PC surround system for gaming

Have you considered the logitech z906? I would also recommend running a sound card. I used the speakers with an Asus xonar card and it seemed to work very nicely. But recently downgraded to a 2.1 to save desk space

Why do motherboard makers continue to advertise SLI support when nvidia officially ended multi gpu support a few years ago?

I dont think theyve ended 2 way sli. But 3 or 4 gpu sli is out the door? Might be wrong

best x470 itx mobo for htpc

Would picking up a haswell i5 or i7 and throwing a better video card be a viable option? Use the 1700 for something else?

Question I got a question on AnandTech's Review of GeForce GTX 1650, and honestly I am tired of seeing this happen at PC Hardware/Game Review sites

My first question would be, how many games support dx12? Next : Is it as stable as 11? Personally i use cards from both teams and have had alot less issues just sticking to 11, but thats just me? Maybe reviewers are doing so for the same reasons?

best x470 itx mobo for htpc

Im curious why you want to do this upgrade? The haswell i3 is still a decent cpu as a htpc, even with a decent video card it will do gaming as well. As for your sound, does your reciever have any hdmi inputs?

Do i need to buy a displayport cable to run my 1440p monitor @ 75hz Radeon Freesync?

You will likely need the display port cable for freesync, as well as possibly having to enable it in the monitors menus. 75 hz should run with either hdmi or dp Would it be possible to flash the card to get freesync?
