Question Replacing Acer XB270HU

So I've got an Acer XB270HU which was the OG badass G-Sync IPS monitor (1440p, 144 Hz etc). It's still a great display but I have a couple of issues: 1) I have to run it through a KVM so I can swap between my work machine and personal machine. I have a level1techs DP KVM that does work pretty...

Question DisplayPort KVM that plays nice with 1440p 144 Hz G-Sync?

I just bought one of them actually :) I tried one from Aten and one from Startech. The former failed to maintain refresh rates and the latter had usb glitches sometimes with my mouse. Hoping the Level1Techs is as good as everyone says!

Question DisplayPort KVM that plays nice with 1440p 144 Hz G-Sync?

I found that by using short 1.5 / 1 meter cables certified for HBR3 aka DP 1.4 I could get a stable connection. Mostly. Some occasional issues with fallback to 85 Hz remained.

Question DisplayPort KVM for 1440p 144 Hz G-Sync?

Hey folks, I'm trying to share my Acer XB270HU 1440p 144 Hz GSync display between two PCs. I need max quality / low latency, so a DisplayPort KVM is the only option. I bought an ATEN CS782DP and while it does work it cannot reliably hold 144 Hz, it frequently falls back to 85 Hz. Per their...

Question Make me a recommendation!

I've adapted, and the Steelseries 310 is great! I ended up getting one for work too.

Question Make me a recommendation!

Welp, I went and got one of those today and it has the same "inverted pinky" feel as the Corsair. It's not that bad, but I really prefer the IME 3.0. Any other suggestions?

Question Make me a recommendation!

Hey friends! I've been a total die-hard Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 guy for as long as I can remember. My current model at home has started to wear out, especially the notchy middle wheel. Can you make a recommendation? I've tried a Corsair M65 which everyone raves about and I really didn't...

Question Case recommendations - high quality modern mid tower

Hey friends, I currently have a Corsair 650D. It's super well made, and a pleasure to work in, but it's an old design. No USB 3 front ports is a major issue, and overall I think this case is bigger / heavier than I need. I have a small water cooler today (Corsair H80i v2) but see myself...

G-Sync and fullscreen video problems

Hey folks, So I've got a GTX 770 and an Acer XB270HU. I absolutely love it for gaming - it's a huge improvement over vsync. However, it has issues when playing fullscreen video. I know this is related to gsync because it's only enabled when you go fullscreen. The issue is that video...

GTX 780 and Corsair HX 520?

Hi guys! I'm a few generations behind in my GPU. I currently have a GTX 460, and it's fine for most things. However, I'm anticipating getting a 2560x1440 27" display soon, and am already forced to play most new games on medium settings, so I think a heavy upgrade is in order. The GTX 780...

Just how do ATI / AMD video cards do deinterlacing?

How do you do playback? Try using Media Player Classic, with ffdshow doing the decoding, and EVR-CP renderer. This shouldn't deinterlace by default... If you then use CCC to force 1080i, your TV should handle things.

Netflix streaming quality

Netflix uses several different adaptive bitrate streaming systems. The idea in all these systems is to have a given movie available in many different quality levels, and switch adaptively between them according to network conditions, so as to maximize the quality of service. In other words, to...

Does anyone use the EMU 0404 USB? how bout with W7 x64?

I had the 0202 and ran on 64 bit Vista for a couple of years. I believe the 0404 uses the same package. There was occasionally some weirdness when it wouldn't detect properly, but usually unplugging / reconnecting the usb cable fixed that. It was when vista 64 was still pretty fresh to be...
