A:AnswerHello Henry, It would be a mix of both as you would be able to easily take out the old one and put in the new one. However you do have to download the drivers for the new video card and uninstall your old drivers. It typically is not a complicated process. Thank you!
A:AnswerHello Exterminated. Thanks for your question! It is not a dumb question at all.
Behind the computer on the Graphics Card there are multiple display ports. They range from HDMI, DVI-D, VGA, DisplayPort, etc. Any monitor will work as long as you have the appropriate cable to connect the two. Even a TV could work.

A:AnswerHey Devin,
Make sure your display output is plugged into the Video Card(graphics card), and not the motherboard.

A:AnswerCheap. I would upgrade for gaming. The scroll wheel on my mouse was broken out of the box and the keyboard seems really cheap. However, the desktop itself is really good and worth the purchase.
A:Answeron 1080p I cap mine at 144 because I don't my gpu at 100 percent for the hours im playing. without the cap I get 300+ FPS. if you turn off shadows in any game your fps increases. by turning things like shadows and whatnot to the lowest you can get high fps. set everything to the lowest and turn on the things you want and your fps will be very good. with everything on the highest in settings you will get 90-100 fps.
A:AnswerHi Ross,
This PC is great for a starter PC. You will also be able to hook it up to a samsung TV as long as you have an HDMI cable. The PC will work out the box, however, if you plan to upgrade parts please make sure the parts are compatible.
Thank you!
A:Answerthe card that comes with this PC is a GTX 1060 3 GB, its good enough for majority of user needs but is severely limited by its VRAM being only 3GB, I agree you should upgrade, I recommend a GTX 1060 6GB or GTX 1070 8GB, I dont see a need for bleeding edge 1080's, dual carding, or more extreme cards like titans, I do NOT recommend getting anything made by AMD who is the competitor of GTX/NVIDIA, most games are optimized for NVIDIA and AMDs are unstable and crash often.
IMPORTANT: I DO NOT recommend upgrading your graphics card right now, right now prices for graphics cards are still high but next month NVIDIA is releasing the 1100 and 2000 series of graphics cards making current gen 1000 series previous gen and dropping their current price substantially, you can also pick up a graphics card used off of ebay next month when everyones selling their 1000 series in favor of the new cards, used graphics cards are not a shot in the dark as they are the highest quality component in a PC next to the CPU, another thing to consider is that people who sell a good card to buy bleeding edge usually means the GPU wasnt overworked cuz the other components are also bleeding edge and also not very old
A:AnswerAccording to reviews of the graphics card in this system, it should get about 60 FPS for Fortnite, which I've been only playing for about 2 weeks on this computer, and it is working great. I would make sure to pay attention to the monitor you purchase as well. I got an ASUS monitor with 140 Ghz to refresh really fast.
A:AnswerHey Alex,
We have a GTX 1080 version of this model. It is called the Trace941. That model should have all the proper accomodations.
If upgrading just the graphics card is all you are after, we recommend upgrade the power supply to a higher wattage. This is because a GTX 1080 requires more power to operate.

A:AnswerThe computer does NOT come with a CD/DVD drive which is frustrating as there are installation disks. You can buy an external one or just copy the files onto a flash drive from another computer onto this one.
A:AnswerAll you would need to do is remove the bubble wrap inside the pc, which is pretty easy and shouldn’t take longer than a minute or two. After that just connect to the cables to your monitor and pc and it’s ready to play. It does not come with a HDMI cable or monitor. It does however come with a mouse and gaming keyboard.
A:AnswerHey Robby,
Behind the back panel, in the lower corner, there is a space for trays for HDDs.

A:AnswerThere is a WiFi connector in the case, however it isn’t a great model, but the upside is it’s easily replaceable. When I purchased this particular model I read that it’s wifi capabilities were questionable at best, so I planned ahead for this.
A:AnswerI have the same pc and stream all the time with it my game runs 120+ FPS all the time and the stream at 60 FPS I use streamlabs obs but make sure you go into settings and find the optimize pc for obs and it’ll get the best settings for your stream depending on your specs
