hey guys a few questions, so i have my 144hz asus 24" monitor now and im playing cs:go but sometimes my FPS dip below 144 and it gets a bit laggy.. i feel like this shouldnt happend with my current pc (4670 + 660 2x4gb 1600 ram) but it does. im playing on low settings so my pc should be able to handle this?? would overclocking help?? could there be other factors i have to look at ?? im confused and dont really know what the bottleneck is
Make sure VSync is off or set to "adaptive" in the NVIDIA settings. If normal VSync is on, the FPS can only lock to several steps: 144, 72, 48, 36 (if I understood it right). So what happens might be that you're noticing that drop to 72 fps because of the PC not managing to stay above 144 FPS for some random reason.
I don't know how CS:Go works and what FPS to expect, but there's pretty much no upgrade possible from that CPU you have currently.

I bet it's something else, nothing about your hardware. I don't know how to diagnose that. Just do the usual... make sure barely any programs are running in the background (like Skype etc.), try different driver versions for graphics, update board and audio and network drivers.
Before you do too much work about this, perhaps wait for someone else with 120/144Hz monitor to confirm that it's possible for cs:go to run excellent, super smooth at all times. It might just be the game being programmed a little shitty, idk.

No all my friends use this monitor or the benq one 144hz and no problems at all.

FRAPS benchmark (if you check the frametimes option) might show something, if you wanna take a look there. I would, but i probably do lots of wasteful/unhelpful stuff.

Thanks for the advice by the way, I appreciate it.

What I need help with is about PSU requirements. I am currently using an OCZ fatal1ty 550Watt Psu. Which provides 450 Watts on dual 12v rails. Will that provide enough power? I ran the numbers on that PSU calculator site and it came in with 447 watts recommended. so just under. However a bit tech review on the card recommended a 700 Watt PSU for that setup. I also have a 700 Watt Coolermaster Extreme Power plus that I have never used due to hearing bad things about it. Would that be OK if the OCZ is not up to task? Finally if neither of those PSU's present a reliable option is THIS an ok replacement? What's your CPU? Are you running stuff stock?
i7 950 stock.

Posted in this thread earlier but back then I forgot to respond so I'm going to post again. This time, I promise to respond.
I'm frequently getting blue screen of death on my comp. I didn't think much of it since my computer always does this once ever couple of months, but now it's happening way too frequently so I need to call out for help.
A little background on my computer:
This computer was handmade by my friend. He bought the parts for me, and then I watched as he assembled all the parts together. The only thing he didn't buy was the hard drive. He just took the old hard drive from my previous computer and added it to this one.
I think this is a huge issue. Since my friend was the one who built this comp and since I am tech illiterate, I think it will be difficult for me to figure out what's wrong with my computer since I wasn't the one who assembled it.
Then this happened. 2 years ago, I accidentally clicked "Accept" when I received a warning notice about a possible virus trying to enter the comp. I was trying to hit "Deny Access" but I clicked the wrong thing. Next thing I know, my computer goes *poof* shuts down on me, and I couldn't even start it back up.
I took it to Geek Squad to see if they could fix it. After about 2 and a half weeks, I got a call from Geek Squad letting me know that everything was fixed and the computer was good to go. They told me that the virus my computer got was really freaking nasty and that it took quite some effort to get rid of it.
A couple weeks after that, I got the blue screen of death again. I got a little scared that maybe my computer was reverting back to the virus stages, but then I kind of shrugged it off since it didn't happen again for a long time.
Ever since then, my computer got the blue screen of death every couple of months or so. Since it wasn't a frequent occurrence, I didn't really think much of it.
However, recently my computer has been getting BSOD way too often. It's gotten to the point where I get BSOD every single day now.
I tried Googling stuff to see if I could fix it on my own, but the biggest issue with BSOD is that there is no way to know exactly what causes it. So I'm not really sure what I need to do. I'm hoping TL tech geniuses will be able to help me out here 
EDIT: Oh one more thing. I've vacuumed the inside of my computer twice. I did it because I wanted to get rid of all the dust accumulating in there. Could that be a part of the issue? I was curious so I Googled it after the second time and I read responses about how you shouldn't vacuum the inside of your computer because it could damage the parts in there.

Download the program "BlueScreenView".
The top half of its window shows a list of recorded BSODs on your Windows. When you click on one, the lower half shows what drivers were loaded inside the Windows kernel. If you are lucky, there will be some lines highlighted with colorful background. Those are drivers that were active at the time of the BSOD.
The next step would be, you google for the file names mentioned in those colored lines to see what hardware is tied to those drivers. You can then try to search for different driver versions for that hardware device to maybe fix your problems.
You shouldn't use the vacuum cleaner inside your case. If it works a little like mine, it'll produce static charge on its casing and your body, which can't be good working inside the PC case. Also simply the force it sucks with can be dangerous, destroy fans and stuff. I guess the safe way to clean things is just brushing and wiping and buying a can of compressed air for the CPU and GPU's coolers.

Just for some resolution to my question. I tried crossfire R9 270x's with my 550Watt Ocz fatality and it went fine. Tested with Furmark and Prime 95.

does anyone know of a value for money mic that I could get for gaming, skyping etc
Would love to get one while cyber monday sales are on-going.
|
Good value hardly comes with prebuilts and that prebuilt is not a good value.
|

|
Best "pre-built" value you can get usually involves selecting your own parts and then opting (paying) for the retailer to assemble it for you (something I believe NCIX offers).

Thank you very much for your response. I'll try to do this to the best of my abilities.
Any other suggestions that could help me figure out what is wrong with my comp?

when i look at GPU's for the dvi ports, every GPU either
2x DVI
or
1x DVI-I
1x DVI-D
what is the difference?
|
DVI-I is analog / digital, DVI-D is digital. DVI is lazy form because consumers are stupid or don't care.
|
To be fair, most consumers won't need the analog capability.

It's useful though; like i said before i have like three analog monitors that are useful as non-primary monitors for a few systems (though can you do that from integrated graphics?)
