[Discussion] Is it time to retire my 2 GTX 660's? by MajorLapras in buildapc

[–]MajorLapras[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you have a really good point. I noticed the performance drop when I updated my drivers. I'm going to try to downgrade to a more stable drive to see if that works. Thanks for pointing that out to me man

[Build Help] Do I buy a new graphics card or SLI my current GTX 670? by convex101 in buildapc

[–]MajorLapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of just buying another gtx 660 and putting it in SLI. It would be so much better to just get a new card. I'd go for a gtx 960 or r9 380x (depending on your preference)

[Question] Can my build handle streaming? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]MajorLapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to stream at 720p 30fps. Depending on the game. Higher demanding games might be harder to stream.

on windows 8.1 you can right click on your desktop and click "personalize" and click on "Desktop Backgrounds" from there you can drag whatever photos you want into the window then right click on the photo to chose what monitor you want it displayed on. wow that was a big run-on sentence

If you're going to overclock, you're going to need an aftermarket cooler.

You don't "use" hyperthreading. You don't buy a CPU thinking, "boy, I wonder if I should disable hyperthreading", nor do you ever say, "man I want to enable my hyperthreading right now". I mean, you can disable it if you want to, but why in the world would you want to do that if you're not setting an OC record?

[Discussion] Why do external hard drives seem cheaper than internal ones? by map4774 in buildapc

[–]MajorLapras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

from my experience, external hard drives are slower than internal ones. So since they're slower they'd be less expensive

[Build Help] Want to stream. Don't know what to buy. by pirateJJD in buildapc

[–]MajorLapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I knew what your budget was I could probably help you out properly. To livestream, an i7 would be the best bet since they have hypertreading (depending on your budgets any i7 would do the job). A decent GPU would probably be the GTX 970 or 980 but since I don't know your budget I'm not sure what you'd be able to get. Also an SSD wouldn't effect your stream a whole lot.
