    AVR bitstreaming not working

    I do see the AMD HDMI Output show up but it says it's not plugged in for some reason. Is it really that I'm not outputting a video signal to the Onkyo? The receiver shows up in CCC as a display but it won't let me duplicate or extend the display. Maybe my setup is wrong. Right now my HDTV is...

    AVR bitstreaming not working

    Sup all, just got an Onkyo 6300 and set it all up nicely. I was hoping for some plug & play magic to happen once I hooked the HDMI to the 6970 but nope, that'd just be too easy. Apparently you only have to select this and your good to go, except for the part where for me it just says that it's...

    HTiB to PC

    Sorry for the late reply, but what about trying to get 7.1 over HDMI through the motherboard or GPU that supports it. Which would probably mean I wouldn't need a sound card if it sounds better. I'd also be willing to spend about a grand on a good setup, my first choice was the Onkyo 6200 but...

    HTiB to PC

    Sup, just wanted to ask the people who use HTiB's or custom setups for their PC's. What's the best way you use to connect them? HDMI through the GPU? Optical? Just 5.1 analog? Do you even use a sound card? I wanted to use an Onkyo s6200 on my pc and maybe get some 7.1 going on. And for the...

    Vista: files hidden from virus

    Hey guys I just got hit by a vista recovery virus, the one that makes you think your HDD is crashing. After getting rid of it with Malwarebytes everything seems to be hidden, even the start menu. So far I tried changing my folder options to show hidden files & folders and some software which...

    What is the Current 1920x1080 Display King?

    I wonder if the BenQ V2400w matches that Acer G245H..

    Best 1TB HD?

    Anyone using one? I get a little worried because of a lot of complaints about HD's dying within months of even on delivery. I got a couple of candidates, can you give me your suggestion? Are any particular brands known for longevity? I prefer a combination of good performance and value then an...

    Can't Record Off Xonar D2X

    I've been going through at least 5 sound recorders and I none of them seem to be getting any signal. I've tried most of the "recording devices" and nothing, am I missing something?

    Overclock Me

    Heeeey. Just heard that my Q6600 at stock is a very sad thing to have, very. So ya, was hoping someone could teach me the ways of OC, since.. I know na-da. I get the impression that the settings being changed will be different for all PC's because of different hardware. I'm aiming for a 3.2/3.4...

    Should I rush to 5870?

    I have a big tower case and a Scythe Ninja attached onto it, so I should be golden for 3.2/3.4. So far for OC it seems like it's different for every PC because of different hardware, is this right? I'm googling around for guides but I don't trust them because one guide will mention something...

    Should I rush to 5870?

    Dayum looks like I'll be getting it, thx guys. I'm sure that future cards can only improve on upon heating issues, right? And I make plenty of pocket money so I don't mind blowing dough on this. But is this common? For the next generation to always give a significant improvement? If so this is...

    Should I rush to 5870?

    My rig: ASUS P5Q Deluxe ATi 4890 1Gig Q6600 QUAD CPU 2.4GHz (stock) 4 Gigs Ram Vista 64 bit 1920x1200 I'm asking this cause I always game at 1920x1200 with maxed settings, which is usually great. But as soon as I pump up the AA on those kind of settings it gets laggy, understandable I...

    Fallout 3 crashing thread

    I just installed it and can't even start a new game, I just get a black screen and a message saying it's not responding. I've tried the common fixes with no effect, the weird thing is it worked before when I had the 4870 card and right now I have the 4890. I also have a Xonar D2X but I've...

    My 4870 died, or did it?

    I bought it online from DirectCanada or NCIX and didn't keep the invoice or anything, so I'm not sure if Sapphire will take the card. And I got absolutely nothing on my screen while the fans were blaring. Normally it would die down to a normal level after a few seconds and I would get a signal...

    Radeon Vapor/Toxic coolers

    Crapadocius, I just got a 4890 but it's a standard Sapphire with factory cooling. I was just wondering if there's a significant difference between factory and vapor/toxic coolers for the 4870's, 4890's. Do they cool a lot more which in turn means better performance? Or are they just meant for...
