    Yes I think as a noobie computer person doing these kinds of things is probably going down the wrong road - trs suggested me a great graphics card and I think I will end up getting one of those after doing more research about GPUs - that is a wonderful solution at a great price!! and also will...

    Yes I was looking through the GPU recommendations in the buying guide after your posts and saw that some required no drivers (best solution for someone like me) but didnt know what was the best value one to get - saw that a lot of GPUs are 300-500 now (i guess because of crypto and the GPU price...

    Help! Sierra Build Working for 4+ Yrs Suddenly Boots to Severe Screen Distortion

    Does that entail going to my BIOS and switching initial display output to IGFX, unplugging my nvidia card, and plugging my HDMI to the motherboard HDMI port - and it will still be able to display at 2560 x 1440 resolution? When the computer boots without the NVIDIA web driver and its like 720p...

    so this crashing is happening due to expired certificates from the web drivers? a lot of the programs I have are stable in the Sierra that I have now and do not really have any desire to update from this OS, but if getting AMD graphics card would solve this problem I will totally consider as...
