Sharknice was asking about watching streaming services on PC, specifically referring to framerate matching. The Windows Netflix app does not framerate match. IMO it still looks great, there is no drop in resolution and it supports HDR. Some people find 24fps content being played on a 60-144hz...

As mentioned, I only use Netflix for streaming(and sometimes Prime), but Netflix through Kodi does framerate matching if I want. Interesting actually as Netflix added framerate matching to Firesticks just a few months ago, I'm not sure about Roku or others. That said a lot of the time I will...

I still don't understand this. When I play files on my PC it literally changes the video output to match the file I am playing. Like if I play a 2160p24 HDR file with Atmos audio, my TV gets 2160p24 with HDR input while the file is being played, and my receiver gets an Atmos audio signal. There...

To each their own I guess, though I really don't understand a lot of your points. Netflix supports 4K and Atmos just fine on PC, which is good enough for me. I know most or all other services don't(supposedly to curb pirating of content even though its completely ineffective) but the only other...

Yes I've had a Plex server set up for years and I like it. Like I said I still use sticks on my TVs and I use plex, Netflix, Prime, etc but for my go to main home theater I still prefer the PC environment.

I don't know, I've spent a while trying to just go with various media players and Firesticks or Rokus but I just ordered a mini-pc to function as my HTPC. Most things will be streamed from my server or other PCs in the house. To me there are just too many hang-ups and lack of customization with...

I'm really tempted on a Pixel 6. I'm rocking a Pixel 3XL(fairly new too so good condition and good battery) and I'm just not sure if the upgrade would be worth it. And then I'm thinking if I do get one, should I go just the 6 or the pro? I would want a 256gb model either way, the price...

I own about 2000 RVN. Not much and not gonna bother selling any, just something to hold on to long term. I might start a card or 2 mining RVN at some point.

Yes. This is in Canada. It looks like BB Canada is doing more in store drops. They have also disabled the online inventory checker so the only way to find out if they have stock is to walk in and ask. That said I was on a Discord and someone in the BC channel said my local BB had some 3060s so I...

I was busy at the time so couldn't manage to get a notify until 7:15PST so I'm sure I'm way back on the list, but I did put the 3060 I found at BB a week ago in for a step-up to a 3070ti so we will see what happens. Would have preferred a 3080 but from what I understand that step-up isn't moving...

TNT2, still have it sitting in a box in the shed. Also had an ATI All in wonder 128 Pro around the same time and a little later tried out a Voodoo 3 2000. Looking back I'm not even sure how I could afford it, I was in high school at the time. I spent a lot of time building, overclocking, etc...

I"ve got 4 cards going: 6700XT Vega 56 2070 1070Ti Total of 143 MH/s. Overall not the most efficient, but it works. My current profit has averaged about $10-12 a day the last 4 days or so, with a few spikes here and there, but power cost is less than $2/day so still worth it.

Same here. The money is not an issue, but supporting this kind of markup is a no go. Up here in Canada Best Buy didn't bother with an online drop last week, instead they spread stock to stores and you had to physically walk in and buy them. Didn't work out all that great though, I missed an EVGA...

I'm using the Nicehash miner on my AMD cards, not Quickminer. Quickminer wont even start unless an Nvidia card is detected. I still get no stats with my 6700XT in the Nicehash miner client, I do get stats with my Vega 56. I can see those stats for my 6700XT elsewhere though so I'm not too...

Yes I have the same issue with my 6700XT, no stats show up.

In the Nicehash miner go in to the settings and there is an option for server to connect to.

quoting myself because i was mistaken. the discount applied at checkout, so it looks like only current prime members cannot take advantage of this.

looks like you can't even get this if you have ever been a prime member. i did a prime trail over a year ago and cancelled, tried adding this to cart and the price got "adjusted" to $99. i guess they don't want to win people back, just just attract completely new customers.

i am in canada, affordable lte tablets are hard to find here. i am on the telus network and can data share my plan with a tablet, i want to use it as a head unit in my jeep. so, i found an at&t t217a tab 3 from a reputable ebay seller for $70us, good enough i figured. i think this thing is...

it is up to date and one reason i am doing this is because my mobo has been giving me constant BSODs, im running on a backup mobo for now until i upgrade. thanks for the recommendations, didnt even think of the RAM voltage. edit: is zotac any good? the 1 year warranty doesnt scream quality to...

