smelly cabin filter posted:After watching this video it looks like the only way to do this would be to use the two dvi outputs to drive the monitors and a displayport to hdmi adapter for the projector? Is this possible or am I just getting it all wrong? Pretty much any combination of ports will work. A single DP can drive multiple displays if they support DP 1.2 (tends to be finicky in terms of compatibility), and DVI - HDMI adapters are available as well (work on any DVI port, but no audio with most cards). Not all DisplayPorts support HDMI output (but most do), so check that before you buy. Pretty much all modern cards come with three, four, or even five, outputs (typically 2x DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI), so you won't have much of a problem finding a card suitable to your needs.

Seems like the newest beta driver does add a few FPS in real-world usage, indeed: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-geforce-337.50-driver-benchmarks,26473.html#xtor=RSS-100 Not a massive difference, but getting a few more frames out of my 780 Ti in BF4 seems nice.

My 780 ti has mostly been going towards BF4 and being able to max CS:GO and not have to worry about losing any frame advantage for competitive matches, but Sleeping Dogs is the other big game I love to play. There's a single GPU at 2560x1600 graph further down the page, it suggest something around a 7 FPS increase. quote:

corinthian68 posted:Unlikely to be a PSU issue then? Ah well, I think I'll return the card to Amazon first and see if the replacement they send works better. They're usually really good with returns and I think it'll be simpler to deal with them as a first step. Thanks a lot. Your issue certainly is a pretty typical sign of a card defect. And with a 750 Watt PSU, you have more than enough power headroom for a 780 Ti. Heck, a second 780 Ti should pose no problem.

LuciferMorningstar posted:If I just buy a new card, probably a 760, and uninstall my drivers before installing the new card, is it probable that the issue will go away? This type of video driver crash typically is a sign that the card in question has a hardware defect: A brand new graphics card without faults shouldn't give you any hassle. The "solution" to the driver crashing is either to underclock the card (and, thus, circumvent the issue) or to get a new one. Fame Douglas fucked around with this message at 22:00 on May 26, 2014 |

Some of the factory overclocked cards running more extreme clock speeds tend to have a higher likelihood of having been manufactured with chips that can't handle the speed and, therefore, are potentially more prone to errors in their "out of the box" configuration. Of course, you're then free to RMA your new purchase to receive a unit that is working perfectly. A modestly factory overclocked card is probably a safer purchase (I'm running a perfectly stable 6% factory overclocked Asus 780 Ti DirectCU II myself, for example).

Funnily enough, the first 780 Ti I had bought was a Gigabyte GTX 780 Ti WindForce 3X OC; a card many people have experienced problems with, including me (nVidia driver crashes in games as well as visible artifacts in 3DMark 11, but not in games). Thankfully, I was able to get it exchanged for the Asus. But I think the general consensus on here is that, typically, Gigabyte cards are fine.

The problem, as described, really does sound like a card hardware defect: Unless we're thinking of different incidents, the Fermi specific driver problem (apparently present in the driver software for something like 6 months) did happen while browsing on the desktop mainly. The time frame mentioned, as well as the nature of the problem, make this sound like a regular ol' chip that can't handle the workload to me. But feel free to correct me if you still think I'm wrong!

Sir Unimaginative posted:And like I said before, nVidia drivers are messy. I don't have insider information describing their compatibility or on-update configuration repopulation (nVidia profiles especially have changed a lot since SGSSAA became a popular tweak), but dragging stuff up from a year ago that no one thought to clear out is entirely within the realm of possibility, and if that had a hand in causing problems, it'd be really hard to ferret out. That seems like a stretch to me, a hardware failure is really likely in this case. I'd be surprised if doing a crazy driver/Windows re-install ever fixed this problem (but going for a clean install is a reasonable troubleshooting step that should be done, considering software tends to be a complex beast).

Arzachel posted:Are there any benefits to using adaptive V-Sync instead of just capping the framerate in Nvidia inspector/Radeon pro? Capping the framerate does not eliminate tearing. And while Radeon Pro does offer Dynamic V-sync Control, its development has also been halted. With nVidia, adaptive VSync is a regular driver feature not dependent on third-party efforts.

