    When to upgrade 570? I run in 3d a lot.

    That makes sense and gives me something to start with. I'm running Skyrim HD (the light version), just didn't know which ones I had enabled that really slowed me down, but that seems like the place to start. Thanks!

    When to upgrade 570? I run in 3d a lot.

    Done, waiting for Maxwell. Definitely want to get the most bang (and delay building another box) for as long as possible. Now off to find out which mods are causing me the most problems, it's a pain but not a 300$ pain. Thanks very much for the replies!

    When to upgrade 570? I run in 3d a lot.

    Hello, I have a 2500K, 16 gigs ram, big fast ssd and an older video card (EVGA 570). I don't have any problems on a 27 inch 1080p 120hz monitor running anything I want at speeds/settings I'm very comfortable with. I usually upgrade the video around this time in my build cycle as I build a...

    WD Red drives?

    Ordered 4 from Newegg - 2 failed of the 4. Sent back 2 to Newegg - 1 failed of the 2 they sent back. Finally got all drives up and running on a Cineraid box - another just failed today (I think of the original batch but not sure). Sending all 4 back to Newegg, getting store credit and getting...

    MKV issues - troubleshooting help

    Good info from the last 2 posts! Thanks! I will check it again tonight as far as CPU usage goes vs. GPU. I think from what I remember last week the proc was getting hit pretty hard even with VLC "use hardware acceleration/GPU" enabled.

    MKV issues - troubleshooting help

    Thanks Snowknight26. I'm feeling the same way, funny that the other video player worked properly, need to find out what codec it was using and try it in vlc if possible. The celeron can handle certain Blu-Rays just fine though, this has been interesting and enlightening to say the least so...

    MKV issues - troubleshooting help

    Here is the proc: http://ark.intel.com/products/35101/Intel-Celeron-Processor-E1400-512K-Cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB I moved the file to the local hdd (old 150 gig raptor) and it still stuttered badly in VLC. I thought it might be the software so I pulled the 64 bit VLC 2.0.5 and put on the 32...

    MKV issues - troubleshooting help

    GPU is a Geforce 275 and the cpu might be an issue considering the PCs' differences there - HTPC has a Celeron E1400 at 2.0ghz. I'm not sure what the bitrate is (new to makemkv) because I just let it do its thing on my gaming rig (not htpc) and as I tested them there they seemed to...

    MKV issues - troubleshooting help

    I'm logging in now to move one of the troublesome videos local so I can see if it's better locally, not sure why I didn't do that to begin with but other large blu-rays play fine, some don't so I didn't think about that. Duh.

    MKV issues - troubleshooting help

    I have a fairly powerful machine as an HTPC (win7, 4 gigs ram, celeron proc), gig network and can't play just some MKVs over the network with VLC (stuttering/starting stopping video - audio continues just fine). My gaming machine (win8, 16 gigs ram, i52500K) can play these files just fine...
