I'm looking at buying an RTX 2070, it comes with Anthem or BF. Can I gift it to my son who doesn't use a RTX? Or can these be sold?

I noticed that within a week or so of release the 2070 was on sale on some sites for about $50 off. Is this a trend among card retailers? Should we expect a 2060 version to be on sale in the coming weeks, especially with NVIDIA trying to show up AMD?

I've been looking around at video cards lately and have been trying to decide what the best value video card is. I see lot of opinions and even more options out there, so the questions I pose are : What do you look for when you're looking for a best value card? As of today, knowing that the...

Looking for a 1070ti and up video card. Being price concious (cheap). I know a lot of people refuse shipping to Canada hence the title. I don't want to spend retail price and it doesn't matter to me if it's been used as long as the card isn't burnt up or fans ate worn. Not looking for anything...

I've bring seeing a lot of buzz about new cars lineups on the way. Are we to expect a decrease in the current pricing of video cards once these are announced? From what I've been gathering some retailers may already have the new (or will have) AMD gpu's ready to go during CES after the...

Hi all I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 2600 system (not pre-made but built by myself). I picked up a Asus Strix Vega 56 and find that the problems I've had with it and it's performance don't impress me. Random blurry monitors, screwed up issues with it powering down monitors and resetting...

Hi all Built an AMD based system and am using a Corsair M300 NVMe for my OS. Since I upgraded I've been having a tonne of issues with things (mainly display related settings not saving at all). Could the NVMe install causes this? I've installed and reinstalled about 7 times. On my old SSD I...

Hi all I'm debating on building a new PC now, Ryzen 2600, thinking Tomahawk 450 motherboard, toss in 16GB of ram and wait for the RTX2060 to be released or grab an RTX 2070. Is there any real reason to wait a little longer for any hardware releases that may give me a better bang for the buck...

Howdy all, Been looking at replacement mice for my venerable Logitech MX518. I love the way the mouse feels and acts, but it's showing it's age now. I picked up a Logitech G600 but it's not long enough for my comfort, and a bit too wide. And the side buttons which attracted me (I play MMOs...

Hi all, I'd like to swap the following for a PS3 Slim. Only caveat is that I'd prefer you to be in Canada (I'm in Ontario and I'd be willing to drive a few hours to swap, as of the end of October I'm posted to Nova Scotia so if you're there let me know too) - XBox 360 (HDMI port on back...

Howdy all, Topic says it all....what card to replace GeForce GTX280? It's coming time for a upgrade to DirectX 11 capable card and I want something that will handle that as well as be a performance upgrade. Whats the best priced option for me now (performance too)?

Hi all Got a ATi Radeon 4550 (Asus flavor) and was going to use it in my movie playing system with Windows 7, but it's driving me crazy. Maybe Im missing something but I can't seen to get it to go the full screen (to the edges) like my NVidia laptop does. Am I missing something, or is the ATi...

Hi all, I recently built a Core i5 system to go with the GeForce GTX 280 I had, but when I boot it up there's horizontal lines throughout the screen, from 1/2 inch to an inch long. The are all moving (jittering) and some are flashing colors. Does this mean my GeForce is screwed?

I need help..STAT! I'm snagging a new i5 today and I got some questions. Remember that I am in Canada so when I toss a price it's going to be a tad different 1 - Does the DDR3 ram speed make much of a difference, and if so what speed ram and how much is recommended? And does the i5 make...

Howdy all Ive recently come across a Phenom 2 X4 965 and a Core i5 750 for a near identical price (2 different sites here in Canada) that are appealing to me. Motherboard and ram are the same price also, so now it comes down to the clincher. And this is where I need help. As a side note I...

Howdy all, Xmas time is rolling around again and Im hoping to beg the wife into letting me do an upgrade. Essentially I have the video card already (GeForce GTX280), case, PSU and all that, so all I need is a solid, lower priced recommendation for a motherboard, cpu and ram combo. I don't do...

I bought a nice gaming laptop last year since I've been away from my family alot doing the training thing in the military. I'm now looking to get something better, and would rather just swap mine plus whatever for a laptop with at least a GeForce 260 in it. It doesn't need a large screen or a...

Howdy I'm looking to do a upgrade to my laptop to something with a GeForce GTX260 or better, or looking for PC parts (if I swap for PC parts I'll probably keep the video card or look for a ATi 5xxx series swap) If I decide to swap for PC parts, I'd also want some cash to make up the...
