Thanks ppo. Not sure how I never came up with this combination but it is working for me. I can't try all three monitors yet but as soon as I get a chance I'll post how that went. I am having a problem with it reverting to the Windows 7 basic color scheme because it says it's exceeding the...
I've been trying with just a single monitor on the discrete GPU and a single monitor on the integrated GPU but I can't get it to work at all.
At one time, after trying removing drivers and I can't remember what all else, I did see what must have been the unrecognized intel graphics adapter in...
Dan,
Were you able to run a primary monitor on the discrete graphics card and run an additional monitor(s) on the on-board integrated iGPU? I have the P8Z68-V Pro motherboard and a Radeon 6970 video card. No matter what I do in the Bios, I can't get both video sources to output at the same...
I placed my order tonight, and I went with:
i7-2600K CPU
Asus P8Z68-V Pro
XFX 6970 2GB
G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM x2
Intel 510 SSD 128GB
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
I found a combo as suggested by tonytnnt and had a Promo code as well that saved me over $60 on the memory...
OK, so I'm lost when it comes to memory. I was looking at G.Skill just because it was recommended on some build guides. I don't mind paying a little extra for quality, but I don't want to buy something that is overkill. Can anyone recommend something from Newegg and post a link? Currently, I...
re: Transcoding
What about this scenario. I have a 30" monitor that runs at 2560x1600, so using the 'I' mode doesn't sound like an option since it's single-link DVI. I do however want to take advantage of Virtu for transcoding video. Will Virtu work in 'D' mode? I thought it would but now...
Thanks for the advice on the Z68 chipset. It seems to make much more sense for my needs. I've been reading reviews and it looks like the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO would be a good choice once it's available on Newegg.
Knowing that the motherboard will take care of transcoding, does the i7 2600k...
I'm looking for advice on a i5 2500k / i7 2600k build.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
For the most part, I will be multitasking in Windows. I tend to have lots of browser tabs open at once and have sabnzbd, sickbeard, pytivo, airvideo...