Shaocaholica posted:As has been discussed, the new consoles have essentially 8GB of shared memory of which could hypothetically be mostly used as vram. So developers will have access to <8GB of vram -if they wanted-. I'm not going to try to give you solid numbers and dates of the future but as all these things go the numbers always get bigger, not smaller. How long do you plan keeping the card? Both consoles only expose a smaller amount of memory (5 GB Xbone/5.5 GB PS4) to developers.

Arzachel posted:This is a fun one. Notebookcheck only mentions the 4GB version of the Maxwell 860m, so there's a chance that the 2GB part is actually a Kepler GTX760 underclocked to 800mhz. Good job Nvidia! I've bought a Gigabyte P34G v2 recently (a powerful portable laptop that contains a 4GB GTX 860m Maxwell): VRAM amount does not indicate whether the chip is a Kepler or Maxwell part, that is false information circulating some forums. It seems, with the Y50, both the 2GB and 4GB version are Maxwell parts.

Again repeating my recommendation for the Gigabyte P34G v2/XMG C404 laptop - pretty powerful (Maxwell 860m) and very light, I'm super happy with it. Of course, probably not the hefty gaming laptop beast you're looking for.

MS may yet be ditching the 8 ship for 9's shores, but changing away from the Update nomenclature doesn't have anything to do with that, IMO. It has everything to do with that, PR articles about supposed agile software development at Microsoft notwithstanding. They are clearly artificially holding back the start menu for a marketing push next year and not planning on delivering "smaller updates in a timely manner". This is just their marketing spin for "we're not making good on our promises we made earlier this year to Win 8 users". r0ck0 posted:what's miracast good for?

TheQat posted:Iris/Iris pro are pretty decent if your gaming needs aren't "play the latest AAA title" but you're still mostly right I still consider Intel Iris to be "pretty bad". Laptop processor graphics also tend to suffer from thermal throttling in games. Even a lower end dedicated graphics card will offer much better performance, and something like an nVidia 860m (Maxwell) is pretty cool but still allows for reasonably compact and light laptop builds.

Beautiful Ninja posted:Intel looks to be getting pretty close with the Iris stuff and the integrated high speed eSRAM. I believe next generation AMD APU's will also be putting some eSRAM on die and gain those benefits, we're probably reaching the point soon enough that it's not worth buying a video card for entry level 1080p. I'm very sceptical. Regular Iris is terrible and Iris Pro is still pretty far from "game worthy" as well as not really suited for laptops (I don't think there are even any Iris Pro laptops on the market). Even the small form factor desktop Gigabyte BRIX Pro suffers severe thermal throttling issues when gaming. veedubfreak posted:I have an 8790M in this laptop and just using some regular windows based programs makes this sucker start cooking anything that's near the vent. nVidia Optimus solves this problem pretty well - haven't had any experience with AMD Switchable Graphics, so far.

Well, Intel GMA was crap, pretty much. Not hard to improve on that. I expect processor graphics to remain okay for many users, but certainly not good enough for (serious) gamers in the foreseeable future.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I have one of the Xbone Elite Series 2 controllers and it was so worth it. The thing is a tank, all the buttons and sticks feel really nice, and the paddles kick rear end for some games where you want to hit face buttons while you're aiming. It was expensive, but considering I got 8 years out of my wired 360 controller, I'm good with paying 180 bucks for a piece of hardware that should last a decade. In my experience, it's not actually built like a tank, it's the same shoddy quality as the regular controller just way heavier. Unless you like an overpriced controller that has way too much weight and breaks quickly, steer clear. repiv posted:You'd hope it would last a decade but the first gen Elite controllers were notoriously unreliable.

Rolo posted:I had a similar problem with a b450 and 3700x. I had recently installed some Corsair vengeance 3200 that needed XMP to hit 3200. Tons of crashes. With the RAM being brand new I assumed it was that and exchanged it for a replacement of the same kind. More crashes so I changed to some G skill and it never happened again, even with XMP on. This could be due to one set of RAM sticks being dual rank, while the other was single rank. Dual rank sticks stress the memory controller like two single rank sticks, which means maximum RAM speed is lower with 4 dual rank sticks. How many sticks did you have on your board?
