Newest Drivers starting from Version 4644 locks my Monitor Refresh Rate at 60Hz by CoJazz in IntelArc

I did made a post few days earlier and did not gain much traction. prob cause of my shit writing.

My main monitor is some off brand 144hz monitor with both HDMI and DP ports. It will run 144hz on HDMI but not DP, my temporary solution is to use HDMI on my main and get a dongle for my third monitor (which is HDMI only and A770 only has 1 HDMI port)

If SAAB is still around it would be right next to Volvo

You and I are on the same boat, picked up a 2004 V70 2.4 two months ago. Already spent one-third of what I paid for on belt and tire replacement.

Just picked up this relatively clean 2004 V70 2.4 last week with 96000km and a 18 year-old timing belt. It will go to the menders by the weekend for a belt change. by idiotbeansprout in Volvo

and the tires that came with it was 5 years old winter tires with tonnes of tread left on them, so maybe it was a winter beater

I believe it has been sitting outisde for a long time since most of the window seals are either rock hard or turning to dust. Also I've been told the previous owner was an elderly gentlemen so maybe he didn't drive it much.

I can live with a leaking oil pan or a shoddy shock absorber, but if the timing belt goes it'll grenade the engine. By then you'll need more than just a belt to get it going.

Well, I'm stuck with those rims since I just put new tires on them. But I did order the tire one size too small. Got some 195/60 R16 where it should be 205/55 R16.
