Seems like AM4 will never die!
I setup two AMD systems for a family member. I can't recall what motherboards I used, but I know one has a 1700x, the other a 3700x.
I was thinking of picking up a 5700X3D that should be releasing very soon for the gaming system to replace the 3700x, and...
I'm too lazy to curate my own bunch of roms and emulators and want to just pickup something turn key to plug into my existing HTPC setup.
I'm concerned about malware and see some have horrible interfaces with games that are half buggy or duplicates or jacked controls, and others that seem...

Thoughts on the above for $500 right now? Either I suck at searching, or it appears no one is talking about this monitor yet. On paper, it seems like a nice fit, although I have no experience with Monoprice's reputation when it comes to monitors...

Hi Guys, I currently have a simple Galaxy Tab 3 7" low end 4G tablet, which I use as my car's ICE via bluetooth for music playback, navigation, digital gauges with Torque Pro, and smart radar detector.
Its a little taxing for such a low end system.
Anyone recommend a reasonably high end...

I figured out how to get Atmos ceiling speakers to work in Windows 10. The fact that there's no option for 5.1.2 speaker selection on speaker configuration is irrelevant. I just had to set my Pioneer Elite VSX-90 to mode "Stream Direct", or else it...
I have CAT6 in every room of my home, with most of my machines hardwired, and two WirelessAC 1900 routers. Works great for me.

Hi Guys, I have a R9 295x2 120mm radiator sitting in the top back 140mm exhaust slot on my case.
I was considering upgrading to two HP-14 140mm fans in push-pull, since they have both 140mm and 120mm replaceable rubber mounting corners, and then using the "duct tape" mod to ensure an air-tight...
Correct me if you disagree, but when it comes to water coolers, I was always told that bigger is always better. And so I always try to fit the biggest possible radiator that my case will take.
I have a couple FD Design S cases on the way, which will take even up to a 420mm radiator.

I can't seem to find an answer as to why 4K television are for the most part pretty damn cheap now, at least for lower end models, while 4K projectors are so expensive.
To me, a 4K projector on a 150" screen makes so much more sense than a 4K image on a 50" screen... but the market isn't...
I can't for the life of me get Cyberlink PowerDVD 14 to work with a 290x. It works with my NVidia GPU laptop without any setup whatsoever, everything just automatically works.

So I have had zero motivation to "upgrade" to Windows 10, considering that if anything I consider the interface a bit of a downgrade from Windows 7.
However, there was much hype about Windows 10 improving AMD performance. Now that we're in 2016, have we seen any games where there is a...

From my understanding, the 295x2, like any crossfire setup, only has as much VRAM as a single GPU. GTA5 though believes it has 8GB of VRAM, which I don't think can be right, at least not until we get DX12, right?
And along those lines, I've been trying to find a guide for good settings...
I don't usually cross-pollinate, but I didn't want anyone to miss this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1862471
A 295x2 under $500 is pretty insane IMO, and there is no way a R9 390 series is going to beat it in raw performance, at least not until a 395x2 comes out, but I'm willing...