ok. how about this: Gigabyte B75M-D3H 79.99 Intel Core i5 3470 199.99 Corsair XMS3 2x4GB 69.99 XFX Radeon HD 7850 1GB 154.99AR so ~$505 +tax i think im ok with the cpu/mobo, but not sure on the video card. any better bang for buck?

answers in bold and danny, i live like a 15 minute drive from ncix so it makes sense to go there. that being said i also have prime for amazon canada and if the deal makes sense i will order elsewhere. ncix is just very convenient for me.

not a noobie, but i havent built a pc in several years and i have not followed along with new hardware at all, so im looking for advice on building/upgrading to a "current, semi-upgradeable, mid-level, bang-for-buck" kinda pc:p 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web...

thanks guys. split vote though, still not sure. zero, why do you say the XFX is better? you list positives for the OCZ but recommend the XFX. i will say this, i have read nothing but positive reviews for the OCZ(and likewise the XFX), all of them citing excessive price as the only downside at...

any experience on these? i bought the xfx already for $93, it has a $15 MIR. but now i see the OCZ for $119, with a $30 MIR. i do not put much stock in MIRs, but they are a bonus if they come. just not sure if i should go for the OCZ and return the XFX. the OCZ is 100w more, gold and...

Link to futureshop i have no experience with the mouse, but apparently it is good for htpcs and presenters and is marked down from $190(NCIX price is $165). at the current rate, they will be sold out by the end of the day.

Here I know nothing about this company, I found this on a home theater forum. I don't know if its a mistake or what. the projector is only 480p, but its native 16:9 and it's a good quality unit with great reviews.......for $70 it's an absolute steal. They only ship within the US, and I am...

this is very true, i know NCIX still sells them for $40-50 or something. just a few weeks ago i threw up a bunch of old useless parts i had laying around on craigslist, not much sold but the 5200FX did immediately for $25. it's really a useless card, but seems to be popular to this day for some...

wiki says under 400F. i could definitely see this working, and seems like a fantastic way to reseat all the connections. i know the same method(more or less) is used successfully on rrod 360s. good job OP!

again, through pics i see on google, it looks like the top slot on the xps 420 is PCI, and the PCI-e is one slot down which would give you room for a double slot cooler. if you are unsure, just pop the side panel off and have a look.

thats good question. i have owned sapphire before and it was fine.......but i have heard sapphire customer support is really terrible. xfx has gone into the ati arena, so i think they are by far the best brand as far as ati is concerned(they offer double lifetime warranty and are reputedly...

i did a quick search on the xps 420, seems the specs vary........but im guessing you run a q6600? maybe higher? also, what resolution are you playing at? regardless, the 4850 is a much better card than the 2600xt, and you'll see a significant gain across the board. its also one of the best bang...

lol, that probably applies more to walmart than anyone else. i dont think we have gamestop in canada, at least not in vancouver.....we do have eb games though, they are basically the same deal as far as prices. if walmart is serious and does their usual thing, gamestop will be out of business in...

ah, see....i have been out of the game for a while. did not know that, i will try it out tonight.

the last water cooling setup i had was with my old duron 600 years ago. i built everything myself, including the waterblock and i was able to hit a 100% OC with that chip. i haven't done watercooling since, and i know that these days high end air coolers are much better.......but if i were to...

thanks for the response, im still trying different things......i might just switch back and forth for a while and see. ive been out of the OC game for a while, but a chip like this with all sorts of possibilities has regained my interest. now the geek in me wants to go out and spend hundreds...

if you dont have a player, you can get a netmd player that records faster through a usb pc interface at various compression levels. i actually still have one with a number of discs lying around here somewhere.......at the time i thought it was a great unit. but times change, and personally i...

i am in the process of doing just that, i was just curious if anyone else had experience/opinions on the matter.

i bought a 720BE yesterday, unlocking the fourth core was a breeze......but, i cant OC as much with the 4th core. my max stable speed at 4 cores is 3.4ghz, max with 3 cores seems to be 3.7ghz+(still need to do more testing). i mainly game, maybe a little video encoding plus web browsing and...

my MB supports crossfire, it did not come with a crossfire bridge.
