    Overclocking & frame rate increase?

    Listen. The GTX 960 is a good gaming card for 1920x1080 and lower. Get the 4GB version. It's hard to believe looking at the 960's specs but it's 10-15% faster than 1 of my GTX 760 because of much better pixel output than the 760.

    prime95 and asrock z170 k6

    No, you don't. In fact I would warn against running Prime95 for a long time as it is a CPU killer like FurMark is a GPU killer. Run AIDA64 Extreme and benchmark it from there. Excellent program for testing CPU stability and much safer.

    R9 290x and Crossfire question

    Why not go for 2 R9 290's? They are a lot cheaper and only about 10% slower. If you go to Anandtech's For Sale/Trade Forum you'll probably find a couple. And, yes, the 290/290x both have 4GB of GDDR5.

    Best nvidia graphics card to play PC games ?

    The GTX 770 4GB is your best bet or a Radeon R9 290 4GB. Stay away from the GTX 970/960.

    GTX 780 SLI vs GTX 880(Ti)?

    The GTX 780 is an incredibly powerful GPU equaling and in some instances besting 2 GTX 760's in SLI. GPU technology is way ahead of new game-engine tech so I'd say grab another GTX 780 if you can still get it at that amazing price. Our GTX 700-class GPUs will support DirectX 12 so no worries...

    Is a gtx 850 ti a possible release in 2014?

    The GTX 750 Ti IS the GTX 850 Ti. nVidia just named it as a Kepler card because they wanted to test a 28nm Maxwell mid-range to see how it would sell. Well, it's selling very well so we'll see more Maxwell hopefully by October. The GTX 880 Ti will come out later than the rest and there may be a...

    R.I.P. GTX460 [February 2011 - August 2014]

    It lasted as long as it was warrantied for. It's unfortunate but I, too, would stick with EVGA. I had 2 EVGA SC GTX 460 1GB SLI for 4 years and they are still going strong after I sold them for $100 for both to a guy in Minnesota. I now have 2 EVGA GTX 760 2GB SLI and I flashed them to the SC...

    I think we're in for something really special.

    This is the longest (that I can remember) between nVidia driver releases. It's been 1 1/2 months since nVidia released the ground-breaking 337.50 betas. I think the next drivers are going to be something wonderful.

    Civ 4 has stopped working...

    I have a problem running Quake 2 and its expansions. Quake 2 runs fine in Windows 7 but the expansions have to be run in Windows XP. Can you try running them in Windows 7 compatability mode?

    I need a new power supply and i need some help.

    I have a PS on your list. It's a CoolerMaster GXII 750w. It's powring 2 GTX 760 2GB at 1214/7600, an i5 2500K at 4.5GHz and 8GB of Kingston ValueRam 1333 at 1600. As you can see my system is heavily overclocked. Hell, even my monitor is overclocked (67Htz). I've had this PS for 3 years and it's...

    Is there an issue with my GPU? Please assist if you can

    Th eonly problem is that you have a slow CPU and slow RAM. If you upgraded to a, say, used i5 2500K or an AMD FX 8350 you see a heck of a difference. Your GPU is pretty good and your PS is very good. I know it's not what you want to hear.

    Is My Card Ok? Is the Benchmark result is Ok?

    That's strange. A 780 is about 70-80% faster than a 760. We need to know your full system specs.

    Unofficial GTX 760 owners thread.

    We 760 users all know that the GTX 760 is the best bang for the buck GPU out there. I have 2 EVGA SC GTX 760 2GB SLI at 1212/7600 and lovin' every gaming minute of it. How do you like your card(s)? Are you using SLI? Are you overclocking the dickens out of them? Are you having any problems...
