you John, I will give that a shot then. I thought there would be more to it like bios settings, boot order,etc.

    WIndows 10 Can I dual boot from dual disks ?

    Hi, didn't know which forum to post this in, hopefully this is fine. I am upgrading my main SSD because I basically ran out of space. I am currently running Win7/64 and have lots of stuff installed. I was going to put Win10/64 on the new SSD. My question is... can I do this and have a choice...

    Need CPU advice...

    Hi, I am building a couple gaming computers for my sons.The last things I need to buy are the MB, processor and graphics card. I was planning to go with AMD to save on costs, but have heard I should reconsider Intel if only for the stability alone. Is there any merit to that ? For a...
