Well they aren't the most stylish, but I really enjoyed these when I had them. https://m.newegg.com/products/9SIA6ZP3MK4848 The mid range wasn't the greatest, but hi and low frequency ranges were great. I used a small pre-amp and it was cleared up. Very loud for gaming and movies. I may buy...

Upgrading ram in a laptop is as easy as pie. just go with 8 until your computer chokes then upgrade when required.

I suppose that depends how long you plan to save money for. I mean really 3 months from now prices may vary wildly. Have you Considered that a 390 may be a better option as it lands between the two cards? Mind you all options require a better power supply.

Well, get the 970 and a non crap psu is my suggestion. If you had decent enough power supply and had the extra 100 dollars I would aim you at the 980

Without being obtuse, did you actually check the ram usage?

It's likely due to the extreme amount of ram used by chrome, it really is a ram hog, which is usually why it seems so much faster. Firefox all the way.

Here you go, I have them. I love them and the price is right. I figured the vibration feature would get annoying, it hasn't. You can fully disable that feature as well. The have a long cable. The sound quality is far above what one would expect for the price...

If the disc came from somewhere you do not trust don't put it in your computer

Logitech z 623, it fits your budget and is loud enough to get the cops called. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=logitech+623&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Alogitech+623 If you were looking to spend less the logitech z523 is what I had for gaming...

try down sampling 1080P while gaming to 1366. It might help. I can't actually give a solid piece of advice, it kinda sounds like that laptop is a consumer trap, it will likely play movies at 4k or give 5 fps on high settings, try low settings in most games @ 4k. Work them back up to maintain a...

How is it that 4k is too much for the 960M. Do you mean in games? You really just change the settings in game.

I believe he was trying to say casual gaming laptop...... I only opened the thread to confirm that The laptop linked by vlxedits is pretty darn good.

Well I'm looking at the realtek audio manager and the option to change 5.1 to stereo is on the left hand side of the initial screen where you choose the audio output device.

what software are u using to manage sound? I'd advise you set it to stereo.

Check how you are outputting over that connection in the control panel. Confirm the source material is actually surround and in 6.1 which is the max output for the amp. Most of what is sold is either 5.1 or 7.1 . Lastly check the application used to play the media, make sure it is set for surround.
