BFV Connection issue

So I bought a new laptop on Black Friday. It's an MSI GL63 8RE-629. So it's got a Core i7 8750H, 16GB DDR4, 6GB GTX 1060, 128GB SSD and 1TB 7200 RPM HDD. I'm very happy with it except for one problem. The lag in Battlefield V is atrocious and I can't figure out why. My pings are showing 192...

Does anyone by chance have a spare AMD Phenom (Original, not II) case sticker that they'd be willing to send me?

HELP! Computer No Longer Powers Up

Hey guys, I was hoping that someone could give me a hand with this problem that I'm having. So I cracked open my brother's computer case today to add an additional WD IDE HDD. I followed all of the usual procedures, including unplugging everything and discharging all of my static...

Which speaker should I get?

X-230s are better than the X-240s...better sound, especially because of the 240's pointing towards the ground tends to muffle the sound. But, any Logitech speakers are great...even my 12W R-20s give great sound considering I paid only $15 for them.

8800GTS Question?

I've got a similar rig (see Shadowhawk in the sig) with no apparent bottlenecks.

Factory overclocks ruining PC gaming?

Harder than you realize, actually. My 8800 GTS was ordered not as an OC'd version, but when I stuck it into my machine and used the nVidia MonitorView software, I found out that my card was already OC'd to eVGA's "Superclocked" speeds, despite the fact that that generally costs a bit more (not...

Crysis single player demo

Personally, I thought the demo was pretty good and really quite fun to play. I had most settings on Very High (with the exception of Post-processing and Particle, which were on High) and the game ran smoothly through the whole thing. I'm really looking forward to it.

My 9700 Pro died tonight. Suggest a replacement.

I did the same exact thing when I built Shadowhawk in June.

PC 8500 Ram MUCH faster then PC 6400?

Something's wrong with that...there should be no problems running at that res with everything maxed. I know my system has zero problems with BF2 at 1280x1024, and my processor isn't nearly as fast as yours.

OpenOffice or Microsoft Office?

I'm using both OOo and MS Office because my laptop's HDD died and I don't have my Office CD to reinstall with me at Duke. OOo takes some getting used to, but I haven't had any major problems with it. That being said, I still prefer Office 2003, but mostly because I'm used to it.

Knife Badge in BF2

Knife kills aren't that hard...I have an expert badge myself...though I do remember that trying to get the Basic one drove me nuts...best solution is to try and get in behind them when they don't notice, turn on speed boost and knife them from behind...this works very well at CPs and against...

Best AGP card now?

I'm pretty sure they wanted 30A on the 12V rail which means you'd need a new PSU.
