Displayport Flickering With Fury Nitro and Benq GW2765

I just picked up a new fury nitro and a Benq GW2765. I got the fury before the monitor came in and it powered my old monitor just fine over DVI. However, when I connect the new monitor to it over DP I am getting some serious flickering. https://youtu.be/26hmJ9oouZg I can connect it via DP to...

Civilization VI: Performance Analysis (Techpowerup)

This is a Civ game. Regardless of performance, it is going to take a year and a couple major patches to make it decent and then an expansion to make it a truly great game. Smart move is to wait until a steam sale for the base game, you will have a much better experience.

Need 2 Monitors

Thank you! That ASUS looks like what I am looking for. Now I just need to decide if I should go for it or wait until I settle on a gpu. Either way, you provided me a great frame of reference, much appreciated.

Need 2 Monitors

Bezels annoy me when a single image is split but I use each monitor independently so they do not bother me. What I like about my setup is that I can have a game on one monitor that is full screen windowed so I can just mouse over to the 2nd monitor that has its own taskbar so I can change...

Need 2 Monitors

To be honest I only have a basic understanding of TN vs IPS, never used them back to back to get a real feel for it. I have cheap TN panels now so that is what I am used to but open to anything really. As to an ultrawide, I had not considered one. Does windows treat it as 2 different...

Need 2 Monitors

I am in the market for 2 new monitors. I currently have 2 cheap 24 inch monitors that I have been using for a long time. I have never really put much thought into my monitor purchases, grabbing whatever was on sale that had acceptable reviews, without really understanding anything. Looking...

AMD Fires Back - Radeon RX 470 Review

It seems that the only point of the reference 480 design was to get a card out as cheaply as possible. With the 470 so close to the 480 I cannot help but think it would have made more sense for the 470 to get the cheap reference treatment and leave the 480 with no reference. I think 480...

A Third of Valve is Now Working on VR and the Next Generation of Headsets

Only experienced VR once, it was the one where you put the samsung phone into it. Within 5 minutes of walking around some level doing nothing I had incredible motion sickness. I am someone that can read for hours straight in a car and have never felt something like it before. I took off the...

[Steam Blog] Total War: Warhammer - pixel-edge MSAA, 64-bit, Compute Shaders and DX12

I buy almost every Total War game but I wait until a steam sale. The games usually need a few months of patches.

Windows 10 install problems

I have been updating my personal+business computers the last few days. Have tried 5 upgrades. 3 of them were 8.1 -> 10 and they all worked flawlessly. The other 2 machines are 7 and neither will upgrade properly. One of them has the update ready to go and anytime you tell it to start...

[Kitguru ] AMDs partners cannot get enough Radeon R9 Fury graphics cards

Except that they have allegedly hit an issue. It is being reported that AMD can get all the HBM2 they want before NVIDIA. We also do not know if NVIDIA is paying any licensing costs. Here is a video by AMD, so take it with a huge grain of salt. In it they say they started work on HBM in...

[Kitguru ] AMDs partners cannot get enough Radeon R9 Fury graphics cards

It was developed jointly between AMD and Hynix from all the information that I have seen. I have no idea what sort of arrangement they have as far as ownership of IP, but from a couple google searches it is speculated that AMD owns some amount of the IP.

AMD being smart about who gets a review sample

Fair is fair, I agree with this. Especially since AMD did not point to any specific incident. Having seen the video that was linked later I can kind of understand the decision. However, this is an incredibly risky move from AMD and I think their generic response about sending it to places...

MSI RMA is offering me $130 for my 3 year old GTX 670

I would be pretty happy to take the $150, I think that is a very fair amount.

MSI RMA is offering me $130 for my 3 year old GTX 670

For a card that old I would much rather have the money, even if it is not enough to get an equally performing card. A quick look at used cards on ebay suggests it is in the realm of a fair price, maybe a tad of the low side. Personally, I would try to get a couple more bucks out of them and...
