Have been out of the game for awhile but is there some actual reason for 1060's hitting 1070 prices and 1070's going up to 700-800 on newegg and amazon? Last time I bought a 1070 I paid like 440 for an aftermarket card and I finally have chance to upgrade my GPU after selling my old 1070 and see...

So around a year ago i upgraded my internet from a 3mbs connection to a 10mbs connection and recently with no hardware changes I have been noticing a general ping spike while I am gaming whenever my mother opens nearly any webpage on her laptop. This issue did not occur when we were on a 3mbs...

In the original closing clubs thread it was suggested to make a public request in support of clubs so here we are. TPU is my favorite tech-related community and as such seeing a decision like the removal of clubs that fall outside of the realm of tech is rather baffling. Finding good communities...

I have an old laptop I am trying to reinstall windows 7 on and I have my original Windows 7 disc but for whatever reason whenever I try to boot from it my laptop just doesn't the disc is still functioning when placed in my desktop but I keep getting a message to reboot and and select a proper...

Been seeing some decent prices on 1440p monitors and after pulling the trigger on a new graphics card I figured an upgrade is due. Can anyone give me some practical advice on a 1440p monitor at 60 hz for gaming? Seen that actual response time can vary from what is reported and it would be nice...

Doing a build for my best friend either this month or in may and was wondering what the cheapest most effective 4k setup would be for him? He wanted to not exceed $2000 on the build but price is not really an issue as long as it would be at least 2-3 years future-proof. -He is not opposed to...

So I'm moving into a 2 bedroom apartment in August and the apartment as a whole will have a monthly energy allowance of $60 split between both occupants. That comes out to around 884 kWh per month in my area. Will the system in my specs cause me to exceed that regularly? I am just looking for...

So I am now in the market for an apartment in August rather than continuing to live on campus and seeing as I would have to pay my own electricity bill I am wondering if this would be the opportune time to upgrade the graphics cards in my desktop? While my laptop is more than enough for any game...

I went and uninstalled MSI Afterburner and Catalyst Install Manager to upgrade my graphics drivers like I normally do as per Erockers guide. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52502 However my computer screen now seems completely screwed up and I cannot do anything as of right...

I just got back home for fall break after 2 months and my desktop is in dire need of a nice cleaning. What would be the best way to clean literally everything without having to go and buy things I would not already have on hand?

Does anyone else feel like the next generation of cards will hardly be necessary? Except for a handful of games and multi-monitor setups there is nothing that will even stress a decent SLI/crossfire setup from the 6xxx/5xx generations let alone the current 7xxx/6xx generations. Does it seem to...

Just wondering who on TPU plays or has played TERA and what their opinion of it is/was, I am giving the 7 day trial a shot and it looks promising but sadly so do many games that eventually end up being letdowns in the end *cough* WoW *cough* :laugh: but I am curious about a number of things...
