    ROG Swift Vs Acer Predator XB270HU

    With the Computex 2015 pictures of the Asus IPS PG279Q making it look like it has got the exact same bottom right corner backlight bleeding issues as the Acer, I'm increasingly tempted by the good ol' ROG swift to be honest. That yellow puddle looks horrid. :/

    ROG Swift Vs Acer Predator XB270HU

    Hi So a couple of months ago I finally built my new PC. Went from a Pentium D 3.4GHz with 4GB of RAM and an HD6850 to an i74790k and a GTX 980 (jaw hasn't quite come off the floor yet!)... However since getting my new PC I've become increasingly bothered by gaming on my fairly crappy TV...

    GPU Issue

    Hey all Having abit of trouble with, I suspect, my graphics card. I'm currently using an AMD HD6850, and it works great, but recently I've noticed something which is causing me concern. In certain games (FIFA 12 for example) every so often mid play my screen will go black, I will get a "no...

    Problem, help!!!!

    connected to the GPU. The fans are still spinning so I am assuming that the GPU is still working and that Device manager is lying to me. With no onboard gfx and the artefacts and the fact that it wont boot unless I "Disable the GPU" in safe mode from the device manager (though it still seems to...

    Problem, help!!!!

    I assume the onboard graphics have kicked in. To be honest I have no idea as its using a 2005 Dell Dimension 9100 motherboard - it might have its own onboard gfx, but equally since I bought it with a discrete GPU it might not have. As you say though, if the GPU is disabled (which it is, I tried...

    Problem, help!!!!

    Just tried. It worked! I still get the red line clusters on the desktop though, and it still won't normally boot - sticks on the same black screen just after the starting windows logo. I am on WIndows 7 64bit btw if that is useful. Any thoughts on what it could be? In safe mode I checked device...

    Problem, help!!!!

    Hey all, so I am having something of a crisis at the moment. This morning I was playing WoW, and just as I zoned into an instance my system hard locked. Ctrl alt Del did nothing, and it was totally unresponsive for 5 minutes before I held down the power button to turn it off. It's not the first...

    How much will it bottleneck me?

    Ok so my system is using a hideous, ancient, prehistoric Pentium D 3.4 GHz. It is a Dell system so a total motherboard upgrade is out of the question, meaning so is a CPU upgrade. I've not got much cash at the moment and am considering upgrading my 8800 GT. The question is, will I see much of...

    17" TFT monitor upgrade advice

    Hey all I am looking at upgrading my 17" Dell monitor (it is a 4:3 1280 X 1024 max res thing which came with my computer when I bought it) and was wondering if I could get some advice. I don't have vast sums of money to spend, so was looking at the 23" Viewsonic VP2365wb...

    recommended upgrades for smooth fps

    His rig is in his signature Bug Eyed.... Well it is funny, your system actually looks pretty decent to me - nicely overclocked Core 2 Duo CPU, 2 GB of RAM and the 320 MB GTS aint a slouch either. 4GB of RAM wont make a huge amount of difference in most games. What resolution are you running at...

    Best Multiplayer FPS?

    O god crysis 2 will need more hardware power :(

    I think they my use the source engine still. I genuinely do believe Valve WILL make a Half Life 3, depending on how the saga ends in Ep 3, and if they do that will almost certainly be utilising a new game engine, however I still reckon Ep 3 will be a heavily enhanced source engine
