I have a bunch of versions on my NAS up to 3.5.10 why did intel release so many versions for this tool ? I have checked out the history from the PDF file and there seems to be a new version for each new firmware update. I wonder if the firmware updates are integrated into the tool or are they …

why exactly would one need Intel SSD Toolbox for other than updating firmware? I have to agree. I installed and tested the mainstream SSD utilities for (intel, samsung, kingston, ADATA, seatools....etc ) the only one I like the most is the samsung Magician which allows you to boost the SSD …

I don't like the classic look of the ATI Catalyst program tool 14.4 isn't there a better looking alternative for WinXP ?

For various reasons. For example, the GT 730 officially supports Windows XP, while the GT 1030 has no such support. it would just be easier to develop drivers for the GT 1030 ( or whatever budget graphic card that uses the current chips) than keep up another production lineup based on old …

I got the passively-cooled GT 710 GDDR5 for. Even a lowly Radeon HD 6450 gets too hot in there. I am not a fan of passive cooling heat sinks.... as you can basically fry on egg on them a good low rpm fan is pretty unnoticeable except when playing games but the speaker sound will make the noise …

Maybe because GT 710 is such a low-end card. I have had the GT 210 and 520 and they are crap cards for gaming in my opinion the built-in intel HD 3000 or AMD HD 3000 graphics perform equally well or even better I fail to understand why the GT 730 (2014) is still available for sale in the computer …

Problem with Haswell is it never officially supported XP so none of the Haswell motherboards have XP drivers listed on their official websites. official drivers executable file does exist despite not being available for download from mobo makers webpage (the ASUS B85M variant is probably an …

As for the memory. Is GDDR3 a thing there? Should it not hold either GDDR5 (a little faster) or DDR3 (cheaper). Having an extra GB would not hurt. Yes it's DDR3 but HWiNFO64 displays it as GDDR3 and all other cards that feature more than 2GB of RAM are suceptible to be fake because they are mostly …

From what I see in the TechPowerUp spec sheets It is all practically the same or remarkably similar to the HD7750. I have just checked it out with HWiNFO64 and it displays HD7750/R7 250E https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-r7-250e.c2559 there are two variants for either of them so you can …
