    Am I wasting my time using my second rig as dedicated streaming computer?

    So I tried a 1080/60 stream and got all kinds of CPU related issues from the laptop; the stream on the live end look terrible my audience reported. Really looking at trying this through NDI. If I did, which encoding method would I want to use? Could I use NVEC w/ my 660Ti's in SLI, or is that...

    Nvidia 1060 & secondary display not working with DVI

    Theory was correct. Display port>HDMI fixed the issue FWIW.

    Nvidia 1060 & secondary display not working with DVI

    I think I figured it out. TMK, newer GPUs do not ouput any analog signal whatsoever, and the DVI cable I was using was very old, likely analog. Getting a DisplayPort Adapter>HDMI to test my theory soon. Thanks, -I3

    Fastest way to transfer large files (~10GB) from PC to MacBook?

    Tried Windows Migration Assistant over Wi-Fi, moves at a snails pace, ~19mb/s. The only option I can figure for now without buying removable media is to upload to iCloud Drive, but I have a slow upload speed so this isn't ideal. Any ideas appreciated! Best, -I3

    Nvidia 1060 & secondary display not working with DVI

    Primary monitor is being fed by HDMI. Secondary monitor I'm trying to add, I'm connecting via DVI. When using either port, when I connect DVI up, both screens go blank. When I unplug the DVI connection, the primary HDMI display comes back up. Windows 10. Any help appreciated! Best, -I3

    Razer Synapse really causes issues

    I'm on my 3rd clean install, lol..

    Razer Synapse really causes issues

    Update~ If I lose settings, so far logging out of Synapse and back in has resolved the issue. This is still cumbersome to a degree; likewise, better than having to end all Razer processes without a working mouse.

    Razer Synapse really causes issues

    I do not. Edit~ Testing it by taking a small extra step and running as administrator when I start it up. Wish me luck.

    Razer Synapse really causes issues

    The largest issue that I have is that frequently, my mouse config will go away (sensitivity buttons disabled), and same with keyboard. The only way to fix is to end all Razer processes and restart Synapse.

    Razer Synapse really causes issues

    Extremely helpful post. If you know more, you could probably do a write-up if you wanted to help a lot of Razer users, because through all of my searching on the Internet, there's not much resolution. Has Synapse ever worked for you? Did you successfully create/login an account the first time...

    Razer Synapse really causes issues

    Checked the Razer forums already, everyone is ranting on and on about it with no fix in sight that I can find. Again, love the product, but the software is problematic.

    Razer Synapse really causes issues

    Searched the forums, and didn't see any posts relevant to this in the past several years. Switch over from Logitech to Razer, in particular the Blackwidow Elite & the Deathadder Elite. I don't have much use for Synapse, other than setting my sensitivity, disabling the sens. stages so I don't...

    Am I wasting my time using my second rig as dedicated streaming computer?

    I had a modem with the Intel Puma 6 chipset. Just replaced it today. Curious if it fixes the issue. Never knew about the Puma 6 chipset issue.

    Am I wasting my time using my second rig as dedicated streaming computer?

    Oh well, where I'm currently streaming I can only do 720/60, so it'll be okay for now, as the stream is smooth as butter. 1080/60 may look just as good, haven't really tested it, since I can't stream higher than 720/60. Thanks for the input. Best, -I3

    Shucks, thanks for the replies. I figured the i5 from back in the day wouldn't be sufficient.

    Am I wasting my time using my second rig as dedicated streaming computer?

    Currently solely streaming from a machine with: Win 10 i7-8750H 16GB RAM GTX 1070 Not having any issues on 720/60 streams, however was thinking for more intensive games using my old rig could be helpful, whether through a capture card or NDI. Specs of the potential second rig for the...

    Anyone else not give a single hoot about overclocking

    I didn't read your post, but I did read the title. And the answer for me is, no, I do not give a single hoot about overclocking. I buy what I need and if it can't perform I upgrade.

    Best service for high quality audio ?

    It's great for streaming in the car or to the boat at the lake, etc...but overall, the SQ doesn't touch Tidal when it comes to streaming!

    Breaking in headphones

    Don't forget to break in your cables! In all seriousness, while the "break-in" period of any piece of equipment is probably snake oil, my 7 year old HD650s would likely sound noticeably different than a set of brand new, out of the box ones.

    Best speakers for $1000?

    B&W CM1s get my vote. Depends on how you like the presentation of your metal though. B&Ws are laid back, and some would even say mellow, but to my ear at least, they're not fatiguing after hours of listening.

    Best service for high quality audio ?

    Funny this came up...I posted this earlier~ "8-10 years ago, before streaming was a thing, I'd rip my CD collection to my computer, FLAC of course. With the rise of Spotify, Tidal and the like, streaming has become king. But, wow, revisiting these rips, the same track I frequent on Spotify at a...

    Well. with all of this in mind~ Without starting a new thread, what would be the best monitor with gaming in mind, largest possible, doesn't have to be "ultrawide"......144Hz would be nice....G-Sync even? Overall I just want something larger than my 27" Dell with FAR superior brightness and...

    Do I want a Samsung C49HG90 49" QLED Curved?

    Thank you for the information. I had forgot to check Rtings, this is how I ended up purchasing my KS8000. Great site. Any other recommendations for a great ultrawide that's large (doesn't have to be AS big), but better HDR performance, black uniformity, etc? For some reason I just have my...

    Do I want a Samsung C49HG90 49" QLED Curved?

    I'm also concerned on depth on this monitor. It lists around 15.6" deep, and I'm curious if this is from the rear of the monitor the widest point of the base, or what. My keyboard may not even fit if it's 15.6" deep from the back to the center of the monitor, lol.

    Do I want a Samsung C49HG90 49" QLED Curved?

    I've searched the [H] forums and haven't found any solid reviews on this monitor. HDR is cool, so is 144Hz. I currently have 1 27" center, 2 23" flanking it. How is backlight bleeding, for those that have it? I have a Samsung KS8000 and off-axis it's terrible. Thoughts, comments, tips...

    No bottleneck, new build for gaming

    I have a monitor, but looking at getting the 49" Ultrawide Samsung. Already have a kb/mouse from Logitech. For storage I would like a couple of large SSDs. Should I juice up the power supply some to have SLI capability in future? Thanks! ~i3

    When I say bottleneck, I mean no skimping on RAM, or another part, that would bottleneck something else within the build.

    Why am I paying for 200Mb, and only capping around 100?

    Figured it out. It was a "DUH!" moment. My UPS was routing my ethernet, and it was limited to 10/100. Bypassing that has resolved the issue. Thanks, -I3

    Why am I paying for 200Mb, and only capping around 100?

    Their modem. I upped it to 200. I’ve called twice and they always want to send someone out. Isn’t it as easy as reprovisioning on their end if that’s the issue?

    I have an AC1750 running Cat6 to my PC. My computer’s LAN port is gigabit. When I click on adapter settings it shows 1.0Gbps. I have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem from the ISP. If it matters I had a 10/100 router before. Any help appreciated!
