Question Buying a new rig, need input on CPU

I'm just about to pull the trigger on a major upgrade. My workload is 99% photo editing (Lightroom and Photoshop) and office stuff. Currently I'm running 1st generation i7-930 on Asus P6X58D-E, 24 GB. Crikey slow in editing over time. I'm looking a i5-9600K on MSI Z390-A Pro, 32GB. But now...

Is the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti DirectX 12 ZT-P10510A-10L compatible with my ASUS P6X58D-E mobo?

Thanks, Stuka87. My current vid card is a GeForce GTX 250 with 1GB, about 8 years old. Even though it works Adobe doesn't list is as supported anymore, so I was looking to see if I could future proof my Lightroom as they add more GPU specific tasks. If I'm wrong I'm glad because it will mean...

I'm looking to upgrade my vid card for Adobe Lightroom. I currently have an old mobo, noted in title and Newegg has the Zotac on sale. Will it work and is it a good value for my non-gaming workflow? thanks.

Question Is this upgrade worth it in terms of performance increase?

That's really interesting. I would have to find someone to do that replacement for me. By the by, my cooler is a SCYTHE, Mugen-2 Rev.B (SCMG-2100) CPU Cooler, Socket Socket 1156/1366/775/478/AM3/AM2/939/940/754, Copper/Aluminum. It's huge. When I went from 12 to 24Gb the new RAM...

Thanks, guys. I have an ASUS P6X58-D mobo. I couldn't tell if the Xeon would fit that socket. Open to more ideas, too.

Question Is this upgrade worth it in terms of performance increase?

I'm currently running an 8 year old rig: i7-930, Asus mobo, 24Gb, Geforce 250, 2-SSDs, 4-HDDS, 650W power supply. I don't do gaming, mostly Lightroom and Photoshop. I got a ballpark estimate from my local shop to upgrade to a i7-8700, upgrade to DDR4 - but only 16Gb, Geforce 1050 Ti for around...

6 months after Win10 upgrade and I still cannot access card readers

Thanks, Elixer and balloonshark, my confusion, unlike the person on the MS link was that I had used the Win10 compatibility tool and it said I was compatible. I'll have to check to see if automatic driver updates is active. sure is a PITA.

6 months after Win10 upgrade and I still cannot access card readers

I'm really wondering if I should start all over again with Win7. Six months ago I upgraded to Win10. Since then I have never been able to access my internal card reader. My system also would not recognize a USB attached external card reader. Sometimes if I ran the hardware trouble shooter the...

Do I need to upgrade?

Wow. Thanks, guys. I'm running it stock right now but I do have a SCYTHE, Mugen-2 Rev.B (SCMG-2100) CPU Cooler. Big honking thing. I can actually run without a CPU fan with just the radiant fins on this thing, though definitely not a good idea. I haven't tried OC yet, valuing stability over...

Do I need to upgrade?

I've been a member a long time, but haven't posted in a few years owing to work commitments. My rig is four years old, albeit with a bunch of upgrades over the years. My main use is for photo editing (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) followed by business applications. No gaming. I may go into...

Arbitrary changes in file access in Win 7 64 bit

Thanks, Gooberlx2. I am not using Media Center Extender. As far as permissions go, I simply don't get them in Win7. I used to some Unix long ago and I thought I understood something about XP, but Win7 has me completely perplexed. The images I was trying to edit have Everyone having Full...

Arbitrary changes in file access in Win 7 64 bit

Update. As trial measure I took ownership of one of the image folders, even though I am in an Admin user account. Now I am able to edit in that folder. I did NOT take ownership of another image folder, although I am now able to edit images in that folder without error messages. OTOH, when I...
