Hi, (I use Windows 7 and Window+P doesn't work) Sillilly, as I often do things, I have bought a Dell U2410 monitor to rig up with my HP laptop to use as an Extended Monitor. I hooked them up and no problems ensued. The default 'Duplicate Screen' option came into play and I had the same screen showing on each monitor. So, I changed to 'Extension' setting and the Dell went blank. This is...

Has anyone got / used a strix gtx 970 dc2oc? When the fans start moving, 40% speed or higher, the card is extremely loud. At 100% it sounds like a lawnmower. Is this to be expected in a high-end card, even when sources say it is quiet under load? Initially there was a wire protruding between one of the fans, which made it even louder, but I have definitely moved any wires out of the way now....

Hello. My current PC has the CPU and GPU described in the title, with 8gb of ram and a 600w power supply. It's been a while since I put this machine together, so the idea of upgrading it a bit has crossed my mind... I can play new games at 1080p, but of course not at ultra detail... Most recent one, Cites Skylines, actually is a really heavy one, and once you progress in the game,...

After much experimentation years ago i found an older (Sapphire) AMD Catalyst driver that allowed it in XP X86.

But i really would like to get the old system back if i can. I know first nVidia and then ATI...

While working, my Win7 desktop suddenly displayed multiple desktops (about 6 of them in 2 columns) and a message to "check with your hardware vendor"... the only way to do anything was to shut down with the power button, which I did. I then booted into Safe Mode and checked for driver updates, and updated the video card. When I booted back to regular mode, the screen displayed normally, and...

Hi, all. Here's the story. At the start of January, my graphics card started acting up. I was on my PC just looking around my files when suddenly the entire screen turned to a light blue. It then crashed and when I booted it up again into Windows, there were horizontal lines across the screen. The color of the lines were green and purple. After about 10 seconds, it crashed again. This happened...

So I have a little issue. I started playing GTA V on PC today and I can not even play in 1920x1080 due to too low VRAM. I checked the graphics info on Windows and the Total available graphics memory is 4800mb. However, only 1024mb is in dedicated memory. It would be safe to increase to like 1070-1100mb, right? However, I can not find any settings to change this in my BIOS. I have a Gigabyte...

My monitor supports 2560 X 1080 and that's what I have most of the time. Lately, if monitor goes to standby, upon coming out of it, the resolution will change to 420 X 240 ( or similar), and I have to close all browsers and go to desktop >Screen Res and change it back. I went to Dev Mgr and clicked update driver, but said I had the latest one, which turned out to be incorrect after I...
