Question Installed a new video card, after 2 weeks, computer powers up but now screens remain blank?

Do you get any error beeps or codes coming out of the BIOS? Have you tried cold booting (power off power supply with a switch and unplug it, wait a minute, then plug everything back in and start the computer). That probably happened when you switched motherboards anyway but just suggesting. From...

Question Would RTX 2080ti bottleneck i7 6700K?

This is it. The monitor is where the eye candy goes, that’s where most of your money should be spent. Once that’s maxed out THEN worry about the components to drive it.

First New Build in 7 years

Good points, I'll grab a 16GB kit then. I don't think the i7-9700K has hyperthreading so it's the two extra cores. Most of the gaming benchmarks I've seen put the 9700K a few frames/% ahead of the 9600K, even when overclocked, so I don't think it's worth the ~60% higher price tag ($250 vs...

First New Build in 7 years

When I looked through reviews in respect to gaming, it doesn't appear like the extra cores/virtual cores add anything to most games and the performace suffers from the lack of clock speed. Also the extra power/heat wouldn't help if I'm on air. Did I miss something? Are they monsters when...

First New Build in 7 years

Hello all, I finally have the time to do a new build and WOOOO it's been awhile so I'm a bit out of touch on some things and was looking for some folks to review my design and maybe offer some insight. I'm rapidly perusing reviews/forums/etc. to catch up but I still have some questions. That...

Gave up . . . . and bought a Strix 1070 OC

Hairworks is just a resource hog and a poor implementation of hair physics (like most of nvidia's add-ons), I wouldn't waste my time with it, especially when it's so difficult to tell the difference. Congrats on the new card! I'm still waiting on my 1080Ti

Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

Woot, show me the money!

[Various] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Review Thread

Rather underwhelming. Reviews show an overclocked 1080 ~20% faster than an overclocked 980 Ti. Not enough to justify an upgrade which makes buying a 980 Ti on launch this time last year a great deal, especially considering the price hike of the 1080. I'll be interested to see what the 1080 Ti...

2500k/2600k users - any long term overclock/overvolting issues?

Checking in, still goin strong with no issues. I prophylactically dropped my clocks from 5 GHz to 4.8 when I went back to air a year ago but haven't had any issues ever with this chip. Looks like it's going to be going a lot longer too unless Skylake-E brings some big leaps.

PC gaming is still alive, Nvidia post record revenue

It's pretty inane at this point. A GTX 770 has, what? Approximately 50% more GPU than a 960? Yet they're neck-and-neck in modern games. It's atrocious. Nvidia completely hung Kepler users out to dry. The (lack of) value of the discussion and the desperate attempts to somehow use it to...

I am not impressed with my Nvidia GTX 970

I had a 7970 @ 1.3GHz FOR YEARS that chewed through everything I threw at it. I only got rid of it because I went back to air cooling and wanted something silent. I then got a 970 and was unimpressed when it would choke because of its shoddy memory subsystem design. I then got a 980 Ti as...

Wow, reading the thread title I thought this would have been news about some new, innovative technologies coming to the PC; instead it's just the perennial brainwashed circlejerking about numbers they don't comprehend. Never change you guys :thumbsup:

[Techno-Kitchen] i7 4790K@4.7Ghz vs. i7 5930K@4.7ghz + GTX980Ti@1300mhz SLI in 4K!

Really? Did you not watch the videos either? Those are clearly identical scenes picked to make it as clear as possible to even the most basic reader the improvement of a new hex core. It's so far beyond proving the superiority even at identical clock speeds everything else is moot. I could...

[Techno-Kitchen] i7 4790K@4.7Ghz vs. i7 5930K@4.7ghz + GTX980Ti@1300mhz SLI in 4K!

Then the "rest of us" means those that have the attention span for a 3 minute video and can do simple math, which I've broken down in this graphic. Clearly each game is 20%+ faster:

You didn't watch the same video as the rest of us then. Also that 15FPS was 33%, which is insane considering they were at the same clock speed. Anywho, I've been saying this for a year - it's short-sighted to go with a quad core for a gaming rig. If budget is not an issue you should push for...
