    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...

    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...

    Places to buy hard drives in quantity (200+)

    Hey all, I need to buy a bunch (about 200) of 2TB hard drives, ideally Hitachi or similar 7200 RPM style. The WD Green / other 5200 / variable RPM speed drives don't handle multitasking well, and cause performance issues for my application (multiple simultaneous video encodes) Can any one...

    Software to log file transfers to/from removable devices?

    OpenSolaris Dead?

    Kernel CIFS + ZFS makes for a mean storage box. Look at NexentaStor! I have 12TB powered by the community edition and it's utterly unstoppable was insanely easy to set up. Blows my old FreeNAS box out of the water, especially when it comes to out-of-the-box support for standard enterprise hardware.

    Projector Image Tearing - Determing the source!

    Look into using Media Player Classic - Home Cinema for playing media on your PC. Try both 24hz and 60hz refresh rates with this. There is lots of info on doom9 out there about tweaking it for various setups. There's a LOT of stuff to tweak if you really want to. I just use defaults for the EVR...

    HDTV + No Cable Box = What are my options?

    True. In practice, however, you'll probably get most of your package. The big issue with ClearQAM is that you have to build your own channel map, which is a TOTAL nightmare :) I'd suggest hooking up the cable box if at all possible

    help me keep my esata HDD from spinning down

    Hey guys, SO I have a 1TB Caviar black for my OS drive, and a pair of Seagate 1.5TB 7200.11 drives for data. One of these is internal on my Intel ICH10R, and the other is hooked up via eSATA to the JMicron controller. Performance is fine, hotswap works great, no problems there. The only...

    Weak Cable or something else?

    There should never be RG-59 coming into your splitter. That's a problem on their end AFAIK, and they should come in and run a new drop for you. Derek

    Shooting RAW

    RAW doesn't let you change EVERYTHING during developing work. It gives you more dynamic range to work with, and lets you adjust the white balance. You can't change focal length, focus, ISO setting, or exposure obviously :) @JimKiller - contrast is usually just the white point. When shooting...

    No video occasionally when rebooting

    Yup... save for an i7 :) My G0 Q6600 is still churning along happily, but it gets bitch-slapped by my new Q820M Core i7 powered Dell Precision laptop ;) It's like 20% faster for x264 encoding. ~MiSfit

    Windows Storage Server 2008 - Thoughts?

    Hey guys, I'm looking at a few different solutions for a massive storage system. We're STARTING with 1 PB, and probably moving towards 2-3 in the next year or two. In terms of cost, you can get bare 3.5" drives for about $75k. Building a bunch of BackBlaze pods can get it all done for...

    PC to high end stereo

    Forget about S/PDIF. You don't get anything beyond 16/48 on that in it's consumer implementation. It's big brother AES/EBU will scale up a lot higher, but gear to connect to that is beyond the audiophile domain, and into (post)production, pro-audio type stuff. So, if you do have anything...

    Upgrade advice: Dell Optiplex GX 620

    +1 on get a new box. You won't save much by re-using your existing case. You're out, what - $100-150 for a case / power supply? Plus you get better airflow and no worries about whether or not your Dell IO cable will work. You can build a socket 1156 Core i7 box for surprisingly cheap these...

    Need help for new build

    Yes, the 180 series is fantastic, and has excellent airflow, especially when the Antec TriCool fans are replaced with something with a better CFM/Noise ratio. If you really must have CrossFire + eyefinity, then I'd go balls out and get 2 5870s. I'd say drop the SSD if you game more than you do...

    Ultra CHeap WOW rig.

    Correct. WOW does not multithread very much at all. I have a stock Q6600 and a Radeon 4830, driving 1920x1200 with 4xAA and I get excellent FPS everywhere except 25 man raids and Dalaran. Raids will drop below 30fps on heavy encounters, and Dalaran is a wash, but that's no problem. Getting...

    Got a DUI back in September, costing me $$$ in insurance

    Yeah. Don't get a DUI. Even if you're lucky like me, and get a good lawyer who talks it down to a wet reckless (thus saving you $8k in fines), you still get totally screwed by having this on your driving record. I'll be a very high risk driver for years. Basically, I can't finance a car for...

    Got a DUI back in September, costing me $$$ in insurance

    Looks like I can get stripped down insurance for ~$300 per month from Geico or Progressive. AAA won't go under $500 :O If I owned this damn car I could insure it for $100 per month. Looks like I'm going to keep the stupid thing, and just bite the bullet on insurance >< ~MiSfit

    Got a DUI back in September, costing me $$$ in insurance

    Thanks for the judgements, guys :P Getting a DUI is very stupid, and I'm really not proud of it. Do consider that had I been pulled over 20 minutes earlier I would have passed, since I was at exactly the legal limit (.08) That's not the point of this discussion however. To answer the...
