Cheers. I will hold out for a 16x card... I am not likely to use the extra bandwidth, but there is no point in adding a bottle neck What about the RX460 card? Anyone know if that can be considered for my application?

I have been keeping an eye on eBay and this has come up: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124749751752?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 But I don't think that its a standard RX560 is it? First of all the cooling surprised me as it looks quite basic, compared to other...

:) I am think more about seeing what the 7850 can do on my current setup with 1920x1200 monitors. If I go to 5120x1440, I won't be doing anything 3D (Except CAD). I am going to keep my eye out for a RX550.. That will serve me well for what I want.

I get that and thats my point.. I realise that resolution is MY priority, which is why I want a 550/560 based card... But I am just intreagued how my 7850 (Which i assume is old) is 30% more powerful than a more modern RX 550.. Why would someone buy a RX550 for close to £100 (2nd hand) when you...

CHeers.. Can you help me understand something (as I can't tell you how out of touch I am with GPUs).. My Radeon 7850 cost me about £20 2nd hand, and has a passmark score of 3,758 I assume the cards you mention are newer? And the cost a lot more.. But thier performance is much lower.. For...

Cheers.. I just watched an RX 550 on ebay and it sold for £70, so that would have been OK... According to Passmark, its actually significantly less powerful than the 7850 I have, but I guess I want this for resolution and not 3d performance. I will keep my eyes open. I am still not convinced I...

To start, I don't play PC games.. I gave up in the 90s after blowing tons of money every year upgrading to the latest hardware and spending (wasting?) most of my time tweeking the autoexec.bat/config.sys to free up a few KB of memory, for different games to work (you would have to be old to...

A couple of months back, I upgraded/rebuilt my PC around an ASUS M4A78 motherboard. I also bought a 1TB Seagate 7200.12 as my 'boot' drive but also re-used a old (and reliable) 750GB 7200.11 disk that I had in the old PC. Its been 100% stable.. I haven't had an once of trouble and its...

After an afternoon of installing everything on my spare drive, I finally reproduced the issue.. And the culprit "Express Gate". This is a Linux based OS which launches before POST at boot and allows you to do 'basic' stuff (like web, mail, etc). Even if you don't "launch" Express Gate at...

Well.. The ASUS drivers are now installed and everything is still working.. So it looks like its something I have added/installed... I am going to look at the list of apps I have installed, look for the ones which look like they might be 'intrusive' and see if I can reproduce the issue on...

I have just done a fresh install of windows.. And before I installed any 'drivers', I tested this. Windows sees the drive letters as before.. And now when I insert a card, they are visible it... So its working normally. I am now installing the ASUS drivers which come with the MB.. If the fault...

Thanks for your reassuring words.. I have been working with computers for over 20 years and this one has me stumped. Bizzarly, I found another problem today which looked like it was going to be a nightmare and using Google I found the answer in seconds. To be honest, I could live with this...

Since the symptoms of my problem are so specific and easy to reproduce I figured I would find the answers easily.. But after a whole evening of searching on Google, I have found nothing which can help... I have just built my new PC using an Asus M4A78 motherboard and had surprisingly few...
