Thread of PC Woes, Troubles, Problems, and Issues

Trying to figure out if I should sell off my 560Ti and HD5970 and in return get one newer card, probably a mid-range.
 
Anyone have any experience with Windows 8.1 ? I am getting a SSD soon and not sure if i should upgrade to 8.1 or stick with 7 pro.

Depends on preference. Yes 8.1 is an upgrade on 8, but also depends on what you want to use it for.

I have 8 @ home and 7 @ office. I wish it was the other way around.

What SSD are you looking at, also keen to get one?

Not entirely sure, get them through the IT guys at work, he told me to wait a few weeks now cause the prices are dropping. I'm not really in a hurry. Looking at around a 256gb I think

You could also take a look at the Crucial MX100 series.
They offer better read/write speed than the ADATA, and similar to the Corsair.

This is the one I'd go for if I were in the market for a new drive:

As far as optimizing an SSD is concerned, check this website. He's got a section under each operating system with steps and tips to optimize SSDs.

Okay hardware kings of Mygaming, I need your help.

So, I currently have a Geforce 560TI in my machine at home, and a friend who bought 3 gigabyte R9 270x for mining is selling one of them that he never touched, he wants R2000 for it, is that a fair buy ? and is it a big enough upgrade from the 560 to justify me buying it ?

Thanks!

sounds like a good deal if you look at the current retail price

Just want to know how much of an upgrade it really is

Have to agree that the price looks really good.

On a performance note, looking around the nets, it seems to be quite a good upgrade. It makes metro last light playable at 1080p with high settings, BF4 at 1080p on ultra, though neither at 60fps, but that is still quite powerful for such a cheap card.

I would consider buying it if you're set at buying a GPU in that price range.

Well I've got the card with me, going to check it fits into my case cause its huge, wanna do a benchmark before & after also.
 
So without creating a new thread I thought rather just ask here: I am thinking of upgrading my PS4's hard drive from 500GB to 1TB. And as such was considering a hybrid as I just cannot afford an SSD. PS4 uses the 2.5" standard.

Does anyone have any experience with these drives and have any recommendations?

@Wlad installed one a short while ago. Maybe he could give us an update?
 
This may be more directed @Joker but anyone that has an opinion on it, please provide feedback.

So I've been playing Assetto Corsa a lot lately and obviously wanting to have it look fantastic but still playable. My question is related to Vertical Sync. Should this be a viable option. I know what it does, but can you give me a real world example that I would use it in?
It's one of those options I normally just leave alone (as default) or disable.

Vsync is almost always bad.
 
I am at wits end here.

If anyone here knows much about Dell Poweredge Servers (specifically R820 and R710) and familiar with VMware ESXi & vSphere please let me know.
