Hey everyone, I just recently put together a new computer. Now, here are the specs--
Pentium G3220 CPU
R9 270 GPU
MSI H81i Mini-ITX Motherboard
Hitachi HDD from my old laptop
Now I know the pentium is a bit of a bottleneck on the GPU, but I found the R9 for $100 and bought it before someone else did. Anyways, the problem I am having is that the computer is acting really weirdly. The monitor's resolution is locked at 800 x 680 (I think) even though it is using an HDMI v1.4 adapter and the monitor is 1080p capable. What I believe is happening is that the old drivers are clashing with the new hardware and causing the PC to barf all over me trying to get it to work. I tried downloading the drivers onto a USB since my new computer doesn't have an Optical Drive (didn't think I needed one). However, it won't even recognize that the USB is there. Any help would be appreciated!
