Monti

Ha, I would be using VSR on my system but everything gets blurry.

That sounds terrible

I feel that 144hz doesn't have too many use cases outside of gaming and even in gaming I will need a beefy GPU to play at 144hz. What 1440p monitor do you have? AMD has their own DSR. I think it is called VSR but I could be wrong.

I recently upgraded my system and was looking into a new monitor. I can't decide between 1440p or 1080p 144hz. I have a AMD 390 and a 400 - 450 USD budget. I play mostly single player games (RPG, Strategy) and the only FPS game I play is CSGO (I play at least 6 hours of CSGO a week). I was leaning on the side of 1440 because I don't play fast paced/FPS games. What do you think? Any help is appreciated.

Hey linustechtips I have a problem I need help with. I was helped build a pc for one of my friends and ever since I built it he has been having BSOD. He left for a few weeks and gave me the computer to fix the problems. The errors I get are ntoskrnl.exe and I have never dealt with this error before. I added the prefmon /report file and the dump file. His system specs Intel i7 -4790k Asrock z97 extreme 6 16 GB of G-Skill 1866 Ram Shapphire R9 280 3gb Intel 730 128gb ssd Seasonic m12 II 620 watts OS - Windows 8.1 Pro which I reinstalled a few weeks ago and he put all of this software back on their All of these parts are less than 6 months old and the problems arised a few days after it was built.

Your room must be super dusty. I gotta clean my computer every month or so

I guess I will just save for a better GPU. Thanks for helping me make a choice

That is what I was beginning to think. If I don't sell the 7870 it would be 130 usd for 5-10 more fps in games. But everyone likes more fps

I'm not in need of any gpu but I saw the 760 (reference btw) for 130 and I got interested. I don't think any gpu around 150 usd is going to beat my 7870. I knew a second 7870 would be more than a 760. The 760 is only 130 USD so it would be less then buying a decent mid range GPU.

hey linustechtips people I got a question that I think I know the answer to but I want you guy's opinion. I was looking on microcenters website and I saw a used 760 for 130 usd. I know it is better than my current 7870 but then I had another idea. What if I crossfired my 7870. It would only be 20 use more for a second 7870. Then I realized that I would have to get a new power supply because I don't think 600 watt is enough. But is it possible to run 2 7870s off of a corsair cx600? Or should I just get the 760? Or get neither? What do you guys think.

i sent you a steam invite

I could and I'm silver 2

That is some great cable management. I can not get my cables to look good and not like I have to with a case with no windows. Also love the progression of Athena!!!

You commented right after I sent my post. Good thing we think alike. Still know my tech! I love my 8320. It does everything I want it to do. Granted I don't play newer titles because they seem to all have problems. If your friend plays games that like lots of cores then maybe it would be good. But and i3 has 2 cores 4 threads and even better would be a i5 but it is more money
