Question Buy a new video card or build a new system?

On that older CPU I would not go above an RX570/GTX1650, it will start starving your GPU above that. your avg game FPS on the 280 is around 65-70 (1080p). Going to the 570 should give you around 90 FPS. For your primary game not sure if that is worth it to you but it seems you should be fine...

Question Can I make a second PSU power my GPU?

Your school's IT department is going to L O V E you doing this. And in some institutions doing something like this without approval is a firing offense. This is isn't your PC. Funny is that you are not the only one that is running into this My wife is a professor (so plenty of educators in...

Question 5700 XT, HDMI port stuck in 640x480

Try switching the HDMI connection to another monitor and see if the problem follows the cable. You don't mention of the monitors are all the same or different makes/models.

Solved! HD630 for desktop/light gaming and 1080ti for folding?

You should be able to just tell windows which GPU to use (ex: your browser). Since you want to use the embed you can add via win10 graphics settings otherwise through the Nvidia control panel.

IT Help Desk Ticketing Software

We've used HEAT, Remedy, Manageengine, Zen and Freshdesk (along with a number of open source options). We ended up with Freshdesk, they have a free option that lets you try it out (unlimited agents, basic features) before you commit to a more robust plan.

Display Resolution Resets to 640x480

I had a this happen to one of my daughter's PC's. Nothing worked until I started to really think and do some basic tests. Attempting to install the display drivers (after the graphics) failed b/c it could not detect my monitor. That pointed me in the right direction and after I re-sat the...

Putting Together NAS with FreeNAS... RAID5

I've just gone through this process (in the process of building everything) myself so I I would chime in. As you've become aware every decision has it's benefits and it's negatives you just have to prioritize. Just some background on why I made my decisions. I did not want any scheme where I...

Poll: Would you buy a case without 5.25" (optical drive) bays?

sure, not all my builds need 5.25 and/or 3.5" drives. I'm looking for a new NAS box and I would LOVE one that had ZERO external bays.

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Hello everyone, It's been awhile since I last posted but it's time for a new monitor. Just to give you some background I'm fairly sensitive to motion blur/input lag to the point that many FPS games will make me nauseous. So based on my budget I have narrowed it down to two monitors, the...

AnandTech not what it used to be?

Good point about moving on and so forth, at least to the point that now that I'm married with two young kids I don't have the time to "play around with tech" the way I used to. I still am very interested in tech since that is the area I work. I don't mind the enterprise reviews since they...

AnandTech not what it used to be?

I'm mostly a lurker but I've been reading AT for many years. I don't know if it's just me but it seems that AT has lost it's "edge" as a tech news and review site. I just remember a more consistent flow of reviews and interesting articles. Now you seem to get more "PR" type posts and the real...

A hypothetical social experiment: Blacks V. Whites

What resources are you speaking about exactly? I would suggest you read Guns, Germs and Steel. "In our earliest societies, humans lived as hunter-gatherers. The first step towards civilization is the move from hunter-gatherer to agriculture, with the domestication and farming of wild crops...

Online Vendors for custom PC

I don't mind paying extra, I know there is at least one vendor out there. Let me re-phrase the question. If you were going to buy a custom PC online who would you use?

Online Vendors for custom PC

Hello all, I really don't have too much experience with online vendors to build a custom PC (I've always built my own). But I have a family member that wants tech support from one place but needs more customization then (ex) Dell offers. The key issue here is that they want this PC to be...
