Issues with wireless mouse and keyboard in Computer Peripherals ·
Have you tried searching online to see if anyone else is dealing with these exact issues? You should head straight back to the retailer where you bought that keyboard and lay out the situation. If it's still under warranty, demand a replacement immediately.
Issues with wireless mouse and keyboard in Computer Peripherals ·
How far should a keyboard be from the USB receiver plugged into the PC? Are there any specific metal objects that might interfere with the signal?
Try wrapping the USB receiver in aluminum foil to boost the signal strength. If that fails to solve the issue, just buy a USB extension cable and place the receiver right next to the keyboard.
Looking for an anti-ghosting keyboard? in Computer Peripherals ·
Anti-ghosting is typically implemented on the W, A, S, and D keys, since those are the primary movement inputs used in almost every game.

What processor are you running?
Which mousepad should I get? in Computer Peripherals ·
You can absolutely mix and match different mouse brands with your mousepad; there is zero requirement to stick to a single manufacturer. If you are looking at budget options, you have the SteelSeries QcK+ line, which comes in various sizes ranging from small to extra large. When looking at Razer, they offer the Goliathus Speed and the Goliathus Control. To be clear, the Speed version provides a smooth surface ideal for low DPI settings, whereas the Control version offers more friction, making it better suited for high DPI users. I personally use the Razer Goliathus Speed Fragged Alpha Edition and I am perfectly satisfied with it. You won't make a mistake regardless of which of those two you choose. 👍

Razer also produces premium models that can reach prices upwards of $100+. You failed to mention what kind of budget you are actually working with 🙂

Exactly what I thought. Ivan, you completely threw me off the scent. 🙂
By the way, TDP represents the absolute peak power draw while the card is under full load, not just during your everyday tasks.
Overclocking (Main Thread) in Desktops ·
I assumed it was due to the thermal radar 😁
but I wasn't entirely certain about the CPU.

Pardon the off-topic detour: Benjamin King2, what motherboard and CPU are you running?

There isn't any Christmas discount coming 😬

My apologies, that was my mistake.
I could swear I read somewhere that the gtx 560 actually pulls more power.

rapidheron12, you have it backwards. The GTX 560 consumes barely any more power than the 6950.
Essentially, the difference is negligible.

You can certainly pair cards from the same series, such as a Radeon 6850 and a Radeon 6870.
Wireless mouse: Turn it off or leave it on? in Computer Peripherals ·
I don't bother turning mine off; I've actually had it since last summer. I haven't even replaced the battery once. To be fair, I don't use it much anymore, but they claim it lasts about eight months.
New monitors, new resolutions in Computer Peripherals ·
I own a Dell monitor that Nathan Reyes59 mentioned earlier, and I can confirm it is absolutely excellent.
I offer my full endorsement and nothing but praise.🙂

In my opinion, you're better off grabbing the 6850 rather than the GTX 460.

The debate regarding the promo is ongoing 😁
so, could a 6770 hold its own if paired with a more powerful processor?

Would the 6770 be capable of locking at 250?😁

Greetings.
I am sourcing a graphics card for a friend. I offered him $333.
He exclusively plays Call of Duty 4 and demands a 250 FPS lock.
The monitor is a 22-inch model with a native resolution of 1680x1050😳—I'm not entirely certain of the exact specs.
The power supply is either a Corsair VX 450 or a 550; I cannot be positive.
The system runs an Athlon X2 clocked at 2.1 GHz. Could a Radeon HD 6770 actually hit that 250 FPS target? It seems obvious to me that the CPU would act as a significant bottleneck, wouldn't it?

Bryan Evans77 said:that MSI 560 Ti isn't even available through the distributors right now...
they have the 570 and 580 TF2 instead, but the price tag is absolutely outrageous... 😲

Look, I know what they told me—it's simply not in stock at the distributors.😢

The problem is, I have no idea where you're even going to find two identical 6850s around here.
I was actually looking to pick up two MSI Twin Frozr 3 GTX 560 units, but they are nowhere to be found. I’ve checked other manufacturers like ASUS, but the market is completely dry.😢
