I am looking to buy a new graphics card. Thinking about the $800 range. Have been reading reviews. I am coming from 980ti. Is it advisable to stay with NVIDIA because I am using a Viewsonic XG270QG? It is one of those G-SYNC ULTIMATE displays.

New build for Rift, Revit and gaming. Will put in 6700K with either 16 or 32gb high speed ram. I am not familiar with over clocking but probably will try it, not trying for extreme clock. I won't have more than 1 high end GPU at a time. I may do SLI in the future but right now I'm not too...

I noticed my Malwarebytes premium was taking a long time to scan. Upon further inspection it was giving me a message hours into the scan letting me know it had stopped working. I removed the program, rebooted, used a cleaner, rebooted, and reinstalled the program. Same problem. Turns out...

Work recently shipped me a new laptop, dock and 22" monitior. It sits here next to my home system where I am using a U2711. I have liked having the two computers to use while I work. I can do personal stuff on one while I work on the other or I have autocad running on one and Revit on the...

My oldest is graduating high school in June. I want to get him a laptop as a present for doing a good job. I envision him using this for college for the first few years. I am thinking I should not get him a big 17" but rather something more portable like 15.6 or below. I'd like to...

I recently bought a 512 M4 SSD. I have not yet installed it. The prices are nice and I can afford to buy another smaller drive (120gb or less). Is it a good idea to buy a small drive for the O.S. and use the large one for games and my AutoCad or is that just silly and a waste of money?

I have a p658xd motherboard. I recently purchased a Crucial M4 512gb ssd drive. It has been sitting here for a few weeks, I have not installed it. Sadly I understand from reading that the Sata 3 on my x58 board isn't that great. Would it help if I purchased a card like this to plug...
