    Questions about multi-display setup w/ 4k TV as monitor on a 780 Ti.

    I currently have 3x1440p and a Samsung 1080p TV hooked up to my PC. The Samsung is through my old 780 Ti, since my 1080 Ti does not have HDMI. My ignorance on TV technology is staggering, but I had some pretty specific questions I was hoping someone with knowledge could answer. 1. Will my...

    Complete hard shutdowns out of nowhere?

    Yeah I've had a problem similar to this before, but it was disguised as a GPU issue. It was extremely annoying. Partly for that reason, and partly for the desire for white cabling and a full modular instead of half, I just went ahead and got a Supernova G3 1000W. I put it in earlier tonight...

    Complete hard shutdowns out of nowhere?

    Interesting note about the wall power... not sure how I could really test that elsewhere since it doesn't seem to crash quickly sometimes (it's gone for 2 hours before) and I can't really move my PC. I have lowered both GPUs power limits just to see if it makes any difference. Haven't crashed...

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    My Canada Computers has opened preorders for NV and AIB versions of the Founder Editions. No price, no date, but it's something. Hopefully they aren't too far behind that March 10th date.

    Looking into upgrading, not sure if I can do what I want.

    I'm going to get a 1080 Ti and also want to get some new monitors to go with it, but I am pretty ignorant when it comes to monitor stuff, I'm not sure if what I have can work with what I want. Currently have (780 Ti): 1x Qnix2710LED - Dual DVI only. 2x Syncmaster P2370 - Both panels only have a...

    Laptop speakers inexplicably stopped working

    Well of course after I make this post, I hand the laptop back to my mom, she reboots it and the speakers work (yes I rebooted many times). So... who knows what the hell the problem was.

    Laptop speakers inexplicably stopped working

    I consider myself a pretty computer savvy guy, but I am at a complete loss here. My mom has a laptop that she uses for basically Facebook and has had it for a while. We use it via HDMI to watch movies on the living room TV pretty often. When running Twitch streams in Source, it tends to go...

    Can only use 1 or 3 monitors?

    When I unplug the HDMI cable, the 2nd monitor stops being recognized by Windows. I went into the NV CP and it only shows my 1440 as an available display. When I plug it back in, all 3 work fine. EDIT: Will edit just in case anyone gets here from Google. I had to go into the Screen...

    Can only use 1 or 3 monitors?

    I run 3 monitors with a 780 Ti. One is Dual DVI (1440p), one is DVI, and one is using an HDMI to DVI cable (HDMI into the GPU). I unplugged just the HDMI cable to plug it into my Wii U and I lost the DVI monitor, it gave a no input signal. Is there some limitation I don't know about or way...

    Is there a way to prevent games from lagging with video (Twitch/TY) fullscreen?

    @Pora - Running all 3 from the Ti. My VI Hero has no internal graphics option. @Armenius - No, the window being open at all causes lag, not just fullscreen. @mrrogers747 - You know what, I've tried this before and it never seemed to help, but doing it just now it looks like that does solve...

    Is there a way to prevent games from lagging with video (Twitch/TY) fullscreen?

    I was really hoping that was the fix, but sadly it doesn't work. Even when watching through VLC, games will lag. The framerate counter in game doesn't change, but it gets choppy. I know that sounds ridiculous, but once I close VLC it is extremely noticeable how much smoother it gets. Was...

    Is there a way to prevent games from lagging with video (Twitch/TY) fullscreen?

    Man, that's depressing. All this hardware... can't watch video while gaming. Thanks for confirmation.

    Is there a way to prevent games from lagging with video (Twitch/TY) fullscreen?

    I run 3 monitors (1440 and 2x1080) and when running video on Twitch or YT fullscreen while a game is running, the game lags noticeably. Framerate doesn't drop that much, but it's very clearly causing unplayable lag. Is there a way to prevent or remedy this, or is it unavoidable?

    Anyone have issues in Path of Exile?

    RAM is stock. The only thing that leads me to believe it's not a bad OC is that I've played hundreds of hours in multiple other games with zero issues, seems weird that PoE would be one to cause a problem.
