The asus xonar sound cards with dolby headphone, and all those dolby 7.1 gaming headphones work on this principle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wFdQPGxKIQ

the cost of shipping is so high on crt. Also a lot of them are the annoyingly narrow 4:3 aspect ratio or have a small screen size. And it's hard to find crt displays nowadays.

I'm in a similar situation. For gaming, 144hz tn with freesync or gsync is ideal. But those displays are expensive and have really poor contrast compared to VA, and VA in turn has poor contrast compared to OLED. TN can have relatively decent color accuracy, compared to cheap 6 bit e-ips monitors...

Assuming we can rule out the super expensive sennheiser hd800 and akg k812, it would be the audio technica ad900x. Honorable mention to the akg k702. For a microphone, just buy a separate one.

I think I may be in the process of getting a va panel. I'm a little worried since I do some gaming atm, but hopefully I'll manage.

the gtx 960 has full h265 decoding. intel broadwell has vp9 decoding, but i think it is partial.

go to stock and see if it crashes, just for experimental purposes.

make sure you are using 2 different pci express cables, and not just one that is branching off to 2 connectors. I know that's tempting cause it makes the wires look better, but it's not meant for high end cards.

don't overthink it. It's pretty self explanatory, you can just press the button and run it. Hyperthreading makes multithreaded code run faster based on the assumption that the code won't be perfectly optimized, and the cpu can put idle parts to work as virtual processors. Since intelburntest is...

ad700x or fidelio x1

not to pick on evga, but why don't we have native usb 3.0 mice yet? it should handle peripherals better.

i've heard the flip side of this argument, which is that you can get used to how bad tn panels look. Ultimately, I think you are just gonna have to accept that you can't have it all, and you can't really say that one type is the best for everything.

ad700x

if the crashing is what I think it is, you can do one of 3 things to fix it: 1.use nvidia drivers 331.93 or newer 2. disable hardware acceleration in firefox 3. use chrome instead of firefox

I've heard that amd only supports newer opengl's on paper only. The newest opengl is essentially an nvidia-only api and too unstable with other vendors. Also, I'm not sure why settings being tied to vram is a criticism. Those settings seem to affect vram usage more than performance, so it's a...

Alright, I'm just gonna suggest you switch browsers to chrome along with use the latest nvidia drivers.

sbx pro is the only one that works with iem headphones I think. The other methods seem to require the outer ear.

314 is the problem driver in which fermi graphics cards crash from 2d. you can't go back past 331.93 beta.

You have to make sure you are using the latest drivers. 2d rendering can make them crash with old drivers.

Well, I guess if you were to use channel mixer, the end result would be pretty similar. They're both valid ways to solve the same problem.

if it is a 24 bit dac, set it to 24. if it is 16 bit, set it to 16. Also make sure it is your default device. for sampling frequency, I use 48khz for myself, but it depends on the content you listen to and how your dac performs at that frequency. CD quality music is 44.1khz, youtube videos as...

foobar gives you a lot of options. Essentially, the windows setting only applies to directsound output and few other types. You can bypass it entirely if you use the wasapi plugin, or the asio plugin, or the kernel streaming plugin. I think you can also use creative alchemy with directsound as...

I've seen programs that automatically change the windows setting dynamically, but even better is to use an audio renderer that doesn't care about your windows setting. This is stuff like ASIO and wasapi exclusive mode. There are plugins for these for most popular music players and some video...

6 channels, 48khz, headphone with spdif out checked and set to pcm in xonar control panel. Dolby headphone checked with your choice of dh 1 2 or 3. Make sure windows is set for 24 bit default format. Configure all your applications as if you had 5.1 surround sound. Though have you considered...

The advantages of using the decoder are that you can do processing of the audio on the pc. I use reclock for example, which requires pcm to work well. Another example is volume control on the computer. Another advantage is that you no longer need a hardware decoder, so that's great for any...
