I have 3 major problems with a newly purchased RX6900XT GPU that never occurred on GTX 1070Ti I was using. This is connected to a LG OLED C9 TV. First issue: The GPU is limited to 4k/120hz 10bit 4:4:4 RGB or 4k/60hz 12bit 4:4:4 RGB in windows but not 4k/120hz 12bit 4:4:4 RGB. RTX 3080 is...

Okay, so I have only ever had 2 nVidia cards in my life since 1998. The G92 8800GT in 2007 and a few days ago to EVGA GTX 1070Ti SC Black to upgrade my "ancient" R9 290 OC Vapor-X from Sapphire that served me for over 4 years. I am using 3 monitors and "thought" that nVidia should have a good...

I have been struggling for a long time with AMD Crimson Drivers after 17.7.1 that worked fine but of course new games benefit from new drivers. All drivers after 17.7.1 gave me issues especially with Eyefinity and the issues range from side monitors not going to sleep to full system lockup as...

This is very complicated and although I don’t usually ask for advice and follow my instinct and my own thinking, this time I really need help. I am 38 years old, single Egyptian and have been friends with a 25 years old girl from Eastern Europe for more than 4 years now. First we weren’t...

Two weeks ago I grabbed a Sony BDP-S5200 player from Amazon.co.uk for ~$59 because I needed a Region B/2 player as my PS4 is Region A/1 that I got from the US. I buy movies from both the US and the UK so having players for both regions was a must. After trying the S5200 player in the last few...

I've had a TR-X R9 290 OC UEFI for a few month and was running great untill the DisplayPort started losing signal so I sent it back and they send me a new Vapor-X R9 290 which was a nice surprise. I have an old Rampage III Extreme X58 that is not UEFI of course but the Tri-X didn't have any...

This is the 2nd time this happens to me with 2 different cards. My HD6990 also had this problem where DP outputs got bad after a year or so and I had to RMA it and got a new one that worked fine untill I sold it. A few days ago, my Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 OC had the same exact problem. The...

Ok so I got my PS4 from the USA and knew beforehand that it is locked to Region 1/A for DVD/Blu-ray discs. However I decided to just check it with a region 2 DVD that I have and got this : For my surprise when I clicked "Ok" I got this message: I haven't found this mentioned anywhere in...

First was an Atari from the 1980s :lol: Got it for $450 here in Egypt which is an amazing very limited deal and I hope I'd enjoy it because I have a very good gaming PC, Eyefinity 3 monitors and will use the PS4 only for exclusives and as a Blu-ray player :o I wish I haven't make a mistake

I've had my i7 [email protected] for 3-4 years now and it is working fine on my Rampage III Extreme X58 mobo and use my PC mainly for gaming on Eyefinity resolution of 5760x1080. Playing at that resolution lowers CPU bottleneck, right ? Now I have a chance to exchange the CPU with a Xeon W3690 or...

Ok, so I've been running an Asus HD 7970GHz Matrix Platinum monster for a year now and it runs fine on my Eyefinity 6048x1080 setup in 80% of the games I play. I want to upgrade so that I can run all my games at highest possible settings on that resolution but also money is a concern. Here...

I've had X-Fi Titanium PCIe for a few years and been very happy with it. Recently I decided to upgrade although I knew I may not hear a huge difference because of my 14 years old Cambridge Soundworks DTT3500 Digital speakers. I received the new Sound Blaster Z yesterday and I couldn't hear...

I've had Nexus 7 2013 32GB LTE version for a few months and although it is a very good tablet, there are some things I really hate about Android. 1-No good apps for HD movies playback with virtual surround headphone 2-Apps selection is not extensive like iOS 3-Stability sucks! I was about to...

Battlefield 4 sound system is so weird with 5.1 audio. Typically with 5.1 surround sound you get voices from center speaker when you are looking towards characters who speak and when you turn around, the voice should move to other speakers. That DOESN'T happen with BF4 and BF3 before it. I made...

Catalyst 13.4 WHQL was the last driver that worked fine. Any new driver, either beta or WHQL gives me the same issue My PC lags horribly with all newer drivers! I mean the whole PC. Mouse movement lags, opening folders lags, moving/resizing windows lags and this is the first time ever I see...
