fadedorca66, sorry to burst your bubble, but I’ll go ahead and list it out anyway 😁—at least this way I can finally stop stressing about it. I was actually leaning toward picking up a Radeon HD 7950 with dual DVI ports instead. What do you guys think?
Hey guys, could use some advice here 😬 I'm currently rocking a GeForce GTX 660 TwinFrozr OC Edition 2GB. I'm thinking about selling it—should I jump up to a GeForce GTX 660 Ti or go with a Radeon HD 7950 instead?
I’d probably lean toward the 7750 or 7770—you could always grab a decent cooler if you decide to overclock the CPU later, especially if you start noticing any stuttering.
Plus, you won't need to go out and buy a massive power supply, since those cards barely pull any power at all. 😁
It’s a much better option than what you’re running right now—plus, you shouldn't run into any bottlenecking issues. If they aren't based out in California, maybe just ask if they can ship it via FedEx.
I caught a movie yesterday, and honestly, I couldn't believe my eyes—Google. The first one actually had some weight to it, but this sequel? It's just total garbage. You've got people dying in a pool while this guy just sits there in a chair watching it happen. Unbelievable.
I actually have that same graphics card myself—but honestly, I don't see the point in messing around with sales and trying to charge extra just because one card might perform slightly better in a specific game while the other holds its own in a different one. It all feels a bit pointless, doesn't it? 😁
From what I can tell, that monitor is ancient—honestly, it’s probably ready for retirement at this point. 😁 Just to be safe, though, grab a spare monitor from a buddy and give it a shot. If the screen stays steady, then you know that old monitor is just junk. But if it keeps cutting out even with a different screen, then you're likely looking at an issue with your graphics card.
I have a feeling your graphics card is going to be the real headache here. I mean, there is basically zero chance you'll be able to run any of the newer games on max settings...
With all these new games hitting the market, having 8GB of RAM is becoming the recommended standard. It’s honestly not a huge deal, though—adding an extra 4GB will give you that much-needed $67. Just a bit of advice: try to make sure the latencies match up. Ideally, you'd want to be able to test the RAM in your rig before you buy it—I definitely learned that the hard way when I had to trek back to Best Buy twice just to swap out sticks because they simply wouldn't "play nice" together.
You’ve got a killer rig there—if you decided to upgrade your GPU, you’d probably be set for years without having to worry about gaming performance again. But hey, if you're dead set on going with a notebook, then go for it. 😁

The issue is that the computer keeps stuttering—sometimes it even freezes up entirely, forcing him to do a hard restart. Has anyone dealt with anything like this before? Any advice would be appreciated.
I'd suggest downloading CCleaner and Defraggler, running a full antivirus scan, and making sure all the drivers—especially for the graphics card—as well as Flash Player are fully updated.
boldgull8 said:I hear you, I really do—but if you look at the specs listed under the product, it actually says it's a 7750, not a 7770. So, I guess the question is: did they just mess up the product title by calling it a 7770 OC, or did they get the actual technical specs wrong when they listed it as a 7750?
Just grab your phone and settle it right then and there.😁
northernbison64 said:Hey everyone, I was wondering about Thermaltake power supplies—specifically, how reliable are they? I'm thinking about picking up one of those 530W Smart models for my current setup, which looks like this:
4GB DDR3 RAM 1TB WD Hard Disk AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 AMD A8 5500 Quad-core APU ASRock FM2A75 PRO4
Do you think that PSU will be enough, or should I look into getting something more powerful from a different brand? Thanks in advance for the help!
Thermaltake makes solid power supplies. It'll handle your configuration without breaking a sweat—you'll actually have plenty of headroom left over...
