Nvidia and AMD GPUs. Everything is good. That's what I thought. Have no clue why it got such high ratings on Amazon and such.

Bump! Any chance anyone encountered this kind of a problem? Already tried to RMA it... they claimed the monitor isn't defective or anything.

Hi guys, I bought a brand new ViewSonic VX2758-P-MHD 27-inch 1080p 144Hz 1ms gaming monitor. Now if I scroll vertically fast, I can see some annoying ghosting lines: Same in games too when scrolled quickly: I tried several DisplayPort and HDMI 2.0 cables (all certified) and messing...

In the future. Stereo direct is still broken on these drivers.

This release was updated to fix a crash on AMD Ryzen 5000 processors.

This is actually good. Looks better than the remastered version.

The USB drive is probably in GPT/EFI format.

AMIBIOS from 2009 should support USB boot. If you can't see it, try unlock hidden options with Shift+F1 / Alt+F1 / Ctrl+F1 while in the BIOS menu. Suppose to be in Advanced > USB Configuration. USB devices should appear in Boot > Removeable Drives.

Build 2004 is the same sh*t, even worst with the crackling. Some motherboards are totally fine, but some got it bad.

In Windows 10 build 1803, Microsoft made some kernel changes related to hardware timers that broke a lot of device drivers and caused high latency, stuttering and audio distortion on many systems. Microsoft claimed it was fixed on several occasions but is not completely true. Here are several...

FurMark was improved over the years and now features several 3D demos in both OpenGL and Vulkan. PhysX demo, Tessellation demo, VRAM burner, and artifacts scanner to detect the tiniest artifact that the human's eye can't catch. It is no longer "power virus" as people claim. Only cards with...

New threads related to unstable overclocks and defective hardware pop up on a regular occasion. It is often asked how to stress test some component. Below you'll find my top picks after weeks of testing - updated for 2020. GPU Unigine Heaven FurMark / MSI Kombuster *GPUs tend to clock down due...

LuxMark or GPU-Z's Render Test (press on ? near the bus).

FurMark isn't a good benchmark. It's great as a stress test. Runs better on Nvidia.

X58 motherboards are resilient... almost like WD 80GB IDE HDDs. Uncore voltage is the killer of the platform. There are plenty of BAD guides on the Internet claiming "1.35v is fine! DDR voltage doesn't matter as long as its in the 0.05v from QPI/VTT".

Your config is totally wrong: * QPI data strap also matters and should be higher than uncore but less than 8 MT/s. * For Westmere, it is better to push DDR clock high as possible (increase timing if needed). Uncore can be in 1.5x-2x ratio. * QPI/VTT voltage should be maximum at 1.3v for 24/7...

Realtek stopped publishing new audio drivers on its website and now uses Microsoft update. https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Realtek+Semiconductor+Corp.+-+MEDIA Make sure to sort the list by pressing on "last updated" and grab the 100+ MB file. Extract the CAB file...

In Windows 10 build 1803, Microsoft made some kernel changes related to hardware timers that broke a lot of device drivers and caused high latency on many systems. Ever since then, Sound Blaster Z / Zx / ZxR series are plagued with issues such as audio stuttering, crackling, popping, and sudden...

This is rubbish. Almost every CPU can run Crysis without a GPU in windowed low-resolution software renderer. Above is a 10-year-old Xeon W3680. Runs exactly the same like Linus Tech Tips.

Neither. Drivers from September solve the 100% GPU usage issue.

Latest drivers are somehow buggy. Its better to stick to previous drivers from 2-3 months ago.

I tried 2 DP cables, one came bundled with some monitor, the other purchased separately and supposed to be DP 1.4 certified. Possibly a bad batch, I've seen a few reviews on Amazon mentioning 'electric sparks' and such. And yes, it is the same card you linked to. If you overclocking, try to...

On November 26th, I bought an XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition 8GB (RX-580P8DFD6) from Amazon. The card was on sale for a special price of $189. After I installed the card and plugged in the monitor (ASUS VG248QE) via DisplayPort, it started buzzing, despite the fact the PC was completely cut...

Battlefield V already full of cheaters. No client-side anticheat.

Final version is out. v1.0.0 - Improved error detection. - Improved thread count detection. - Changed benchmark preset to run just once but for a longer period. v0.9.6 - Fixed core count detection for multi-processor systems. v0.9.5 - Improved cross-platform benchmarking. v0.9.4 - Improved...

Windows 7 may lack support for USB3, NVMe, DirectX 12 and some more. But at least, it doesn't install CANDY CRUSH SAGA without the user's permission. :X

You could host it on a secondary HDD or small partition with adjustments to grub.cfg, but its a matter of time until Gigabyte will release a fixed BIOS for your mobo. I suspect the BIOS (Gigabyte) is to blame for this. Intel took their time QA all microcodes.

So, it took Gigabyte almost a year to release BIOS update for Spectre and it came out 'broken'. :D You're lucky... use this: https://hardforum.com/threads/intel-microcode-boot-loader.1970313/ If the builtin microcode won't work neither, get an older version from...

The Linux SMP kernel is a lot more sensitive to CPU overclocking than Microsoft Windows. Errors appear a whole lot faster. 6 hours of Linpack on Linux is like 24 hours of Prime95. The video above demonstrates the superiority of Linpack Xtreme versus the latest version of Prime95. The...

In early 2018, security researchers discovered several security vulnerabilities affecting all processors: Meltdown and Spectre. These vulnerabilities allow speculative execution side-channel attacks (CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5754). While Meltdown was resolved with an OS patch...

Stress testing unstable PCs from within Windows always posed a risk of corruption to the OS registry and files. But now, thanks to Linpack Xtreme for Linux and the lightweight Porteus Linux, you can stress test without those worries anymore. The bootable version of Linpack Xtreme integrated on...

AMD users are going to like the latest version (v0.9.3). It's now stressing Zen like never before.

Linpack Xtreme is a console front-end with the latest build of Linpack (Intel Math Kernel Library Benchmarks 2018.3.011) developed and maintained by ngohq.com. Linpack is a benchmark and the most aggressive stress testing software available today. Best used to test stability of overclocked PCs...

Hi everyone, I follow this thread because I have the same issue with my XFX 5770 with modern warfware 2. I tried all the tips posted here but no of them worked.... some reduced it but I still got gray screen. Now I read this article...
